What does it mean to wander? How can we capture and format our “being in the world” as visual storytelling?
Structured as a combined studio and seminar forum, this 6-week course invites students to explore the physical experience of place. Open to artists of any medium and skill level, the class will examine the concept of embodied experience and work to coax narrative from the process of observing and capturing content. Through experimental exercises, students will step outside their comfort zones and hone in on image-making ideas that align with and expand their artistic practices.
Particularly suited for artists seeking to generate new ideas and/or deepen their engagement with existing themes, this course integrates research, readings, examples from contemporary art history, creative prompts, and slow, contemplative walking. Participants will explore various formats for sequential art practices, culminating in a final presentation of a completed work. Possible outcomes include collages, prints, photobook mockups, performative actions, or photo/moving-image slideshows.
