ART NEW YORK
ART NEW YORK
Field Studio
Art New York Field Studio (SA/AH 300) will utilize the resources of New York City as a starting point for creative production, providing a platform to think about and experience art from the maker perspective. This course aligns itself with students who are more intrigued by the word ‘artist’ than ‘painter,’ ‘photographer,’ or ‘drawer’. It is an inter/multi/trans-disciplinary course which emphasizes making/thinking outside of traditional artistic disciplinary boundaries. It is designed to help us collectively investigate art making in the context of New York City. Projects will take students outside into the city to make art with a rotating variety of media, including, but not limited to, photography, video, sound, drawing, painting, printmaking, and installation, with an emphasis on collaboration. Class time will be devoted to workshops, presentations, production, group critiques, and individual meetings.

Project 1, 2, and 3
How Can We Materialize Our Space?
Projects 1, 2, and 3 are a series of projects embodied through your exploration of and interaction with NYC. Projects 1 and 2 involve the act of walking and navigating as artistic practices and processes, manifested in the creation of maps as an art form. Multiple mediums are utilized to represent the space through a personalized language and expression. By incorporating the materials from Projects 1 and 2, you will then create a work of art in a new form for Project 3, without any limitations on medium and scale.
