| Description: | This course is an introduction to how textiles are used as a contemporary expressive artform. Through hands-on studio assignments students will be encouraged to think about how textile art can serve as a platform for social commentary and cultural exchange. Students will be exposed to artists that use textiles as a medium to amplify social justice issues, and challenge conventional boundaries between art, design, and craft. This course is co-taught with Professor Strader and Restoring Hope/Restoring Trust, Artist-in-Residence Julian Jamaal Jones. Jones is a multidisciplinary artist who memorializes Black culture through the language of African American quilting traditions. This course requires no pre-requisites or experience. |
