ARST 410 - Capstone B: Professional Practice

HC ARHU

2 credits
In this course, the studio art senior cohort meets together weekly to learn about best practices in the life of a professional artist. Students will develop skills related to writing grant and residency applications, developing an artist statement, understanding graduate schools, and potential occupations. Participants will explore the many ways that artists operate in the world, a range of models of how the art practice functions in the public sphere, and how communities support artists beyond the institution. Students will interact with alumni of Oberlin’s studio art department as part of the Pathways Visiting Artist series, which connects current seniors with alumni working in the field. Open only to studio art majors in their senior year. Field trip(s) required.
