Intensive January term courses

DART Courses
DART courses aim to serve as a catalyst for cross-school collaboration. They begin when two faculty members from diverse disciplines design a one-month intensive course that explores the creative process at the intersections of design, art, and technology.

Held each year over the course of January term, DART courses give up to ten Division II students the opportunity to work together with faculty in the development of a single, large-scale artistic work.

January 2010
Design, Art, and Technology: Creating an Empathetic Space Over the course of the January term students will explore the cognitive and social relationships we build in the utilitarian spaces of everyday life by reimagining our personal connections to place. Utilizing a variety of interactive arts technologies, students will work as a group with the faculty to transform a space on the college campus into an interactive, empathetic environment.

This course is limited to ten Division II students. Instructor permission is required. Contact the DART Program Office to learn how to obtain instructor permission.
