This three-week multi-disciplined studio-based residency will be in the Burren College of Art on the west coast of Ireland. The Burren is a UNESCO World Heritage Ecological Site known for its unique and dramatic landscape. Students have 24/7 access to their on-campus studios. The landscape and local culture will be engaged through hill walking, visits to noted archaeological sites, ceili dancing, and an overnight trip to the Aran Island, the most westerly inhabited location in Europe.

Advanced exploration is encouraged in the screenprinting medium. Emphasis is placed on individual experimentation, development and the refinement of technical skills. Processes offered include large format printing, 4-color separation, and other advanced traditional photographic and digital techniques.

Students will be asked to respond through screenprinted work in a variety of formats, to art works, of their choice, in the museum collection. Reproductions of, re-representation of and re-evaluation of known works will encourage students to critically engage the museums collection while developing their own studio vocabulary and technical abilities.

Designed for advanced-level Printmedia students, this course centers the studio as a site for physical and conceptual production. A combination of independent work time, individual meetings, group critiques and assigned prompts form the bulk of course programming. Students are expected to set personal goals informed by dialogue with course faculty and studio peers. Attention will be paid to independent practices and/or professional strategies beyond school. The course supports student production of a focused body of creative work. Students accepted into this section will be given an undergraduate studio in the 280 Building. Please note that during class time, students in this section don't have access to any print facilities other than their studio space.
Investigate alternative research methods specific to your practice. What do you do now? How might you improve/add complexity to your methods/be more precise in getting the info you need? Integrate these into your sketchbook/notebook & artist statement. Do a thorough self-analysis (handwriting, palm reading, Rorschach test, past life regression, use apps like sleep analyzer, pace counter, etc to develop further). Ongoing¿ we¿ll check in throughout the semester to see how that¿s going. Keep this in the form of a journal.
Participation in group discussions and active engagement in class critiques is essential. Students are required to contribute to critical discussions around their own work as well as to discussions relating the work of their peers. The assignments intend to develop critical thinking skills related to individual ongoing projects. They also intend to aid in the developing the ability to articulate ones¿ artistic motivations, be self-critical, and take risks in creating new work. The final critique will take into account these factors.
