This seminar expands and refines students' skills in reading and writing about art in relation to their practice, ideas, and experiences. The course is structured around group discussions and in-class writing, beginning with an exploration of artist writings and personal essays, focusing on voice, description, structure, and research. Students learn to distinguish between an essay and an academic paper, examining how personal experience can inform critical discussions around art, culture, society, and politics. Students draft and revise their thesis essays.
