Picturing Global Media

In this course Students will first have to topically browse different media sources (internet and print media). Emphasizing composition and content, found pictures will then be transformed into studio art works. Students will be required to develop their studio work based Div II projects and to reflect on contemporary art. Through critiques, discussions, and written assignments, students will be guided to an understanding of the connections between idea, media, technique, scale, process, and content in their individual work. Films, and on-site visits supplement studio practice. Students will have to present one paper on an artist to be assigned. Prerequisite: This course is open to students with a filed Division II contract in any visual or interdisciplinary artistic field.
