We understand the Arts rightfully occupy a place right at the heart of the school culture. So it is normal for us to work cross-disciplinarily, not only between sectors of our own department but also with Literature, Science, History, and even Math! A Gerard Manley Hopkins poem can be the launch point for a Visual Art project in typography, composition, layout design, and low-relief paper sculpture. Western hemisphere migratory flyways will appear as a two-story hanging curtain sculpture, seemingly of multi-colored abstract shapes, but actually depicting scientific data points. Every project we do has layers and facets from several other domains to ground and fortify media exploration and skill development.
