ARTS 499 - Senior Project: Seminar

Institution:

Georgetown University

Subject:

Description:

The Senior Project seminar is a three-credit course offered in the fall semester as a requirement for graduating majors in studio art. This course, co-taught by an artist and an art historian, is designed to help prepare you to enter the professional art world. Professor Bowling: Are there ever really any new ideas? As artists you stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is important to be well versed in contemporary art history. Tuesday mornings this semester you will hear art historical lectures covering works dated just after WWII, continuing up to the present day. The second half of our class will be active and lively discussion based on the assigned reading. To complement our lectures, we will visit several area museums with contemporary art collections. It is my hope that after this class, when someone refers to something as "reminiscent of Jasper Johns" or "suggestive of Fried's notion of objecthood" you don't have to panic and try to pretend you know what that means, but instead dazzle with your informed response! Professor Kehoss: Art can be a career. This semester, you will acquire the skills needed to begin. Whether your goal is to attend graduate school, become a full time studio artist, or pursue your art part time, this class will help you negotiate the practical side of being an artist. Workshops, discussions, demonstrations, slide presentations, and guest lectures will comprise our Thursday meetings.
