Implementation and methods of teaching
The Art and Technology course will help to give students an expanded range of tools and working methodologies that will allow them to develop new ways of approaching their artistic practice. The course will introduce students to a range of technologies, such as 3D modeling and printing, laser-cutting, as well as new materials for casting and construction. Learning what these new technologies have to offer will also allow students to be better equipped to communicate with people working in these fields, as well as dealing with architects and city planners when working on public art projects.
In this course, the hope is to link Art and Technologies studies with the Designing Artworks for Public Spaces course. These two courses are meant to complement each other. The Designing Artworks for Public Spaces will help develop the visual and conceptual aspects of making proposals for public artworks, while the Art and Technology will help in the realization of these concepts.
