Welcome to Art 109...how to find us on campus


No, That's Not Our Buildingthank goodness, but we are right next door...

Where is the Photo & Imaging Building?

Students often have difficulty finding our classroom the first week of classes. That's partly because it's tucked back in a far corner beyond the Physics Dept. Bldg.1 is located next to the oldest building on campus--pictured here and now under rennovation.  L1 is the Art Department's Photo and Imaging building and is located in the "rear" of campus "behind" the Physics and Engineering buildings and west of the Nursing School parking lot. (If you know where Doctors Hospital or the Cosford Cinema Building are you're in the right area. It's where San Amaro and Campo Sano drives come together--not too far from the fountain.) It's a 1-story wooden building painted white.

When you arrive at the building you will find CL145 just inside the double doors on the far right of Bldg. 1.

Arrive ready to work, and if you have time, pick up or order the textbook:
James Bennett's "Design Fundamentals for New Media," 2nd. ed. ISBN-10:1401837794.

You will find your course syllabus in the tabbed section (see top of page) called "The Fine Print." The course schedule is distributed among the 3 learning modules also tabbed at the top of this blog (Mod1, 2, 4). We are currently in Module 1. A printable version of the syllabus and tentative course schedule can be downloaded by clicking the link in the left column of this home page under Important Course Documents.
