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.

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.

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.
