基礎演習
文章を正確に読み解き、その内容について自分の考えをまとめ、簡潔に表現するための基礎を学ぶ。担当教員の制作論や研究論文を読み、そこで扱われる問題や考え方について議論する。読解と考察を通して、他者の視点を理解するとともに、自分自身の問いや意見を見いだし、論理的な文章として表現する力を養う。
専門演習Ⅰ・Ⅱ
自らの関心や問題意識に基づいて研究課題を設定し、文献や資料を調査・分析するための方法を学ぶ。文献の探し方、引用や参考文献の扱い方、論理的な文章の組み立て方など、アカデミック・ライティングの基礎を身につける。また、収集した資料や先行研究をもとに、自分の問いについて考察を深め、根拠に基づいて議論を組み立てる力を養う。制作と研究を結びつけ、自らの表現や思考を言葉にするための視点を培う。
卒業研究Ⅰ・Ⅱ
これまでの学習、制作、研究を総合し、自ら設定した問いについて論理的かつ体系的に考察する。収集した資料や先行研究を分析し、その結果と考察を序論・本論・結論として構成することで、卒業論文を完成させる。また、執筆と推敲を重ねるなかで、自分の考えを批判的に検証し、他者に伝える力を高める。卒業後も、制作と理論的な考察を行き来しながら、自ら研究を続けていくための視点と方法を身につける。

Foundational Seminar
This seminar introduces the fundamental skills of critical reading, reflection, and academic writing. Students read and discuss the instructor's writings on artistic practice and research papers, examining the questions and ideas presented in these texts. Through reading, discussion, and short writing assignments, students learn to understand different perspectives, develop their own questions and interpretations, and communicate their ideas clearly and logically.
Specialized Seminar I & II
This seminar introduces the fundamental methods of academic research and writing. Students learn how to formulate research questions based on their own interests, locate and analyze relevant literature, use citations and references appropriately, and construct logical arguments. By engaging with research materials and previous studies, students develop the ability to critically examine their questions and support their ideas with evidence. The seminar also encourages students to connect artistic practice with research and articulate their creative processes and ideas through writing.
Graduation Research I & II
This course brings together students' previous learning, artistic practice, and research to develop a systematic and logically structured investigation of a self-defined research question. Students analyze relevant materials and previous studies, organize their findings and interpretations into an introduction, main body, and conclusion, and complete their graduation thesis. Through writing and revision, students strengthen their ability to critically examine and communicate their ideas. The course also provides a foundation for continuing independent research beyond graduation by fostering an ongoing dialogue between artistic practice and theoretical inquiry.
