ARCH 5770 - Drawings and Collages
In this course we make collages, drawings, and mixed media projects. Rather than distinguishing collage and drawing as separate categories, we explore their exciting in-between territory. We make plane (and plain) images: configurations of relatively stable, still marks on two-dimensional surfaces. We use traditional drawing methods (graphite, colored pencil or ink on paper) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials). Through brief weekly readings and discussions we explore the relationship between aesthetics and ethics between “good forms” and forms that in some way contribute or allude to the “common good.”

ARCH 5780 - Painting and Public Art
In this course we make paintings and mixed media projects. We stress the process rather then the artistic product and, like artist Sol LeWitt, define painting ‘as an activity on a flat plane.’ We make plane (and plain) images: configurations of relatively stable, still marks on two-dimensional surfaces. We use traditional methods (watercolor or ink on paper, acrylics on canvas) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials). Through weekly readings and discussions we explore the relationship between aesthetics and ethics between ‘good forms’ and forms that in some way contribute or allude to the ‘common good.’

ASTR 5110 - Astronomical Techniques
Surveys modern techniques of radiation measurement, data analysis, and image processing, and their application to astrophysical problems, especially the physical properties of stars and galaxies. Relevant laboratory experiments and observations with the department’s telescopes are included. Students are expected to develop a familiarity with programming and other basic computer skills if they do not already possess them. Prerequisite: ASTR 2110-2120; PHYS 3420, 3430 or instructor permission.
