GRAD684 Seminar I 2cr

Seminar I introduces students to the culture and expectations of the MFA program in this once-weekly course. Over their two years and final summer in the program, students are asked to absorb and synthesize what they have gleaned from their academic coursework as well as from diverse feedback gained in critique and dialogue with mentors, faculty, and visiting artists. The first seminar introduces students to a range of creative and conceptual strategies designed to guide them in the process of assimilation as related to the development of their studio work and thinking. In addition, students engage in collaborative processes and projects, forging connections between a multiplicity of ideas and tactics. Professional practice discussions are introduced in the first seminar and sustained throughout the program.
