undergrad making project

Winter Making Project

To new students who are registered in: Contemporary Practice (CP-100)

Welcome to SFAI! We have developed a short project for you to work on in advance of your arrival this spring. The assignment is meant to acquaint you with the kinds of critical thinking, looking, and making that you’ll be doing as a student here. These projects will be discussed in the first sessions of Contemporary Practice.

Contemporary Practice Assignment #1: Making Project

Due: Monday, January 28, 2013

As you prepare to make a new home at SFAI, we ask you to take a fresh look at the home you are leaving. Please draw, paint, sculpt, film, photograph, digitize, perform, etc. an aspect of your current 'home'—whatever that may mean to you.

Be prepared to share your project on the first day of Contemporary Practice. When presenting your work to the class, be ready to discuss your choices.

Why did you:

  • Use certain media?
  • Focus on certain content?
  • Interpret the idea of home in the way that you did?

If you have any questions, contact Amy Berk at aberk@sfai.edu.
