y. Students learn to engage in discussion and group-critiques as part of their professional preparation and as an integral way of participating in and benefiting from a community of shared inquiry.

Art practice majors can select from courses at the upper-division level in a variety of art practices including painting, film/video, design, drawing, photography, sculpture, and new media. These upper-division classes, while allowing for further individual exploration, place higher standards on the conceptualization and execution of the student?s artistic production. In their senior year, Art Practice majors mount a solo exhibition of a coherent body of work for the thesis project under the supervision of a department faculty member.
