Advanced Studio Art Show | May 9

For the third year running, all community members are invited to the Caelum Gallery in Chelsea for an exhibition of artwork by juniors and seniors in Jesse Pasca’s Advanced Studio class.  

 

 

Advanced Studio is the Visual Arts Department's capstone course, designed for motivated students interested in any artistic discipline (photography, film, painting/drawing, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, fiber) and eager to fully explore their creative potential.

 

The course begins with a series of rigorous thematic exercises designed to encourage innovation and the refinement of the creative process. These exercises make space for experimentation, risk, and opportunity to expand students' exposure to different mediums and conceptual approaches to making art. Interwoven into these exercises is the close analysis of a diverse collection of modern and contemporary artists, transecting race, gender, and geography, that stimulate discussion and drive students' personal investigations. By the start of the second semester, students will work towards defining a Concentration Project, of their own design, that will explore an area of artistic inquiry for the remainder of the year. This project is a deep-dive into an area of personal interest for the student and allows for the full development of both conceptual ideas, processes, and materials.

 

For the third year, the 14 students will be exhibiting a diverse array of works in an 1800 square-foot gallery space in Chelsea.
