2D Mixed Media is a course that demands experimentation. Each exercise will require the overlaying of at least two mutually compatible mediums to obtain visual effects that are impossible to achieve with a single medium. Further, non-traditional supports for each assignment will enhance the artwork of every student and introduce them to the many possibilities available to contemporary artists.

JUNIOR SEMINAR (AR3090)

The Fine Arts Junior Seminar: concentrates on problems of contemporary art and how the student’s work relates to that. The seminar will be a study of the current art galleries, journals and online resources. Visits to galleries, museums and artists’ studios will be essential components as well as guest speakers, artists and professionals in the field. Class discussions should include analysis of contemporary art themes with each student expected to support their conclusions citing critical writings on art and statements and work of contemporary artists. Students are responsible to come to class prepared, having read the required reading and ready to discuss the material. Class participation is essential and will be taken into account for the final grade.

The student puts together a dossier of all of his/her works, along with an artist’s statement, and makes a presentation, to the panel of professors. It should include the original work, plus a professional looking catalogue of photographs that could be presented to a gallery. The student should be prepared to answer questions from the panel defending their work.
