This intermediate architecture studio will be a design investigation of a particular theme in, or approach to, architec-ture and the built environment. In this course, students will develop and apply architectural skills (sketches, plans, elevations, models, diagramming, and various modes of representation by hand and with the computer) to inter-disciplinary and socially pertinent design problems. A design language will be developed through a series of exercises that will culminate in a building project.

This course will explore the fundamentals of catalysis and how they manifest in enzymatic systems. We will use nature's "simplest" catalyst, the proton, to examine the physical principles of catalysis, followed by iron as a "simple" redox catalyst. These two models will then be used to address the similarities and differences between small-molecule catalysts and enzymes, including their substrate specificity, regio- and stereoselectivity, and enormous rate accelerations.

This course will explore the history, art, architecture, design, theater, and crafts of the German school, the Bauhaus--including relationships to the cultural philosophy of the Frankfurt School. We begin with WWI, the German Revolution, and the controversies surrounding the Bauhaus during the Weimar Republic; study the closure and exile of the Bauhaus by the Nazis; and consider Bauhaus legacies--including WWII, the Cold War, and 21st century perspectives emerging from the Bauhaus centennial in 2019.

Paul Valery described seeing as "forgetting the name of the thing one sees." We see before we have the words to say what we see. But what is it that we see when we look? And how does it seem to come closer or disappear when we move to speak? In this workshop we will focus on the interplay between seeing and naming, focusing on works of poetry created in conversation with or in response to images, whether still or moving. Ideal for students who want to incorporate text into their visual practice, or those who want to explore taking their words off the page.

In this multi-disciplinary theatre class, you will create original written and performance pieces that weave together moments from your time at Hampshire with moments from Hampshire's past, gleaned from archival research and interviews. At the heart of this process is the idea that a community is made up of both memory and embodied experience, and that one of the roles of theatre makers is to form a bridge between what is seen and what is unseen.

The second semester of first-year Arabic that introduces the basics of Modern Standard Arabic, this course concentrates on all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students will begin with chapter 6 of Al Kitaab Book I and complete Chapter 13 in Al Kitaab Book I by the end of the academic year. Students will acquire vocabulary and usage for everyday interactions as well as skills that will allow them to read and analyze a range of texts.

This course focuses on strategies and techniques for teaching creative drama and theatre with young people in primary and secondary school settings including afterschool programming. Throughout the semester we will answer questions such as - What tools and skills are required to design and implement theatre curriculum? How is youth theatre implemented in schools? How can reader's theatre and oral interpretation of literature be utilized in classrooms? In addition, students in this course will focus on building their facilitation skills and establishing their teaching philosophy.

This course is a thorough introduction to color photography. Weekly project-based assignments and critiques address students' aesthetic and technical progress; readings and discussions will introduce students to historical and contemporary art practices, with an emphasis on current photographic theory. Lab sessions will cover a range of techniques including the nuances of color, color film, digital capture, color management and archival inkjet printing. An additional lab workshop will meet once a week for two hours.

In this museum studies course we investigate works of original art and material culture from the Americas, ancient to contemporary, in the Five College area in person. We experience works by artists such as Diego Rivera, Carmen Lomas Garza, and Rufino Tamayo as well as popular/material culture objects such as textile fragments, religious figurines, and ceramics. Defying a culture constantly propagating the rushed assimilation of images, we engage in slow and meaningful looking.

This course will introduce the many possibilities of watercolor. Through tests and experiments students will become familiar with this accessible and mutable medium. They will be expected to develop self-direction in content while searching to find their own individual ways of working in watercolor that best suits their subjects. This is a studio course with regular discussions around class work and relevant artwork.
