Auditing a course allows you to explore one of our full time courses at a fee considerably less than students who are taking the course for academic credit. As an audit student, you sit in on the lectures, take notes and engage with the class. However, you do not complete course assignments, take examinations, attended tutorials and do not receive a grade or credit.
Please
check back with us shortly and we will have upcoming Fall Audit Courses
available.
Tuition fees for audit courses are $250 and $220 for seniors over the ages of 60.
This course will provide a survey of twentieth-century practices and media in Western art within their social, political and philosophical contexts.

The study of Canadian ceramics is rooted in the trade of ideas, technologies and materials and the movement of migrant populations. In this course we will be examining productions from historical First Nations to contemporary studio work, including functional, sculptural and architectural ceramics. Issues that will be addressed include appropriation and negotiation, national, regional and gender identity, and relationships among the categories of design, functional and fine. A pot is never empty!

When we talk about design in this course it will be “material culture,” in other words, inclusive of coffee cups, ticket stubs, concert posters, bicycles, light bulbs, and shopping malls. These are designed artifacts and environments that we will take seriously in addition to epicenters of innovation such as the Eames Office—in order to discuss production in terms of collaborative expenditures of creative energy. The aims of the course are: to ask what problems or needs, both perceived and real, cause designs to arise; to approach the history of design as a convergence of social, cultural, economic, political, technological, and aesthetic forces; to value the significance of reception as much as creation; and to explore primary evidence.

This course considers the world of human-made objects and images. It is interested in the roles objects play in human society (functional, social and emotional) and in how objects – from buildings to iPods to advertisements to desk chairs – constitute ideological, aesthetic and social expression, the course ponders both the philosophical implications of "things,” and considers critical strategies for their study.
