Handbook

Studio Art Practice 5 is the fifth in a sequence of six core courses that enables you to develop your independent artistic practice throughout the BFA program. This course builds on Studio Art Practice 1-4, and provides opportunities for you to develop your emerging practice by critically reflecting on your creative journey so far, and planning ahead for the future. With greater emphasis on self-initiated practice, the weekly topics and examples are responsive to the individual and collective needs of the class. Structured and semi-structured studio classes allow you to focus on your specific areas of interest, while also connected with other students in a peer-to-peer studio environment. You are expected to regularly contribute to and lead class discussions and group critiques so as to build the collegiate and critically-engaged studio environment. Professional contexts and standards are also scaffolded into the course so as to help prepare you for future pathways.
