Students investigate proprioception, haptic perception, and the physical relationship between the viewer and the sculptural object through technical mastery of life casting, armature construction, and surface manipulation.
A graduate-level investigation into the intersection of sculpture, archival research, and historiography, focusing on the ethical sourcing and conceptual recontextualization of found objects.
A graduate-level exploration of the 'post-digital' landscape in sculpture, bridging digital fabrication (3D scanning, printing, CNC) with traditional material practices. Students interrogate the relationship between the algorithmic and the handmade through a hybrid sculptural project.
A graduate-level sequence exploring the methodology of site-specific sculpture, focusing on spatial analysis, professional proposal development, phenomenology, and archival documentation.
An advanced graduate-level exploration of material agency, semiotics, and sculptural practice, bridging critical theory with rigorous studio fabrication.
This undergraduate sequence explores the conceptual and technical dimensions of Found Object Assemblage. Students move from semiotic analysis and material sourcing to advanced joinery techniques, culminating in site-specific installations that communicate complex social or personal narratives.
An intensive undergraduate sequence focusing on the additive process of clay modeling, from structural armature engineering to refined anatomical surface treatment. Students learn to translate organic complexity into volumetric reality through systematic build-up and planar analysis.
This graduate-level sequence explores the technical and psychological aspects of studio lighting. From the core physics of light fall-off to the complex blending of strobe and ambient sources, students learn to treat light as a sculptural tool for fine art, editorial, and product photography.
A graduate-level studio sequence focused on the transition from technical exercises to a cohesive, professional body of work. Students develop a thematic series, tackle the challenges of large-scale execution, engage in rigorous formal critiques, and curate a final presentation.
This advanced sequence for graduate students explores the deconstruction of classical composition through dynamic symmetry, edge tension, non-Euclidean perspective, and visual hierarchy. Students will move from rigid geometric analysis to 'anti-compositional' strategies to create contemporary, tension-filled imagery.
An intensive graduate-level investigation into the physics, psychology, and application of color in fine art, focusing on relativity, semiotics, and narrative.
A graduate-level exploration of the Renaissance through the lens of sociology, mathematics, and semiotics, examining how visual culture reorganized the Western worldview and asserted political power.
An undergraduate-level exploration of Renaissance art as visual rhetoric, focusing on mathematical perspective, patronage systems, and the shift from High Renaissance balance to Mannerist distortion. Students analyze how formal innovations served political and social agendas in Early Modern Europe.
This graduate-level sequence explores the avant-garde frontiers of music composition, focusing on indeterminacy, extended techniques, and graphic notation to redefine the composer-performer relationship.
A graduate-level sequence exploring visual hierarchy, information design, and cognitive psychology. Students learn to reduce cognitive load through data visualization, accessibility standards, and wayfinding systems.
This graduate-level sequence explores the strategic intersection of visual design and brand identity, moving from surface-level aesthetics to deep strategic systems. Students learn to translate organizational values into scalable visual assets, culminating in the creation of a professional brand standards manual.
An advanced exploration of typographic systems, from the mathematical precision of Modernist grid structures to the expressive potential of post-modern deconstruction and kinetic typography. Students master micro-typography, complex hierarchy, and structural integrity in both print and digital environments.
An advanced graduate-level sequence exploring the intersection of design theory and professional execution. Students deconstruct visual systems through semiotics, color psychology, grid theory, and vector precision to build comprehensive brand identities.
This sequence explores photography as a narrative medium for graduate students. It covers conceptualizing stories, capturing visual variety, the art of curation/sequencing, and the professional articulation of artistic intent through artist statements and portfolio defense.
A comprehensive graduate-level sequence on professional photography post-processing, covering non-destructive workflows, color grading, frequency separation retouching, compositing, and color management for print. Students will master the 'digital darkroom' while exploring the ethical boundaries between documentation and digital art.
A graduate-level exploration of visual aesthetics, psychology, and semiotics in photography, moving from classical composition to the intentional disruption of visual harmony.
A graduate-level technical sequence exploring the physics of digital sensors, ISO invariance, advanced optics, and raw data management. Students master the technical precision required to execute high-level artistic intent in photography.
