This class begins in May and culminates in late August/early September. Students will develop and present a proposal and implement a self-designed project that will culminate in an exhibition and written reflection. It is a blended format. Though the requirements are the same as the traditional class (see above), because the class is mainly during the summer, the class is conducted mostly using Google Classroom and other technological resources. However, there are a handful of required meetings several times with both the teacher and peers throughout the course. Students who take this class should be self-motivated, as most of the work is done independently. Additionally, students should only sign up for this course if they are not going to be away for a significant amount of time over the summer, and do not have too many additional obligations as the pace of this class is more rigorous than the traditional semester course.
