Overview:
This class, co-taught this summer with Matt Madden, will allow self motivated students to meet, share, critique, have their work workshopped, analyzed and critiqued by other students and two seasoned professional artists and teachers. Matt and I create a structured group environment, where we examine past work and current progress and assess accordingly, then help make plans and goals for the duration of the class. We'll meet a total of 3 times for critique, lecture (including at least one guest lecturer) and assistance on your work in progress. For the self-motivated, but designed to foster the most productive environment for you and your project.
Suggested Readings:
