ART 7A - WEEK 1
THE SYLLABUS ESSENTIALS
Let's break it down.
OBJECTIVES
In this course, you will explore the flexing boundaries between art and life – creating, evaluating, participating with, and experiencing methods of making meaning. You will explore the rituals of everyday life – its daily habits, decisions, costumes, and methods of understanding, processing, and interacting with the world.
Through lectures and non-traditional assignments, you will navigate the reservoirs of your own voices, actions, memory, and visual & conceptual focus in relation to the larger realms and resources of sight, sound, touch, attention, movement, direction, idea, and history.
JOURNAL / SUPPLIES
You will need a sketchbook dedicated to this class. We'll be using it to complete regular journal entries.
(More on this next class.)
When it comes to projects, it's up to you what media you'd like to use! Make the work that you want to make.
10 weeks – It's gonna go fast!
GRADING
In-class warm-ups, journal entries, projects, attendance,
and a little bit of reading.
Your grade will be determined by the success, ingenuity, and originality of your artwork, the quality of your journal, as well as your classroom presence.
(Psst!...don't forget...participation counts!
Be sure to engage in our discussions and critiques!)
