    Concurrent Prerequisite(s) ARTS 126 , ARTS 127 , and ARTH 165  

    The Writing Intensive components in the Studio Concepts course are designed to give students experience writing within the field of visual art. Specific assignments include written artist statements, short narratives for the purpose of planning and describing upcoming projects, and written critiques and evaluations of peer work. For these writing assignments, students will be required to effectively bring together and utilize concepts and vocabulary introduced in prerequisite and corequisite courses. Studio Concepts will provide students with practical writing skills in critical activities such as how to create an effective artist’s statement, an ability studio artists need as they prepare for exhibitions and other professional events. The capacity to use writing to plan specific projects is also a critical skill; professional artists frequently apply for exhibitions, projects, and grants for which clearly written documents are essential to success. Finally, being able to write thoughtful and effective critiques of visual work is key to an artist’s ability to analyze his or her own work and is important if an individual is to grow and develop effectively as an artist.
