University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

During the course, students will expand their understanding of contemporary art and professional practices. They will accomplish this by undertaking and completing the project described below, in class discussions, writing assignments, demonstrations, and a practicum project. Each student will research a contemporary artist from a continuously updated list and make a presentation on them to the class. The purpose of doing this project is to expand their knowledge of contemporary art and to further develop their range of understanding of critical and creative thinking. The presentation is not be merely a report but a creative piece of thinking/research/analysis. The presentation must make use of projected illustrations. Presenters follow their presentations by leading a class discussion on their artist. The best way to facilitate this is to prepare a few "loaded" questions about the artist's work. Presentations and discussions on each artist should last approximately 20 and 10 minutes respectively. There is also a practicum component to the course. The purpose of this is to familiarize students with the various practical applications of their art education and includes presentations on such topics as the Ohio Arts Council.
