Student in the “4-D And New Genre Artmaking” class are livening up campus. Their imaginative installations now sprawlthroughout the Humanities Building and its surroundings, such as the Winslow Maxwell Overlook.

Students explore time-based media and new media such as performance, installation, and sound art. The Artmaking class, taught by art instructor Elizabeth Folk, shows students how to submerse their audience into art.

The installation “Surveillance” has its eyes pointed directly at any unsuspecting individual drinking from the fountain on the second story of the Humanities Building. The cameras are literally in your face as you drink the water.

A hallway on the second level of the Humanities building became a demonstration on how monitored society has become. The Winslow Maxwell Overlook transformed into a labyrinth. A student painted a few of his willing peers yellow and positioned them according to his vision.

With the building’s imminent reconstruction, students are given the freedom to use the campus as their canvas. They are taking full advantage of the opportunity to give the campus a more lived-in feel, given the rarity of actually change the look of the campus, permanently,

Every student in the class spoke highly of its content, nature, instructor, and stressed the importance of the freedom of expression.
