| 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.
