ARST 854 - Introduction to Art and Language

FC ARHU

4 credits
This course introduces students to the creative possibilities of combining text and image in contemporary media art. Through hands-on projects, students will experiment with integrating various uses of text, from prose to instructions, with images, projections, installations, and other forms. Readings and discussions will explore artists’ works that use language as a primary material, offering a historical and conceptual foundation that informs each student’s creative process. Emphasizing both technical skills and conceptual development, this course explores how language and visuals interact to convey meaning and engage with personal, social, and political spheres.
