Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0203 - Vagabonding Images: Introduction to Studio Art Practice

Vagabonding Images invites students to investigate the indistinct borders between two-dimensional art and installation art through studio work. Assignments will emanate from drawing and painting. With a focus on abstraction and nonrepresentational studio art practice, students will learn to develop an individual approach to a subject matter through research, readings, films, and digital image presentations. While we examine visual art productions from a transcultural perspective, we will also engage in critical art theory and topics such as media diversity, materiality, and composition. Students will be required to present a collaborative artist presentation on an assigned artist. Student evaluation will be based on participation in studio sessions, class discussions, timely completion of assignments, and the artist presentation. Keywords: Studio-Art, Drawing, Painting, Multimedia, Critical-Art-Theory

Media and Technology Lab fee: $50. Students in this course can expect to spend 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
