Description
The fine arts studio MFA explores the role of contemporary art through painting, printmaking, sculpture, and expanded forms. The program is committed to collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches both within the four major fine arts areas of study (painting, printmaking, sculpture, or expanded forms) and the entire College of Art and Design. The curriculum is a rigorous two-year program comprised of major studio courses, studio electives (such as glass, ceramics, film, and photography), theory and research seminars, and thesis credits. The program’s structure allows for personal growth, experimentation, collaboration, and unique, non-discipline-specific results to occur in the thesis, which is a public exhibition of the student's work. Courses are meant to concentrate on creative visual work coupled with consideration to making and sustaining a dialogue.
