Independent Studies Program

An innovative programme designed for those who wish to work independently, in a supportive environment, with the guidance or mentorship of a faculty advisor. The programme offers directed study beyond that provided in our regular curriculum.

For artists as well as students at intermediate or advanced levels, our Independent Studies Programme will help facilitate a disciplined and intensive period of work and a broadened awareness of contemporary art practices and issues. The combination of working on one’s own in a focused way along with meaningful exchange in a non-competitive setting presents a unique opportunity for artistic progress.

The Independent Studies Programme is designed for those who wish to:

  • Pursue personal artistic goals
  • Develop a portfolio for advanced studies
  • Create a body of work for exhibition
  • Explore new directions

Advisors:

Our faculty advisors for this programme are experienced artists and teachers who are actively involved in their artistic career.

Registration:

You may register for the programme in the fall and/or winter sessions; the programme can be taken on its own or in conjunction with other courses. The selection of an appropriate advisor will be discussed at the time of registration. Students may request a specific teacher at this time.

Components:

The programme includes the following:

Individual Critique:

Students meet four times per semester with an advisor. The session involves discussion of objectives, critique of work, as well as recommended studies, courses or readings.

Group Seminar:

All independent studies students meet with an advisor for a group review of their work. This meeting provides an opportunity to share and exchange ideas and encourages students to develop a language for discussion and critique that can significantly advance an understanding of our individual art practice.

Recommended readings, gallery and/or studio visits.

Cost: $365 per semester.

Also now available: individual critique sessions

Cost : $105 per 1.5 hours
