Mission to Outcomes

Following is a general statement that came out of our discussions from a year ago.
"The Certificate in Fine Art provides participants a structured path of studio arts study. Contents and practice of that study focus on two-dimensional work, i.e. drawing, painting, photography, and printmaking. With a strong studio foundation in their core area of study and a comprehensive understanding of historical and contemporary practices, certificate students have the possibility of combining traditional media into multi-media, installation, and environmental projects, including video and film as well as socially-based and performance processes."

With attention to the above statement and to our discussions, I have drafted the following outcomes. Please review, revise, and replace as you see fit:

  1. Proficiency in the fundamental materials, concepts and terminology of one's primary discipline
  2. Solid understanding of Western art history as well as of contemporary issues and concepts in art
  3. Ability to create works of art, reflect one's own process of ideation and creation, and to independently maintain an effective studio practice
  4. Ability to encounter and critique the work of other artists with attention to the origins and the intentions of the work of art and the artist
  5. Understand the place of one's work in the art market and recognize opportunities for grants, exhibitions, and sales
  6. Present one's work through presentations, a professional portfolio and artist statement
