Term: Fall
Day/time: Thursday 14:00-18:00
Room: EV 5-825
Instructor: David Pariser
Topic: Developing a visual commentary on the city of your choice 

This is a graduate studio course, and as such it is designed to offer you the maximum opportunity to do a lot of hands-on work in the medium/media of your choice. Much of your “hands-on work” will take place outside of class hours. There are several reasons for this- 1) In all likelihood students in this class will have varied preferred media. 2) Your choice of city will be the first problem that you need to solve.  If the city you choose is the one you are presently living in, you can expect to spend some time on site, making notes and observations that will inform your final work. 3) Class time will be spent with presentations/ discussions , screening two films that deal with cities,  and offering comments on  your fellow students’ work –in progress. There may be occasional readings - but this is not an academic course - and as such, the emphasis is on making art. Assignments: There will be two visual responses to two films and for the final assignment,  each student will make a major visual presentation on the city that they have chosen.
