Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Continues work done in CA (or FPA) 260-3. Work will combine freely chosen and assigned projects in a variety of contemporary media. Readings will be required as an integral part of studio work. Students with credit for FPA 261 may not take this course for further credit.

COURSE DETAILS:

Less like an object and more like the weather

Over the course of this semester you will be assigned three projects. Each project will be introduced individually, with resources and readings provided at the time of the project briefing.

Using these project briefs as a starting point you will develop work(s) and undertake research, supported by individual and group discussions with Hannah and your peers related to your practice.

We will start our session each Tuesday (with a few exceptions) with a brief Studio Meeting: an opportunity to check in, share pertinent information, inform each other of relevant upcoming events, reflect on current exhibitions, screenings, events etc.

Grading

  • Works produced in response to assigned projects (marking will take in to account the level of experimentation, critical reflection, material consideration and risk taking in the work produced) 60%
  • Developing knowledge of Contemporary Art as articulated in class discussions, reference materials, ongoing research and projects. 30%
  • In-class participation in discussions, studio activities, group and individual critiques. 10%

NOTES:

Absences, failure to keep studio clean, install and deinstall work in a timely and professional matter, result in loss of marks.

You will receive written feedback on your grade.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
