Ongoing artwork and projects created by the students in VISA 4910 and VISA 4920 are periodically discussed and formally critiqued. Professional practices common to artists, curators and related fields will explore portfolios, proposals and website development, including such components as: CVs, artist statements, documenting artwork; grants, exhibition, artist residencies; graduate studies. The Graduating Seminar is used to plan and realize the annual year-end graduating exhibition and to create the associated catalogue/website.
