Core Visual Arts
Instructor Parvin Peivandi

Please make an interdisciplinary art that is inspired by the projects that we have done in class. These projects were textile, 2D (Drawing/Painting), 3D, and mixed media arts. Your art should show the material exploration and conversation between at least two mediums. For instance, you make a painting that has a woven part or you make a weaving that has a tapestry inspired by an abstract painting or geometric abstraction. Other examples: You make a drawing or sculpture, then you project an image or video on this work by borrowing a video projector from media centre. You can also make a drawing and cover an object with it or make a sculpture with your drawings. Experimentation with new materials or techniques is highly encouraged.

Developing Interdisciplinary vision and skills, Studying materials and material culture, Employing diverse techniques and materials in a new context, thinking about the cycle of production and consumption of the objects.

Foundation 151 Printmaking
Instructor Mark Johnsen

This selection of printed works was created in response to themes of transformation, iteration, self-representation, opposing forces, and the very mediums in which they were produced. Over the Spring of 2022, students worked in the mediums of relief, intaglio, monotype, book media, and combined techniques to explore the unlimited potential of printed matter.
