The Sam Fox School is composed of the College of Architecture, the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design, the College of Art, the Graduate School of Art, and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. A Professional Art and Design College Within a University The College of Art offers students the opportunity to study art or design while taking both required and elective courses through other schools and divisions of the university. The College of Art, which has its own faculty and facilities, has been a degree-conferring division of Washington University since 1879. Undergraduate students at the College of Art have a wide variety of options from which to choose to meet their individual needs and satisfy their interests. The curriculum has been designed around the philosophy that the study of art has no natural boundaries; all human experience — intellectual, technological and social — can at some point become part of the purposes of an artist or designer. College of Art courses provide a structural base upon which students are able to build. Students in the College of Art at Washington University may choose to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. BFA students can major in communication design, fashion design or art. BFA Art has optional concentrations in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and time-based + media art. BA students can major in art or design. BA Design has optional concentrations in communication and fashion. Undergraduate students in Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Business and Engineering can add a dual degree, second major or minor in art or design to their existing degree path. These opportunities help students foster creativity, expand horizons and explore opportunities for careers in art and design. Our diverse student body is composed of young people who have records of high achievement in both art or design and in academics. Because the College of Art provides such a comprehensive learning environment, it is an excellent place for a student to mature as an artist or designer. Facilities The Sam Fox School is comprised of six buildings located on the east end of the Danforth Campus. Studios, classrooms and maker spaces are located in William K. Bixby Hall, Joseph B. Givens Hall, Mark C. Steinberg Hall, Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Hall, and Anabeth and John Weil Hall. In addition, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum includes more than 10,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Florence Steinberg Weil Sculpture Garden, the Kenneth and Nancy Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library, and the Department of Art History & Archaeology in the College of Arts & Sciences. In addition, the D.B. Dowd Modern Graphic History Library — a division of Washington University Libraries' Special Collections — is a preeminent site for studying the history and culture of American illustration, and it is comprised of original art and printed material from many fields of popular American pictorial graphic culture. The collection focuses on 20th-century illustration, and it includes artists' working materials and sketches as well as original artwork from books, magazines, and advertising.

Second-year studio courses introduce students to the different areas of focus. A student's last two years include intense study in their chosen focus area and a capstone experience. The capstone studio brings together all seniors in the studio areas and separately in the communication design and fashion areas for critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries to guide preparation for a culminating BFA exhibition. Throughout the studio courses and the final capstone, the BFA degree places an emphasis on developing a portfolio that displays the student's mastery of art and design skills. Graduates are prepared to pursue careers as artists, illustrators and designers. For specific degree requirements, visit the Degree Requirements page for the College of Art. Bachelor of Arts First-year students take Digital Studio and two additional foundation courses that may include Drawing, 2D Design, 3D Design, and so on. Upper-level studio courses and Sam Fox electives introduce students to different areas of focus. With fewer required courses and no capstone studio, this degree provides an opportunity for students to explore art and design in the context of a rigorous liberal arts education. The BA program is ideal for students who are interested in studying art and design as a cultural phenomena, as a practice for strategic thinking, or as preparation for a career alongside artists and designers. Working within and between traditional disciplines, students will explore how ideas can shape materials and how materiality can shape ideas. For specific degree requirements, visit the Degree Requirements page for the College of Art.

Art: CDES, FADM View Sections F10 ART 338Y Programming Design In what unconscious ways do your design tools influence your work? Would your work look different if you made all of the tools used to create it? What will design look like when machine learning automates many design tasks? How will you adapt when your software changes? What does design look like when you are building systems to create outcomes? How do you design for different contexts at the same time from the same content? What would computer-aided design iteration look like? These are all questions that students may confront in their careers as designers. This course will explore these questions through in-class demos, solo and group projects, readings, and talks from practitioners in the field. The class will teach students the Python programming language, which will be used in the free DrawBot application for MacOS and with the PageBot code library to create design applications and tools.

