FYSP 138 - Art-Making as Research and Experiment

FC ARHU WINT
4 credits
This seminar challenges the romantic notion of the inspired, intuitive artist by approaching art-making from a research perspective: What kinds of questions and concepts are we exploring when we make art? What is the methodology of an artistic research project? How do we connect our work to society and culture more broadly? In the liberal arts, we value the connections our artistic interests have to other fields: politics, philosophy, history, and the sciences. In this course, we explore not only how critical reading, writing, and thinking practices will make us better artists, but also how art-making makes us better thinkers, readers, and writers. Though all students in the seminar will be required to produce three creative works(2D, 3D, and 4D)over the course of the semester, students are encouraged to connect these projects beyond ‘contemporary art’ and into other fields of interest.
