DescriptionInterdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into his or her upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.Section DescriptionDiachronic is about our visual relationship to the past in any medium of choice. Across ceramics, architecture, fashion design and fiber arts, sculpture, furniture, metalwork, jewelery and more, students will apply their skills across multiple studio disciplines to explore their relationship to two or more time periods in history at a time. Purely visual, unmediated by production of text as authors, the students will "write" new interactive art histories in mixed media. Beyond Art History, this course will take theories and methods from Visual Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Archaeology, and History more broadly to think and publish in new materials. Digital media as well as analogue tactile forms produce new modes not only of understanding the visual past but also of critiquing history and historiography as never before.This section has three class meetings in San Francisco.
