Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0299 - Div. II Projects: Visual Arts

This course will provide an opportunity for Division II students in film, video, photography and related media who wish to pursue their own work to create at least one completed new project for inclusion in the Division II portfolio. We will examine approaches to developing, creating and realizing new works. Each student will be required to present their work to the group several times during the semester. The members of the class will provide critical, technical and production support for one another. Practical workshops will be offered where necessary. However, prior to joining the class, students must have some level of mastery over their medium as well as course evaluations in prerequisite areas. Readings, screenings, workshops and museum/gallery/studio visits, which address conceptual approaches, working methods, and specific problems faced by class members in developing the works-in-progress, will contribute to the overall experience of the class. All of these activities, including active verbal contributions to all sessions, are required of each student under the guiding principle that tracking each other's intellectual and creative process will help each person develop their respective project. This course provides a structured context in which to do independent work at the Division II-level. Instructor Permission required.

Multiple Cultural Perspectives Independent Work Lab Fee: $65 In this course students are expected to spend 8-10 hours weekly on preparation and work outside of class time.
