our legacy

A N S E L A DA M S BRUCE NAUMAN

as sfai celebrates its 140th year , we ’ re honoring

what has made us one of the preeminent arts colleges in the world. Throughout our history, artists at SFAI have knocked down boundaries between disciplines, invented new art forms, and changed the way people think about art. Dozens of internationally renowned artists— painters Mark Rothko, Richard Diebenkorn, and Kehinde Wiley; photographers Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, and Catherine Opie; conceptual artists Bruce Nauman and Nao Bustamante; and filmmakers Sharon Lockhart and Kathryn Bigelow, among many—have made their home here, either as students or teachers. They knew that art thrives in a place committed to experimentation and innovation, where the concept of collective creativity is real and vibrant. While our past has helped us define the present, we are a school focused on the future—the histories that remain to be written. That’s where you come in.

CLASS TRIP TO THE MISSION DISTRICT

San Francisco is a place like no other. One of the most desirable cities in the world, it offers a mix of people and cultures, and a model of acceptance and forward thinking. Step outside our front door and you will experience worldclass museums, galleries, and alternative art venues, many founded by our students. The Bay Area is also home to companies pioneering the newest ideas in film production, technology, interactivity, social media, sustainability, and design. On a map, San Francisco is only 7 by 7 miles, but from bohemian North Beach to lush Golden Gate Park to the bold murals of the Mission District, the city brims with history, activity, and inspiration. For living, breathing, and making art, this is a place of limitless possibility.

the programs

SFAI STANDS AT THE FOREFRONT OF CONTEMPORARY ART EDUCATION.

We are committed to providing an environment where research, hands-on learning, and active dialogue are vital parts of a student’s experience. Our programs are historically grounded yet ever-evolving, self-directed yet collaborative, and attuned to the challenges and responsibilities of the artist in a changing global world. You’ll take courses in each of two schools—the School of Studio Practice and the School of Interdisciplinary Studies—to enhance your major field of study, and give you a strong foundation in critical thinking and problem solving. Our low studentto-faculty ratio means you’ll be mentored by professors who are not only accomplished in their own careers, but also deeply invested in your work. The structure of the curriculum encourages exploration of all our programs, and most students continue this interdisciplinary approach even after they have chosen a major.

SCHOOL OF STUDIO PRACTICE

JONATHAN GROVER / DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY, MFA

DAVID SHUSHAN / FILM, BFA

You want to make art, and we are here to make that happen. SFAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Studio Practice offers BFA and MFA degrees that emphasize rigorous engagement with materials, processes, and concepts, and give you the confidence to realize your vision. The School of Studio Practice comprises seven distinguished departments:

design and technology B FA / M FA

From gaming and entertainment to sustainability efforts, design and technology have become influential, inescapable parts of daily life. At SFAI, students take a holistic approach to how design functions and why our designed world reflects the larger social transformations taking place today. Using the visual language of design and the tools of interactive technology, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll propose and answer vital questions: How can design create meaning and experience? What might the future look like, and how will we interface with the objects around us? How can artists use technology for creative and critical interventions? Collaborative and forward-looking, the program also allows you to build skills in graphic design, illustration, web design, 3D technology, advertising, video, animation, and social media.

BFA /MFA

B FA / M FA

New approaches to film and video are not just studied at SFAI; they are born here. In the 1950s and ‘60s, filmmakers at the school such as Bruce Conner and Stan Brakhage brought forth the American avant-garde film movement. Our current faculty is internationally renowned in all genres, including experimental film, documentary, and narrative forms.

Founded in the 1970s and the first program of its kind in the country, the New Genres Department exemplifies SFAI’s tradition of innovation. Emphasizing conceptual expression through performance, video, and installation, it is a program for thinkers and shape-shifters; for people who want to break boundaries between technologies and disciplines and create an exciting hybrid practice in which life itself can be art. New Genres is constantly evolving in response to sociopolitical, technological, and cultural changes, and work ranges from political critiques to avant-garde personal narratives. Studio courses are designed as labs for cross-media and cross-cultural experimentation, serving as breeding grounds for unique forms of art.

