ART 419 Mixed Media
Mixed Media is designed to introduce students to the use of less traditional art materials to make objects with meaning. Considering that materials beyond their individual inherent strengths and weaknesses carry cultural meaning students will be challenged to identify and build with materials that support their ideas more precisely. This class explores the intersection of materials and meaning. Beginning with an overview on less traditional materials, fabric, found objects, premade objects, commercial materials, students will then work in materials of their choice and dimension to express personal narratives and complex and contemporary ideas.
