It is designed to allow students to create their own personalized path through which they create their deeper appreciation of why and how art is made. In addition to producing high quality artwork, students must demonstrate that they are engaged, through thorough investigation, with understanding their own work and artworks from a variety of cultures and times. Each student is encouraged pursue their own theme which guides and provides momentum for their research and studio artworks.