Here, you will have the means and mentoring to create anything from three-second shorts to feature-length films. The department offers analog and digital studio production and post-production courses, technical workshops, scriptwriting classes, and advanced courses in topics such as editing, animation, and 3D rendering. Students also engage with the current and future possibilities of webbased technologies as they relate to cinema, and are encouraged to incorporate performance, writing, sound, or installation.

SCHOOL OF STUDIO PRACTICE

MOLLY OSBORNE / PRINTMAKING, BFA

BFA /MFA

B FA / M FA

SFAI has one of the top-ranked painting programs in the country, and its legacy shows why. Diego Rivera’s Social Realism. Clyfford Still’s Abstract Expressionism. Richard Diebenkorn’s Figuration and Abstraction. The California Funk Movement. The graffiti-inspired Mission School. Major artists have made their home within SFAI’s walls, and then made their mark on the world.

Established in 1945 by Ansel Adams and Minor White, SFAI’s Photography Department was the first in the country for fine art photography, and our alumni include such influential artists as Annie Leibovitz, Catherine Opie, and Sharon Lockhart. Our distinguished professors recognize the complexity of this evolving medium, and push students to address photography’s potential on aesthetic, conceptual, and technical levels.

Guided by faculty working in diverse styles, you will hone your formal skills while exploring painting’s conceptual, psychological, and emotional power. Though the program is rooted in historical knowledge, intensive studio practice and class critiques will challenge you to develop your vision—and perhaps a new movement of your own.

The visual language of photography is central to our understanding of the world around us, and SFAI’s program will give you a strong basis for engagement in contemporary media. Students work in forms from documentary to experimental to commercial photography, using tools from a traditional darkroom to state-of-the-art software. Whether your images come from a pinhole or a pixel, the curriculum will help you develop the skills and insights necessary for critical evaluation and personal expression.

B FA / M FA

Printmaking enjoys a long and storied history, with resonance both in fine art and broader spheres such as social /political activism and music—in fact, SFAI was the site in the 1960s where printed rock-concert posters first became recognized as an art form. Here, you’ll be challenged to integrate form and content, using processes creatively to translate ideas into print. Outfitted with a printmaking facility that spans several floors, SFAI’s program features studio courses in traditional techniques of lithography, intaglio, screenprint, and relief, while incorporating the latest digital technologies that are adding new layers to the medium. From handmade artist’s books and fine art to posters and cross-disciplinary projects, printmaking offers a multiplicity of possibilities.

Artists in SFAI’s Sculpture/Ceramics Department have not only reinvented the form, they’ve reinvented the materials. The program has hosted such luminaries as conceptual artist Bruce Nauman—who, while teaching at the school, made himself into a human fountain—and Land Art pioneer Michael Heizer, who created the seminal earthwork Double Negative in the Nevada desert. The progressive curriculum investigates the interplay of the material and the intangible: you’ll learn traditional and cutting-edge techniques while dissecting conceptual, historical, and theoretical questions. Encompassing ceramics, wood, metal, plastic, fabric, and electronics, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and the ecology of materials, the program also encourages interdisciplinary exploration of sound, kinetics, interactive art, environment art, site-specific installation, and new media.

SCHOOL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

We believe that critical thinking, research, and writing are essential for engaging with contemporary global society. The School of Interdisciplinary Studies encompasses art history, critical theory, English, humanities, mathematics, natural science, social science, writing, and urban studies, emphasizing the role of both theory and practice. The School of Interdisciplinary Studies offers BA or MA degrees in three areas of study:

history and theory of contemporary art B A , M A , A N D M A / M FA D U A L DEGREE

Art history is continually re-examined and re-written through new research and interpretations. SFAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program in History and Theory of Contemporary Art (HTCA) offers students an in-depth, critical understanding of important ideas, institutions, and discourses surrounding global art and culture and how these inform the analysis of art today. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with artists and academics from diverse disciplines such as anthropology, cultural geography, political science, and media studies, capping your studies with a final research thesis. Alumni have continued on to top-ranked PhD programs and to work as curators, publishers, and critics.

