Public Art 36-4801

In this project-based class, students will use research, readings, and project creation to explore the meaning and varieties of art created in and for public places, especially concentrating on work that uses technology and/or interactivity. Student artists will work with both physical and virtual environments and will create a work of public art as the primary goal.

Prereqs: In order to register for this class you must have junior status.
