Description

HACU-0299, "Division II Independent Projects," was a highly focused seminar for Division II students concentrating in filmmaking, video, photography, performance and installation and/or creating independent projects across these media as part of their Division II portfolio. The class provided a forum for meaningful critique and exchange about the works-in-progress. All participants were exposed to the complex processes in which students engaged as they shaped and completed their projects. Students were required to present their work in progress twice to the whole group for critique and regularly in weekly intensive small critique groups and optionally in one-on-one studio visits with the instructor; attend all sessions; and contribute effectively to the critique of peers’ projects presented throughout the semester. Students were introduced to two diverse critique models, the Fieldwork model developed by the not-for-profit arts organization, The Field, and The Critical Response Process, developed in community by dancer and choreographer Liz Lerman. By the end of the semester, each student’s portfolio contained a revised project proposal, either an artist statement or treatment, a self-evaluation, and documentation of progress and of final presentation of their research projects, as well as noting their participation in small and large critique groups.
