Art Studio

In this studio course, students develop skills in the design, development, and production of furniture in one-off, batch, or mass production. Students gain an understanding of the theoretical, historical, and practical applications of the discipline and produce a project for a specific design context.

This course covers etching, aquatint, and soft varnish techniques, as well as other more elaborated techniques. During the sessions, each technique discussed is accompanied by a demonstration. Students work with a predefined theme throughout the semester and present a project that highlights the techniques discussed during the semester.

This course investigates how knowledge is embodied within artistic processes and artifacts. Students study the process of artistic research from artists producing knowledge avant la letter through to more scholarly approaches. The course acts as a bridge between art and more standard scholarly humanities research. This course is taught via a combination of lecture and seminar discussions with a greater emphasis placed on the discursive aspects of group discussion. This course may take place in standard lecture and seminar rooms but increasingly seeks alternate platforms for discussion of artistic research such as the studio, the walk, or the gallery. 

The computer graphics workshop allows students to have a real training in the use of creative tools in computer graphics. The course discusses the principles of modeling used to create objects, characters, and universes in 3D and their rendering in images. The objective is to be able to create a plastic universe by modeling objects in 3D.
