ART 411 Senior Art Seminar
This capstone course for the art major provides an overview of the contemporary art world and professional opportunities. As an important co-curricular experiential component, students visit contemporary cultural exhibitions and formulate critical written responses to the work. Students select a project that upon conclusion will demonstrate proficiency in one of the areas of concentration: graphic design, photography or studio art and participate in a group senior thesis exhibition. Some of the topics of special concern are funding for the arts, legal issues, marketing strategies, copyright and intellectual property. Weekly lectures and workshops will be augmented by expert guest speakers. In the exploration of these topics students develop an action plan to further their creative careers in the personal and professional realm and will include researching profit and non-profit venues and graduate programs.
