ARTS 280 - Advanced Studio in Painting and Drawing

Advanced work in various media. Students will be encouraged to develop personal iconography and content, refine technique, and expand awareness of the relationship of their work to the larger world. This class will not be assignment-driven, but will enable the serious student to engage in focused work, serial studies, and autonomous investigation under the guidance of a faculty mentor Ms. Crocker or Ms. Sisson/Offered periodically.

SPRING 2015 Topic: Drawing: The Expanded Mark

How do we define a creative mark? What purpose does it have and how do we make our mark in the world? These and other questions will be addressed through a series of drawing studies in which students create instances of gesture and meaning in unconventional ways. Giving equal weight to both aesthetic form and conceptual content we will explore contemporary art practices through diverse themes such as time, space, and improvisation. This studio workshop course will utilize non-traditional media, collaborative groups, interdisciplinary models, and site-specific projects. Prerequisite: one art course recommended.

May be repeatable for credit.

Prerequisites: Any ARTS Course
