Grad Project Supervision

Course Description

The primary objective is to guide and assist the student in accomplishing their final thesis exhibition and thesis paper. Emphasis will be on the evolution of the student’s personal vision and the development of the student’s individual language to carry their vision. In order to better understand their own practice, students will be encouraged to engage in dialogue with methods, issues and preoccupations within contemporary art During this process students will complete a comprehensive artist’s statement by the end of their first year, which will lead to an abstract of their final thesis statement in the fall of their second year. Emphasis throughout the project supervision process will be on studio practice and regular discussions during scheduled and impromptu meetings, as well as mandatory advisory committee meetings during which we carefully track the progress of the student’s evolving thesis work. At the graduate level, a student’s understanding of various contexts and implications in contemporary art making is essential and contributes to creating an engaged critical awareness.
