Mentor Program Statement - The Mentor Program serves as a unique learning experience for a select group of students in the Santa Monica College Art department. Students have the opportunity to work intensively with faculty members, visiting artists and fellow students toward the development of individual bodies of work. the program consists of frequent visits to galleries, museums and artist studios, in addition to focused discussions and critiques. The program features an open studios event in the spring, an annual group show in the summer, and a web site.
The Mentor Program, helmed by Professors Ronn Davis, Ichiro Irie, and Kavin Buck, is in the process of being completely redesigned. New approaches to educational and art making processes are being implemented in order to better reflect (a) the strategies used in the nation's leading art schools, and (b) the ideas and issues discussed by art practioners, educators, curators, and critics around the world.
Through conversation and interaction, students are challenged to explore their own work and those of others, and to solve problems in relevant and innovative ways. Students are also exposed to different aspects of becoming an artist including the preparation of individual portfolios, collaborative work in small groups, and gallery level preparation and installation practices. Students are also introduced to the art world and the dynamics of working with galleries, museums, curators and collectors.
One of the main objectives of the Mentor Program is to serve as a stepping stone; to help students become better prepared and more competitive at the University level, and to provide the intellectual tools and awareness to present themselves as professional artists in the local and international visual art communities.
