Visual Arts Lecture Series Seminar
VA4218.01
Course Description
Summary
This discussion-animated, readings-based seminar provides art historical, cultural, and critical contexts for the Visual Arts Lecture Series (VALS). In addition to our ongoing interrogation of the public lecture as such, students present their own work (in any field) and analyze the technical and stylistic aspects of structuring an effective and engaging ‘talk.’ The course provides unique opportunities for interaction with visiting artists, curators, critics, and historians. Consistent participation and a formal presentation of work/research is required, as are visits to local and regional museums and archives. Please note: Students taking the seminar will not need to register for, and will not receive separate credit for, VALS. However, attendance at all VALS lectures is a requirement of the course.Prerequisites
By permission of instructor (vanessalyon@bennington.edu); students should be prepared to present their own (advanced work) in progress (any discipline or Plan area is acceptable).
