CRFT 310 Junior Studio I

College of Art, Media & Design School of Art

3 credits 90.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course

This is the first course in a four course sequence called the Commons. Students engage with issues and concepts relevant to artists who consider materiality and phenomenology as central to their art. This semester focuses on workmanship, as students consider aspects of handwork and tool use, intuitive making, design and planning, and elemental, tacit and haptic knowledge. Assignments combine studio practice with research and writing, readings, trips to galleries, studios and museums, lectures by visiting artists and critiques. While class time is primarily content-oriented and critique-based, students are expected to work in studio during and outside of class time. Junior Studio I is offered during the fall semester. In order to register for Junior Studio I, a student must have successfully completed their sophomore year of study at the University, or have permission from the Program Coordinator.

This course is not repeatable for credit.
