Curriculum & Courses
Curriculum Overview
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's (SAIC) Department of Contemporary Practices combines skill-based instruction with studio-based methods of conceptual exploration and artistic research. All of the courses in Contemporary Practices combine meaning with making. Students are asked to problem-solve through engagement with materials and research methods. The curriculum is designed to:
- Immerse students in an environment in which studio practice is integrated with the history, theory, and criticism of art, architecture, and design
- Promote and enact diverse definitions of artists and designers such as maker, critic, writer, intellectual, educator, collaborator, and engaged citizen
- Integrate the development of each student’s individual voice with an awareness of the context in which that voice is expressed and heard
Coursework in this department is required for all of SAIC’s newest undergraduate students, and is taught by faculty who are practicing artists and designers internationally recognized in their fields.
Required Courses for First-Year Students
Core Studio I and II: Core Studio is a fast-paced, yearlong sequence of courses that introduces students to both disciplinary and interdisciplinary art and design practices. These team-taught classes explore the materials and techniques of surface, space, and time (2D, 3D, and 4D), as well as the connections and interplay of these areas. Core Studio integrates the formal with the conceptual, traditional with the contemporary, and makes visible a variety of approaches in current cultural production in order to foster the development of students’ emerging practices as makers and thinkers.
Research Studio I: This studio course explores the themes, practices, contexts, and questions undertaken by contemporary artists and designers. While developing your own work, you will investigate a wide variety of research methods that facilitate artistic practice. You will also learn how to use the critique process to discuss your own work and the work of others.
Research Studio I helps connect you with your own practice, with other artists, the museum, the city of Chicago, and SAIC. Through this course, you will also be paired with an academic advisor, who will attend several classes and work with you one-on-one to help in the process of navigating SAIC's curriculum.
Research Studio II: This topic based studio course builds on Research Studio I and allows you to deepen your individual artistic inquiry. Students choose from a selection of more than 30 thematic offerings.
The thematic focus of the class connects you with other students and faculty who share similar interests. Through studio projects and additional research methods, you continue to develop your imaginative intellect as well as work on the creation, construction, and critique of your work.
Required Course for Transfer Students
Research Studio Transfer (RST) is a required course specifically designed for transfer students. Research Studio is a class that explores the themes, practices, and contexts of cultural inquiry and production undertaken by artists and designers. This particular class combines elements from Research Studio I and Sophomore Seminar, both required courses that transfer students do not take. RST includes an orientation to the culture of the SAIC community and Chicagoland and the development of artistic research skills for students already engaged in a practice. Students take this required course in order to experience and develop a variety of research methodologies, both conventional and alternative, which include utilizing collections and archives in the School and the extended community.
The goal of this course is to provide students with the tools to develop and connect their ideas and production, and to discover the pathways of study they can take at SAIC. Students are assigned an Academic Advisor who provides additional support to acclimate to SAIC and plan their future studies. In addition to studio production, students can expect to engage in some reading and short writing assignments for this class.
Available Course for Transfer Students: Core Studio: Transfer
In this fast-paced, interdisciplinary studio course students will be authorized to use school shops, materials and equipment: including the woodshop, CP digital lab, sewing machine, hand tools, printers, sound and video production, digital workflows and principles of visual fundamentals. This is a hands-on making class. Faculty present artists and content related to a particular toolkit or project theme. Every section of Core Studio has shared learning outcomes which are uniquely realized by each faculty. Students should expect a lively, studio environment. In Core Studio: Transfer students will complete short assignments as well as longer multi-week projects. Assignments are designed to introduce methods, and to help students develop their own ideas in relation to the materials, processes, and themes presented by faculty.
Courses for Prior Degree Students
UG DIV Research Studio—Advanced is recommended and specifically designed for students who are new to SAIC coming from backgrounds with a previous degree or a substantial amount of college-level coursework under their belt. This particular class combines elements from Research I and II, which include an orientation to the culture of SAIC's community and Chicago at-large, with the more advanced developmental explorations to support and build an already engaged practice. Students take this class to engage with a variety of research methodologies, both traditional and experimental, utilizing SAIC archives and the extended community in response to studio-based work.

Core Studio integrates the formal with the conceptual, traditional with the contemporary, and makes visible a variety of approaches in current cultural production in order to foster the development of students? emerging practices as makers and thinkers. In this interdisciplinary studio course students will be authorized to use a variety of school shops, materials and equipment; including the woodshop, plaster studio, digital lab, sewing machine, hand tools, sound and video production, digital workflows and principles of visual fundamentals. This is a hands-on making class, faculty present artists and content related to a particular toolkit and, or project theme. Every section of Core Studio has shared learning outcomes which are uniquely realized by each Core faculty partnership. Students should expect a fast-paced studio environment. In Core Studio students will complete short assignments as well as longer multi-week projects. Assignments are designed to help students develop their own ideas in relation to the materials, processes, and themes presented by faculty.

RS: Maximalism: You are too much | 1022 (001) | Sarah Bastress | Mon
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person |
Description
This class is about being EXTRA. It is about adding all of the sequins and showing all the warts and having all of the feelings. Our editing process will be to add MORE. This class will explore how notions of simplicity, purity, and perfection have been used to uphold a cis white male status quo in the artworld. Using the idea that taking up space and time is a form of agency, this class will join in with the abundance and lushness of maximalist artists who have come before us to find ourselves messy alternatives. We will be too loud, too angry, too big, too pretty, too dramatic, too ornate, too much. Over the course of the semester, students will search for their own gluttonous icons, develop their own over-the-top persona, create an alternate Western art history where minimalism became maximalism, create one semester-long piece they work on every class, create a drawing a day (we hope!), and build a grotto, among many other artworks. Ideas of STUFF, Immigrant Maximalism, excess, the radicality of doubt, duration, decoration, the grotesque, sustainability, and how to make work with an abundance of “trash” will also be discussed. Field trips will include Thomas Kong at Kim’s Corner Food, the Roger Brown House, and Tweet/Big Chicks. Other artists and art movements included in discussion will be Persian Miniatures, Caitlin Cherry, Kerry James Marshall, Dynasty Handbags, Nick Cave, Lari Pittman, Agnes Martin, Horace Pippin, Ivan Albright, Danez Smith, Virginia Woolf, Howard Finster, Florine Stettheimer, James Ensor, Gravy Train!!!!, and John Waters. We will also eat cake in class.

RS: Play and Belonging | 1022 (002) | Alex Cohen | Mon
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person |
Description
1) In this course we will look into the ways that play shapes our everyday lives and it's use in language development. Play is self chosen and self directed. Students will be encouraged to turn the classroom into a place of experimentation where they will engage in self-directed acts where they will be asked; ''can we foster new forms of play that will lead us to develop new structures of belonging?''. 2) We will look at the bodies of work by artists Jacob Lawrence, Faith Ringgold, Chris Johnson, Thomas Hirschorn, Louise Bourgeois, Diane Thater among others and how they have used art to construct and develop imaginative worlds that represent community through experimentation and exploration of form. We will also engage with the play theories of Peter Gray, Brian Sutton Smith, Johan Huzinga, and Michael J Ellis. As well as ''belonging'' by bell hooks. We will bring as many things together to look at the ways that play shapes us and is essential for the development of ''worlds''. 3) True in Play form students will engage in self-directed projects where I as Faculty will serve as Facilitator of all experimentations in the name of Play and Learning. There will be three prompts throughout the semester where students will be asked to generate self directed projects that address these specific issues. The three prompts are: How Do You Move, Whats the best way to organize that?, and These are my intentions.
