Course Description

This course has a $50 fee that will be charged the day after the Add Deadline for this quarter. Once the fee is assessed, it will not be refunded for any reason.

This experimental course explores contemporary art-making methods to translate affect, embodiment, and memory into compelling narratives. Students will collaborate to design and execute elaborate events, integrating elements such as lighting, performance, installation, and mixed media. These events, will be meticulously recorded and documented and will serve as the primary source material for creating a personal series of two-dimensional works, such as drawings or paintings.

Prerequisites: Completion of a foundational drawing or painting course (or equivalent experience). Applicants must submit a personal artist statement and a portfolio of 5 images to the instructor at kim_garcia@ucsb.edu.
