Students study critical theory from Modern and Postmodern periods as it relates to fine art in historical and contemporary contexts. Students read philosophical and aesthetics texts from the nineteenth century to the present, on which they conduct written and verbal analyses. Students are required to undertake research on specific critical theory texts and to direct classroom discussion in an appraisal of key philosophical concepts. Students are expected to develop links between the material studied in this seminar with their own studio practice as they prepare for their verbal presentation for first year Candidacy Review and in the writing of their final year Thesis. They demonstrate their grasp of these links through a final essay, through the design of their own critical theory syllabus, and through formal in-class presentations. This course addresses the need for young artists to be aware of current ideas informing the practice of contemporary art. It is designed to ensure that graduate students acquire the ability to analyze challenging philosophical and aesthetic concepts and to write and speak cogently about the relationship of such ideas to contemporary fine art practice.

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.
