Art Studio

In this course students work hands-on with silk screen to create original prints. This course allows for a combination of media such as Photoshop, design, and drawing to be used in making work. Projects allow for different techniques and hands-on experience and range from prints to small booklets to printing onto fabric.

This course uses notable historical and contemporary case studies from art schools as the basis for a series of workshops and seminars. During the course students work with peers to collectively investigate what you learn in art school and how you learn it. You are asked to critically reflect on your own experiences in art school in relation to the educational turn in art practice and the contemporary visual culture theories that have supported it. The course culminates in you proposing your own new art education models.

This course deals with experience. What is it to experience the material world? The course considers how our experiences are conditioned through multiple senses. Whilst the visual realm is, for many, still the fundamental way in which we experience the world this cannot be separated from the intermingling of all senses. In taking this position the course sets out to examine the complex relationships between the different senses and how these affect our engagement with the world around us. With a particular focus on material cultures the course employs a range of cultural contexts from art, architecture, design, sound, and the built environment. It explores these contexts through a variety of thematic approaches including (but not limited to): embodiment; hegemony of the visual; sounding objects; the olfactory imagination; touch and texture; immersive atmospheres; affect; mediated experience; rhythm analysis; creating the multi-sensory.
