Art Studio 280EM - Topics in Art Studio: 'Materials and Metaphors: Experimental Studio'

Experimental Studio delves into methods ranging from alternative photography to water-based painting experiments. We will experience traditional and experimental approaches to art making and exercise connections between disciplines. Topics include artwork as a byproduct of movement and creative responses to current events. This course will challenge students to research the specificity of their project material choices - investigating the history, political economy, metaphors and the phenomenological potential of materials. We will consider where and how materials are sourced and the ways in which artists and other cultural producers transform them.

This course is limited to Art Studio majors only.; Prereq: ARTST-120, ARTST-131, or ARTST-142.
