The first month at Oxbow is a busy time as students rotate through our studios working on several short term projects with overriding themes. The first, Observation, is team-taught by an art faculty and a humanities faculty: Painting meets Science, New Media pairs with English, and Sculpture and History come together for some meaty philosophical conversations.
Students in New Media employed visuals and text to record the world around them as actively participating artists and storytellers. By asking questions about their relationship to the new world around them, they contemplated what it means to be a "seer" through the course of a day and how to communicate these significant moments through the language of film.
Below are some examples by Katie from CT, Michael from MA, and Elijah from CA, of their visual and aural montages using rhythm, timing, association, and extensive editing.
