Description:
In this course you will use life to create innovative art and design. CCA student teams will be paired with bioscience graduate students at Stanford University and other institutions. Through these teams, students will develop an understanding of the processes at work in bio-patterning, and learn how designers and artists can unlock the fascinating creative possibilities involved in bio-collaborations. We will explore some of the deeper patterning-schema that make the biological world so beautiful in a series of short studio projects. Other studio projects will involve living organisms, e.g., using multi-colored bacteria to paint with. The course will culminate in a final studio piece created with a living organism(s) that you choose.Upper Division Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into their 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.
