SATURDAY ART SCHOOL
EMBODY is a unit focused on the body as a site for art making. We will be considering a variety of approaches to the body in contemporary art and discussing artists who are making work that addresses the body. In this exploratory unit, we will consider the body as theme, subject, vehicle and tool in the art-making process and begin to tap into the inexhaustible possibilities that surround this topic. This will include approaches such as wearable sculpture, performance-based work, and a lot of material exploration.
CONCEPT MAPPING
Students begin developing their concepts by mapping out
ideas, related content, and thumbnail sketches.