Working with photography and taking inspiration from the fields of geography, environmental studies, urban design and cultural anthropology, this course considers how a relationship to place is constructed. We will also consider displacements throughout history and value systems embedded in the construction of a sense of place. Is one's relationship to place personal? Is it collective, is it cultural, is it rooted in the surrounding environment? What are the marks that define a sense of place, and is there residue or lingering evidence that can be perceived? The medium of photography has unique capacities to address these questions. This studio course builds knowledge through photographic practice with accompanying readings, seminar discussion and guided assignments. Students will participate in an active process of exploring diverse concepts of place in relationship to the built environment. Students will be introduced to a range of ways of making and thinking about the subject of place, including looking at place as site, as geography, as memory, as non-place, as urban space, as rural space, as community, and as ecological site. No formal photographic training is necessary.

But how does that image snapped with your smartphone arrive on your screen? As technology marches forward, we have images literally at our fingertips, yet the actual process of producing the picture is, ironically, more elusive. In this course, we will dive into experimental processes and examine how physically making the picture can affect the content of that picture. As you craft images, ideas become tied to process and suggest new directions, strategies and subjects. We will begin with cameraless techniques, such as the photogram and cyanotype; we will investigate the principle of the camera obscura; we will test out rudimentary cameras such as the pinhole and disposable models; and we will experiment with printing techniques such as Polaroid and Xerox transfer, examining artists using these various techniques along the way.

Functioning not as a bearer of meaning but rather as a shaper of meaningful questions, art invites interpretation and introspection. As such, art -- which often functions to rekindle perception and give rise to new ways of thinking about and being in the world -- empowers individual thought, encourages empathy, and celebrates the diversity of ideas and opinions that are vital to conditions of freedom. With this in mind, multimedia lectures will explore the perspectives of contemporary artists (e.g., James Turrell, Cerith Wyn Evans, Wangechi Mutu), psychologists (e.g., Winnicott, Frankl, Freud), philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Bataille, Merleau-Ponty), linguists (e.g., Lacan, Pierce, Saussure), sociologists, cognitive scientists, cultural theorists and others. In addition, readings, discussions, in-class group interpretations and written critical analysis will provide students with the tools required to understand how art, which is a distinctive form of expression and communication, matters; it matters, as Bill O' Brien argues, because it teaches us how we matter.Same as F20 ART 362Credit 3 units.

Many filmmakers discover unexpected answers, reveal hidden histories, humanize previously one-dimensional characters, and spotlight even more in-depth questions. The global pandemic offers a unique opportunity to create videos that acknowledge this moment, with the potential to become a significant part of an international conversation. Even beginning filmmakers can give voice to issues that will be included in the historical record. Students will learn about or improve their cinematic aesthetics and professional video editing skills by making three short videos.Same as F20 ART 328ECredit 3 units.

Students study how color is affected by light, by space, by arrangement, by culture, and by commerce. The course aims to deepen the understanding of color's complexity and pervasiveness as a fundamental element of shared visual culture. The course develops both technical and conceptual skills to aid in visual translation. In addition to color-specific inquiry, another goal of this course is to expand ideas of research and enable students to integrate various methods of acquiring knowledge into their art and design practice. Throughout the course, students discuss various processes of making/constructing, the connection between color/form/concept, and strategies for idea generation and brainstorming. The course allows for much individual freedom and flexibility within varying project parameters.Same as F20 ART 328XCredit 3 units.

As we witness a global uprising and comprehensive public dialogue in response to police violence against African-Americans and the systemic racism that pervades American culture, students explore the artist's place in the power dynamics of mobilizing, re-contextualizing, and retelling stories that push against narrow, established norms. Otherness is not only linked with race, it is also deeply entrenched in sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, and classism. This courses uses video and performance as platforms of artistic expression to engage with and move the dialogue forward.

