A survey of fiber art processes and textile techniques used to create sculptural forms. This includes, but is not limited to, looping, knotting, dying, hand and machine sewing, and woven and non-woven structures. This course focuses on experimentation with materials, while using history and theory to guide research. Nine studio hours per week. May be repeatable up to six credit hours when identified under a different subtitle.

Building on the skills developed in A-S 350, this course emphasizes development of conceptual and technical skills using textile techniques to guide research and build sculpture. Nine studio hours per week. May be repeatable up to six credit hours when identified under a different subtitle.

Emphasis is placed on learning diverse 3D techniques, tools and materials as students create sculptures dealing with movement, emotions, narrative and non-objective/abstract subject matters. Sculptural concepts are explored through individual research, critical discussions and art production. Students experiment with mixed-media, and surface finishing.

Art Studio 360 is an introductory course in metal working skills, techniques and processes for producing sculptural forms based on traditional and contemporary ideas. Primary emphasis is placed on metal shop orientation: fabrication, forging and non-traditional materials and surfaces. Sculptural concepts are explored through individual research, critical discussions and art production.

Art Studio 361 is an introductory course in metal working skills, techniques and processes for producing sculptural forms based on traditional and contemporary ideas.

Introductory studio experience to a variety of ceramic materials and processes. Nine studio hours per week.

A continuation of A-S 370. Nine studio hours per week.

A-S 380 is an introductory course in photography. Although it provides a thorough background in basic techniques that students may apply to any discipline, its primary emphasis is upon the practice of the medium as a fine art. Students receive technical instruction in camera and lens construction, exposure controls, processing of black and white negatives and prints, and presentation. Studio, nine hours per week.

A-S 381 is a continuation of A-S 380. The emphasis is upon refining visual perception and basic photographic skills with an introduction to some of the more advanced techniques of black and white photography. Students receive technical instruction in the Zone System, archival processing, toning, and presentation. Studio, nine hours per week.

An intermediate level course designed to help students integrate traditional photography with digital computer imaging tools such as Adobe Photoshop or like program. Students are required to produce original photographic imagery for use in creating digital artwork output to printed material with inkjet printers. Advanced methods of input and output calibration, as well as advanced methods of image manipulation, are covered. Emphasis is placed on the aesthetics and ethics of digital photographic art and creating meaningful and effective images. Nine studio hours per week.
