ART 100 LB Foundations

Professor: L. Battle

CRN: 91836 Distribution: F

Time: Th 1:30 pm 4:30 pm

Found images will be juxtaposed, overlayed, manipulated, deconstructed and reconstructed in order to introduce students to the profound effect that presentation, organization and medium have on meaning in a work of art. Low-tech processes such as xeroxing and transfer printing will be used. Students should begin collecting an "image bank" upon enrollment.

ART 100 ACH Foundations: Constructing a Picture

Syllabus

Professor: A. Cheng

CRN: 91838 Distribution: F

Time: Th 9:30 am 12:30 pm

This section of Foundations will use collage techniques to teach students to compose with found materials. Students will be introduced to simple printmaking and xerox transfer techniques. The premise of this course is to show students how to construct artwork without necessarily having to draw or paint it. The course aims to awaken in students a feel for materials and an understanding of the formal elements of composition.

ART 100 AG Foundations: Image and Identity

Professor: A. Gibbons

CRN: 91890 Distribution: F

Time: M 1:30 pm 4:30 pm

Drawing and construction of utilitarian objects as a way to understand the nature of illusion and the reality of the object. Students will design and build a spoon, chair and personal shelter. This course is open to all students and is a requirement for all prospective art majors. There is no requirement of ability nor prior knowledge nor experience, only a serious commitment to discovering the resources of visual art, its practice and history.

ART 100 BG Foundations

Professor: B. Greenwald

CRN: 91842 Distribution: F

Time:M 9:30 am 12:30 pm

An exploration of visual language through the making and study of images - photographic, drawn, printed, painted, and modeled in three dimensions. The course is open to all students and is a requirement for all prospective art majors. There is no requirement of ability or prior knowledge or experience, only a serious commitment to discovering the resources of visual art, its practice and history.

ART 100 ES Foundations: Image Identity & Implicative 3D Emphasis

Professor: E. Smith

CRN: 91849 Distribution: F

Time: F 9:30 am 12:30 pm

This course will be a variation on the Image Identity course with building emphasis. It will attempt to show the power and persuasiveness of the object. It will oppose the quick accumulation of images to create meaning such as television and advertising. Its emphasis will be on internal invention. The course will demonstrate that internal invention is a continual renewable resource and the basis for all artistic progress and discovery. It will also show how the implication of images can be seen and developed.

Professor: A. Cote

CRN: 91841 Distribution: F
