SEM 353 - Junior Seminar:Contemporary Topics and Practice:Fine Arts

Institution:

Maine College of Art

Subject:

Description:

Contemporary Topics and Practice is a studio/discussion course designed to provide historical ideas, context and ground for students to more clearly define their own studio work and relationship to art history. Group conversations, field trips, in-process critiques, workshops and/ or visiting artists will assist students in establishing strategies for studio research in order to isolate, identify, and pursue a meaningful subject(s) within a personal and art historical context. Students will practice voicing their attitudes, opinions and conclusions about the topics discussed in seminar and gain more confidence talking about their own practice within larger issues of history, society, and culture outside of the art world. Scheduled concurrently with other sections of junior seminar, faculty and students will have the opportunity to meet as a larger group when appropriate. Students outside of the fine arts disciplines may take this class as a studio elective. Major requirement: 3 credits/semester; 6 hours/week.
