I give students space to take risks and puzzle through their own artistic sensibilities by grappling with those of other great artists and thinkers. I expect them to exceed the bounds of any single discipline or way of thinking and model ways of doing that. I help them to think deeply, critically, and creatively and to express themselves in diverse contemporary range of modes.
