2D MIXED MEDIA--This course focuses on your ability to generate ideas and execute a strong and significant body of work in 2D mixed media. As an advanced student you are expected to reach some conclusion about the direction of your work and want to produce and develop your work. Research and experimentation in medium and process is expected along with developing ideas and exploring content and expression. Periodic writing will be required to support your creative research. There is a long history of 2D artists mixing materials and generating more than meets the eye. Materials, process and content will be discussed with emphasis on mixing and integrating orthodox and unorthodox mediums as a way to develop image making that goes beyond the ordinary. Medium process will be discussed but instruction in learning a medium (techniques) will generally not be covered. A variety of critique formats will be maintained weekly along with periodic slide lectures and discussions on artists and critical articles. Where does 2-D end and 3-D begin and have you heard of the talking 2-D work or the 2-D performance, or the flat tube? This course is about engaging in the mixing/combining of 2-D work, including installation, site consideration and other potential mediums. Course pre-requisites are 60-150, 60-151, and 60-250 (2D1, 2D2, and 2D3).
