ARTS 109(S) Sculpture/New Genre: Junk in Your Trunk
This course is focused on exploring and interpreting two classic artistic themes: portraiture and landscape. Students will explore the idea that everyday objects and stories can become the materials and subjects from which art is made. Students will be asked to complete projects such as $1-store sculptures, with a maximum budget of $10 to produce a portrait of someone famous. Stories and interviews of people will also be collected by students to use as subjects for mapping landscapes. The course proposes that art can be made -and is made-anywhere from anything. Lab fee: $100.
Format: studio. Requirements: weekly studio assignments; active class participation.
