Faculty-sponsored research projects for Art History and Visual Studies Majors, leading to an Honors Thesis. Enrollment is offered only to outstanding undergraduate majors with a project in progress, including students who are accepted into the University Scholars Program. Topics to be determined.
This course provides fundamental instruction in software as a creative tool for image making. Students will learn the basics of digital collage and drawing through use of software and formal qualities of composition. Lectures about the varied digital art practices will provide an overview of historical and contemporary digital art practice. This studio course is essential for any student who wants to visually communicate in art studio, design, digital media and art education. (Four studio hours, and one 50-minute lecture per week.).
A-S 103 is an introductory course in compositional strategies within spatial forms for sculptural practices. This studio course is essential for any student who wants to visually communicate in art studio, design, digital media and art education. Students will work with a variety of contemporary art/design materials and approaches, while learning and integrating the basic vocabulary of composition in art and design. These works will be informed by a wide variety of contemporary artists and designers.

A-S 130 is an introductory studio course focused on drawing through observation. Students learn the mechanisms of visual perception, how individual components of a drawing relate to the organization of the composition as a whole. Each student develops not only observational skills rooted in traditional drawing media for realistic renderings, but also gradually builds strategies, concepts, and ideas for abstraction. Students will advance their knowledge of light, tones, composition and increase their ability to see and perceive the world around them.
