Printmaking MFA and BFA candidates: ADES 4540/5540: Typography for Fine Artists is a Maymester course for anyone in the studio arts who wants to learn about typography:
I am offering a Maymester course in which there are basic exercises in typographic construction, language, brief overview of history and semiotics. We’ll achieve these through a series of lectures and exercises. I would then expect that all of the students will create work (one piece or a series) of art that incorporates typographic forms in their own medium. We will use those works as the beginning point for continuing lectures and critiques about semiotics and application of typography.
The course will be structured such that a lot of information is delivered, and lots of type will be made, but the experience will be fun and enjoyable. If you are interested, please contact Eric Ligon via e-mail for a permission code to register, or if you have questions. This course will satisfy the advanced studio art course requirements for your degree, and it is also available at a graduate level.––Professor Eric Ligon
