Program Requirements and Certificate Criteria
To be eligible for a certificate, students must remain actively enrolled for the full duration of the two-year program. This includes continuous participation in consecutive cohort sessions and intensive marathon workshops.
Measurable Goals and Expectations:
Artistic Development:
By the end of the program, participants should show a distinct personal sense of plasticity—the ability to manipulate form, color, and space with confidence and intentionality.
Historical and Critical Context:
Students are expected to develop a working knowledge of art history, with a focus on movements, figures, and ideas relevant to their own practice.
They should be able to verbally articulate their artistic intent and contextualize their work within historical and contemporary frameworks. This will be assessed through discussions during critiques.
Critique and Exhibition Standards:
There will be three critiques/assessments spread out over a period of two years. The critiques will involve at least three other artists and are an opportunity to discuss how successfully the student’s intentions are being communicated in their work.
A minimum of 70% of works included in final critiques and exhibitions must be created outside of regular class hours, demonstrating independent initiative and self-directed practice.
