UNSETTLED is presented by the Art + Art History Department at Washington College, as the culminating degree requirement for our 2020 graduating seniors in Studio Art.
Studio Art courses at Washington College emphasize exploration, experimentation, and aesthetic and conceptual awareness, taught by a team of active and engaged professors who are themselves practicing professional artists. Students who choose to major with a Studio Art concentration gain a rigorous aesthetic and creative foundation, preparing them for ethical, creative lives and future careers as practicing artists, museum and arts professionals, designers, and innovators and problem solvers in all fields. |

In addition to courses regularly offered in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and video, the Studio Art program frequently presents special topics courses that emphasize contemporary art ideas and methodologies, with recent course titles including Art and Language, Art in the Anthropocene: Greener Art through Greener Chemistry, Environmental Art, Art Outside the Gallery, Performance Art and Materials and Meaning. The Studio Art and Art History areas work closely and collaboratively, and the history of art-- from ancient through today-- complements the Studio Art curriculum.
