| This course will give students an opportunity to identify and focus on a particular issue or issues found within the broad
scope of different approaches to contemporary art. Thematic projects may include an examination that repositions the artist
as curator, collector, documentarian, researcher, activist, historian, etc. Students will be encouraged to consider various
forms or a combination of different disciplines that reflect the diversity by which artists view their own production in relation
to other forms of production in society. One self-directed project based on the students’ own research and in close consultation
with the instruction will give the student a solid grounding on how to pursue more focused independent projects.

| SART*4880 Extended Practices IV W (0-6) [1.00] |
| In this course, students produce two self-directed projects centered on their own research, in close consultation with the
instructor. Students will engage in professional activities common to the practicing artist such that support their production
such as presentations, writing proposals for grants and composing an artist statement. In this course students will begin
to focus more closely on finding ways to theorize their production. Articulating their concerns and area of research through
writing and speech to different audiences can provide an effective way to deepen the experience of the work.

and peril of constant connection. Students participate in and create social media projects, app development, the Internet
of Things (IoT) and experiment with attention restorative theories.
