Course content
Creative work within a short time frame. Connections, contexts, and connotations of the student's own artifact within the history of art. The student will become familiar with the basic parameters of an artistic artifact and will attempt to place their work within the context of a specific environment. Techniques and methods are entirely up to the student's discretion - ranging from natural materials to photography, video or computer-based work, performance, and both two-dimensional and three-dimensional expression. The approach to students is similar to that of studio-based teaching. Each student consults their work individually. The faculty library and workshops are available to students.
