This senior course allows students in their final year of study to work with peers and faculty to plan and execute a graduation project, prepare a portfolio and written artist statements, as well as to undertake research to support their emerging practice. Students will participate in presentations, critiques and discussions of ongoing, self-directed projects as well as preparing their own bodies of work for art-based and/or applied presentation. Students may substitute VAST-400 Senior Studio or VAST-420 Visual Arts Thematic II for PHOT-400 Senior Photo Practice.
