MFAEDA Workshop and Critique II
Thomas S. Rankin
Description from DukeHub
A class that meets weekly for 3 hours to review, discuss and reflect on student work in-depth. Works critiqued will be both works-in-progress as well as finished projects. Guest scholars and visiting artists will join the class at times, bringing an 'outside' perspective to discussions. Students will also be assigned formal roles to lead weekly critiques.
