Courses: Art 199AE SS: The Artist Experience and CG 100 Visualizing College Success

Take courses together—meet new friends, learn more deeply…

Offered Fall Term Only

DESCRIPTION:
What does it take to be an artist or art professional in the applied arts?  What skills do you need to develop in the studio classroom and in your life as a professional artist?  What are the obstacles that can interfere with success as an art student or art professional?  How have professional artists addressed these issues in their own life and work?  How can you develop confidence in your own creativity and artistic abilities?  How can you deal with artists block?  If you are considering majoring in the fine or applied arts, this 4-credit learning community will help you address these questions. 

In this 4-credit learning community, you will meet a variety of faculty and professional artists in the fields of fine art, graphic design, multi media and other applied arts, who will introduce their work first hand.  These artists and professionals will discuss how they have dealt with some of the issues inherent in being a professional artist. CG100, Visualizing College Success, is designed with artists in mind: you will use an experiential format, including journaling and art making, to explore common barriers to success, increase self-awareness, and improve self-management skills as they apply to the academic and professional arenas of art making, creativity, and beyond.
