This team-taught course will introduce first-year students to a range of conceptual frameworks for making and thinking about art. Unlike a skills-based class devoted to a single medium, in this course students will practice problem-solving across traditional media boundaries. Specifically, the course will explore such concepts as perception/description, authorship, and spatial systems, through use of a range of two-dimensional media, including drawing, photography, digital media and printmaking, with an emphasis on object/art-making framed largely within the studio setting. The course is strongly recommended for students considering the art major. A required fee of $25 to cover group supplied materials will be charged at the time of registration. Enrollment limited to 25 first years. (E)
Instructor Permission. Limited to first-years, sophomores.
