Glassblowing II

Is a concept-oriented course that expands on the skills acquired in FA 150. The instructional emphasis at this level is on a continual analysis and critical approach to works in progress and concluded projects. Students should already be able to demonstrate a high degree of independence, commitment and technical proficiency. Students are required to develop a substantial body of work, calling upon their unique accumulation of knowledge and experience, that is expressive, original and of the highest quality. In conjunction with the instructor, students follow an independent study of their own design. It is recommended that they develop a critical discourse with students and faculty from other disciplines. The course includes critiques, group dialogue, readings, slide lectures, field trips and visiting artists.
