The lecture today focused on the majors of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic & Interactive Design. Frank discussed the painting classes Tyler offers and talked about the importance of the artist's painting palette in relation to their actual painting. He handed out a sheet that listed possible painting/drawing courses we are eligible to take as sophomores and stressed the importance of traveling to Rome junior year. Jude was the next speaker and she represented the sculpture major. In doing so she showed us slides of some student work and also works by other artists (such as Tino Sehgal) which were really cool. I especially liked the river turned green (see picture) and the walk-in capsule that makes everyone inside look black and white (both by Olafur Eliasson). Jude thinks it's a good idea to take the sculpture class twice in order to be more familiar with the processed and materials. The final professor introduced Tyler's Graphic and Interactive Design (GAID) major. He discussed the basic differences between print design (brochures, t-shirts) and interactive design (animation). He also suggested GAID majors should study abroad in their sophomore year so they are not behind once they declare their major in junior year. The only design course offered abroad is in a 6 week summer session titled Collaborative Design Workshop. He finished by talking about an active internship program for GAID where students can receive credit for studio electives if they are involved in a paid internship.
