This studio course will provide the students with a foundation in the ceramic process, its history and its relevance to contemporary art making. The course is structured in two parts. The first centers on the fundamental and technical aspects of the material. Students will learn construction techniques, glazing and finishing methods, and particulars about firing procedures. This part of the course will move quickly in order to expose the students to a variety of ceramic processes. Weekly assignments, demonstrations and lectures will be given. The second centers on the issue of how to integrate ceramics into the students' current practice. Asking the question of why we use ceramics as a material and further, why we choose the materials we do to make art. Rigorous group and individual critiques focusing on the above questions will be held. The goal of this course is to supply the students with the knowledge and skill necessary to work in ceramics and enough proficiency and understanding of the material to enable them to successfully incorporate it into their practice.

Prerequisites: VIAR R1001, and VIAR R3201 Enrollment limited to 12. Each class students will set up easels and paint outside in various locations in the city and environs. The class will also include on-site painting in public interior spaces. The world is the painters studio. Painting "in the open air" was first popularized in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, when tubed paint became easily available. At the time, this avant garde practice brought to life some of the greatest works of art and histories most cherished paintings. The act of Plein Air painting is a physical one, it challenges and invigorates any painters practice, resulting in a fine tuned eye, better skilled hands and a deeper awareness of space. The painter, immersed in nature must shift the painting process, in a situation where the subject is no longer fixed, the painter must bend, making the divide between eye and object clear. It is a fascinating process with results unlike any other artistic practice. It brings a single moment into focus with such clarity that one's relationship to time shifts. Portfolio required at end.

This course will use the urban environment of New York City as its catalyst. The focus will be on the "undocumented architecture" surrounding us - construction barriers, traffic cones, construction machinery, scaffolding, building sites - and the temporary landscapes it creates. The aim of the course is to explore the relation between the creative process in art and the makeshift nature of seemingly orderly things, their precariousness and fragility. All media are welcome with emphasis on drawing, sculpture, installation, and photography. Field trips and films will also play an important role in this course.

Prerequisites: VIAR R3330 This class will explore and develop ideas about the role of context in art, as the students develop their own site-specific works and research historical precedents for art designed to be exhibited in non-traditional venues. This class will be structured around studio work, with an emphasis on the development and production of a final site-specific project. In order to foster students' growth and ongoing investigation into the nature of contemporary sculpture, the class will also be comprised of slide lectures, visits to local artists' studios, and galleries, as well as various public art projects throughout the city. As the semester progresses, the emphasis will gradually be shifted from research to intensive studio work on a final project. Generally, the first half of each class session will be dedicated to lecture and discussion, while the second half will be dedicated to individual studio work and critique.
