This class will not meet on campus Fall Quarter 2020.
All work will be completed at home in individual studio spaces.
This course will be a numerically graded course.
Students are required to spend a minimum of 10-15 hours per week, including class time, for this course.
Interdisciplinary Visual Art Senior Studio is an advanced course designed for graduating IVA seniors interested in an intensive studio based class ending with a group exhibition of student art works.
This class is not medium or technique specific. Students will propose, design, build and exhibit one ambitious studio based visual art project. Students are asked to focus on the methods and materials they are confident with as no technical demonstrations will be given.
Due to current State Safe Campus Guidelines most students will be working remotely. There may, however, be a limited number of slots available for a few qualifying senior students to work on campus in a very limited capacity. Art Advising will be notifying all eligible students. We will be discussing this possibility on the first day of classes.
There may be a possibility for there to be an on campus exhibition but at this moment the final exhibition will most likely be online and accessible through the School of Art Website. More on this the first day as well.

Copy Write Policy
The SoA regularly displays works of art that students create in class, images of student works, and images of students participating in SoA activities. We do this to promote our students, their work and the School, and the ways we display student works and related images vary widely. Use of such images is traditional among all art schools and we assume that by participating in UW SoA classes and activities students have no objection. However, if you do have concerns about these image uses, please contact Academic Advising and Student Services (206-543-0646 or uaskart@u.ashington.edu).
