Credits: 3 credits STUDIO and/or 3 credits ARTHI
Studio: Rome, Milan, Venice Biennale (3 cr. studio)
Students will visit selected major works of Italian urban design, architecture, and interior architecture, examine key masterpieces of Italian product design, furniture, and fashion, visit professional design offices and design showrooms, art exhibitions, and the Venice Biennale. The organizing formal, iconographic, functional, and fabrication ideas in each major work will be investigated and revealed using a variety of graphic techniques, including video, photography, computer graphics, and freehand drawing. Examines the manipulation of space, natural light, figural trim work and intaglio in Roman interiors. Examines designed objects and architecture ranging from Castiglioni furniture to Borromini spaces, and old and new art from Caravaggio to Sarah Sze. Examines the collage and hybridization of types and styles.
Art History: Art In Italy to the Biennale (3 cr. Art History)
Examines through viewing, discussions, and student papers, the problematic category of the "masterpiece" in a country with thousands of such objects, often in their original context. Baroque art and architecture, particularly in Rome, will be analyzed both through the accomplishments of individual practitioners and as a manifestation of imperial patronage and propaganda to be juxtaposed with the realpolitik of a major contemporary art Biennale in Venice. Examines through discussions and student presentations contemporary global art practices as manifested at the Venice Biennale.
