Digital media is a key creative tool for artists and designers. Lectures, readings, and tutorials introduce students to contemporary design practice, including: digital typography, page design and layout, vector-based graphics, and design for the screen. Design projects range from purely textual, single and multi-page document design, to problems that require the successful integration of typography, image, and basic interaction. Students explore how context and form affect meaning and message through the creation of conceptual solutions.

Emphasis on further development of advanced throwing techniques; uses on- and off-wheel methods of building. Glaze making and firing instruction.

Introduction to all basic methods of handbuilding and decorating techniques. Focus on both vessel tradition and ceramic sculpture. Introduction to glazes, slips and firing. Overview of ceramic/historical traditions.

Focus on representing the human figure using clay as the primary material. Introduction to building techniques in clay. Focus on observation and elements of three-dimensional form.

Graduate level -A collagraph plate is made the same way a collage is made, and it's then printed as an Intaglio or Relief print. A collagraph print is made from a collage of various materials glued together to a rigid substrate such as a board, creating multiple tactile surfaces that can extend to three-dimensional relief. In this class, students will explore different ways to develop plates using acrylic mediums, carborundum, an assortment of found material; learn printing techniques on an etching press for relief, intaglio and embossing to create dimensional prints.

Techniques and aesthetic considerations of making lithographs. Emphasis on drawing and on understanding technical procedures.

This beginning course will focus on analog capture, film development and printing. As you develop the skills needed to create images you will apply them to concepts and projects. In addition to slide lectures and reviews of projects we will also look at a range of historical and contemporary international artists, whose diverse practices conceptually and theoretically situate assigned projects.
