Our faculty advisors for this programme are experienced artists and teachers who are actively involved in their artistic career.
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.
The programme includes the following:
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.

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.
Also now available: individual critique sessions
