4 hours. This course will prepare the savvy student with all the skills they will need to express themselves in cast glass. That's right pouring the 2000 degree hot glass into molds made of loose sand, rigid sand, plaster, silica and zircar. Positive images will be realized in clay, wax and found objects. Intensive instruction in modeling and mold making will facilitate artistic expression.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Class will focus on individual expression of ideas using glass as a medium. Emphasis will be placed on skill development, experimentation and technical development to suite each individual. Demonstrations, slides and lectures will center around traditional and non-traditional glassworking techniques for the artist. May be repeated one time for credit.

4.00 Credits
A study of the expressive possibilities of the human form through drawing. Students will explore the figure in many ways with a variety of drawing media. From anatomical study and gesture to portraiture and narrative, this course will investigate the powerful history of figurative art and its potential for individual expression. Fundamental drawing and visual language skills are stressed. This course fulfills the drawing requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of an Art Foundation Program or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An investigation of the ways in which perceptual study can lead to pure abstraction. Through observational drawing and formal analysis, students will discover the abstract principles that exist in all visual imagery. Assignments cover a broad range of drawing techniques and concepts including biomorphic, geometric, and conceptual abstraction. The potential for abstraction to communicate ideas will be explored. Fundamental drawing and visual language skills are stressed. This course fulfills the drawing requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of an Art Foundation Program or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers both technical and conceptual aspects of drawing through the investigation and analysis of natural forms. Subjects range from found objects in nature to microscopic materials, the landscape, and the human body. Emphasis is placed on integrating technical mastery of the visual elements of drawing with expressive content, while working with a wide variety of materials. Fundamental drawing and visual language skills are stressed. This course fulfills the drawing requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of an Art Foundation Program or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course promotes an approach to drawing using digital formats that push the concept of computer beyond its status of "tool". We approach the computer as a creative partner seeking answers to the questions most appropriate for its use in drawing. Newly developed technique and vocabularies will be explored, including raster drawing, micro marking, pixel displacement, wave set processing, gradient manipulations, spectral graphics, autopoiesis, non-destructive editing, data base collage, aleatoric composition, tweening animation, video still frame manipulation, and serialism. Traditional drawing tools are used alongside experimental approaches. Prerequisite: Art Foundation Program (ART 101/102)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This three-week course will be an introduction to the fundamentals of luminous tube fabrication. Students will learn fundamental glass bending, pattern forming and tube processing (bombarding). The focus of this course will be on safe studio practice and the safe installation of neon work. We will install completed works both inside and outdoors, weather permitting. This is not a sign making class; its emphasis is on idea-oriented sculptural and installation work. (Offered only in Summer)

4.00 Credits
4 hours. This Sophomore-level Visual Communications course introduces College of Business Marketing majors to the history, theory, and visual language of design, including its applied roles and responsibilities within society. This course exposes students to the value and function of design, which builds from the synthesis of a rational and intuitive process that communicates ideas, emotion, experience, and a strategic message to an intended audience. Students will explore some of the fundamentals of typography, visual perception, visual language, and sensitivity to content, form and function, as well as the relationship of client to designer within the marketing process. Conceptual and applied problem-solving projects will develop an awareness and understanding of this communications relationship while incorporating the use of current design-related software and hardware. Not open to BFA students.
