This third year course offers the opportunity for students to develop
their practice within the discourse of contemporary and historical art
discourse. Students will acquire a critical vocabulary for understanding
their own trajectories in dialogue with the context and history of art,
through group critiques, discussions of pertinent writings, and
individual and group presentations of research on a variety of subjects
related to their area of practice. A Dialogues course is an
investigation of artistic practice premised on a student's own interest
to situate their work in a broader discourse and professional realm.
They will learn skills related to completing projects, making
presentations, speaking in public, leading discussions, writing, and
integrating research and knowledge within their creative practice.
Weekly meetings will allow for critiques of self-directed studio
projects, discussion of assigned readings, and presentations of research
projects.
