GRAD682 Studio III: Mentor 4cr

Working one-on-one with a locally-based artist-mentor, students develop their studio practice over the semester, building on feedback gleaned in the January and summer residencies. Students meet with their mentor 5 times over the semester, for in-depth discussion and critique about the formal and conceptual aspects of their work. Context, site, and audience are considered as students experiment with ways to install and present their work. The course also incorporates two remote check-in and discussion sessions with core faculty and/or program coordinators. Students begin this course by creating a detailed studio study plan, which establishes goals for the work. They conclude the semester with a written studio study reflection that examines the progression of the work and thinking over the semester, noting how the study may have diverted from the original plan.
