CMC: Language of Material

Course No. CMC201.1  Credits: 3
Faculty Brent Young | Gretchen Goss

As the sophomore Craft and Material Culture class matriculates to second semester, we will explore commonalities and differences in the language of each of our materials. Emphasis will be placed on the visual voice within each material, and in each materials process. This makes for interesting investigations/explorations within and across mediums. Historically then, are processes connected with the evolution of function? The class will explore inherent physical properties that may bring content and breadth to ideas born from the media itself. We will continue the process of research and ideation using these common themes, and explore through experimentation. Each studentÕs individual voice will begin to emerge. Fundamental techniques will be explored and practiced, stressing the practice of the maker. Idea-books /sketchbooks will continue to be worked on as an important part of the creative process. Offered spring. 3 credits.
