ART-3390: Art, Recycling, and Consumption

In this course students collect the by-products of their day-to-day consumption and then make art work with those materials, beginning with mapping their own usage; collecting materials and measuring waste. Students examine issues of toxicity and the ethical questions of utilizing more traditional media in the face of our current ecological crisis. Students make use of the data and/or the actual materials collected in the making of their art work. As this is a studio class, students work during class making constructions in the form of mapping, assemblage, collage and sculpture. This course takes students beyond the early foundational skills of art making into the more conceptual challenges of art making. It is by examining why artists use the materials they use, the impact of those choices that students can come to a conceptual premise for their work. Students learn to integrate form and subject.
