Post Baccalaureate Seminar (SMFA-0191)

Spring 2024 · SMFA 0191 · Tufts University · 2 credits · Undergraduate

The Seminar is a mandatory core component of the curriculum for post-baccalaureate students, who take it both fall and spring semesters. Content is determined by the needs of the class and changes from fall to spring. The seminar includes professional presentations, student presentations, directed group discussions and writing projects, critiques of work, and visits to museums, galleries, collections, and other sites. We discuss the work and ideas of class members in the context of broad issues such as the role and purpose of art making, the practice of art as a career, and the perspectives currently under discussion in art criticism and theory. Emphasis is on group collaboration and peer support for individual artistic development. To keep discussion groups small, faculty lead separate seminar sections. (These groups occasionally hold meetings together.) Be ready to talk at the first class about your ideas and needs in your artwork, school, and prospective career, so that we can plan the semester's content.
