4.00 Credits
A studio course to incrementally build drawing skills and expand visual vocabulary. Various media will be explored, and drawings will be made from life (still-life and model), photographs and invention. Although emphasis will be on enhancing our observational sensibilities, with a focus on all aspects of technical development, the assignments will also delve into the development of abstract and conceptual principles, as well as introduce specialized systems of rendering and notation. The aim is not simply to expand drawing skills, but to apply them for visual communication of any goal. Open to beginners.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will focus on the continuing development of skills, as well as exploring further methods and modes of drawing. More emphasis will be placed on personal projects, with consideration of drawing as a means for representing other forms. We will consider drawing as an endeavor poised between traditional skills and contemporary practice.
-
4.00 Credits
Using the silkscreen printing process, students will create paintings and objects that incorporate images and text found in popular culture. Through slides, videos and informal discussions, students will be introduced to the Pop artists of the 20th century as well as other contemporary artists.
-
4.00 Credits
Surface" considered as formal quality and useful tool. Whether taken to mean literal materials, the chain of ideas cohering a body of work, or painting's Teflon-like durability as cultural tradition, we'll pursue strategies to engage surface: seriality, alternative supports, facture/blur; mechanical tools, casualness and formality. Of particular interest are the challenges posed by seamlessness both in photographic sources and in conversations surrounding abstraction. Emphasis on painting, but other disciplines are welcome.
-
4.00 Credits
A response to the place where motion and still photography approach one another will be the focus of this studio class. A phenomenological approach to image making will be emphasized to upend ideas of time, space and motion. Artists who raise these issues including Robin Rhodes, Michael Wesley, Tacita Dean, Bill Viola and Hiroshi Sugimoto will provide grounding for experimental student-directed projects.
-
4.00 Credits
Explores the way in which some photographic practitioners have questioned accepted photographic conventions and are rejecting the historical orthodoxy in favor of a more subjective statement. Each student is expected to complete a major photographic project that reveals his or her own personal photographic style and preoccupations while still retaining a direct and discernible relationship to the subject.
-
4.00 Credits
This class will investigate inherent photographic concepts, such as appropriation, decontextualization, multiple production, the use of systems, and the idea of the archive, as tools for generating personally relevant photo-based work. Tangential assignments, critiques, readings, and slide presentations will serve to broaden the students' range of working methods with the aim towards the development of a project-driven body of work.
-
4.00 Credits
Class will focus on narrative fiction film. Students will explore the technical and artistic possibilities of narrative fiction film by writing, directing and editing several short exercises as well as developing a script for a spring term project. The work will be discussed extensively in class. Students will also learn the techniques of lighting, sound recording and editing.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will prepare, shoot and edit a short fiction film based on a script developed in the fall term. Students will be required to be involved in shooting, sound recording and editing on other student films. The work will be discussed extensively in class.
-
4.00 Credits
Each student will design and produce a single short animation project based on an original idea, or a literary, mythic, or folkloric source of their choice. We will explore the possibilities and problems matching form and content in animated films, and develop conceptual tools each student can employ in the creation of individual project work. This course will accept both introduction level and intermediate level students.
