Art Studio 280EP - Topics in Art Studio: 'Experimental Painting and Drawing'

Through a studio-based, interdisciplinary approach, this course explores diverse methods and practices within contemporary painting and drawing. We will discuss both traditional and experimental definitions of painting and drawing and exercise connections between other disciplines, including performance and sculpture. Topics include artwork as a byproduct of movement, unconventional materials in abstraction, and creative responses to current events. Upon completion of this course, students will gain a broad understanding of contemporary art, build a distinct visual vocabulary, and develop an interdisciplinary mindset in thinking about what paintings and drawings are and can be.

Course limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors; Prereq: ARTST-120, ARTST-131, or ARTST-142.
