UACC 242 Collaborative Studio: Body As Art, Body As Site

1.5 - 3 credits undefined hours
200 level undergraduate course

Where do the lines between adornment, fashion, costume, dance, theater, sculpture, and performance blur? How do each of these fields focus on and involve the body and utilize the body as a site for art to exist? This class will involve several studio assignments that delve deeper into this idea and will result in the creation of unique works that can be worn and performed. Collaboration, interaction, and skill-sharing between students on required assignments is highly encouraged to establish a bridge between the visual and performing arts and the ways in which both involve and explore a relationship with the body.

Collaborative Studio engages students in cross-disciplinary and collaborative processes, building links and connections across the disciplines through diverse cultural experiences, critical writing and discussion.
