This seminar is offered in conjunction with the annual "Arts Immersion" trip to New York that takes place over the spring break and is organized by the Stanford Arts Institute (SAI). Enrollment in this course is a requirement for taking part in the spring break trip. The program is designed to provide a group of students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cultural life of New York City guided by faculty and SAI staff. Students will experience a broad range and variety of art forms (visual arts, theater, opera, dance, etc.) and will meet with prominent arts administrators and practitioners, some of whom are Stanford alumni. In the seminar, we will prepare for the diverse experiences the trip affords and develop individual projects related to particular works of art, exhibitions, and performances that we'll encounter in person during our stay in New York.

Class time will be divided between readings, presentations, and one studio-based creative project. The urban setting in which the various forms of art are created, presented, and received will form a special point of focus. A principal aim of the seminar will be to develop aesthetic sensibilities through writing critically about the art that interests and engages us and making art.

ARTSTUDI 121: Printer as Artist as Printer
In this introductory course, students will develop a technical foundation in etching, allowing them to create and edition original intaglio prints. With a conceptual emphasis on print as a fundamentally and historically collaborative medium, students will first learn the skills needed to produce their own etchings, then will work in groups to assist each other in the process of creating an editioned artist's print. Course instruction will guide students through the process of designing an image, translating it into the marks and gestures available through etching, and producing a clean and consistent edition. Class time will consist of presentations, demonstrations, critique, and instructor-assisted work time.
