Contemporary Art in Practice: Methods, Making, Meaning

Catalog description

Investigates multidisciplinary practices of making art within a contemporary context. Encourages students to explore various methods of artmaking with emphasis on understanding that materials and actions hold meaning. Relying on principles and techniques from foundation-level classes, students learn to choose appropriate media for a particular idea and construct work that is concept driven and incorporates cross-disciplinary approaches. Students develop individual and diverse approaches to fusing traditional art disciplines with experimental, performative, spatial and digital technologies if desired.
