Interdisciplinary Arts 0257 - Work, Work, Work, in Progress

The contemporary art world puts great emphasis on product and branding when discussing the work of an artist. We will engage with the concept of work in relationship to the idea of process, examining the way in which ideas are developed as much as the methods in which they are produced. This course aims to create artwork in the context of process, in which assignments and in-class exercises are engaged with material exploration in relationship to forming and presenting studio art projects. This course is a good fit for advanced students with a developing sense of what art they want to make, seeking the space to learn new ways of approaching producing, discussing, and curating their work. Students will make work in drawing, sculpture, art multiples, design, writing, and installation. The course materials will be supported by peer feedback, visiting critics, writing, museum visits, and creating studio art projects. Prerequisite: two studio art courses

Independent Work Lab Fee: $75 In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes reading, writing, research.
