    The Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts @ FIX University

    The Master of Fine Arts in Visual
    Arts

    Master of Fine Arts in visual arts at FIX University is
    the terminal degree within the studio art discipline. Our program offers
    concentrations in the studio areas of drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics,
    photography and sculpture. The primary goal of the program is to provide
    students with opportunities to develop a high degree of professional competence
    in their chosen area of concentration. Interdisciplinary and collaborative
    projects are encouraged within the department. The relatively small size of the
    program encourages students to explore studio areas that will enhance their
    major area of concentration. In addition, it creates a highly individualized
    method of instruction. Our students may also take advantage of the opportunity
    to spend a semesters of study on The FIX University Cultural Campus in Cali,
    Columbia.

    Having the department of art housed on Independent
    Learning presents opportunities to interact with various other college
    disciplines. The M.F.A. curriculum is composed of the following art history
    and art seminar an in studio thesis. The thesis is primarily art studio in
    preparation for a final exhibition with published documentation. Residencies are
    available based upon artist performance and international
    funding.

    Courses

    The MFA in Digital Production Arts degree requires live
    projects, of which are devoted to Digital Production Studio, wherein the
    student participates in production work; which are devoted to Graduate Research
    Studio, where students may choose to continue work on an independent project, or
    pursue a contractual production. The Core Courses, Aesthetics and Theory, from
    the Master's Thesis, and all from Independent Aesthetics and Theory
    courses.

    them the experience of working on a goal-oriented artistic team. Students begin
    their studio sequence taking the studio course for only one credit each semester
    of their first year. This provides new students with a familiarization to the
    team process workflow, while still allowing them to concentrate on coursework to
    develop core skills and knowledge. After the end of their first two semesters,
    they work on a team project, for two consecutive terms, either summer-fall or
    fall-spring. The digital production studio will include regular class meetings,
    under faculty supervision, providing the vehicle for planning, critique, and

    Studio

    The graduate research studio
    provides the student with the opportunity to complete a major project or
    projects, under the guidance of a faculty advisor, in a direction supporting
    their personal goals and aspirations. All students will complete 6 credits of
    research studio. Such work may be team oriented or individually oriented, and
    may be of a technical or of an artistic
    nature.



    DPA 891: M.F.A.
    Thesis

    The M.F.A. thesis course consists of a studio project,
    undertaken with the guidance of the student’s advisor and thesis committee. The
    thesis project is developed to a refined degree, articulated in the form of a
    written document, and presented orally in a thesis defense. The project is
    intended to elaborate and refine a theme that the student has begun to explore
    in the elective coursework and the production and research
    studio.
