introduction
Collaborative Studio is an exciting course of interdisciplinary fusion. You will be given an opportunity to create something completely new and fresh– and hopefully thought provoking and engaging.

In interdisciplinary art, two or more disciplines are fused to create a hybrid art form. During this course, we will create three different examples of hybrid art. First, we will focus on visual books, which combine words and images in a wide variety of structures. Second, we will further develop the concepts conveyed through your visual books and create installation art. Installation art presents an ensemble of images and objects within a three-dimensional environment. Finally, we will collaborate as a class and create a video. Video is yet another idea of hybridization that combines both time and space. The video will be an ongoing project that will continue throughout the course and will be played as part of our collaborative exhibition.

Speaking of exhibition, this might be tricky this semester as Malone Gallery is booked solid. I am currently looking into the possibility of showing at the Wiregrass Museum in Dothan. We will see.
