Posting assignment (due 9/11)
Post 1 / News Article
A key component of the course is the final project, in which you will research a current event/topic and work with others to produce art that is both reflective and impactful. This project will emphasize artists' responsibility and the role of art in addressing and engaging with current events. Each post assignment in this course will bring you to a project adjacent to your BFA thesis project. Through a guided process of finding a concept, researching, engaging with others, and presenting your work, you will develop the skills necessary to create art/design independently in today's context. For this assignment: 1. Consider your proposed BFA project and look for several relevant stories. 2. Title your post "Post 1 / News Article / [title of your article]." 3. Post a link to one relevant story that means a lot to you and explain why.
