3.00 Credits
In this course, we will look at the artistic process as research and research as part of the artistic process. The artist uses a primary art practice along with at least two other art practices to both develop and explore the questions that drive their MFA work. The conversation among the art practices provides depth and breath to the inquiry. This course will look at research as informing the art and in "arting" the idea. We will readtexts about art making, have rich discussion of creative process and discuss artistic processes as research into materials, ourselves, community, politics, and art. Students will show/share their MFA project work, receiving support and feedback from peers who serve as witness to each other's work.

Students will read widely in the field of Aesthetics (from Sappho and Plato to artists and aestheticians in the current artistic discourse) and critically reflect on art (as a cultural construct and a personal endeavor). Students will consider what ideas, principles, and preconceptions underlie the aesthetic values of certain writers and how these compare to their own values; and they will be able to communicate some aesthetic points of view through writing and presentations. Students will demonstrate through discussion and critical reflections an understanding of historical and contemporary issues in Aesthetics in ways that incorporate values of social use, spirituality, empathy, social change, beauty, and personal transformation, and will articulate the Aesthetic lens through which they view art.

Building on work from The Business of Art, the objective in Production and Marketing is to prepare the student-artist to put their work out into the world. Students will be engaged in every aspect from fundraising to marketing to producing an arts event. We will be acquiring skills in all areas of artistic production and marketing, including the following: creating a budget, writing a fundraising letter, booking space, hiring crew, writing a press release, developing a marketing plan, and collaborating with other artists. Students are expected to investigate their own field of interest and to assess the unique needs of that genre (e.g., students may investigate the publishing or recording industry; they may examine the needs and demands of gallery showings or theater production). Students may also get assistance in creating portfolios, résumés, curriculumvitae, artist statement, web design, and portfolio in this class.

After doing a deep investigation of essential questions in the philosophy of art, students will formulate and express their own aesthetic values, defining themselves as artists and their place in the aesthetic discourse. We will use the course reader and text as well as our own resources to ask questions pertinent to students' hopes and expectations about their art. They will articulate in writing their own philosophy and where they fit into the larger context. We will emphasize a consideration of the artist's role in creating a just, sacred, and sustainable community.
