Art Studio

This theoretical and practical course explores the concept of character creation through costume design. It discusses techniques, processes and staging, and elements and accessories to match the wardrobe to the character.

Combining theory and practice, this course offers an introduction to sound art. Topics include: sound generation and sound object; soundscape and listening modes; recording and creative editing; installation and sound action.

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.
