This course is designed to assist Art Studio majors in developing practical writing and presentation skills needed to maintain a successful, professional practice in the visual arts. Students are required to write in a variety of formats that are standard in the field of art studio. The course will include developing artist and biographical statements, resumes, grant/exhibition proposals and/or reviews, as well as a research paper on a topic of interest in contemporary art. Students will also prepare a digital portfolio emphasizing presentation and documentation skills about a student's own research. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
