AR 433

This is a 15-week course that supports self-directed research and writing, resulting in an extended written thesis at the end of the semester. Students will develop a set of ideas, terms, contexts, and references that inform and contextualize their creative practice(s) and augment their knowledge of art history and theory through independent research. Critical + Contextual Studies faculty and library faculty work as a team to produce an immersive research and writing experience. Students will work with both informal and formal art-related genres, share research methods and challenges, and provide peer feedback on written drafts and presentations.
