Description:

This is a studio course required of all fine art graduates taken each semester. Graduates representing all fine art disciplines will meet to critique one another's work. Emphasis is on evaluating the success of the students' studio practice in relation to their intentions and to related examples of contemporary artwork. Critical thinking and communication skills are emphasized through intensive discussions amongst faculty and students. This course serves as the studio counterpart to the Graduate Critical Theory Seminar by enabling students to apply philosophical and aesthetic concepts to the discussion of each others' work. This studio course brings students of all fine art disciplines together for discussion of their work. It addresses the ongoing need for young artists to be able to understand the work of other disciplines and become versatile discussants of all art mediums if they are to be successful after graduation. Additionally this course provides a platform for developing cross-disciplinary initiatives that would diversify a student's practice. Embedded in the course pedagogy is evaluation of current debates concerning art critique and graduate education methodologies.
