It's not just about becoming a better artist, it's about personal and visual transformation. Intense ideas heat up the issues and ignite the compulsion to see, to produce. Meanwhile, theory confronts you with the sometimes traumatizing discourse of cultural Studies. These disruptions change who you are, what you make, and how you make it. Heidegger calls it "throwness into being." Underneath it all, there's a sublime continuity of purpose. Please visit our website at www.meca.edu
