New Learning Context. Three to twelve semester hours. For Students in the M.F.A. Program there are two options to this course. Both are offered in order to expand upon the scope of choices, influences and challenges available in a single art department. In both options the student is to encounter and experiment with new ideas and methods within a new context. Option I: Semester Away- student may (1) pursue advanced, graduate level work in a school other than A&M-Commerce, (2) live in an environment that is unique compared to the student's background or (3) work with an accomplished professional artist. Option II: Planned Program Alternative- student pursues advanced, graduate level work in a manner comparable to Option I, but without the necessity for moving to another local. This option is only for students whose personal, marital or economic conditions emphatically dictate an alternative approach. To exercise either option, the student must submit and receive approval from the advisory committee and department head of a proposal that offers significant creative, intellectual and cultural growth, provides unique contextual experiences and is in keeping with high professional standards. An example of Option II would include a planned sequence of regular visits to artists' studios in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, with development of appropriate documentation (photographs, slides, interview tapes, notes) indicating the depth of investigations in respect to the development and nature of each artist's work. The student's own work produced within the scope of this option is expected to mature in a manner that is responsive to the contextual investigations. For both of the above options, the student is required to submit a report at the beginning of the next regular term of study as the final stage in the completion of the course. The report is to contain works produced, a narrative description and related documentation (slides, interview tapes, photographs, notes or other materials). Student may register for twelve concurrent semester hours during a regular term, and a maximum of eight concurrent semester hours during a summer term.%
