Foundations 104 is an intensive; 16-week workshop-style course that explores more advanced notions of form and fabrication, as well as time-based media. 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; these courses require students to further consider their personal role within the contemporary art world.Foundations 104 focuses on making four-dimensional artwork using traditional and experimental materials and methods, incorporating clay and plaster forming, woodworking, textiles, as well as sound and video projects. The class combines research, tools, and materials to explore conceptual
ideas along with design theory.
Students will be encouraged to broaden their vision and challenge their preconceived notions of artmaking.
