Presenting work from their major area of study, students will engage in a critical dialogue regarding the development of their studio practice with peers from across the MFA degree programs. This presents the opportunity to develop skills in articulating the direction of their work, practice responding to questions in an extemporaneous manner, and contextualize their work in history, culture, and society. Conversely, students will be active participants in providing feedback and assessment of their peers in the class. Both scenarios will enhance the students' ability to observe, feel, evaluate, and reflect on artistic practice, and develop the written and verbal communication skills to share that information with others.
