ArtCredits
Graduate level Sculpture and three-dimensional studies studio course focusing on a personal aesthetic expression. May be repeated.
Graduate-level exploration of installation art, focusing on the development of a contemporary and personal voice. Students will learn how to create dimensional works that relate to specific architectural environments. A variety of material and conceptual approaches will be explored with an emphasis on non-traditional materials and non-technical processes. Previous sculpture experience is not necessary. Students will become aware of a diverse array of artists working within the field of installation.
Students will learn to present their work professionally and to articulate their ideas in oral and written formats. Analysis and contextualization of work in relation to contemporary art and art history will be emphasized. Course should be taken during the second semester of graduate study.
- Areas of Interest:
- Video, Technology, and Communications
- Programs:
Field experience in professional setting relating to the specialization: graphic design, museum or arts administration, etc.
Required of all candidates of the MA degree, this course is culmination of the previous sequential graduate studio blocks and reviews. Concepts developed will result in a body of work that constitutes the graduate exhibition or presentation. An oral defense of the ideas presented in the exhibition or presentation is required. Documentation will be submitted by the MA candidate and will become part of the Department of Creative Arts files. The candidate will also create and submit appropriate announcements, posters, and descriptions for public relations.
