Light Art

Light Art encourages us to slow down, observe, absorb, perceive, and feel. Light art is immersive, it alters our mental and emotional state. Light art truly invites us into it, not in the figurative manner that all art can, but literally. You pass through it, and it devours you. Whether it's calming, agitating, or whimsical, light can provoke thought or initiate a chuckle. Within a studio format the class will manipulate light and explore light as sculpture and environment. We will tell stories and create acts of guerilla lighting.

Monster Research

Are you fascinated by zombies, vampires, witches, cannibals, and mutants? Do you want to write a research paper on a gothic novel, film, or game? Perhaps, you want to produce a horror script for a podcast series or a YouTube video essay? This course provides a supportive, structured, and collaborative environment for students to pursue a monster-themed research project of their own creation. At the beginning of this seminar, we will read scholarly works that define monstrosity from a variety of perspectives.
