Buildings are among the most public, visible, and long lived artifacts that a culture creates.  The built environment serves as both a repository of cultural information and exerts an influence that extends beyond the society that created it.  Architecture is art in a physical, three dimensional reality; it responds to the limitations of technology, design, and space while materializing ideals of aesthetics and beauty.  Famous designers, trained architects, anonymous craftspeople, and laypeople alike create architectural forms. 

This studio art course will introduce the ways in which we design, create, study, and convey architecture.  We will investigate practices of architectural design, history, building craft, and engineering in this class through lectures, research, in-class exercises, and thematic assignments.  The course will culminate with a fully realized design for a small building of your own invention.  This course will challenge you to recognize precedent forms and to create designs of your own, from sketch to 3D model making, that explore basic design elements.  Skills explored in this course can be used to gain a better understanding of the built world around us and pursue further studies in architecture.

This course is open to all majors, and prior architecture study is not required. If the course fills and you would like to be added to the waitlist, fill out the form found at this link: https://www.sageart.center/resources.

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: $75.

"It’s not climate change—it’s everything change," novelist Margaret Atwood has said. This course uses video and moving image to examine the deep intertwined and intersectional roots of the ecological crisis, from viral pandemics and racial justice to the disruption of our climate and all the other apocalyptic scenarios we currently find ourselves in. To guide our development of eco-cinematic consciousness, we will study the works of Kenyan activist Mangari Maathai, Native American (Chickasaw) writer Linda Hogan, and French philosopher Félix Guattari's foundational text, The Three Ecologies, to understand how ecologies of mind, media, and environment are interrelated and to complicate our understandings of "nature." Student Projects will involve installation, single-channel, sound, and networked-based approaches. Works will be examined within a critical environmental arts framework through readings, critiques, viewings and discussions. Permission of instructor. $75 studio fee.

The class will visit museums, art galleries, film & media screenings, & learn from these visits through readings, papers, presentations & discussions. The colloquium will also serve to provide an intellectual framework for understanding the operations of the NY art world & to allow students to discuss with one another their experiences at the various institutions where they intern. Each student will be expected to make a presentation about their internship to the ANY group. There will be an entrepreneurial component which will introduce the students to a wide variety of entrepreneurial activity & innovative practices within arts and culture.
