DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to occupy a space? How do artists represent their experience and/or relationship to place? Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and its surroundings will become source material for students to build a body of work exploring these questions. Students will conduct field studies and develop a personal archive of objects, photographs, and sketches that will guide their project over the semester. This course will focus on experimentation through visual language. Mark making, color, composition, shape, line and material will be understood as forms for expression. This is a two-dimensional mixed media course, focusing on collage, drawing, and painting. However, students are encouraged to introduce other media into their practice such as photography, performance, or video if they have prior experience in those fields.
