Foundation Studio is a course designed to introduce students to the materials, techniques, language, concepts and process of making, using and thinking/talking about Art. Unlike many other art courses, Foundations is an experience where learning comes not only from the projects and their results but also from the interaction among the entire group of students. Your actions, opinions, and participation, and those of your fellow students, are an important part of your art experience and learning.
