This hands-on interdisciplinary introduction to the tools and practices of 2D, 3D, and 4D art will encompass multiple approaches including drawing, sculptural construction, site-specificity, and video. Students will undertake conceptual exploration in conjunction with formal and technical skill-building and interdisciplinary dialogue, including a studio-based exploration of museum objects in a post-colonial context. Studio work will be supplemented with critiques, discussion, collaboration, and research, as well as study of relevant contemporary and historical artists.
Along with ARTST-116 and ARTST-120, this 131 course will function as a prerequisite course for 200-level studio art courses. Students enrolled in this course will be responsible for some of the cost of course materials.
