This rigorous studio class will create works with LGBTQIA+ themes with an emphasis on cultural literacy, social responsibility, and conceptual problem-solving. We will create deeply personal images that tell a story - and seek connections between our world and the next.What does the future hold for us? Can it be beautiful? How can we create images powerful enough to create a bright future for everyone? For whom does this kind of freedom exist?Though readings and films will be recommended and queer art herstory will be examined (and critiqued), the focus here is on making. Each artist will be called upon to not only create a set of artworks but will be asked to present a solid concept, research, and writings in support of each illustrated work. Possibilities include: theater sets, paintings, drawings, costumes, posters, zines, mural designs, pop-up books, comics, and 3-D objects. Everyone is welcome here.
