當代藝術與跨域設計

Google Meet joining info Video call link: https://meet.google.com/yuz-unwf-wia ━━━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━━━ This is an advanced course following Core Studio in Fine Arts 109B. This course is focused on systematically analyzing the common presence of fine art in daily life through old and new technologies, plus further applying such analysis to each student’s individual practices. The course is divided into six elements of learning nodes that are common in how we intake information nowadays, and is accompanied with texts written by artists and feminist and queer theorists, to encourage an overall deconstruction of the social norm we live in critically. The practical aspects of this class seek to firmly cultivate independent sense and sensibility in arts through contemporary art his(her)story, to accumulate visual critique abilities, and to explore uncharted territories of creativity in each student’s life.

No prerequisites required; some fundamental experiences in arts and a strong interest in exploring the socio-political context of contemporary fine arts preferred.

• The elements and principles of design

  The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a work of art. Elements of Art are the visual "tools" that artists use to create an art work - they are what makes up an image or an art object: line, shape/form, value, color, space, and texture. Principles of Design are the ways artists use the Elements of Art in an artwork - this is "what we do with the Elements" - how we arrange them, how we balance them, what is being emphasized, etc.

• Contemporary art his(her)story

  Art history doesn’t consist in simply listing all the art movements and placing them on a timeline. It is the study of objects of art considered within their time period. Studying the art of the past teaches us how people have seen themselves and their world, and how they want to show this to others. Art history provides a means by which we can understand our human past and its relationship to our present, because the act of making art is one of humanity's most ubiquitous activities.

• Conceptual art

  Conceptual art is art for which the idea (or concept) behind the work is more important than the finished art object. Artists associated with the Conceptual Art Movement attempted to bypass the increasingly commercialised art world by stressing thought processes and methods of production as the value of the work. The art forms they used were often intentionally those that do not produce a finished object such as a sculpture or painting. This meant that their work could not be easily bought and sold and did not need to be viewed in a formal gallery situation. It was not just the structures of the art world that many conceptual artists questioned, there was often a strong socio-political dimension to much of the work they produced, reflecting wider dissatisfaction with society and government policies.

• Art criticism

  Art criticism is responding to, interpreting meaning, and making critical judgments about specific works of art. Art critics help viewers perceive, interpret, and judge artworks. Art needs "something outside of itself as a place of reflection, discernment, and connection with the larger world. Art for art’s sake is fine, if you can get it. But then the connection to the real becomes tenuous, and the connection to the social disappears. If you want to engage, if you want discourse, you need criticism."
