Students will also focus on developing personal images that relate to these techniques through intensive projects.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course covers an extensive range of clay construction processes exclusive of the wheel. Fundamental problems in ceramics such as timing, gravity and weight are experienced in assignments that explore basic sculptural concepts. Students are introduced to historic and contemporary models to understand the possibilities offered by ceramic materials. Basic ceramic processes from glaze mixing to kiln firing are experienced within the context of experimental materials exploration.

4.00 Credits
4 hours. In this course, the potter's wheel is used as the forming process for making vessels expressive of the visual, tactile, and intellectual possibilities available through the medium. Provided is a direct experience with process and materials that teach necessary skills and techniques to enable students to correlate the hand and eye with the mind. The objective of the course is to help students develop creative ideas and concepts into works of art. Historical references are also explored.(Fall and Spring)

4.00 Credits
4 hours. Design is the synthesis of a rational and intuitive process that communicates ideas, emotion, experience, and a strategic message to an intended audience. This course introduces students to the history, theory, and process of design, including its roles and responsibilities within society. We explore the fundamentals of typography, grid structure, visual perception, visual language, hierarchy of information, and sensitivity to forms and their aesthetic function. Conceptual and applied problem-solving projects develop an awareness and understanding of the design process while incorporating the use of current design-related software and hardware. Work is produced in a variety of digital and print media, considering two and three dimensional form as well as the element of time. (Fall and Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. In this course, students will learn basic photographic skills including camera function, film exposure, film development, and essential black and white darkroom techniques. Through class discussions, book and slide presentations, photographic techniques and ideas. In frequent class critiques, students are encouraged to participate in a dialogue that will help them to develop the vocabulary and visualization skill necessary for critical evaluation of photographic work. (Fall and Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course is focused on image making and image processing in relation to experiencing a broad range of printmaking processes and forms. It provides an introduction to the tools, technologies, and concepts necessary to develop the skills to make images within a contemporary print framework. Practices including woodcut, etching, lithography, monoprints, and new digital inkjet print technologies will be investigated. Printed images will evolve by working with a combination of hand and digital processes, with ink and with computer software, thus allowing the print to be understood as both physical and electronic process. Ideas inherent to the process of printmaking such as reproduction, translation, synthesis, remixing, proofing, recombination, and collage form the basis for discussion and inquiry. (Fall and Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A studio course for students interested in working with time based media such as video, sound, computer animation and the web. Utilizing a number of unique image and sound processing tools and working between both digital and analog systems, students produce projects that emphasize creative linkages between sound, image, animation, computer music, and time. Projects may take a variety of forms including videotapes, audio CDs, video installation, web animations, and performance. Students are encouraged to delve deeply into their own creative process and to uncover the many strategies used in the production of art in the contemporary electronic arts studio. Time Media promotes synergistic, heuristic and creative approaches to technology and so accordingly NO previous experience in video, computers or music is needed for enrollment in this course.

4.00 Credits
4 hours. In this course students will be introduced to painting within a structure that allows for the concurrent development of their technical and conceptual skills. Through a series of projects designed to explore the richness of painting in oil and/or water media, student will work towards proficiency with paint and gain confidence in the production and realization of ideas. Work will be done from observation, from the imagination, and from a variety of viewpoint and techniques. Discussions, reading, field trips, and critiques will enhance student's knowledge of the critical dialogs surrounding painting, and will expand the notion of what painting can be. Courses of Instruction: New York State College of Ceramics 261 ART 255 - Introduction to Sculpture 4 hours. An introduction to the possibilities associated with contemporary sculptural practice, with an emphasis on the development of ideas and conceptual reasoning, and the safe usage of materials and processes. A wide range of techniques will be covered, including structure and fabrication, mold making and casting, and the consideration of space, site, interaction, and context. May not be repeated for credit. (Fall and Spring)

4 hours. This class offers an introductory experimental approach to glass blowing. Students will learn the fundamental skills of gathering, centering, and shaping hot glass as well as cold working processes, sawing, grinding, drilling and polishing. Class instruction will concentrate on the physical properties of this unique medium: fluidity, transparency, light, optics, refraction, strength, and fragility. Discussions, field trips, slide presentations, critiques and demonstrations are at the core of developing a vocabulary with this malleable material.
