FINE 204: The Peripatetic Studio: Walking as a Method

This course invites students to embrace walking as a method for creating art. Through a series of walking pieces, both indoors and outdoors, and hands-on workshops, we will explore how the simple act of walking can shape storytelling, community engagement, and multi-sensory art. Whether it's a daily commute, a mindful saunter, or simply moving through space, this method helps us sense the world and engage with our surroundings differently, by building portable sound-drawing devices, working with materials that evoke deep time, and creating multimedia experiences. Designed for artists, designers, and curious learners, this course blends technology, movement, and observation to create meaningful work. The course is built on the principle that walking, in a wide spectrum of movement practices, include rolling, strolling, wandering, and adaptive mobility. All bodies and modes of movement are welcome.
