Advisory There is no advisory for this course.
Studio classes in the Art Department involve elaborate setup, clean up, and environmental and mechanical safety issues. This takes instructional time from the beginning and end of each class session. For that reason it is Art
Department’s policy that we meet four hours of lab instead of
3 for 1 unit.
