This course will introduce students to video editing and 3D software (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Cinema 4D), as well as techniques for combining 3D elements and video footage (chroma keying, layer based compositing, camera tracking). We will take an experimental approach to these techniques, prioritizing imagination and critical thinking. Furthermore, students will look at art pieces that involve digital editing and analyze how they integrate into contemporary fine art practice. The structure of the course is divided between lectures, where we discuss existing art projects, and a lab section, where students will receive technical guidance in their exercises and final project. The course primarily addresses students who have little or no previous experience in this field.

ARTSTUDI 24: Game Engines for Artmaking
Introduction to using Video Game Engines as art making tools. Utilizing the Unity video game authoring environment primarily, students will create interactive and dynamic artworks and artifacts within the virtual space. Rudimentary 3D scanning of physical assets merging with the creation of digital ones combine with sound, physics and simulations. Experimentation with both narrative and non-narrative forms as well as display solutions (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Printed Sculpture and Digital Projection) is discussed and encouraged.

ARTSTUDI 139: Portraiture and Facial Anatomy for Artists (SURG 241)
Focus is on the art of portraiture and underlying structures of the face, fundamental anatomical elements such as the skull and muscles of facial expressions, and the intersections between human anatomy and art. Studio sessions incorporate plastic models, dry bones, cadaveric specimens, and live models. Encourages use of proper anatomical terminology for describing structures and their relationships.

ARTSTUDI 140: Drawing I
Functional anatomy and perspective as they apply to problems of drawing the form in space. Individual and group instruction as students work from still life set-ups, nature, and the model. Emphasis is on the development of critical skills and perceptual drawing techniques for those with little or no previous experience with pastels, inks, charcoal, conte, and pencil. Lectures alternate with studio work. (lower level)

ARTSTUDI 148P: DIGITAL PRINTMAKING
The Digital Printmaking course explores a combination of experimental printmaking methods and investigates print media within contemporary art and culture. Techniques like large-format inkjet printing and laser plate etching will be demonstrated in class. Students will have in-class access to a flatbed printer that is capable of printing digital images on a wider variety of materials like glass, fabric, and wood. Through a series of hands-on labs, students will develop projects using a combination of methods and discussions will address issues relating to print media today; audience, distribution, repetition, originality, and reproduction.

ARTSTUDI 151: Sculpture I
Traditional and non-traditional approaches to sculpture production through working with materials including wood, metal, and plaster. Conceptual and technical skills, and safe and appropriate use of tools and materials. Impact of material and technique upon form and content; the physical and expressive possibilities of diverse materials. Historical and contemporary forming methods provide a theoretical basis for studio work. Field trips; guest lecturers.

ARTSTUDI 160: Intro to Digital / Physical Design
Contemporary production processes ¿ both manufacturing and media processes ¿ often span the digital and the physical. 3D Depth cameras can scan real world models or movements, which can be manipulated or adjusted digitally, then re-output to the physical world via a myriad of 2D and 3D printing and laser cutting technologies. Crowd sourced information is uploaded to social media, which in turn guides our physical meeting places. Google street-view maps our physical world, and augmented reality displays overlay it. How as artists or designers to we grapple with and use this digital / physical permeability to create new experiences and meaning for our current time? This introductory studio course explores various tool sets as well as artists working across these genres. This course is a good baseline exploration for anyone interested in designing or making art with emerging contemporary tools.

ARTSTUDI 163: Drawing with Code
This studio course will engage coding practices as drawing tools. What makes a good algorithmic composition? How do we craft rule-sets and parameters to shape an interesting work? What changes if we conceive of still outputs, ongoing processes, or interactive processes as the "finished" work? We will look at the history of algorithmic drawing, including analog precedents like Sol LeWitt and other conceptual artists, along with current pioneers like John Simon Jr., Casey Reas, and LIA. Outputs will involve prints as well as screen-based works. Some basic coding experience is helpful, but not required. Assignments are based on conceptual principals that students can engage with at different coding skill levels. This is a good way for non CS students to explore coding practices as well as for CS students to hone their skills. We will work primarily in the free Processing software for our explorations.
