In this studio course we will examine ideas about expanded painting through the porosity of material practices, the handmade and digital, and ways in which artists work between forms, including the ability to translate various digital tools to working with formal issues in the studio (for example, video projection.) The course is structured as a making workshop that focuses on painting, form, and objectness. As a departure point, we will examine many different kinds of practices through the lens of painting, including sculpture, video, installation, and sound, and how these things intersect through expanded painting. Throughout the semester there will be a series of making workshops from invited guests and lecturers, providing new ideas and tools for students to work with. Each student will be encouraged to experiment with new forms, culminating in the proposal and realization of a final, individualized project presented at the end of the semester.

SECTION DESCRIPTION:This is a hands-on, project-based introduction to digital image creation for various modes of translation into painting, and for display in print and web. The course is designed to explore and develop personal work informed by digital images, sound, video and animation. With Adobe Photoshop, we will explore methods of production and presentation, based in a workflow between the computer lab and the painting studios. Students will gain knowledge of digital tools that will foster tactile research that feeds back into their studio projects. Students will learn to document their work, create an organized professional archive of their work, and digital portfolios that will be eventually submitted into VAULT at the end of their senior year.
