Intermediate Projects (PAI-0050)

Fall 2025 · PAI 0050 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Moving from beginning courses (where work is made in response to assignments) to developing a body of work with personal vision and expression is an important step in developing as a student and artist. This one-period course prepares students to move into the intermediate and advanced levels of instruction where personal commitment, vision, and curiosity are driving the work. Slide lectures, readings, discussions, group and individual critiques help students identify subjects they care passionately about and want to explore through paint and related media. Class time is divided between these activities with emphasis on developing a strong working community through critique. Students should be prepared to spend a good deal of time working individually outside of class. Though this course is offered in the Painting Area, it is open to students wishing to work in other media as well. Non-SMFA students will receive a letter grade.
