Foundations X: Public Art Foundations X: Public Art April 10-April 17 Closing reception: April 17, 5-8pm Calculating by Emily Pride   Cosponsored by Peck School of the Arts, Department of Visual Art. The Foundations program provides first-year visual art students with a broad background in basic drawing, 2D & 3D concepts and the digital arts. The core curriculum in film provides the first-year film student with a similarly broad background in the film experience, media arts and film production. The Foundations year is a time of artistic and personal development, when students choose their areas of concentration and begin to see themselves becoming visual artists. Students from the Departments of Film and Visual Art will exhibit work created in their first year of study at UWM. Each year Foundations assignments are structured around a general theme--this provides a sense of consistency as well as providing the students with programming that facilitates their concept development. This year's theme is "public art." Foundations Exhibition X is a result of students working and creating artwork in a variety of media that has been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the public domain, usually outside and accessible to all. The theme, "public art", was thought of as a particular working practice, often with implications of site-specificity, community involvement and collaboration.     Campus Level, Room W199 2200 E.
