Course Objectives
Students in this course explore the various aspects of site-specific works, installations, environmental work, and sometimes preparation of models for an exhibition or commission. Preparatory work includes research about artists and methods of art creation, slide presentations by faculty and students, video presentations, and gallery or museum visits. The objective of the class is to have students actively participate in the process of creating art work that is contextually integrated in the environment for which it was developed. Assessment of overall accomplishments is formulated during intense discussion at studio critiques occurring regularly throughout the semester. Students and instructor interact as a group during these critiques.
Topical Outline
Usually students create one or two works for this class. Preliminary research may include photography, digital imaging, traditional drawing, model creation. Written proposals can be included in the process of development of ideas. Ultimately, one or two installations are completed by students individually or in collaboration.
