ARTD595 MFA Design Studio Spring 2016

This studio provides the MFA design student with tools to further define and develop their body of work within a specific and individually created path. Course outcomes include: a more defined area of inquiry, an understanding of the context of their work, and parameters for further self-initiated work. This studio will facilitate a sharing of student work and research in order to collectively strategize methods to push the trajectory of each forward.
