This studio course focuses on the interplay of word and image in contemporary visual art practice. There is an extensive history of the relationship between text and visuals, ranging from the Dada movement to contemporary social media platforms. Throughout this course, we will utilize observational methods and visual concepts that are fundamental to describing, analyzing and manipulating two-dimensional imagery through various mediums, including drawing, printmaking, photography, bookmaking, and sculpture. You will explore the elements of visual language, including typography, photography and graphic production in the creation of meaningful artworks that touch on the fundamentals of your studio practice. Through readings, discussions, written presentations, critiques and studio projects, you will investigate the structure of visual and written language.
