FAR 310 - SENIOR SEMINAR

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Fine Arts

Description:

'Senior Thesis' is a capstone course in which students will generate an art idea or thesis that will be pursued in their medium or media of choice. Students will build on previous years of coursework in a variety of media and research and develop a list of influential artists and others (writers, filmmakers, etc.) whose work will guide their own ideas and aspirations. The course will require students' immersion in this idea, as they generate sketches, produce preliminary and revised studio work, and create a plan for a year-long project that culminates in the senior exhibition. Through critiques and written analysis, they will utilize their community of peers to assess their accomplishment of goals and will work to document and disseminate their progress using social media. In addition, they will refine their resumes and websites, seek exhibition opportunities on and off campus, explore art residencies and other opportunities for artists that constitute professional engagement with our field. This course is designed to reinforce and punctuate the development of individual studio practices and professional skills acquired in the prerequisite courses FAR 110 and FAR 210.
