FFAR 248 - Engaging Across Disciplines in the Fine Arts
This core required course, aimed at first-year standing students with fewer than 30 credits completed in a Faculty of Fine Arts degree program, introduces key contemporary concepts, methods, and practices in the arts. Course content, assignments, and discussions work towards building experience in reflective and critical engagement, written and verbal communication skills. Students gain a familiarity with theory in the context of local and global artistic communities, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary artistic practices. Throughout, students engage in composition exercises, build a sensory and critical vocabulary of the arts, and collaborate across disciplines to assemble a toolkit for future research and creation in the Fine Arts.
Notes: This is a required course for all Bachelor of/Baccalaureate in Fine Arts students. It is strongly recommended that students complete FFAR 248 in their first year.
