The three Experimental and Foundation Studies (EFS) studios - Drawing, Design and Spatial Dynamics - are built around a series of assignments and critiques in which students are encouraged to think deductively and intuitively, and to investigate the potential of disparate materials as they take projects from concept to completion.Faculty members lead group critiques-both during the process and at the end of each project-but critical dialogue among students is also important in helping their, work reach its full potential. approach art and design with a sustained focus and a rigorous methodology that includes the ability to construct a question for inquiry, demonstrate the ability to critically analyze their studio work and the work of others within personal, theoretical, cultural, social and historical contexts, discuss and implement formal design terms and concepts, and understand the complexity of debate inherent in their application, recognize that their sensibilities influence their creative processes and that these are important aspects to consider in their choice of a fine art or design discipline.
