Research Studio: Winter Intensives

NEW! WINTER 2021
ONLINE RESEARCH STUDIO WINTER INTENSIVES

January 4 – January 24, 2021

Beginning in Winter 2021, SAIC is pleased to offer online intensive versions of our required Contemporary Practices Research Studio courses for both incoming freshmen and transfer students.  This 3-credit course is a great opportunity for you to start your studies at SAIC, acclimate to the school, and join a community of other new students. These courses create access to our interdisciplinary studio curriculum for students who choose or need to work remotely.

Research studio is a “making class" that will:

  • Assist you in developing strategies to provide context and meaning to your work
  • Focus on the connection(s) between digital and physical material mediums.
  • Embrace creative, dynamic ways to respond to our online, ever-digitizing world.
  • Connect students’ ideas and methods of production to the school and larger cultural community.
  • Serve as a foundation for crafting a pathway of study at SAIC.
  • Create access to our interdisciplinary studio curriculum.
