This course focuses on the central role of digital printing in photography practice. Students are introduced to intermediate-level digital printing using large-format inkjet printers. The course combines critical analysis and printing technology to explore the creation of photography for experimental and conceptual approaches. Students gain a deeper insight and stronger grasp of practices in contemporary digital photography with a continuing focus on the importance of photo editing and sequencing as well as questions around the practical implications and limits of photographic images. This is an intermediate course in photography, with an ongoing emphasis on operating manual camera settings (focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, color temp/ white balance). This course covers the fundamentals of digital color and black & white printing, how to process image files for print, and how to develop a cohesive personal workflow for consistent output. Critiques will address conceptual, aesthetic, and technical approaches within each student's work. Prerequisite: ARTSTUDI 170 or ARTSTUDI 171 or ARTSTUDI 173E or equivalent. Students must provide their own cameras (DSLR or Mirrorless).

This course is designed to develop diversity of concepts and strategies within the student's artistic practice. The course includes a survey of artists using different media taught in the department's studio program such as painting, drawing, video and digital art, printmaking, photography, and sculpture. This seminar-style class seeks to expand the artistic practice outside of traditional media boundaries and focuses on the translation of concepts across various media. Art Practice majors and minors only. (upper level)

Students use electronics and software to create kinetic and interactive elements in artwork. No prior knowledge of electronics or software is required. Students learn to program the Arduino, a small easy-to-use microprocessor control unit ( see http://www.arduino.cc/ ). Learn to connect various sensors such as light, motion, sound and touch and use them to control software. Learn to interface actuators like motors, lights and solenoids to create movement. Learn to connect the Arduino to theMAX/MSP/Jitter programming environment to create media-intensive video and audio environments. Explore the social dimensions of electronic art. (lower level)

Hand-on. Media technologies from origins to the recent past. Students create artworks based on Victorian era discoveries and inventions, early developments in electronic media, and orphaned technologies. Research, rediscover, invent, and create devices of wonder and impossible objects. Readings in history and theory. How and what media technologies mediate.

Students develop and produce intermedia works. Musical and visual approaches to the conceptualisation and shaping of time-based art. Exploration of sound and image relationship. Study of a wide spectrum of audiovisual practices including experimental animation, video art, dance, performance, non-narrative forms, interactive art and installation art. Focus on works that use music/sound and image as equal partners. Limited enrollment. Prerequisites: consent of instructors, and one of FILMPROD 114, ARTSTUDI 131, 138, 167, 177, 179, or MUSIC 123, or equivalent. May be repeated for credit

Intermediate/advanced. Observation, invention, and construction. Development of conceptual and material strategies, with attention to process and purpose. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: 140 or consent of instructor. (upper level)

In this upper-level drawing class, students learn to use brush and ink as unique expressive means though the study of traditional and contemporary ink paintings, drawing from life as well as free experimentation. Observation, expression and abstraction will be integrated through persistent practice.

The subject of this course is Life as we know it, and artists at all levels will learn to communicate their questions, concerns, and perspectives on paper. The drawing process empowers students to express themselves in their already unique visual languages, while the objects will be testimonies to their personal, cultural, spiritual, and revolutionary experiences. We begin by developing or refining students' fundamental techniques through indoor and outdoor observational drawing. Our focus shifts toward representational and conceptual strategies for storytelling that reference students¿ archives, popularized content, literature, historical references and more. Through drawing, we discuss and examine a diverse range of contemporary art to address the legacy of visual art. All preparation must be done between class meetings, and all artworks will be made during class to maximize the studio art-making experience.

A dynamic mix of guided writing and drawing assignments, and self-driven studio time. We will get dirty with the ABCs of drawing while playing with freeing constraints and looking closely into the visual dimension of words. Through a spirited, daily practice students will learn how to trust and blast open the art that they uniquely make. Students will create their own semiotic games, word-shapes and poem-pictures. Investigating cross-pollinations, intersections and possibilities as points of departure, we will experiment with inventive tensions between visual and written images. We will look at (and write about) art history as artists.
