Concentration on individual artistic development. Emphasis will be placed on experimentation, thematic development, and critical review. Students may elect to take this course more than once.

Using sculptural processes, this course examines: found color; color as material (i.e. powdered pigments); painted color versus stained color; and three-dimensional assemblage. Students explore how color is central to structure and composition of three-dimensional form. This course is open to those who have no previous sculptural experience as well as those who are seeking to take Sculpture II.

In this course, students learn the traditional practice and history of Japanese hand papermaking, while exploring contemporary applications of the method. Thin, translucent, strong paper is great for drawing and printmaking, as well as sculptural construction and paper casting. This fluidity of medium naturally encourages students to become interdisciplinary in their art making. The apparent fragility, structural strength, and surprising longevity of the material provides a foundation for philosophical investigations into the nature of creativity.

Printmaking/Digital Hybrid integrates digital and traditional techniques to make hand-processed prints. Using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, students combine digital methods with the handmade, ultimately printing final work using traditional printmaking processes. These hybridized methods include, but are not limited to, laser cutting with hand carving for relief prints, as well as photographic and vector-based imaging with "analog" drawings for silkscreen and lithography.

This course explores the basics of photography using digital technologies with emphasis placed on three objectives: first, the acquisition of photographic skills, including composition, digital capture, scanning, Photoshop, and printing; second, an introduction to contexts, such as historical, critical, theoretical, and contemporary movements in photography to advance visual literacy; third, the deepening and expanding of a personal way of seeing. Students will have directed and self-initiated shooting and printing assignments.

This course will examine the materials and techniques used in building and operating theatrical scenery. It will include prop building, rigging, and welding for the theatre. Students will learn the skills to work in the scene shop interpreting scenic designs for department productions.

An introduction to both the technical and conceptual aspects of drawing as a primary tool for visual expression and analysis. Art historical contexts as well as the dialogue between the arts and other disciplines will be considered. Emphasis is placed on learning to see, and to think visually.
