In this course, you will explore the origins of your materials and how different kinds of matter can constitute meaning in the making of artworks. You will experiment with ephemeral forms and approaches to making that extend beyond the use of shop bought art materials and develop projects that expand your practice beyond the studio and gallery settings. You will be introduced to contemporary artists working with a range of processes and will have the opportunity to put these methods into practice within self-directed projects. Projects will encourage processes of documentation and reflection to inform and extend your studio work.?
