Ephemerality: Time in Sculpture and Digital Media

This course is a survey of ephemeral art within the context of sculpture and digital media. Students consider the art object made to last forever, in contrast with the object meant to disintegrate, decompose, or fall apart. Through a series of activities, lectures, and assignments we will research artwork's ability to stand the test of time. Students create ephemeral work in a range of techniques including food, found objects, mold making and casting, photography, digital media, and performance.
