This course is designed to provide students who have completed 2 work terms or more with tools and strategies to effectively integrate their recent work term experiences into their job search documents as well as practice articulating their new or enhanced skills and experience in an interview setting. Students are provided with opportunities to practice and refine their approach as they job search/compete for another Co-op work term. In class Apply Together sessions and one-on-one appointment consultations with your Work Term Engagement Coordinator will provide you with semester specific market trends, tools and resources to succeed in your job search. Having the experience of job searching and at least 8 months of work term experience, students share, compare, and contrast their individual experiences. There are also online and in person forums for sharing their work term and job search experience with junior Co-op students.

An introduction to the theory, ethics and contexts of art museum/gallery curatorial practice. Emphasis on communication through exploring interpretations and considering ethical practice. Students will learn specialized knowledge, resources, references and methodologies and explore professional and academic responsibilities of art-based curatorial work.

Art and the settings in which it is seen in cities today. Some mandatory classes to be held in Toronto museums and galleries, giving direct insight into current exhibition practices and their effects on viewer's experiences of art; students must be prepared to attend these classes.

Viewed from an artist’s perspective, this course considers the exhibition as medium, and curating as a creative act. By studying the history of exhibitions organized by artists and artist collectives, this course considers their influence on contemporary curatorial practice with a focus on historical and contemporary Canadian exhibitions.

Curatorial practice and the responsibilities of the curator, such as the intellectual and practical tasks of producing a contemporary art exhibition, researching Canadian contemporary art and artists, building a permanent collection, administrating a public art competition, and critical writing about works of visual art in their various contexts. Studio and/or gallery visits required.

Time and history bring different factors to our understanding and interpretation of artworks. Students will explore both intellectual and practical factors concerning curating historical art, from conservation, research, and handling issues to importance of provenance, collecting, and display, through workshops, critical writing and discussion, field trips, and guest speakers.
