3.00 Credits
PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. This course is a continuation of ARTV 22200 that deepens the student's understanding of the relationship between material and meaning. Because the nature of contemporary sculpture is often the opposite of what is expected, (i.e., fragmented, ephemeral, and soft, as opposed to solid, permanent, and heavy) material selection and manipulation play a vital role in creating sculptural objects. Context and spatial manipulation as strategies for art making are also emphasized, resulting in a project that involves site-specific installation. Slide presentations, gallery visits, and critical discussion supplement studio work time. Field trips required. Lab fee $70. G. Oppenheimer. Winter.

PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. Each student in this course is encouraged to make independent work that chases drawing at the most personal and ambitious level, including the expectation that students' work in other media is also nurtured in the process. Each week students make drawings that embody an individual visual response to a particular specification (e.g., single vs. plural media, three distinct layers, weakest ability, observed vs. invented, extreme vs. removed, nonvisual source, collaboration, transformation, most radical drawings). All class meetings are group critiques of student work. Lab fee $70. S. Wolniak. Autumn, Spring.

PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. Camera and light meter required. Photography is a familiar medium due to its ubiquitous presence in our visual world, including popular culture and personal usage. In this class, students learn technical procedures and basic skills related to the 35mm camera, black and white film, and print development. They also begin to establish criteria for artistic expression. We investigate photography in relation to its historical and social context in order to more consciously engage the photograph's communicative and expressive possibilities. Course work culminates in a portfolio of works exemplary of the student' s understanding of the medium. Field trips required . Lab fee $70. S. Huffman, L. Letinsky. Autumn, Winter.

PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. Advanced ability in digital imaging not required. Beginning with fundamental aspects of the digital image, this course examines concepts and tools used in the production of computer-mediated artwork.

Using input and output hardware, students complete conceptually driven projects emphasizing personal direction while gaining core digital knowledge. Lab fee $75. J. Salavon. Spring.
