Course Description
Art 500 is a yearlong commitment and students are expected to complete the entire year. This course will be open to Uppers and Seniors. The year of study in advanced art will be a progressive involvement for students. It will begin with a group studio experience but will encourage students to evolve and develop a focus in one discipline, culminating with an independent project at the end of the year. In the fall term, students will have the opportunity to study broadly at an advanced level while an assortment of media and techniques will be explored. Students can use this opportunity to develop or enhance their art portfolios. In the winter term, students will have the opportunity to focus on specific media and work in collaboration with the AP instructor as well as an instructor from a chosen discipline through participation in a 300/400-level course. In the spring term, students will be expected to work on supervised independent projects that are either discipline- specific or cross-disciplinary in nature. Two or three seminars a term, with invited guest speakers, in addition to frequent visits to the Addison Gallery, will augment the course. Attendance at an evening lab, once a week, will be expected. Prerequisite: diploma requirement in art and at least one elective art course beyond.
