Integrated Arts An introduction to graphic creation using the computer as a compositional tool.

Basic computer skills are required; minimal ability in Adobe Photoshop or a comparable application is recommended.

4.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamentals of painting, with an emphasis on working from still life, landscape, and the figure. Students explore composition, color, gesture, surface, shape, space, and volume, as well as new approaches to creating images. Work is done in oil paints, on small to very large canvases. A background in drawing is helpful.
-
4.00 Credits
Through an exploration of materials, process, and site, this course addresses several ideas relevant to contemporary art. What is the relationship between form and content? When does the process of making become more important than the "object" produced? What is the relationshipof craft to art production? How and when does installation become just another material? How can one's body become both subject and site for a work of art? These ideas are explored through a series of projects and through readings, slides, and class discussion. Technical demonstrations include woodshop, mold making, casting, and welding.

4.00 Credits
Drawing is the basis of visual intelligence. It enables us to envision and manipulate masses in space as light reveals them. This course examines perception, drawing from objects, the human figure, masterworks, and interior and exterior spaces. Students learn to critique each other's work orally and in written form. Some drawings are made collaboratively and some explore scale, as assignments include drawings that are both very small and mural-sized.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth introduction to all the basic-and some advanced-processes of intaglio, from drypoint and etching to aquatint, wiping, and printing. The class looks at classic and contemporary uses of intaglio by artists, and students apply the learned skills to projects of their own choosing. Basic knowledge of visual language and drawing skills are required.
-
4.00 Credits
Integrated Arts This class addresses advanced strategies for image creation and enhancement in graphics applications, using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Maya, and Final Cut. Emphasis is placed on how the programs work together and support one another. Students create prints, text, and animation in the context of contemporary art issues, ranging from digital prints and process presentations to documentation. Prerequisite: Art 100, an equivalent introductory digital-imaging class, or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A monotype (a.k.a. the painterly print) is essentially a printed painting. While it is technically the simplest form of printmaking, it is also the one that strives "to honor the individuality of the hand's painterly impulse." For this reason, themonotype is a wonderful tool for a painter to quickly develop ideas of color, light, shape, and composition that are both informative to the painting process and an end in themselves. Students explore the process of the monotype in relation to painting, using traditional and experimental techniques. Prerequisite: Painting I.
-
4.00 Credits
While this course extends the perceptual articulation and essential painting skills learned in Painting I, class projects also develop approaches to painting based in abstraction and in the imagination. Particular attention is given to understanding the various roles that color can play in creating structure and meaning in a painting. Self-motivation, extensive work outside of class, and a commitment to acquiring the necessary physical materials are required.
-
4.00 Credits
Chewing, welding, washing, licking, sewing, casting, baking, eating. This course focuses on how an artist's process and the qualities inherent in specific materials can combine to create works of art. Through a series of projects, students investigate the notion of "process," as it was definedin the late 1960s and as it has evolved into its current manifestation in the practice of contemporary art making.
-
4.00 Credits
This workshop is for students concentrating in the film/electronic arts and studio arts programs. Students must complete a series of short films/ videos that explore movement in cinematic time of sculptural objects constructed in the studio for the purpose of analytical motion studies. The work of Yves Tinguely, Hans Richter, Red Grooms, Robert Breer, Michel Gondry, and Peter Fischli and DavidWeiss, among others, is viewed and discussed. The class is limited to 14 students with permission of the instructor.
