Handbook

Studio Art Practice 2 is the second in a sequence of six core courses that enables you to develop your independent artistic practice. This course builds on Studio Art Practice 1, encouraging you to cultivate your individual creative interests through a series of structured studio classes that connect with the making facilities on campus. This course pays particular attention to the ways that rules, systems, and constraints can allow artists to generate new ideas and artworks. Throughout the course, you are also provided opportunities to develop your artistic vocabularies, and to work in group environments to build peer-to-peer skills. The weekly topics incorporate diverse examples that further help you to develop connections between materials, processes, and ideas, and your understandings of social and cultural contexts for art. Field trips, making activities, and a combination of collaborative and individual tasks, also enable you to explore different ways of working in creative contexts.
