Description

Advanced seminar for studio art majors in any concentration. Working independently, but in close consultation with the instructor and interaction with the class peer group, the student will prepare a cohesive and mature body of work to be presented in a group exhibition in the University Gallery and to a committee with oral and written support to be considered for honors. This work should demonstrate original thinking and a high level of technical mastery.
