Foundations 103 is an intensive; 16-week, workshop-style course that explores more advanced notions of color theory and image-making. This second semester of the two-semester Foundations sequence is more acutely focused on research's role in a student's work and their individual artistic voice. While still staying true to Alfred Foundations' embodied studio art curriculum; Spring Foundations courses require students to further consider their personal role within the contemporary art world.
Foundations 103 addresses color across media; looking to ideas centered in traditional color theory while exploring more contemporary and experimental applications of color. The course also challenges students to enhance image literacy through image creation; image appropriation; and transformative aspects of imagery using a wide range of research skills and daily practice.
Students will learn to utilize color and image to approach narrative as well as formal and conceptual ideas within art-making, while learning a wide range of processes including color mixing, painting, printmaking, and photography