Poised at the forefront of current socially-conscious art movements, Urban Studies at SFAI is a studioand research-based program focused on artists in the urban domain. Students engage with civic, political, and economic questions of migration, transit, neighborhoods, and more, but with a distinctly artistic point of view: you’ll imagine creative solutions to urban problems in forms including public art, social activism, ethnography, and community-based workshops. Integrating courses and resources from both the School of Studio Practice and the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, the program lets you chart your own path of study. Alumni have gone on to direct nonprofits in the creative arts, develop incubator projects for social change, and found youth education programs.

In the 21st century, every aspect of life is on view and subject to interpretation. Museums and exhibition spaces are no longer simply white boxes— they now encompass streets, vacant storefronts, digital networks, interactive components, and all manner of alternative environments. Grounded in research and critique, SFAI’s Exhibition and Museum Studies program examines exhibitions as a core element in the complex, continually evolving network of culture, commerce, and artistic production. Courses turn an analytical eye to topics from preservation to curation to museums’ societal role, and our location in the Bay Area gives you access to an extraordinary number of cultural institutions for both research and training.

GRADUATE DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES

MASTER OF FINE ARTS

In the two-year MFA program, offered through each department in the School of Studio Practice, you will have access to the full range of our studio resources and curriculum while pursuing complementary courses in critical theory and art history. Here, you will prepare to take a leadership role in ambitious conversations about art’s place in the world, and to engage and transform society through artistic practice. Based at SFAI’s Graduate Center, MFA students work one-on-one and in small critique sections with the program’s accomplished faculty to enhance and refine their work. The program’s intensive curriculum is augmented by two highly regarded lecture series—Visiting Artists and Scholars and the Graduate Lecture Series—which provide students with direct exposure to internationally acclaimed artists and critics. In addition, students have the opportunity to curate and exhibit work, participate in teaching assistantships, and work with local arts organizations through professional internships. The final requirement is the MFA Graduate Exhibition, a muchanticipated showcase. LOW-RESIDENCY MASTER OF FINE ARTS

The Low-Residency MFA provides the same rigorous curriculum as the school’s full-time graduate program, but is designed for artists, teachers, and other art professionals who currently have an active studio practice and need flexibility to continue their education. Over the course of three to four years, you’ll study with SFAI faculty during an eight-week summer residency, then complete an independent, directed curriculum in your home community. Students return to San Francisco for a critique and review each January. During the summer sessions (mid-June through mid-August), Low-Residency MFA students are provided with an individual studio at the Graduate Center—accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days a week—and can use the Chestnut Street facilities as well. Students can also exhibit in on-campus galleries, and the program culminates with the MFA Graduate Exhibition. MASTER OF ARTS

The two-year MA degree is committed to creative research in an interdisciplinary context. Through core courses such as Global Perspectives of Modernity and Culture Industry and Media Matters, electives and seminars, and the Graduate Lecture Series, you will be exposed to a broad range of theories and practices. MA students complete both a written thesis and a collaborative thesis project, in forms such as an exhibition, website, publication, or activist event. DUAL DEGREE MA/MFA

A three-year commitment, the Dual Degree MA /MFA allows graduate students to work as critical thinkers in two modes—as both artists and writers. The program consists of: > An MA in History and Theory of Contemporary Art > An MFA in any area of study within the School of Studio Practice This multifaceted education helps artists cultivate a large portfolio of tools as cultural producers, and the connections and frictions between research and artwork become an intriguing source of new ideas. POST-BACCALAUREATE CERTIFICATE

A one-year, full-time program, SFAI’s Post-Baccalaureate Certificate is designed for artists who want to further their practice or who require an additional year to develop a body of work before applying to graduate school. The curriculum combines aspects of graduate school (in-studio work at the Graduate Center, faculty tutorials, critiques, seminars, art history and critical studies courses) with the upper-division coursework of the undergraduate program.
