Description
NOTE: For Painting majors, elective instructor cannot be the same as studio instructor.
This studio elective will explore drawing concepts and materials pertinent to cultural, procedural and material systems. By examining the intersection between theme and variation, students will be exposed to the possibilities of how an artistic system can be built and used, and how this practice moves beyond or further enhances the common ground between figurative depiction and conceptual self-reference in drawing. Specifically, this course will emphasize how vision, time, the body and the use of new light and lens-based technologies can be tools for the artist to use in their own work. By exploring perception, mediation, artist games and collaborative projects, the class will also analyze the period from the late 1960s throughout the early 1970s and the corresponding emerging Post-Minimalist, conceptual and performative art movements, with a parallel focus on the 1920s School of Paris drawing st
