Currents: Moving, Drawing, and Making — DAN2427.01

Instructor: Dana Reitz
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 2

In nature’s flowing forms, i.e. in water, air, and anything and everything that moves, there are currents that are discernible, energizing, and wondrous. When experiencing movement, making movement, performing movement, and observing movement, we can find the flow, work with it, draw it, and watch it evolve. How do we recognize and make fluid forms? How do we find the structural current? How do we experience time? And how does the surrounding environment influence it all?