Art: FAAM View Sections F20 ART 262 Why Art Matters This lecture and discussion course will examine how art, which productively utilizes ambiguity and discontinuity, is a distinctive form of expression and communication. Functioning not as a bearer of meaning but rather as a shaper of meaningful questions, art invites interpretation and introspection. As such, art -- which often functions to rekindle perception and give rise to new ways of thinking about and being in the world -- empowers individual thought, encourages empathy, and celebrates the diversity of ideas and opinions that are vital to conditions of freedom. With this in mind, multimedia lectures will explore the perspectives of contemporary artists (e.g., James Turrell, Cerith Wyn Evans, Wangechi Mutu), psychologists (e.g., Winnicott, Frankl, Freud), philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Bataille, Merleau-Ponty), linguists (e.g., Lacan, Pierce, Saussure), sociologists, cognitive scientists, cultural theorists and others. In addition, readings, discussions, in-class group interpretations and written critical analysis will provide students with the tools required to understand how art, which is a distinctive form of expression and communication, matters; it matters, as Bill O' Brien argues, because it teaches us how we matter.Same as F20 ART 362Credit 3 units.

Art: FADM View Sections F20 ART 294A Research Methods in Studio Art Research Methods is an inquiry into research-based studio practices. In this course, students explore what research-based studio practices are. How do artists conduct research? What research methods can be adopted by artists to generate and gather ideas? Can methods come from disciplines outside the arts and how is research embedded in an artwork? This course proposes research-based studio practices as a means for artists to extend their ideas. It is a praxis course that acts as both a query into the research methodologies used by contemporary artists and a laboratory for students to integrate their studio-based practices with coursework in other disciplines. This class recognizes that there is no single standard for what constitutes research-based practice and, accordingly, it will explore both established and unconventional strategies for creating artworks. Students will use case studies of artists who use research as a basis of their studio practice and generate a semester-long, individual project that mines the information, methods, techniques, or discoveries of another discipline they have engaged at Washington University. Consequently, students should concurrently be enrolled in a course in another discipline on campus.Credit 3 units.

Using St. Louis as the starting point, this course takes students out of the classroom and into a variety of neighborhoods — old, new, affluent, poor — to look at the built environment in a variety of contexts and through a variety of lenses. Almost every week for the first half of the semester, students visit a different area (or areas), each trip highlighting some theme or issue related to the built environment (architecture, planning, American history, investment and disinvestment, community character and values, race, transportation, immigrant communities, future visions, etc.). Running parallel to this, students are involved in an ongoing relationship with one particular struggling neighborhood, in which students attend community meetings and get to know and become involved with the people in the community in a variety of ways. Students learn to look below the surface, beyond the single obvious story, for multiple stories, discovering their complexity, contradictions and paradoxes. They also come to consider the complex ways in which architecture and the built environment can affect or be affected by a host of other disciplines.

Functioning not as a bearer of meaning but rather as a shaper of meaningful questions, art invites interpretation and introspection. As such, art -- which often functions to rekindle perception and give rise to new ways of thinking about and being in the world -- empowers individual thought, encourages empathy, and celebrates the diversity of ideas and opinions that are vital to conditions of freedom. With this in mind, multimedia lectures will explore the perspectives of contemporary artists (e.g., James Turrell, Cerith Wyn Evans, Wangechi Mutu), psychologists (e.g., Winnicott, Frankl, Freud), philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Bataille, Merleau-Ponty), linguists (e.g., Lacan, Pierce, Saussure), sociologists, cognitive scientists, cultural theorists and others. In addition, readings, discussions, in-class group interpretations and written critical analysis will provide students with the tools required to understand how art, which is a distinctive form of expression and communication, matters; it matters, as Bill O' Brien argues, because it teaches us how we matter.Credit 3 units.

During those 100 years, Italy — particularly Florence — witnessed an extraordinary coming together of artistic talent, a passionate interest in the art and culture of Greek and Roman antiquity, a fierce sense of civic pride, and an optimistic belief in the classical concept of "Man as the measure of all things." This course examines the principal artists who contributed to this cultural revolution. In order to take full advantage of the special experience of studying the Renaissance in the very city of its birth, the stress is mainly, although not exclusively, on Florentine artists, including sculptors such as Donatello, Verrocchio, and Michelangelo, painters such as Giotto, Masaccio, Uccello, Botticelli, Leonardo, and Raphael; and architects such as Brunelleschi and Alberti up to Sangalo.Credit 3 units.

