Avatar has two distinct meanings. In Hinduism and Buddhism, it means the physical appearance of a god. Online, it means a picture of a person or an animal that represents a particular user. How do both definitions describe an identity that is distinct from the original and yet intensely connected to it at the same time? In Language Supported Integrative Studio 1, we will explore a range of visual, analytical, and making skills while working on projects that are collaborative and cross-disciplinary. We will work independently and in teams to explore research, prototyping, and the creative process. How do we make sense of our ideas, the information we collect, and our hunches and theories? And what can this inquiry tell us about why we make certain decisions as creative thinkers? The studio integrates learning from other first year courses, especially in thematic links to Integrative Seminar 1. At various times in the semester, the two classes share concepts and assignments, bringing together reading, writing, and making in a manner that is essential to the creative work of professional artists and designers. This Language Supported (LS) course is specially designed for students for whom English is a second language. LS courses have the same content as non-LS courses as well as extra attention to vocabulary, cultural references, and support for reading and writing. Students will engage with the materials in a supportive and dynamic learning environment as they become acclimated to American educational context, culture, and expectations. Parsons LS faculty possess training specific to both the content area and language support focus.

Fake describes something that is not what it appears to be. Counterfeit bags, forged money, stage names, mockumentaries, pranking, the list goes on. But how do we define what is real and what is fake? Could something fake actually be more powerful, more authentic, than truth? Language Supported Integrative Seminar 1 has two important goals. First, it will prepare students to read and write at the university level. Throughout the semester, we will work toward scholarly questions as we acquire the authority needed to write our way into existing intellectual conversations. Second, its relationship with Language Supported Integrative Studio 1 will result in critical dialogues between seminar and studio practice, or writing and making. This course shares a common theme with Integrative Studio 1 and at various times in the semester, the two classes share ideas, concepts, and assignments through bridge topics.
