ARTSTUDI 149: Collage
The generative principles of this characteristic 20th-century art form. Along with assemblage (its three dimensional equivalent) and montage (its counterpart in photography, film, and video), collage introduced crucial aesthetic issues of the modern and postmodern eras. Typically, collage creates an expressive visual language through juxtaposition and displacement, and through materiality, difference, and event. Issues of location (where it happens), object (what it is), process (how it is realized), and purpose (why it is). Prerequisites: 140, 145, or consent of instructor. (upper level)

Nature and science as sources of design inspiration. Projects in natural pattern formation, biological growth and form, Fibonacci numbers and the golden section, planar and spatial symmetry, mechanics, chaos, and fractals. Emphasis is on importance of creative synthesis to the design process. Projects take the form of physical constructions as opposed to renderings or computer models. Field trips. (lower level)
ARTSTUDI 166: Design in Motion
Design areas for which movement and transformation are essential. Experimentation with mechanical means such as linking, hinging, inflating, and rotating. Projects in lighting, automata, tools and utensils, chain reactions, toys and games, festival props, and quasi-architecture emphasize the creation of works in which motion is a significant agent for aesthetic gratification. No experience in mechanical engineering required. (lower level)
