ART265

This capstone course offers an intensive studio experience for personal development and artistic growth, culminating in a final semester-end exhibition. The focus on both group critiques and detailed self-analysis of personal artwork will strengthen and build valuable character that is necessary for continued success. This class will also provide an in-depth building of students transfer and/or personal portfolio in preparation for the next stage chosen. Collectively these elements will cultivate an aesthetic awareness of creative issues to further the knowledge and understanding of the artistic career path. Students gain knowledge of professional practices by visiting galleries, museums, and artists' studios; speaking with artists, art dealers, art critics, and museum staff; and researching and writing about these experiences.
