MIT has found that the human brain can process entire images that the eye sees for as little as 13 milliseconds — the first evidence of such rapid processing speed. In this course, students will decide how to best utilize their medium and composition to quickly describe and best translate their artistic metaphor, propelling a narrative forward. Using charcoal, collage, and mixed media, students will work to create a mood subtlety through abstraction, and deal with what materials mean to our image/ story, while allowing the physicality of their marks to guide the viewer’s unconscious.
