Students also examine historically significant art and information about the function of printed matter in society and discuss the work of participants and invited guests. The seminar also examines career options and develops a resource network for jobs and exhibition opportunities. Permission of the instructor is required for undergraduate students. This open forum investigates contemporary performance issues as they apply to the student's work. Through the forum, we seek to establish a performance community and address thesis projects.
Students have the opportunity to help select and meet with visiting performance artists.
This course is designed for graduate students whose focus has been primarily invested in painting or other particular traditional procedures. The course will discuss the students' particular problems with enacting their plans, the variety of options available, their limitations, the costs, as well as the conceptual framework in which these inter-media connections occur. This course explores contemporary strategies for documenting work, with emphasis on digital video, multimedia, and web-based methods. Each student identifies one or more of their own works as a case study and framework for their participation. Students are guided through a series of decisions about how best to describe and present the work, including the integration of textual, sound and visual materials within digital media formats.
