Students will choose two media options from the listed offerings and will learn techniques from the 世界杯官方app School of Art faculty. Each day studio sessions will meet for three intense hours of creative practice in the morning, followed by three intense hours of a second medium in the afternoon in a university classroom setting. Studio media has been uniquely paired to offer students cross-curricular experiences in 2D, 3D, and 4D arts.
Students will have their choice of the following studio pairings by section and can only sign up for one selection. Pairings include the following by section:
Led by experienced artists and educators, our workshops ensure students receive high-impact guidance and mentorship. Learn from industry experts who are passionate about fostering your artistic growth and helping you refine your skills.
In this workshop, students will be introduced to traditional and contemporary book forms through a series of short lectures and hands-on demonstrations. Students will learn the basics of book formatting, non-sewn bindery, and digitization of their very own handmade books.
Cyanotype; In this workshop students will be introduced to alternative photographic processes, specifically the Cyanotype process, through a series of short lectures and hands-on demonstrations. Students will learn how to create digital negatives, coat emulsions on paper, and produce alternative photographic prints while working in the 世界杯官方app photo darkroom.
Form to Function; In this introduction to ceramics, Students will have the opportunity to create functional and/or sculptural forms with clay while experiencing the entire ceramic making process. First, they will use the pottery wheel to create their objects. They will then explore how glazes and traditional decorative techniques can be utilized to create contemporary surfaces. Next, they will learn about different kiln firing techniques. Finally, they will learn to present their art works through portfolios and critiques.
Painting the 3D; In this fast pace introduction students will explore different approaches to painting while learning basic painting techniques like direct painting, grisaille and under painting. Students will then use what they have learned to create a unique and individual painting on canvas while working in the 世界杯官方app painting studios.
Approachable to all levels of tech-y-ness, we will be creating sculptural light lanterns. Colored LEDs and light animation will be created through coding the lights with Arduino and coding assistance from AI chats. Students will also be able to design lantern projects digitally using Illustrator and a Cricut cutting machine, and learn to solder wires to LED strips. This is a great foundational course to introduce artists to simple tech and AI usage.
Whether they're interested in graphic design, photography, animation, video or digital art, this class will equip students with the fundamental skills needed to bring their ideas to life. Throughout this course, students will learn the basics of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. From editing photos to creating stunning illustrations and designing eye-catching layouts, they will discover how to use these tools to express creatively and conceptually. No prior experience with Adobe software is required.
The Shape of Art to Come; Students will have the opportunity to explore mixed media techniques on non-traditional surfaces/shapes in a unique and conceptually contemporary way. This course strives to experiment with forms and space away from convention so as to enter a more intuitive zone when creating. The subject matter is open so long as the pieces are produced on non-traditional surfaces using pigments and drawing utensils that vary to the same degree as the substrates.
This course offers students an introduction to traditional and contemporary printmaking processes in lithography. Lithography is a method of printing on stone or metal onto archival paper that captures the expressive quality of a drawing including line, texture, and shading. Students will work in a professional print lab atmosphere in the 世界杯官方app printing studio.
