Junior Studio is an interdisciplinary studio based course designed for advanced Art Studio majors. This course focuses primarily on the idea of "practice" and offers students a supportive and critical environment to question the frameworks and processes they've adopted to approach art making. The class is structured to think through two main questions: What ideas, routines, and processes do you already practice in your life naturally? How can your individual artistic practices be structured to cater to those ideas, routines, and processes? This class plays in the grey areas between the ideas and mediums at our disposal. The goal is not to create proficient technicians of any one medium over the course of the semester but rather to help students feel more at home within the ways they approach their own work focusing on ideas, how we arrive at those ideas, and how those ideas can then be actualized and communicated. Junior studio aims to "open the medium" as Darby English has spoken about -- intentionally stretching, challenging, and muddying the boundaries around the mediums. This takes place through a range of assignments, readings, and projects pushing students to develop more intimate relationships between their practices and their output. To balance that introspection, the course will welcome a wide array of contemporary practitioners through presentation and in-class visits to expose students to different models of working within and outside of art. |
