COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will be an introduction to the language of visual expression using studio exercises, collage, and pattern making as a method to explore the fundamental principles of visual arts. This course will have an emphasis on experimentation, collaboration, gathering, collecting, and reflection. You will be asked to think through processes and materials rather than focusing solely on an end product. Students will work with basic materials, found materials, their everyday environments, and learn some Photoshop skills to expand on their pattern-collages. Through various assignments, students will yield multiple meanings and compose subversive juxtapositions in their making. Regardless of your area of study, all students will be asked and expected to find their own use and inspiration for making.
