ART 3330 - Fibers Studio

Credits: 3

This intermediate course focuses on both concepts and skills outside the Fine Arts degree core coursework exploring various fiber media. On and off-loom weaving (including handmade, strap, table, or floor looms) are integrated with soft-sculpture approaches. Basic fabric dying and manipulation, felting, and papermaking techniques will be introduced. Public art will be addressed through the contemporary movement of Yarn Graffiti where students will learn crocheting, knotting, and knitting techniques. At the conclusion of this course, students will be familiar with the diverse vocabulary of fiber media through a variety of hands-on and research assignments.

Prerequisites: Completion of 45+ credits or approval by department Chair
