Course Objectives
This is an advanced course which will present a variety of topics generally not covered in depth in beginning classes. Emphasis will be on individual creative exploration and conceptual development. Advanced techniques and theory will be covered. Mixed media experimentation will be encouraged. Assessment of overall accomplishments is formulated during intense discussion at studio critiques occurring regularly throughout the semester. Students and instructor interact as a group during these critiques.
Topical Outline
Students will work on individual projects by submitting a conceptual proposal at the beginning of the semester as well as specific assignments. Demonstrations will be given as needed in advanced techniques and non-traditional approaches. Trips to the Georgia Museum of Art Print Room and Hargrett Rare Book Room are integrated into the syllabus to provide students the opportunity to view contemporary and historical prints and books.
