AR460 Senior Seminar3 credit(s) This seminar is writing intensive and focuses on professional practices, ethics, and contemporary trends in the arts. The seminar also involves the production of independent works in the art major’s primary area of concentration. The hanging of a graduation exhibit in the senior year is required of all art majors within the studio art track, and a presentation (poster session, field project, or comparable exhibit) for students within the graphic design track.
A seminar is, by definition, a select group of students associated for special study under the guidance of a professor. While I will lecture from time to time in order to give you important information on various aspects of the artist in society, the focus of the course will be on dialogue. Their will be many opportunities, from small group discussions to brief reports to the final project, for you to enter into the dialogue. This course will cover topics such as current art trends, professional ethics, developing an artist’s statement, exhibition techniques and opportunities, etc. The class will make several field trips to regional galleries and museums, and you will be responsible for participating in these field experiences.
