6 credits Senior Fine Arts Seminar I & II is a year long major program of independent studio work. Students may choose to concentrate in animation, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture or self-directed study. The Senior Seminar Program requires and fosters a high degree of self-discipline, seriousness and artistic maturity as each student prepares a substantial body of work under the guidance of seminar instructors and faculty advisors. A faculty committee meets with each student over the course of the semester to discuss the student's work and progress in the program. Each Senior Seminar participant works independently in a designated studio space and produces a coherent body of artwork by the end of the academic year. Senior Fine Arts Seminar I and II are six?credit courses that meet twice a week. The program consists of three components. The first addresses the development of critical awareness through discussions of assigned readings with an art historian specializing in contemporary art. The second component involves studio based group interactions that often include the participation of a visiting artist. In conjunction with these interactions, each student works closely with a faculty advisor throughout their senior year. Senior Fine Arts Seminar participants are expected to work intensively in their studios beyond the required weekly meetings to successfully complete the program and receive credit. At the conclusion of the senior year, each student presents a comprehensive body of work in a group thesis exhibition. Senior work is also exhibited to the public in a graduation exhibition. Prerequisites: See Senior Program Entrance Criteria Fulfills: Senior Program Requirement for BFA Students (Concentrating in Animation, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture or Self-Directed)
