Investigation Workbook (IW):
The purpose of the Investigation Workbook is to encourage adventurous and critical personal investigation. It will take the form of a working journal, containing both visual and verbal information, including records of exhibitions visited, consideration of the visual arts of other cultures and the historical context of artworks being studied, as well as references to the student’s own studio practice. Details about the IW will be discussed thoroughly in class. It is about working through a process from one stage to the next and understanding the creative journey.
DUE DATES/DEADLINES/ HOMEWORK
Sketchbook Assignments: consist of taking assigned research and incorporating it into your own personal perspective. As you become more comfortable with the assignments and begin to demonstrate your research and investigation skills you will then begin to be more independent in your experimentation with materials and investigation.
1. You are required to complete at least 4-5 pages every 2 week. You may always complete more, but make sure they are rich with information, visuals and text.
2. Have at least the required number of media and forms, showing a range of skill, experimentation, manipulation and technical skill.
3. Make sure you are showing how ideas are formed and developed.
4. Research and investigation on artist, culture, history, society and YOU!!
HOMEWORK is an intregal part of the experimentation and exploration process; therefore you will work outside of class to complete your assignments and be ready for inclass critiques and duedates.
FINAL ARTWORKS
Final artwork will be done mostly in class, but there will be instances where you will need to be working outside of class. Please be respectful of due dates. It is a small class and will really hurt the integrity of the critique process if you or your work is not present (and complete)!!!
Expectation:
In your first year, you will be expected to develop a familiarity and fluency with a variety of mediums. It is required that all that you do is saved and stored in a safe and appropriate place. A sketchbook, portfolio or box will be important to keep yourself organized. In addition, you will be required to develop a series of studio work that shows your development and understanding of the above criteria. We will also partake in a variety of critique methods. There will be a few field trips and art walks that are planned for the year, they may or may not fall on a class day, but it is very important that you make every effort to attend.
Our goal is to complete at least 1 studio work per month and weekly sketchbook assignments.
