This is a medium and process-specific course that works in tandem with a cross-disciplinary Core Seminar. Students will employ readily accessible materials and develop skills necessary to safely create artwork in a domestic setting. This course provides a comprehensive package in which students can develop practical and critical faculties via lectures, demonstrations and critiques. This section of Core Studio 1: 3D will use the lens of “recycling” to engage with the materials readily found around us to repurpose and reimagine them. Students will draw inspiration from their environment and contemporary culture, while being attentive to the ethics and politics of reusing materials. This class will explore new approaches to materials, look at means of processing, and continue to build fabrication skills. Students are encouraged to address any given assignment through a personal lense: from concept, materials, installation, sourcing to fabrication, and critique. Making Center access will be based on Covid 19 protocols and optional, if available.

Core Studio 1: 3D will offer students an exploration of the fundamentals of 3-dimensional media using a range of materials to explore objects and space. This section of Core Studio 1: 3D will allow for a distinct focus on basic techniques and methodologies within 3D media: materials, form, space and installation taking into account student’s domestic settings and remote learning. Students are encouraged to address assignments through a range of artistic realization: from concept and material sourcing to fabrication and critique to develop a personal voice. This Core Studio will allow students to explore technical knowledge through online orientations, tech support and video tutorials. Course work will also be supplemented through integrated readings to understand the history of 3D media. Making Center access will be based on Covid 19 protocols and optional, if available.

Core Studio 1: 3D will offer students across 15 weeks an exploration into the fundamentals of 3-dimensional media. This course investigates a delimited but non-prescriptive constellation of elements foundational to the aesthetic and material operations of objecthood and space. Different sections of Core Lab 1: 3D offered within semesters will allow for a distinct focus on basic techniques and methodologies within 3D media: materials, form, space and installation. From here students are encouraged to address any given assignment through a range of artistic realization: from concept and materials sourcing to fabrication and critique. This Core Lab will also allow students to explore technical knowledge and facility in tandem with the history of 3D media, through integrated readings.
