Students will participate in: (1) studio activities which focus on the construction of a variety of functional and aesthetic texts; (2) research seminars which focus on the implications for pedagogy of the physical, technological and social practices associated with multimedia text construction; and (3) ethnographic field work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
