Part of the foundations core. Students explore different theories of creativity, examine the practices of contemporary creative thinkers, and learn skills required to successfully apply Creative Strategies in their lives. Through practical and theoretical applications, including both dialogue and art-making practice, students investigate the fundamentals of two-dimensional design and are exposed to the visual language and conceptual underpinnings that surround art and design. This course presents students with the tools to deal with visual materials in a knowledgeable and critical way, to obtain insight into the making and consuming of images, and to understand their historical and theoretical basis. Prerequisite: Admission to the department upon portfolio review or declared major in Art History and Criticism

Introduces conceptual, historical, and practical bases of photography as used in art practice. Students begin to understand and interpret photographic imagery, practice critical thinking, and discover the possibility of camera-made and constructed images. Lectures introduce the work of noted photographers and the evolution of aesthetics and theory associated with the history of the medium, examining the impact that the photographic image exerts in contemporary art. Through demonstration and hands-on activity, students learn the technical skills needed to use a 35mm manual camera, process black-and-white negatives, and make black-and-white prints.
Investigates the relationship between critical concepts and alternative processes, by addressing contemporary issues and photographic theories as they relate to studio practices. Students will learn to create images using alternative non-silver photographic processes including cyanotypes, Van Dyke Brown printing, the salted paper process, image transfers, cliché-verre, photograms, and a combination of mixed media. Emphasis is placed upon developing advanced concepts while promoting experimental strategies for creating and manipulating images. Prerequisites: ART 2715 and ART 2720, or PHOT 1000 and PHOT 2000, or permission of the instructor.
Examines performance art as an integral element in the development of the visual arts.
