ARTS 400 Capstone Seminar
In this course students learn about the documents, practices and resources
necessary to pursue a career in the visual arts. Some pragmatic assignments will demonstrate the artist's talents and accomplishments (such as resumes,
statements and portfolios). Other logistical exercises will explore the expectations for the field (like exhibition protocols, employment opportunities, grant proposals,
residencies and applications for graduate school). This course is required for all
Studio Arts majors and should be executed in the student's final year of study.
