Description:

ARTV 10100 and 10200 may be taken in sequence or individually. Previous experience in media-based studio courses typically will not be accepted as a replacement for this course. This course meets the general education requirement in the dramatic, musical, and visual arts. Through studio production and analysis of primarily 2D visual images and objects, this course engages the communicative, analytical, and expressive possibilities of the range of images animating contemporary visual culture. The studio is used to explore the principles, conventions, and inventions of image making. Emphasis is placed on the speculative process of making as a means to understand the relationships between the intent of the maker and the content, appearance, and meanings generated by images. Among the issues explored are originality and reproduction, color, surface organization, spatial illusion, the communicative properties of materials, and the recognition of accident and chance as artistic resources. Visits to museums, galleries, and other cultural and commercial sites required, as is attendance at designated events. Lab fee $65. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
