65. Architecture I

A disciplined development of skills needed to communicate architectural ideas. Such factors as climate, site, orientation, program, materials and structure are studied in the process of designing structures and buildings. The course will concentrate on developing the students' ability to translate architectural concepts into two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations. Problems will involve free-hand drawing, the use of architectural drafting tools, and model-making. Along with more traditional media, the computer will also be used as a design tool.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 15. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Kawiaka, Wilson.

66. Architecture II

Students will continue their study of architectural design by exploring the manipulation of space, light, and time in the creation of architecture, often through real life projects. Problems will be undertaken to encourage experimentation with architectural vocabulary and language as expressed through drawings, models, and the use of new technology. Contextual, cultural, economic, and technological conditions will be discussed in relationship to designs. Review of student work will take the form of presentations made to the class and guest critics.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 65. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Auten, Kawiaka.

68. Architecture III

As an extension of Intermediate Architecture, this course will offer advanced students the opportunity to explore architectural design issues in more depth. Students will use analytical and expressive skills developed in previous coursework to undertake more complex and thorough investigations in architecture. Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 66. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Auten, Kawiaka.

76. Senior Seminar I

The first half of the two-term culminating experience in Studio Art. The seminar is devoted to developing critical skills and a body of work predicated upon a student’s ability to conceive, structure, sustain, and resolve an individual course of study in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, or architecture. Work will be reviewed by the faculty and an outside examiner.
Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.

77. Senior Seminar II

A continuation of Studio Art 76, with the additional expectation that each student will present at the conclusion of the term the body of work which will be his/her thesis. The thesis must be judged by the Studio Art faculty to be technically and aesthetically sound. From this work a selection will be made for the senior exhibition. Continuous individual and group critiques will be given of student work by the principal instructor, Department faculty, and visiting artists.
Prerequisites: Studio Art 76. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.

90. Independent Study All terms: Arrange
Students who have completed all levels of instruction within a given area may propose and carry out an independent project in that area. This project must be supported and supervised by a faculty member. The project proposal must be submitted in writing and approved by the Chair.
Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. The staff.
