There are still seats left in these exciting special topics courses, ARTD 499. These classes are great for students interested in putting their creative mind to work in unique ways—plus they’re just exciting topics with even better professors! Read on to learn more:
ARTD 499 section CAU, CRN 53743 | TR 2-4:40 | Prof. Araujo de Aguiar
Topic: Nexus of Tomorrow: Navigating Speculative Design & Social Impact. This course explores the nexus of speculative design and societal impacts of tech advancements, focusing not just on future artifacts, but the societies that will use them.
ARTD 499 section MBU, CRN 59100 | MW 4-6:40 | Prof. Briggs
Interactive Print: Advanced engagement with typographic systems and word-image dialectics in historic and contemporary print media. This hybrid studio/seminar* course surveys immersive and interactive rhetorics in books, maps, posters and wheel charts since 1450 and invites students to identify historic exemplars, research their cultural and technological disposition, analyze their immersive and interactive features, re-create them as facsimiles, and develop original works that build on their effects and interests. In so doing we will analyze the ongoing role of print media in shaping built and social space, and in shaping digital artifacts and systems.
ARTD 499 section SR, CRN 60101 | TR 2-4:40 | Prof. Robinson
Illustration: Afrofuturism, Black Futures Now. In this studio course, students will create imagined futures where Black people share political, environmental, and economic resources equally with all people. After that students will create an individualized self-identification project encompassing one or more of three main ideas: their personal narrative, their family culture, their intellectual property. Students will work in a variety of medium with an additional layer of media: music, performance, animation, motion, new media, etc. To help us think through these ideas we will watch a wide range of movies, and documentaries while exploring various readings and converse with guest speakers who are professionals in their fields. Students will develop their projects for exhibition, publication, online postings, etc. This course is open to undergraduates and graduate students.
