This internship is designed to give students hands-on experience using art in a therapeutic capacity. Students may select from a number of agencies and work under the supervision of art therapists, artists in residence, art educators, child life specialists, activity therapists or counselors. May be repeated for credit. 

An inquiry-based studio course that is a continuation of ART 304: Experimental Drawing I; continued development and ambition for a deeper engagement with course concepts is expected.

As a continuation of Art 327, this course is to develop ideas and approaches to generate an individual photography portfolio exploring various lighting techniques.

As a continuation of Art 328, this course is for advanced exploration utilizing experimental photography techniques. Students refine skill sets and approaches for a unique photographic portfolio pursuing various experimental and alternative processes. Emphasis is on creation and presentation of a cohesive body of exhibition-quality work.

This course is the first in a two-part sequence designed to train students in advanced research methodologies and practices specific to design. Students will draw upon the knowledge and skills they've acquired across their education at UT to deep dive into the influence of graphic design on the dynamics of social, cultural, and economic identities and relationships – examining how it both shapes and reshapes humanity. Emphasis is placed on the utilization of research frameworks and tools, incorporating participatory action research to craft a proposal that will serve as the foundational structure for their capstone design project, which will be developed in ART 499.  

Students will participate in an intensive three-day workshop with an internationally renowned artist through our Visiting Artist Program. The practicum will provide an experience-based learning opportunity to enrich the student's artistic knowledge, process and growth as they work and collaborate with these professionals. May be repeated for credit.

A studio/performance oriented course that provides an opportunity to build upon existing discipline specific skills, concepts and processes while developing independence, self-motivation, and artistic maturity. This course provides the time and focus to create a significant and fully realized body of work while exploring the intellectual connections between studio work and readings, writings, and discussions in contemporary art and culture. May be repeated for credit.  

As a continuation of ART 361, this course continues exploration in methods of mold making practices casting and new technology and media. Advanced students are expected to continue their exploration into the processes and techniques of sculpture and enhancing their and body of work.

As a continuation ART 362, this course continues exploration in traditional sculptural practices and new technology and media with an emphasis on advanced techniques and processes in an effort to develop a body of three-dimensional artworks. The course will challenge students to set personal goals in terms of research and art production.

This course helps students reflect upon and apply the knowledge and skills they have learned throughout their education at UT as a Museum Studies major and as a Spartan. Students will develop an individualized, interdisciplinary project that connects their art historical and museological studies to skills, methods, and content they have acquired from other disciplines. Students will research, prepare, and present results demonstrating the successful implementation of a project of their choice (such as an exhibition proposal, public museum program, or scholarly article) via the creation and submission of multi-modal (written, oral, and multimedia) deliverables.

Collaboration Studio is a unique experience that emphasizes collaborative and team-based making strategies. Many artists find their voice through cooperation and productive group problem solving across disciplinary lines. Collaboration Studio seeks to foster a spirit of discovery and open exploration as students and faculty work together in a wide range of studio experiences and create a synergistic group dynamic that will inform and advance the work of all participants.  Collaboration Studio is not a traditional class; it is an experience. The project culminates in an Open House Exhibition. May be repeated for credit.

This course is the culminating experience in which students will develop a comprehensive project that intersects with and informs their own design practice. Students will produce the project deliverables from their project proposal completed in ART429. Upon completion of the design and installation of the project at one of UT’s galleries, students will complete their Post-Culminating Experiences Reflection. This course partially satisfies the requirements for the Spartan Studies Culminating Experience.
