I will soon begin working on my thesis for MA in art. What do you
artcritters see as the purpose of the thesis as it applies to art? Ours
is a different field? How should the thesis be approached? Is it only
a glorified artist statement? Should it be a philosophical approach?
I have seen some that were simply "how to do" papers. Any comments?
