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.As we look to an uncertain future, many of the dynamic forces at play in Iceland offer valuable insights into coexisting with nature, creative problem solving, and living with a deep artistic engagement. As visitors, as artists and designers, how can we channel, observe, and participate in this rhythm of change, destruction, and regeneration? How does it shape what we make, the conversations we have, and the relationships we form?While students are encouraged to initiate and pursue individual lines of inquiry through exploring, journaling, and researching, a variety of prompts are also provided that center on direct observation and perception of the surrounding natural environment. All majors are welcome and final projects will be open to accommodate a variety of approaches, interests and site-specific responses to this incredible land.May 28: Required Zoom program meetingIn Iceland June 3-June 22
