Description:
What do we desire or gives us pleasure, and what do we want, or even need? this course explores the history of this search for happiness and meaning through the process of making, interacting and reflecting on artistic practices. we will look at various mediums of the visual and verbal arts through time and across cultures, and consider terms and concepts such as eudemonia, hedonism, and the erotic. how has your work and your way of being intersected with any of these pursuits and been conveyed through the triadic relationship of your own self, to your body of work, and its audience? we will unpack the idea and articulation of "feeling" and consider the place in which it happens, and the complexities of what that feeling says about who we are as individuals and as a collective.
