ART 436. Woven Structures in Fiber Arts

Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 013972

Traditional and experimental use of materials, techniques and structures are used to understand weaving as a cross-disciplinary practice including exploration of floor-loom hand weaving.

Weaving’s role within the larger contemporary art world will be discussed and understandings of what constitutes a woven structure will be challenged. Prerequisite: ART 230 , ART 232  or ART 234 .
