  • SFDN 187: Color Studio

    3.00 Credits
    Massachusetts College of Art and Design

    Color, in its many nuances, is a constant learning process, a progression of exploration and critical observation for visual artists and designers. This class will focus on using color, its vocabulary, theories and on its formal, cultural, expressive, and pictorial qualities. The class will begin with a hands-on study of subtractive color and light as we mix paint and apply colors. Focus will be on the nature of color, its impact on composition, color relationships, and perception. Understanding hue, value, and saturation will assist students in learning how to mix, apply and use color effectively. In addition additive color will be introduced and we will study the integral nature of it as seen in the context of technology used in digital imaging.

  • SFDN 200X: A Studio in Mexico-Mexico City,Puebla and Cholula

    3.00 Credits
    Massachusetts College of Art and Design

    Join us for a magical visit to Mexico City, Puebla and Cholula. From the Diego Rivera murals and Frida's home to the great pyramids at Teotihuacan and one of the most splendid anthropological museums in the world, Mexico City is unparalled as a magnet for artists across media. Puebla and Cholula have inspired artists from pre-Colonial times. We travel to south central Mexico and visit remarkable sites, including colonial palaces and homes, cathedrals and basilicas, museums and art galleries, local artists and ateliers and amazing markets. Talavera covered architecture native to Puebla and covered with polychrome patterns, introduces the second part of our journey. Puebla and the historic Hotel Colonial will be our hub after 4 days in Mexico City. Pre-Hispanic tombs and pyramids with intricate stone carved drawings, dozens of religious cathedrals and basilicas built by the Spaniards with unique paintings and patterned adornments, artisan markets with indigenous groups identified by traditionally patterned garments all provide a lush environment for art students and an opportunity for immersion in a culture very different from our own and our very close neighbor. Built as a drawing and mixed media course this program would have great appeal to students interested in design as well as fine arts and across discipliens in these areas. This would include at least students interested in photography, architecture, pattern, surface design, ceramics, drawing and illustration, painting, sketchbooks, art history, cultural studes. Course considers the breadth of drawing rather tna a purely academic drawing focus. We will work with drawing as a thinking device, a means of observing and visual note-taking, of exploring multiple media.
