This is the first of a two-part seminar class surveying ideas about art practice from the last two hundred and fifty years. This first seminar addresses concepts current between 1750 and 1918. These dates open with the Enlightenment and conclude with the end of the First World War, and primarily concern the cultural periods known as Modern, Modernity, and Modernism. The class will require students to evaluate concepts like beauty, revolution, and avant-garde in relation to the texts in which such terms originate. Such concepts will also be considered in relation to works of art, literature, and historical events of the time. Students will gain a fuller understanding of the cultural periods under review in this seminar. Lectures and discussions will be reviewing these concepts in relation to broader themes like Self, Form, and Beauty, that remain as relevant to contemporary art as they have been for historical work. Because this class presupposes continuity between Freshman and Sophomore seminars, students will be expected in this seminar to deepen their understanding of any such themes that may have been introduced in the first year.

Second year students who were selected by foundations faculty for outstanding and challenging artwork in their first year will undertake a critical self evaluation of their artistic methods. In short this course is designed to enable students to combine strongly conceptual art practices with the aesthetic in an interdisciplinary studio context. The course culminates in an exhibition of visual research and an online journal produced as a collaborative semester-long project. Establishing a critically informed studio research practice begins with contextualization of your artistic product. This course focuses on utilizing a broad spectrum of research methods to elevate and inform your studio work into historical context and build upon critical contemporary artistic theory. By focusing our visual research on the concepts of "database," and "liquid archive" we attempt to align and continually modify our approach to visual learning. This course is designed to mirror trends in contemporary art practice. A final exhibition will be a distillation of the visual archive generated by each student. Additionally students will collaborate on an online visual research journal showcasing their collected research.

Intermediate Drawing constitutes a bridge between Basic Drawing experiences and Advanced Drawing for the Fine Arts Student. The goal of this course through lecture and lab is to strengthen each student's research methods n preparation for executing drawings as complete works of art; and a broadening of each student's thematic options through systematic investigations of non-traditional subject matter. Regularized lectures in tandem with extensive resource materials/field trips will establish a working definition of a subject matter (e.g., climatic and geological events; microbiological and medical phenomena; flora and fauna morphologies). Units of study will be accompanied by presentations of historical and contemporary artistic applications within each subject area. Demonstrations include visualization methodologies at each step in transforming collected data into a unified and original aesthetic statement.
