Description
The first semester junior students will begin work by expanding on the research they completed in sophomore year. By focusing on studio practice, identity development, critical assessment and professional practice, juniors will be able to make the transition towards their advanced studies at KCAI. Juniors will be required to take one of the three workshops taught by the faculty and visiting artists in an effort to engage materials, techniques and processes thoroughly. The ability to craft several materials into forms on a professional level will be required in order for a junior to make a smooth transition into the senior year. After the workshops and/or simultaneously with them, juniors will begin to work primarily on a tutorial basis in studio. Students are expected to produce four major pieces or an equivalent throughout the term. Juniors will be required to make manifest of their own personal interests and vision.
