Adorning the Body
Session Five: July 14-26
Anika Smulovitz
Adorning the Body
Interested in exploring unusual adornment? Curious about how material choices and placement can add content to your wearable artwork? In creating art for the body, we can examine content in a powerful and meaningful way that uses the body to activate the objects we create. As we make new works of adornment, we will consider the negative spaces on the body, how the body moves, and how wearable objects can accentuate or restrict that movement. We will play with site-specificity, kinetic elements, and material explorations. Technical instruction will support student interests and may include techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, riveting, forming, etc. The emphasis will be on process, experimentation, and developing your work. A willingness to explore new ways of interpreting adornment is essential. All levels. Lower metals studio.
