A studio/performance-oriented course designed to increase students' technical knowledge and ability for individual expression.  Emphasis is on research with a fine art approach to image making to develop and refine one's own photographic style.  Both theoretical and conceptual issues surrounding digital photography in the contemporary art world will be addressed.

Introduction, exploration, and application of type and fundamental typographic principles.  Develop an understanding of typography as it relates to visual communication and graphic expression while exploring both traditional and nontraditional forms.  Laboratory fee required.

Continuation of ART 305- Graphic Design I.  Continued study in the fundamental principles and technique of graphic design and practice of the creative process as applied to visual problem solving.  Focus is on the development of formal design skills, ideas and the tools used to execute complex design solutions.  Laboratory fee required.

Continued exploration of visual structure and hierarchies of information through the organization of typographic space.  Emphasis is on the use of type to create message, both literary and visual.  Laboratory fee required.

This course explores three-dimensional design as it applies to product containers. Branding, type, layout, design, and form are synthesized to create commercial packaging. Design solutions are developed from branding concept to three-dimensional package designs. Relationships between form and function, cost and creativity will be addressed to develop cost-effective packaging designs at a professional level. Lab fee required.

A studio/performance-oriented course that introduces students to controlled lighting techniques to develop an approach for manipulating light to create distinctive imagery.  Studio lighting techniques, color theory, digital editing and printing will be addressed.  Students will work towards a proficiency in utilizing light as photography's main tool for artistic expression and communication through constructed imagery.

A studio/performance-oriented course that introduces students to alternative photographic processes using various lens-based practices and equipment.  Students will experiment extensively with hybrid forms using analog and digital methods to combine old and new techniques in innovative ways.

Intermediate exploration of conceptualization and development of type-and-image messages.  A more in-depth exploration of conceptual thinking, typography and investigative tools used to solve communicative problems.  Focus is on deeper research and analysis of visual communication problems, and refinement of visual message construction.  Laboratory fee required.

Overview of art therapy as it applies to children and adolescents. Explores the development and psychology of art as indicators of a child’s experience. Students will learn to apply their foundational art therapy knowledge to work with a variety of child and adolescent populations.

Overview of art therapy as it applies to the complications of adult life experiences. Explores the intrinsic therapeutic value of adult art expressions and their ability to serve as a form of verbal communication. Students will learn to apply their foundational art therapy knowledge to work with a variety of adult client populations.

A studio/performance-oriented course that explores the therapeutic properties of art media and techniques through direct engagement. Processes will be assessed for their appropriateness with a variety of client populations and potential to assist in meeting specific treatment goals. Students will learn how to convey the richness of their own experience through art in order to more effectively and empathically elicit therapeutic art from clients.

A technical-based studio course that explores descriptive painting revolving around the human form, spanning from hyper-realism to stylization. Emphasis is placed on light, space, color interaction, and paint application. Investigations in both perceptual and conceptual approaches to painting the figure are explored.

As a continuation of ART 261 Sculpture Mold-Making and Casting I, this course continues exploration in methods of mold making practices and new technology and media with an emphasis on advanced techniques and processes in an effort to develop a body of three-dimensional artworks.

As a continuation of ART 262, this course continues exploration in traditional sculptural practices and new technology and media with an emphasis on advanced techniques and processes in an effort to develop a body of three-dimensional artworks.

As a continuation of ART 235, Screenprinting II is a deeper investigation of the material and techniques of Screenprinting. This class is for students that would like to explore more advanced techniques and processes in an effort to develop a body of printed artworks.

This course is an introduction to the art and history of the book. It includes studio experience with letterpress printing, typography and typesetting, principles of editing and publishing, creative writing, graphic design, illustration, papermaking and bookbinding. The primary aims of the class are to introduce students to the aesthetic, cultural and material dimensions of the reading experience, to enhance their understanding of how physical and visual presentation shapes a reader’s perceptions, and to introduce the history, craft and art of the physical book. Equivalent to ENG 370.

This course introduces students to project management methods common to various creative, design, and museum industries toward the creation of a complex, independent, and interdisciplinary project proposal or material deliverable. Students gain familiarity with project management methods and tools to support future leadership in generative industries via guided engagement from development through management to the execution process. Students will utilize applicable project management methodologies, principles, tools, and techniques applicable in future team-based environments to integrate learning across the humanities, social sciences and/or natural sciences at the University of Tampa. This course partially satisfies requirements for the Spartan Studies Culminating Experience.
