Cross-listed: Environmental & Urban Studies This course is an introduction
to digital image creation and manipulation for display in print and on screen.
With Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator at the center, we will explore the
possibilities of creating imagined and composite landscapes that are feasible
only through digital fabrication. As
inspiration we will look at the ways that human intervention has transformed
our physical world through garden design, suburban sprawl, urban grids, mining
sites, managed forests, zoos, constructed waterways and earthworks. In addition, we will survey a range of
contemporary artists who are wrestling with the human impact on our biosphere.
Coursework will foster a body of work consisting of on-line sketchbooks,
site-specific installation, digital collage, gifs, large scale printing and
laser cutting. These projects will emerge out of a series of exercises that
will build image making skills and establish a digital workflow. Class size: 12

In the age of You-Tube personalities, selfies, Instagram and applications such
as face-swap and bitmoji, it has become easier to
augment and craft our social identities shifting the way we relate to our
social environments—portraying different versions of our “live” self and our
“screen” self. Students who take this course will focus their time and energy
developing one performative project centered around
the exploration of technology and identity. Each individual will develop and investigate
a performance project which will culminate in a final performance viewing for
the class. As a group we will provide feedback on each other’s ideas. We will
create a social space where students will be able to explore our relationship
to gender, history (personal and cultural), alter-ego, celebrity, social
politics, and dream. Readings on and viewings of work could include Hito Steyerl, Laurie Anderson, Andy Warhol, Juliana Huxtable, Wu

Instruction
in this class emphasizes the acquisition of a basic visual vocabulary of
painting while recognizing a wide range of individual interests and strengths
among students. The students pursue
assignments that focus their attention on issues such as value contrast, warm
and cool contrast, creating tonality, understanding the expressive and
structural possibilities of the materiality of paint, as well as how all of
these elements factor in the composition of form and space. The projects are sequenced in a way that the
students move from a simple dialogue of light and dark and gradually begin to
incorporate a fuller range of elements from the vocabulary of painting during
the semester. Assignments are designed
to promote a recognition that expression in painting
is rooted in its form – color, light, materiality, composition, etc. While much of the work will be done from
observation - still life, landscape (weather permitting) and model - there will
be assignments that incorporate abstraction as well. There are no prerequisites
for this studio class. Estimated cost of
materials is $150-$200. *The Fund

such as color, form, paint application and composition, by utilizing local farms
as our classroom. We will begin the semester painting outside, on the farm, and
as the season turns, we will take food that we have harvested into the
classroom and make meals, sculptures and still-lifes
to paint from. There will be a class workday on the farm as well. Classroom
time will include demonstrations, studio work, slide lectures and group
critiques. Through instruction and practice, students will learn about the
formal elements of painting, while also exploring their individual style through
experimentation. Classroom critiques will promote student’s capacity for
dialogue about art. Additionally, knowledge of traditional, modern and
contemporary painting will be encouraged.

This is a hands-on, introductory
class that will introduce students to basic metal, wood, and other material
fabrication techniques as vehicles for exploring the magic of scale in a
sculptural vocabulary. The manipulation
of scale is as essential to a sculptor as the range of musical notes on a piano
are to a pianist. Working in a spectrum from miniature to the scale of
architecture and landscape, students will make a series of sculptural projects
that challenge and shift our perception of what is big, and what is small, what
is at the center, and what is at the margin, in our physical environment. The sculptural work of the class will be
complemented with a series of readings, PowerPoint presentations, and discussions
that investigate the manipulation of scale and perception by sculptors
throughout history. This class is

For
the artist, drawing is discovery. A line, an area of tone, is not really
important because it records what you have seen, but because of what it will
lead you on to see. (John Berger). During class time we will primarily work
from life and explore the tools that will aid in this discovery. Line, shape,
value, gesture, perspective, volume, composition and space form essential
drawing skills that create the basis for translating 3D into 2D. These
developing skills also translate conceptually and imaginatively into
discovering a voice of one’s own. Homework projects will be both based on
looking and imagining and employ a wide variety of
drawing materials. Significant work outside of class and a willingness to
participate in class critiques and discussions is a must. *The Fund for Visual Learning provides material support to

The
expansion of Art’s definition means that the terms used to categorize works of
art are often technically incorrect—e.g. film used to categorize films not shot
on the medium of film. These same terms point to the incredible proliferation
of tools and techniques that are becoming readily available to large segments
of the population. Through readings, critiques, and assignments we will explore
artistic practices that have stretched previous categories while creating new
categories— such as social practice, post-media, and post-internet art.
Extended Media 1 will be grounded in art historical precedents, but students
will be introduced to a number of recent technologies and working methods
outside the traditional narratives of painting and sculpture. Assignments and

individual and collaborative art projects engaging a range of skills,
disciplines, and approaches – from mapping to propaganda to public practice.

the plane can create light and space.
The issues discussed in Painting I, mainly the language of color, value,
temperature, contrast, saturation, intensity, etc. and strong structural
relationships, will serve as building blocks for complex figurative
compositions. We will be also working

palette and the required colors. Students will be working on gessoed paper over the first weeks but should know how to
stretch and prime a canvas properly.
Some of the poses will extend over two weeks, which will allow students
to begin to push their work into new places.

Senior
Seminar is a component of the senior project and is an integral part of the 8
credits earned for Senior Project. The Seminar focuses on the development of
the student as a thinking and working artist. This is accomplished through variety of
approaches. Presentations are made by visiting artists and Studio Arts faculty
who discuss their life and work.
Students develop a series of projects designed to aid them in
recognizing, conceptualizing, and articulating their particular artistic
interests. Presentations by alumni from the Bard studio arts program provide a
glimpse into the future; and, workshops on the photographing of art and website
development help the student prepare for life after Bard. Exhibitions in the
fall semester will draw students out of their studios well before the
presentation of their senior show. Required studio visits from faculty members
other than the project advisor insure fresh and varied responses to the ongoing
senior project. The Senior Project Exhibition is the culmination of the Senior year and is evaluated before a faculty review board
and a Senior Seminar critique. *Any
student registered in Studio Art Senior Project or any student of another
discipline who has been granted studio space in either the Fisher Studio Art
Center or the U.B.S. Exhibition Center in Red Hook will be required to register
and participate in all aspects of Senior Seminar. Class
