This course introduces students to current software for creating, editing, and producing core Digital Media objects: photographs, video, vector images, 3D models, & videogames. This fast-paced project-driven course invites experts in the fields of photography, video, graphic design, rapid prototyping and gaming to share their knowledge and experience. Through finding creative solutions to problems posed by instructors, you will manipulate photographs, edit a short video, design graphics, make and modify a 3D model, and create a small interactive videogame environment. The course culminates with designing a digital portfolio of the work you create. This course is open for the current freshman class (rising sophomores in fall 2020).

The coursework follows a sequence of studies that introduces basic drawing techniques, media, and composition through observation and analysis. Through a sequence of projects, students will have the opportunity to develop formal artistic skills and spatial relationships while enhancing their conceptual understanding of art as a visual language. Students will work from life and from the imagination to solve visual problems. Evaluation will primarily be based on the quantity and quality of studio production as well as the effort to thoughtfully contribute to critiques and discussions. Both traditional and non-traditional mediums and approaches will be explored. Relevant readings and short papers are to be expected. Not open to seniors.Studio art supplies fee: $50.

Architecture gives form to space. It is a specialized, functional art that defines space for a utilitarian purpose, based on a specific set of conditions. Architecture makes music out of notes, poetry out of words, it elicits a response. This course will explore the fundamental design principles that are the tools used to create architecture. Through a series of talks, images, field trips, and creative exercises, the students will gain a new awareness of a building, an outdoor space or an entire city. The students will become more sensitive to both the natural and built environment through this increased understanding of architecture. This course is intended to be very interactive and therefore enrollment will be limited to 10 students. Students will be evaluated on two papers and a final project. This course is open to all majors, and prior architecture study is not required.

A wide range of materials and techniques from metal and welding to assemblage, from wood to experimental methods and media is explored in the service of three dimensional art making. Investigations of the specific qualities of three dimensional media (i.e. space, form, scale, mass) and how they can convey ideas are made within a contemporary framework. Artworks synthesize a particular choice and use of materials and a concept or expression. It is the aim of this class to develop this synthesis, and in so doing, begin to develop the students' own working creative vocabulary. Not open to seniors. Studio art supplies fee: $50.

This is the first of a two-semester senior capstone course designed to support the transition between undergraduate coursework and independent, professional, and graduate pursuits. It is a core requirement of the studio art degree. The fall semester of this series has two major components: (1) Studio Production/Critique and (2) Professional Development. For the studio production/critique component, students will maintain a rigorous, self-motivated studio practice, regularly participate in critical discussions and critiques and develop artist statements. Emphasis is placed upon a shift to independent project design. For the professional development component, students will create personal websites, develop resumes, apply for professional exhibitions, prepare high quality documentation of their art, and gain exposure to critical career resources. The fall semester will culminate in a group exhibition and public artist talks by students.  Studio Art Fee: $50. This course is only open to senior Studio Art majors. Permission of instructor required.
