Description
NOTE: For Painting majors, elective instructor cannot be the same as studio instructor.
This course serves to explore the power and meanings behind what we choose to celebrate and how we choose to do so. Students will consider the role of materials, subject, scale, series and process as they relate to a viewer's experience. Three thematic prompts will be given, "the sacred", "the pivotal", and "the sublime" to consider what kinds of celebratory histories precede them and are active now. Students will be encouraged to expand upon or deviate from their major studio activities in this course. Celebratory Drawing will ask students to consider what features of their life/history are work celebrating in the most serious, humorous or mysterious manners.
