Buff is an annual publication documenting the work produced by students in all four years of the Art and Art History Program over the previous academic year. Art and Art History is a joint program between the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) and Sheridan College in Oakville. This program has offered an unusual and exciting approach to studying art since 1971, emphasizing both studio art and art history in a Visual Studies context.
Buff is assembled by a team of faculty, technologists and students, with work selected by the students in our third-year design course. Buff encompasses the range and currency of both our curriculum and the expressions of our students’ individual visions. The mix of studio practices and art-historical knowledge is distilled and synthesized by our students into the works in a wide variety of media showcased in this publication.
