Individual studio experiences in weaving, textile construction, non-loom fiber, and material studies offer the advanced student an opportunity to pursue interests in complex two- and three-dimensional forms. The course allows the student to enrich their skills in weaving and textiles techniques using advanced equipment, while allowing them to concentrate in areas of special interest. Production problems for the professional fiber artist are considered. Students are expected to fulfill all the course requirements assigned in relationship to the number of credit hours earned. This course is repeatable up to six (6) times. Students are expected to set higher goals and achieve a higher level of sophistication in successive levels of this Studio course. Students will develop their personal imagery, critical and creative capabilities, and technical skills through the creation of finished works of art. They will also increase their knowledge of relevant processes and techniques, while developing their understanding of contemporary and historical weaving and textiles movements. At the more advanced levels of Studio, students will increasingly be expected to pursue opportunities to exhibit their work through juried exhibitions and on-campus venues. A minimum of 3 hours of work outside of class is required per week.
