STUDIO CULTURE

Barbara Kruger, 2018
ENGAGED, RESPECTFUL PRESENCE

The nature of a studio environment is a bunch of artists learning and working together. 

Being present in class is more than just physical: it includes but is not limited to:

01. communicating with your peers

02. engaging in critique

03. witnessing lectures and presentations

04. participating in discussions

05. making presentations

06. using campus equipment

07. taking notes 

08. submitting assignments into our class Google Drive folder

The technical and conceptual work in this class builds on the previous week. If you expect to miss class, find that you are missing classes, or obtain a medical issue that may affect your attendance, you will not be able to make up the work and you should withdraw from this course.
