Graduate
Opportunities to combine theory and practice have been an integral part of the Art & Design Education program since its inception more than 100 years ago. The Saturday Art School is the laboratory where learning how to teach and researching issues of pedagogy are modeled upon studio practice. Students test ideas, develop a personal teaching style, and explore research questions through participation and observation. The seminars following the Saturday classes are “crits” for reflection on both unfinished and completed projects.
