Art | Experimental Design

This course is all about challenges! Students are given a material and a subject and challenged with constructing a 2- or 3-dimensional piece, emphasizing invention and creativity. The course will cover the fundamentals of design through experimenting, taking creative risks, practicing, receiving constructive feedback, reflecting, revising, and refining work. In this course students will use an amazing array of materials from LED lights and motors to discarded books and magazines, to cardboard boxes, wire, and fabric. Sketch books are kept throughout the term to jot down ideas and work on fun (and sometimes pretty funny) exercises.
