"Collaborative Magic, Creativity and the NFT Phenomenon" This class provides an opportunity to participate in a collaborative process. Collaboration can expand how you think about your creativity in relationship to others - aesthetically, socially, economically. In "CM" students will learn how to develop a collaborative project within an open model of sharing and discourse. It will be a creative adventure. "How can I use collaboration to make better design/art?" In this class, students will first invent/create/design a visual concept/project of their own individual making. These individual concepts/projects will then be brought together and synthesized within a group to produce an imaginative outcome, or hybrid. Experimentation is the bread and butter of this class and you are highly encouraged to push your boundaries and find new tools to express yourselves. During the class "studio-time," beside working through the collaborative problem-solving process, we will also discuss technology from the phenomenon of NFTs, which surfaced in popularity in only the last 12 months, algorithms and more. Students in all departments are welcome. All projects will be student-generated week by week. You do not need to have a project in mind to enroll in the class. The more varied our creative pool, the more prescient the final collaborative projects will become.
