Overview

Art Practices Emphasis from the University of Colorado Denver is designed for students whose creative ideas move across media and who are looking for a more comprehensive critical approach to developing their art practice.

Art Practices provides students with focused professional skills in two self-selected areas of studio art, whereby the student can develop a fully formed and thoughtful body of work with conceptual impact.

What you'll study

The emphasis is a focused degree program that provides students with greater knowledge and tools to make them competitive in the professional world of contemporary art.

The work of contemporary artists is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional assumptions and definitions. Contemporary artists give voice to the varied and changing landscapes of identity, values, and beliefs in the increasingly global culture of our diverse and technologically advancing world.

Students may choose from two areas for their primary concentration: Painting and Drawing or Transmedia Sculpture. They then select a secondary concentration--different from their primary concentration from the following: Painting and Drawing, Illustration, Transmedia Sculpture or Photography.
