Completion requirement

The capstone is a critique-based seminar that will provide a structured forum for production and critical discussion of student creative work. The process of creative production, critique and exhibition is a defining feature of the major experience and represents the culmination of students’ acquired knowledge and skill in conceptual development, creative production and in critical thinking in art practice.

We strongly recommend taking an upper division studio elective at the same time as Capstone.

Students who double major in CLA and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other CLA major are still required to take the Art BA capstone.

Earn at least 3 credits from the following:
