Course Description

Students continue the investigation into the issues surrounding the creation of public art. Students work in groups to execute and complete two essential phases for a singular, large-scale, materially based project to be installed on the Langara College campus and at various public venues such as the Canada Line SkyTrain Langara-49th Station facade. While the emphasis is on group work, independent projects are also assigned. Project dependent technical demonstrations, lectures, weekly discussions, site visits, and critiques help the students develop the language surrounding public art in contemporary and historical contexts while encouraging students to articulate their ideas for the built environment. The skills and portfolio developed during this course can be used when applying to public art calls outside of the institution.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Diploma in Fine Arts.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C-" grade in FINA 1161 or 2161 and permission of the department.
