Hybrid Studio is an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students from across the campus to engage the book as a truly interdisciplinary subject and object. This course combines equal parts seminar and applied studio experience. Historical models of the book as framework for ideas and physical artifact are studied and modeled. The intention of this course is to combine work in allied disciplines, supporting students in the integration of their chosen major areas of study and incorporating photography, painting, sculpture, design, architecture, engineering, writing, and history. The class moves between group discussions and individual mentoring with regularly scheduled demonstrations of book studio equipment.

Introduction to painting processes and materials. While there is emphasis on oil painting, students also are introduced to watercolor and acrylic paints and a wide variety of painting surfaces.

In this course we explore the genres of painting from the inside-out. We focus on process and technical skill as well as the political and social underpinnings of several painting genres. As the course progresses, students improve at oil painting in its traditional 20th century use and gain some technical and conceptual experience with its contemporary manifestation. Our main focus is on perceptual studies, although we also work with notions of abstraction in painting. There are weekly homework assignments as well as a few reading assignments. This is a very structured course, designed to develop your strengths and abilities as a painter and to further your conceptual understanding of the medium.
