Where are we going in this class? Let's visualize...
At the end of the course during your senior year, you will have your own solo exhibition of either 4-6 artworks (Standard Level) or 8-12 artworks (Higher Level). Your exhibit will flow together with a "thread" connecting all of your works, visually and conceptually. You will have a concisely written Curatorial Rationale Statement explaining this thread to the viewer.
First we will try to understand what that thread (or THEME) COULD be. It may end up entirely different than you planned, but visualizing the end result is a good place to start.
