ARTSTUDI 16AX: Drawing Marathon

Hosted by the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture and based entirely in New York, Drawing Marathon helps students learn the importance of drawing as the basis of understanding one's experience of the world. Drawing is seen here as the most direct route to the examination of our perceptions. Unorthodox tools and exercises will be introduced to broaden the students' drawing vocabulary.nThis course will investigate many implications of drawing as a physical and cerebral activity as well as drawing as a philosophy. It will discuss key issues, including those of scale, tiny to huge; the use of different formats; the use of the rectangle; the vertical axis and its significance; the nature of distortions; the compression of space and depth; the search for "form" and its consequences; space and its meaning; functions and the different kinds of space; and the nature of relational drawing.nStudents can expect to be in the studio 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. most days. The average day is spent mostly drawing from perspection and includes several group critiques; most nights accumulate in a lengthy final critique at the end of the physical drawing session. This practice intensifies for the last critique at the end of the course. Students learn to engage in clear and succinct dialogue and discussions within the group. Instruction encourages students to participate in and understand the visual language of drawing.nThe Marathons are intensive all-day programs that run for two weeks at the beginning of each semester at the acclaimed NY Studio School. Students reside in New York City during the program period. Daily drawing sessions at the Studio School, field trips, and creative exploration of the city are all included in the program. Drawing marathon is led both by full-time NYSS faculty and distinguished visiting artists. nThe Drawing Marathon is open to beginning and advanced artists, regardless of their major.

ARTSTUDI 17X: Photography for Non-Majors: Discovering Photography

This course is designed to introduce the beginning photographer to the basics of making, looking at and discussing fine-art photographs. Students will learn the fundamentals of camera operation¿including focus, exposure, depth of field, and motion control. Emphasis will also be placed on learning the basic visual and linguistic vocabulary of photography through in-class discussions focused on the concerns addressed by fine-art photographers since the inception of the media. Students will be encouraged to approach their own image making with the intent of developing a series or set of images, rather than thinking in singular pictures. Admission determined on the first day of class.

ARTSTUDI 18: Introduction to Video Compositing

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 19AX: New York Still

The first part of the course will take place in New York City and have students engage in activities and exercises that will stimulate their creative sensibility through immersion in this unique urban environment. They will form small groups and spend time around various designated sites (such as monuments, cafés, parks, exhibition spaces), with the purpose of reflecting and generating ideas through journaling (both freely and in response to a set of questions), and observing and capturing their surroundings with DSLR cameras. They will learn to operate manual camera settings (focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance), implement basic file management skills and use Adobe Lightroom software. They will also go on excursions to museum shows and gallery exhibits and on studio visits with artists, all of which will contribute to their experience of NYC as one of the world's most prominent centers of contemporary art photography. Back at Stanford, students will process the material they shot in New York by making digital (black and white) prints. They will learn to operate 17¿-wide Epson digital printers, print digital proof sheets, and evaluate prints, correct files and re-print.

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 31X: New Art-Cinema for Non Majors

This is a studio course in contemporary cinema art, focusing on actionable, ultra-low budget methods for creating sprawling, proprietary cinematic expressions. Students will build familiarity with the myriad tools of and approaches to digital cinema creation and their practical use in works of art. Students will also be encouraged to conceive of cinema art expansively--as an opportunity to enclose, express and explore other forms of art: the written word, sound, sculpture, image-making and performance. We will think, talk, and work through the question of the role of art in cinema, and vice versa. We will create as a class no less than two short films. For each film, students will have the opportunity to reinvent their role (thinker-actor, writer-dancer, sound recordist, location scout, human sculpture, etc.). Together, we will smash the myth of the auteur as we hone ourselves into a finely ground machine for breakneck film-making.

ARTSTUDI 112: Introduction to Silkscreen

This course will teach students the technical processes of silkscreen printing, including: vinyl stencil, sta-sharp film, drawing fluid, photo emulsion, ink mixing, multiple color registration, printing on alternative substrates, and small-run editions. Students will learn about the history of silkscreen printmaking, including its fine art applications as well as its commercial and political uses. They will learn both analog and digital silkscreen processes, making use of the department's vast array of printmaking resources, including digital printing, Photoshop, the vinyl cutter, and photographic exposure. Students will complete four assignments, learning how to create stencils both by hand and with digital processes, as well as multiple color prints and printing on alternative materials. Students will be encouraged to combine analog and digital processes in their silkscreen prints, as well as to experiment with scale, substrate, and installation.

ARTSTUDI 122A: Expressive Techniques in Multimedia Installation And Live Art (TAPS 122A)

The course focus on multimedia installation and live performances. The theme of the course will be an offshoot of the campus wide celebration of the 200th year anniversary of the ¿Frankenstein¿ novel written by Mary Shelly. For the course the issues of advance medical science in the areas of artificial life forms, stem cell research, biological ethical questions, fictional and non fictional approaches and mythical creation stories will be included. Students will obtain an understanding of alternative ways to speak to issues using various art forms.
