Sculpture + Expanded Media Courses

Installation: Empire of the Senses

Course No. SEM 250-350-450  Credits: 3.0

Working with materials and methods not traditionally associated with the visual arts, installation breaks away from the singular object, the pedestal, the detached viewer. Visual lectures and presentations on recent work will include discussion on the nature of the work and its context. Studio work and additional presentations will focus on perception - how we understand the world through touch, sight, smell/taste, the sense of hearing and kinesthetic cues from muscles of the body. The information presented, student research and studio research will provide an environment of concepts and ideas to support and challenge each student’s work. Students will develop installations in line with their interests. 3 credits.
