Professional Practices is a senior-level Shared Passages Seminar for studio art majors. This course is designed around the completion of your SIP production with an exhibit, a public presentation, and the creation of the SIP narrative document. In addition, we cover the numerous practices involved with life beyond college as a working artist.
Beyond the SIP exhibition, students will document their artwork and optimize images for dissemination. They will explore self-promotion tactics (create a website and consider various social media) and the writing of grant and exhibition proposals. They will reflect on their SIP production and craft a scholarly document to be stored in CACHE (Kalamazoo College’s digital archive). Class time is used for presentations, discussions, and professional practice workshops rather than the production of artwork.
