ARTS3150

This course explores the hybridization of painting, sculpture, and installation. The illusionary space and techniques of two dimensional media is combined and co-exists with three dimensional sculptural approaches. Students will discover their own solutions to painting in space. Formats for projects include wall constructions, wall paintings, object-based paintings, found objects, assemblage, reliefs, shaped paintings, floor works, and installations. The students will also explore a vast number of materials, and the technical problems and solutions that are possible. We will develop the verbal and analytical skills necessary to critically examine students' work. Historical and contemporary artists and concepts that are relevant to dimensional painting will also be introduced. Studio work outside of class is expected.
