Appropriation, Repetition, Replication
S07
Barry Bartlett
This class will investigate the nature of appropriating and making objects and transferring them into ceramic sculptures and vessels. Using common, everyday objects, we will explore culturally held meanings, values, imagery, and how ideas of repetition and replication impact our understanding. We will study historical and contemporary artists who have used this concept including Duchamp, Cornell, Magritte, Man Ray, Warhol, Koons, Raauschenberg, Johns, Lucero, and others.

Students will be expected to find resources at a diverse array of sources such as antique and hobby stores, outdoor sculpture and garden centers, souvenir shops, and so on. In addition, students should expect to purchase drawing materials including paper, glue, charcoal, pencils, and paint in this class. We will be working with both drawing and collage to help realize ideas.
