Course overview
This studio course introduces students to the repurposing of everyday images, found objects, materials, media, spaces, and situations for the creation of artworks. The forms of collage, assemblage, bricolage, ready-mades, hacks, mashups, installations, and happenings produced will be explored as vehicles for low-stakes experimentation, and as critical modes with the capacity to reframe the world and its systems. Through this, students will be invited to reflect on the value of constraints and conceptual and material investigations for the generation of creative ideas and be introduced to the iterative, practice-based research methods used in subsequent courses in the Fine Arts program.
