VSAR 406 - Installation Art

Units: 3

Installation art creates meaning through the interaction of various elements (objects, images, projections, etc.) with each other and their surrounding place. This hands-on studio course serves as an introduction to the history of installation and site-specific art. Students will be encouraged to experiment with multimedia approaches often employed in contemporary installations. At least one Lower-Division and one upper-division course in studio art and/or art and technology is recommended. Fieldtrips outside of class may be required. Course meets for four hours per week.
