ART 233: Topics in Studio Art
All studio faculty
Various topics presented as introductory-level courses, each focusing on a particular studio art activity. Topics may be defined in terms of techniques, medium, or subject matter. This course may be repeated for credit if the topic is not repetitive. For a description of each course, see the current online “Schedule of Classes.”
This course satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement in Arts.
Recent topics courses taught include:
The Image as Readymade: This introductory studio art course considers historical and contemporary visual media as a conceptual starting point for visual art projects. Working with photomontage, watercolor, gouache, ink, and some digital media, students will create a range of expressive work reflecting on the consumption of visual media within the artistic process. Students will learn technical skills associated with water based media and will create artworks that are both physical and digital. Methods of instruction include studio projects, critiques, class discussions, and written assignments.
