Learn to apply multimedia processes to create compelling sculptures and installations that are engaged with in various ways. Through creative experimentation, students have the opportunity to create interactive works of art- whether as environmental installations, wearable pieces, photographable structures, or pieces that are initiated through movement and action. Students are encouraged to bring personal items to work with, such as found/recycled materials, natural items, or broken jewelry to repurpose. Discover new dimensions in your artistic practice that can help cultivate unique approaches of producing and sharing artwork.
The experience felt like a creative incubator- one in which Mike set the tone for us to push ourselves, engage deeply with our creative processes, and work with a sense of limitlessness. There was an atmosphere of open communication that carried through the entire week among all participants, and this spirit of openness fostered a genuine sense of community, allowing each of us to feel comfortable exploring. The class not only introduced new ways of considering and developing our projects but, more profoundly, offered us new perspectives on creativity in life itself
