Art as Experience: Drawing, Photography, and Printmaking

Working in Cornell's light-filled and spacious studios, and with access to the university's cutting-edge digital equipment and computer labs, you'll gain first-hand experience in material exploration and art collaboration, research, exhibition, and critique. You'll use a broad range of mediums, delve into the theory and history of contemporary art, and take advantage of Cornell's extraordinary resources, including the university's Fine Arts Library and Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. The program will culminate with a group exhibition in Tjaden Gallery, curated and installed by you and your classmates. No prior technical knowledge is necessary; you'll be assessed on the basis of your individual effort and progress. Some out-of-class studio work may be necessary. Application process includes: online application, 3 personal statements, application fee, transcript, grade report, standardized test scores, letter of recommendation. Need based financial aid is available with the completion of an additional scholarship application.
