The course is an immersive exploration of the creative possibilities offered by interactive media, focusing on integrating video, sound, and physical elements to construct captivating worlds and experiences. Students will learn the fundamental principles of storytelling, spatial design, sound design, and interactive technologies and apply them to create engaging and interactive installations. This course provides a unique opportunity to delve into installation art, projection mapping, Touch Designer, and Arduino circuits and sensors. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience designing and developing immersive environments, learning how to construct interactive narratives, incorporate soundscapes, and employ cutting-edge technologies. They will explore the power of projection mapping to transform physical spaces, understand the capabilities of Touch Designer for building interactive video and sound systems, and harness the potential of Arduino circuits and sensors to integrate physical elements into their installations. Prerequisites: None. This course is open to students interested in creative media, art, storytelling, and technology. Basic familiarity with multimedia tools and concepts is beneficial but not required.

This course presents a unique opportunity for students to learn from and work closely with an important contemporary visiting artist, Jenifer Wofford. The collaborative framework of classes will have them discuss and reflect on relevant themes and issues of our time, selected by the visitor, around which they will conceptualize their projects and develop their practice over a period of ten weeks. Classes will be organized atelier-style, meaning they will be conducted live in the gallery space, which will serve as studio space and be open to public viewing, and they will offer students the experience of artistic growth through the process of working with the visitor.

Relief printing, being one of the oldest forms of printmaking techniques, involves inking a carved block or plate on its non-recessed surface and then transferring it onto paper. Throughout this introductory course, we will examine examples dating back to 9th century China up to the present, exploring a diverse range of possibilities ranging from traditional to contemporary styles. Students will acquire proficiency in various techniques, including linoleum and wood, while also having the opportunity to explore unconventional materials. Class time will encompass demonstrations, presentations, critique sessions, and dedicated independent work time. Students should anticipate creating two editions of their prints and participating in a class print exchange.

How do music and art relate? How does one speak for, with, the other? In the past century, Western visual art turned towards abstraction and time-based works. Techniques and processes for interaction between image and sound expanded dramatically. What better place to learn about them than the Anderson Collection? Through students' own visual and aural creations, we will explore and share individual approaches to time, symbol, memory, and meaning. Previous experience in music composition is welcome but not required. This course must be taken for a minimum of 3 units and a letter grade to be eligible for Ways-AII credit.

Painting and Acrylics is an introductory studio art course open to all students. In this class you will be exposed to a range of strategies and subject matter for painting with acrylics. Each week students will be shown new techniques and asked to put them into practice with class projects e.g., cloud painting, self-portraits, and making your own masterpiece. At the end of this course students will understand how to use acrylic paint to render any and all representational subject matter.

This class will provide students with different techniques, inspiration, and exercises to experiment Drawing as a tool for invention and discovery. Exploring materials such as charcoal, pastel, and ink, students will be involved in drawing exercises for the development of an individual language or research. We will approach drawing as a language with many uses and "speakers" instead of an established academic tool. Each week we will take inspiration from the drawings of filmmakers, animators, sculptors, illustrators, and artists to copy their styles as a way of learning, and exploring their language and thought. The classes will start with simple drawing exercises to warm up, then proceed to look at the drawings of different kinds of artists to copy the linework, thinking, and techniques in class as a way of exploring the different possibilities and materialities of the medium. No previous experience is required, open to all students, majors, and non-majors, at all skill levels.

In this 4-unit course, students will explore the transformative potential of Augmented Reality (AR) as a medium for artistic expression and intervention in public spaces. The course delves into the world of interactive AR art, equipping students with the skills to create site-specific AR interventions that not only transform public spaces but also unlock historically important, unseen, or politically relevant layers of these spaces. The course covers storytelling techniques, audio recording and editing, and the use of Unity and other spatial tools for AR creation, equipping students with the skills to weave complex narratives into their AR projects. These narratives can bring to light the hidden histories, untold stories, and socio-political nuances of the chosen spaces, adding a depth of meaning and engagement to their work. Students will engage in a series of projects, culminating in a final project where they will create an interactive, immersive AR piece for a specific location on campus

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)
