TOPIC: Making and Breaking Rules: The role of systems, rules, and chance in art- making
In this course we will use drawing and painting as our primary means of exploring how self-generated systems and rules can fuel artistic processes. Students will develop their own systems to create drawings and paintings, and to translate work from other artistic disciplines (such as writing or music) into the visual sphere. We will learn from artists past and present who use such constructs in their practices. We¿ll experience how chance can be used to guide our choices. The relationship between intention and outcome, limits and freedom will be topics for discussion. The grid, the aesthetics of systems, and color as an organizing principle are other topics for exploration.

BIO 131 Our Relationship with the Living World

The overall focus of this course is our relationship with the living world, and this version of the course will focus specifically on our relationship with microorganisms. Both lecture materials and at-home experimentation (labs) will guide you as you learn about microscopic organisms and explore how they are intricately woven into every aspect of our lives. We will touch on what might be familiar aspects of health and disease and spend even more time on the more positive and essential roles they play in our lives on the planet. As you explore these topics, you will also gain an understanding of the process of scientific inquiry and work on skills related to scientific discovery and communication. Prerequisites: Writing, Reading, and Inquiry 1 or concurrent, Quantitative Reasoning or concurrent. Cr. 4.