Art: FAAM, FADM View Sections F20 ART 397A Lost in Space: Media Art and Immersive Environments The participatory turn in art over the past five and a half decades has produced an array of immersive environments that enhance the viewer's perception of their body and heighten awareness of their bodily relationship to space. A key mechanism in this choreography often involves the optical representation of shadows and mirrors, captivating visual phenomena and/or moving projections. While some produce unique phenomenological experiences, others offer nuanced or explicit sociopolitical meaning. In any case, technology often activates many spatially oriented works, dramatically altering the tenor of the embodied experience while offering new ways for our technologically mediated sensoria to shape our sense of presence within the physical world. This primarily seminar-based course will explore installation art and immersive environments, many of which use evolving technologies or time-based media to affect the viewer's awareness of their bodily existence. Examples will include Olafur Eliasson's "Fog Room" and "Multiple Shadow Room," James Turrell's "Light Reignfall," Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Mirror Rooms," Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate" and "Whirlpool," Jennifer Steinkamp's "Jimmy Carter," Krzysztof Wodiczko's "A House Divided," Cyprien Gaillard's "Nightlife," and Won Ju Lim's "California Dreamin'." This course will also explore how immersive spaces operate on different registers while reinforcing the viewer's recognition of themselves as doppelganger, as hybrid, or as Other.

This understanding of site includes built architecture, landscape, social order, public space, the exhibition space, our living space, the fictional space, even the digital space. At its core, site-work is the practice of deeply considering the intricacies of a place, then using this inquiry as a starting point to drive the work's creation. Moving from research to production, students will create a response to their chosen site that transforms, augments, or adapts a viewer's relationship to that space. A key challenge will be the choice of medium.

We have seen this, for example, in the racially-motivated 'redlined' maps that legitimized urban clearings of entire neighborhoods in American cities in the 1930s. But maps are also instruments of resistance, for visualizing lived experiences and critiquing political systems and relationships of power. Maps are tools for re-writing dominant narratives and spatializing truths. Maps stage new design possibilities. This class will introduce students to the agency and potential of maps and mapping, a skillset all designers need in the face of our current moment of social and environmental justice collapse-a moment that has long been occurring. The course will cover interdisciplinary theories of mapping; critical cartography; American sub/urbanism; issues of race and place; and techniques of visualization. Students will build a radical 'atlas of spatial politics' centered on selected themes, focused on a common American first ring suburban site-either Ferguson, MO, or Kenosha, WI or similar.

Functioning not as a bearer of meaning but rather as a shaper of meaningful questions, art invites interpretation and introspection. As such, art -- which often functions to rekindle perception and give rise to new ways of thinking about and being in the world -- empowers individual thought, encourages empathy, and celebrates the diversity of ideas and opinions that are vital to conditions of freedom. With this in mind, multimedia lectures will explore the perspectives of contemporary artists (e.g., James Turrell, Cerith Wyn Evans, Wangechi Mutu), psychologists (e.g., Winnicott, Frankl, Freud), philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Bataille, Merleau-Ponty), linguists (e.g., Lacan, Pierce, Saussure), sociologists, cognitive scientists, cultural theorists and others. In addition, readings, discussions, in-class group interpretations and written critical analysis will provide students with the tools required to understand how art, which is a distinctive form of expression and communication, matters; it matters, as Bill O' Brien argues, because it teaches us how we matter.Same as F20 ART 362Credit 3 units.

