CRFT 311 Junior Studio II

College of Art, Media & Design School of Art

3 credits 90.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course

Students continue their study of materiality and phenomenology while considering function and utility, audience and culture, aesthetics and formal issues. They become increasingly articulate about their work, how it is seen and how it is constructed. Students strictly adhere to a timeline and continue to develop a personal voice within the constraints of a particular assignment. Assignments augment each student’s regular studio practice with research and writing, readings, trips to galleries, studios and museums, visiting artists, lectures and critiques. Ideas about future possibilities include internships, graduate study, travel, artist’s grants and residencies. While class time is primarily content-oriented and critique-based, students are expected to work in studios both in and out of class time, applying those skills and concepts gained in media specific coursework to assignments in the Commons. Junior Studio II is a continuation of Junior Studio I; students must have earned a grade of C or better in Junior Studio I to continue to Junior Studio II.
