| Description | This professional practice course prepares
students for further professional and educational
opportunities. Students gain
practical and critical, conceptual, and
theoretical skills. Topics include project
management, business formations, the
fundamentals of proposals and contracts,
intellectual property and the complexities of
authorship, budgets and financial
administration, the market planning process within
the private and public sectors, and the social
role of the artist or designer.
Larger societal constructs are examined as well as
assumptions about the nature of professional
practice research and
discourse. The goal is to provide students with
the knowledge and skills to enter the cultural or
design sectors with assurance,
awareness and integrity. Through faculty and guest
presentations, individual and group research
projects, students learn to
identify the ways in which the artists and
designers respond to their cultural, social, and
economic contexts. |
