| Course Format | Lecture 2.0 h + Seminar 1.0 h + Lab. 1.0 h |
| Credits | 3.0 |
Course Description
Students learn the phases required to develop artwork for public spaces. Students participate in collective and independent projects to build skills and identify key concepts needed to design, fabricate, and install artwork. Projects are presented on the Langara College campus and in various public venues such as the Canada Line SkyTrain Langara-49th Station glazing. Technical demonstrations in metal fabrication and one-on-one support in constructing with a wide variety of materials help students articulate their ideas for the built environment. Slide lectures, weekly discussions, site visits, and critiques are used to further develop the language surrounding public art in contemporary and historical context. The skills and portfolio developed during this course can be used when applying to public art calls outside of the institution.
Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C-" grade in FINA 1160 or 1161; or appropriate experience with department permission.