Using concepts in visual studies and communication studies, this course explores the histories of primarily American visual-verbal texts to investigate how minds and hands conceived, produced, distributed and consumed illustrated print media in the 19th and 20th centuries. Beginning with the neurological basis of vision, we will examine ways culture affects perception, how print technologies shape content, how word and image rhetorically shape beliefs, how power relations imbue images and publishing, and the ways counterculture forms such as caricature and posters can be used to intervene socially. Students will conduct original research using University Libraries Special Collections to hone their ability to write convincingly and professionally about imagery. No prerequisites; 200 level open to students across the university. Counts toward design minor.Credit 3 units. Art: FADM, VC View Sections F20 ART 485B Beyond Words, Beyond Images: Representation After History The seminar focuses on art in the public domain and examines contemporary practices that engage public memory and the meta-city. Prompting students to consider their own practice in the context of public space, the seminar offers examples of projects that contribute to global cultural and political discourse. Weekly illustrated lectures, readings, writing assignments, screenings, discussions, and individual research lead toward the final term paper. Individual studio consultations serve as a platform for the discussion of students' evolving practice, leading toward the final project in a medium of choice. MFA VA students and graduate students in architecture are especially welcome. This is an upper-level course open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students only.Same as F20 ART 385BCredit 3 units. Art: FAAM, GFAH, VC View Sections F20 ART 485D Art Seminar: Fantastic Voyage and Scales of Wonder Affective encounters with scale -- encounters that make us aware of our bodies in relationship to the world around us -- occur broadly throughout human experience, from viewing miniature particles through the lens of a microscope to wandering through monumental architectural environments. Undeniably, scale and affect are integral to the lived experience and to the ways in which art, design and the built environment have developed over the past half century. Through lectures, discussions, and critical readings, Fantastic Voyage and Scales of Wonder will examine scale as a central theme to explore our encounters with built environments and designed objects alike. Readings and discussions will span media archeology and affect theory. This seminar will also examine the impact of such works as Charles and Ray Eames's 1968 documentary "The Powers of Ten" and the 1966 cult film "Fantastic Voyage" (which inspired Isaac Asimov's science fiction novel of the same name) on art, design and architecture today.Same as F20 ART 385DCredit 3 units. Art: FAAM, FADM View Sections F20 ART 487A Social Practice Art Social Practice Art (SPA) is a course for artists, designers, architects and landscape architects. This studio course takes an interdisciplinary approach to establishing how social interaction and discourse can be tools for social transformation. SPA involves works that may use audience, collaboration, participation, ephemera, and activism as a medium that emphasizes the aesthetic of co-creation. Through readings, mindfulness exercises, field trips, and studio assignments, students will develop and implement their own social practice project.Same as F20 ART 387ACredit 3 units.View Sections F20 ART 497A Lost in Space: Media Art and Immersive Environments The participatory turn in art over the past five and a half decades has produced an array of immersive environments that enhance the viewer's perception of their body and heighten awareness of their bodily relationship to space. A key mechanism in this choreography often involves the optical representation of shadows and mirrors, captivating visual phenomena and/or moving projections. While some produce unique phenomenological experiences, others offer nuanced or explicit sociopolitical meaning. In any case, technology often activates many spatially oriented works, dramatically altering the tenor of the embodied experience while offering new ways for our technologically mediated sensoria to shape our sense of presence within the physical world. This primarily seminar-based course will explore installation art and immersive environments, many of which use evolving technologies or time-based media to affect the viewer's awareness of their bodily existence. Examples will include Olafur Eliasson's "Fog Room" and "Multiple Shadow Room," James Turrell's "Light Reignfall," Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Mirror Rooms," Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate" and "Whirlpool," Jennifer Steinkamp's "Jimmy Carter," Krzysztof Wodiczko's "A House Divided," Cyprien Gaillard's "Nightlife," and Won Ju Lim's "California Dreamin'." This course will also explore how immersive spaces operate on different registers while reinforcing the viewer's recognition of themselves as doppelganger, as hybrid, or as Other. Students will learn how each work in its own way tinkers with the viewer's perception of their own bodily scale and encourages spectacular forms of engagement that reinforce corporeality.Same as F20 ART 397ACredit 3 units.
