This course explores a range of creative
processes to develop ways to connect thinking,
making, and writing in an art and design context.
Students will learn to contextualize projects in
social, political, ecological and personal ways
and engage in creative problem solving through
iteration, experimentation, improvisation, and
adapting to accidental discoveries as a generative
part of the creative process. Through
process-based learning and practice, students will
experiment with interdisciplinary explorations
framed by research skill development through
collaborative projects, peer reviews, discussions,
individual assignments, and critique-based studio
sessions. Students will produce multiple versions
of ideas from concept to content to creatively
solve problems while determining new ways to view
art + design practice overall.
