| Description | The significance of artistic practice aims beyond the artist's capability to create an illusion of reality. Art is teaching us to reinterpret the world and develop utopias. This course offered students a means to explore abstraction and non-representational painting and also investigated the indistinct border between painting and installation art. Students were encouraged - through readings, digital image lectures, and assignments - to develop an individual approach to the subject matter. This course addressed issues such as alternative methods of image making, composition and color theory, while exploring transcultural abstract art in its various manifestations. We also investigateed abstract art in relation to political activism. This course was open to students who completed a studio-art/film course on an introductory level in addition to an art theory course. |
