Share Art Knowledge with Short Video Commercials. Student artists can use short video “commercials” to create and share messages about topics of interest related to course content, art advocacy, to highlight student artwork, or advertise student art exhibitions.

Students will learn about innovative light construction and three-dimensional properties while creating their own designs using limited paper materials. Students will be asked to work in teams to brainstorm and create a sculpture that implements light based on their chosen concept.  

Students will create a digital image depicting a piece of architecture made entirely of edible materials. The class will analyze and discuss architecture throughout history, including local Virginia architecture, as well as the mimetic architecture, such as the California Crazy architecture of the 1950s. Each student will create a proposal for their building prior to designing. Students will combine digital collage and retouching skills to create implied texture, distance/perspective, and make a realistic illusion.
