| Course Contents | Studio Practice 1 is the core course and a graduate major requirement of the program. It is designed as an advanced critique course. Each student is provided with a studio where they are expected to spend many hours a day working and producing original, advanced work. Studios are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Faculty staff has 40 - 60 minutes studio visits once a week to instruct and support students, and evaluate critically students’ work through discussions on issues and concerns in contemporary art related to each student’s work. At the beginning of the semester students give a presentation of their up to date work. Once a month, an artist, art historian or critic will be invited to give keynote lectures and/or take part in studio visits. This course also includes group critiques that take place once a month during the semester. The last week of the semester, open studios take place and students are expected to give a presentation of their work in progress for critique and evaluation. | ||||||||

| Planned learning activities and teaching methods | Studio Practice course focuses on independent studio work in traditional and emerging media of fine art. The course is delivered through weekly studio visits, individual and group discussions and critiques on students’ personal work (research and visual practice) in relation to various disciplinary histories and conventions in the contemporary art world. This will encourage students to work with a more diverse and developed visual experimentation. An essential part of the teaching methodology is the presentations by visiting lecturers offered to students during the semester on issues related to different Arts, Humanities and Sciences. | ||||||||
