Methods and Context II (Florence)

3 units

Required for BFA in Art majors. This team-taught course expands on methodologies encountered in Methods and Contexts I and related courses. Students are encouraged to take charge of their artistic process through faculty-supported and self-directed creative investigation. Through lectures, class discussions and critiques, students critically engage the evolving manner in which visual culture is produced and distributed. Students learn how to best present their work and incorporate discourse inherent to and generated by their practice. The goal of this course is to ensure a strong Capstone experience by helping students develop their artistic position within the public realm and contemporary contexts.
