ARST 250 - Intermediate: Art as Research

FC ARHU

4 credits
All art is, in some way, a form of research, and the artist employs a range of research methodologies in the creative process. This class will look specifically at art-making practices that foreground research as a primary component of the creative process. Participants will view their scholarly research project as a premise that inspires multidisciplinary pieces of art and writing. We will look at archives, labs, and libraries as sites for creative production, and students will create multiple art pieces that give material and form to their scholarly ideas. This course was formerly taught as ARTS 093.

Prerequisites: two introductory courses (in any dimension).
