Description
Through studio visits, and visiting artists lectures students are examining venues through which artists and designers 'are getting the word out'. Students translate and expand their personal design vision by developing critical written materials to create a context for positioning their work. This analysis is directly related to, and in support of, their current studio practice; it references their journals, sources, and visuals, and will become an additional layer, and integral part of the final presentation.
