Description
The Spring semester is divided into three five-week sessions (3 credit hours each), during which a series of themed workshops is offered. Each workshop session reinforces one of the programmatic areas of inquiry from the Fall semester (Perception + Observation, Visual Forces, and Form + Space) and introduces Time, Motion, and Expanded Media as an additional curricular unit for focused study. Students choose from the workshop topics and can more individually shape how they pursue their interests. While workshop themes change from year to year, some of the underlying creative processes often include figurative drawing, portrait painting, stop-motion animation, character design, sculptural installation, digital filmmaking, and ceramic form-building, to name just a few. Students are also oriented to the Beals Studios for Arts and Technology in Foundation Studio II. This course is equivalent to FOUN 110.
