Wintersession

WINTER SESSION offers students experiential and
competency-based learning opportunities that
faciltate interdisciplinary art making while
supporting core learning within the métiers.
Winter Session also provides a intensive,
reflective space within the curriculum that allows
students to integrate their métier knowledge and
skills in new ways, opportunities that do not
require a full semester or would not logistically
be possible alongside degree-requirements. Winter
Session encourages students to invest deeply in
one endeavor, rather than working on many things
simultaneously. In consultation with their
instructor, students may choose from 5 Winter
Session activities: Interschool (classes offered
throughout the Institute), Winter Lab (creation
and development of student generated projects),
Curricular Production (expanded engagement in
curricular projects), Individual or Group Research
(self-guided learning in a solitary/group
setting), and Skills Development/Practice (gaining
and refining one's artistic practice).
