Resolved body of work presented with artist statement for formal critical review by a qualified artist or academic. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (artist statement making an intellectual argument about the practice — what the work is doing and why, situating it in relation to relevant critical or art historical territory; not a description of what the work looks like), technical execution artifact (resolved body of work — minimum 5 pieces — documented to professional quality: correct lighting, clean backgrounds, accurate colour rendition), documentation/critique artifact (piece-by-piece documentation: for each work, materials used, dimensions, date, the question or territory it was exploring, and what was resolved or unresolved). Studio critique: formal crit with a professional artist or fine art academic — the crit requires the student to defend all formal and conceptual decisions verbally; crit notes documenting what was challenged and how the student responded are submitted as proof. Proof: artist statement, work documentation (with piece-by-piece notes), documented crit notes. Verifier: professional artist or fine art academic — no peer-only verification for this outcome.
