This course seeks to provide students with a model of the creative process, an understanding of how the major program is interrelated and is integrated in practice in their personal artwork. Students identify a personal style through the development of a cohesive body of work. Specific course requirements will vary depending on the studio area but, in general, emphasis is on an individualized studio project, developed in consultation with the instructor, a written paper, and an artist146s statement. The capstone course is a repeatable-for-credit studio course specially renamed with the capstone course number and designation. Many upper-level studio courses are repeatable and are so indicated in the course offerings listed previously. ART 490 meets on the same schedule as the repeatable course. It is the student146s responsibility to select a repeatable course as a capstone and to identify themselves to the instructor at the beginning of the term. Students register for the capstone course with an independent study course form using the capstone course number and the repeatable course title, e.g.: ART 490 Advanced Painting. ART 490 and 491 are usually taken in the same term. Note that field experiences, credit earned for experiential learning portfolio components, and ART 350, 492, or 468 may not serve as a capstone course. Fall Term, Spring Term.
