ARTSTUDI 181: From Dissection to Monster

The focus of this class is to create an artwork that explores the relationship between creators and the `monsters¿ they create. The course explores the role of the artist as an innovator, experimenter, inventor, entrepreneur, and creative researcher. Students will perform a robust dissection and mapping of a modern technology and then emerge an artwork incorporating the constituent parts and informed by the dissection. n nAlmost anything that we create can become monstrous. One hopes for the best, but never knows just how it might play out. The story of humankind is partially a history of the twists and turns posited by technological innovation. The complex relationship between intention and context sometimes converge in mysterious and unpredictable ways resulting inn corruption in creative strategies, machines, architecture, designs and creative expression. n nThee class is inspired by the classic Gothic literature, Frankenstein, by Marry Shelly., a tragic story about Victor Frankenstein¿s failure to accept responsibility for the consequences of bringing new life into the world.

ARTSTUDI 182: Queered Tech and Speculative Design

What does it mean to `queer' something? Expanding this term's meaning beyond gender and sexuality, `to queer' is to question, challenge, subvert, and reimagine social norms and structures of power. In this course, we build from queer theory to consider invisible assumptions and biases in everyday objects, then design technologies that propose new ways of being. For example: What would a clock look like if it were designed for a world without capitalist notions of productivity? Students will create three electronic artworks using Arduino micro-controllers, sensors, light, motors, and sound. Tutorials will provide fundamental instruction in electronics and programming. This is an introductory art course with no prerequisites.

ARTSTUDI 182M: Queer Storytelling: We Have Always Been Here

For centuries, storytelling has been used as a way to connect with those around us and to bring others into our inner world. QTBIPOC communities use storytelling as a way to be recognized and carve our own space within a cis-heteronormative society. In this practice and discussion-based course, students will create visual stories drawing from their own life, memory and imagination. We will experiment with various mediums such as collage, mixed media, or video performance. By centering stories by QTBIPOC we can continue to subvert the dominant narrative and ultimately create a future where everyone belongs.

ARTSTUDI 201: Art Practice Major Seminar

In this WIM course, students develop writing skills specific to the Art Practice discipline, including Artists Statements, Research Statements, and Grant Proposals, which are required of all professional artists. These written materials are created in tandem with a paired body of exploratory artwork which the texts elucidate and inform. Through iterations of writing and artworks, students experience how each of these practices, writing about artwork and making artwork, refine and advance each other. Students leave this course with an articulated artistic vision, an understanding of the specific context in which they see their work developing, and a set of research questions on which to base future bodies of work. The critical thinking, writing, research techniques and artistic materials developed in this course will prepare students for the more self-directed work required in the 200 level studio courses and in the Major Capstone course leading to the majors senior exhibition. This course also prepares all Art Practice majors to produce the written and portfolio materials required for our honors application (an Artists Statement, Work Proposal and Portfolio), should they desire to do so.
