CP 5600 Thesis I: Fieldwork & Research
First year students will conduct fieldwork to research and conceive a written/visual proposal for their second year independent thesis project. Tapping opportunities afforded by the program to partner with arts, education and community organizations, they will consider urban public spaces as contexts and environments for presenting art, and explore alternative exhibition designs and education initiatives both within and outside of traditional venues. The proposal, a combination of writing, physical and digital models, sketches, site visits, videos, renderings, and/or maps, must document the student’s fieldwork, and demonstrate the ways the exhibit will connect with the interests, the goals and identity of the site and community in which it is placed.
