SECTION DESCRIPTION

This studio course is an investigation in the act of making. We’ll begin the semester by looking at performance theory, linguistics, ornamentation, and replication to explore the “act,” and simultaneously use digital fabrication, material research and hand craft to explore the “making.” You will further expand on these ideas by applying lenses of your choice to develop your own methodologies and frameworks to situate your work within a larger conversation about making and graphic design. While our primary modes of making will be within the realm of digital fabrication (using the resources at CoWorks), we will also incorporate other modalities to explore the tensions between presenting information/concepts and performing design. Course meetings will range from group discussions, making and fabrication demonstrations, work time and critiques. This course is designed for the graphic design student who already has an established independent practice with strong research and conceptual interests. The class will culminate in a final project that will support, enhance or evolve your Graphic Design Degree Project or Thesis.

Estimated Cost of Materials: $125.00
