TOPIC: TEXT-BASED ART EXPLORES ART THAT UTILIZES LANGUAGE OR WORDS AS A MATERIAL. TEXT-BASED STRATEGIES THAT WE WILL EXPLORE INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF PRE-EXISTING TEXT AS SOURCE MATERIAL FOR AN EXPERIMENTAL COLLAGE, THE INTERPLAY OF WORDS AND IMAGES OR OBJECTS, AND TEXT (PRINTED OR SPOKEN) AS A MEDIUM FOR A FINISHED ARTWORK. PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO SENIOR-LEVEL STUDENTS WITHIN THE IVA CONCENTRATION. STUDENTS MUST ATTEND THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS IN ORDER TO REMAIN ENROLLED.
