More artist studios and work spaces! This week it’s ceramics (part 1).

Could we get some other pictures of the studios in VAPA like the ones you just posted of the architecture studio? I love seeing artists' work spaces! c: — Asked by Anonymous

We’ll try to keep them coming (especially personal studios - those are always fascinating), but in the meantime, here are a bunch of older posts of various spaces in VAPA to momentarily sate your curiosity.

Introduction to Rhino 3D Modeling

Rhino 3D Modeling is a foundation course in Rhinoceros modeling software. Rhinoceros, used by architects, artists, and designers, is now standard software for anyone modeling three-dimensional form. As an accurate and flexible tool, Rhino provides users with workflows for solid modeling, polygonal modeling, and organic NURBS surface modeling. This course covers a broad range of modeling techniques and lays a strong foundation for continued work in 3D modeling. Students complete predefined modeling tasks, as well as create original works of their own design. The term will culminate with a final project that is fully modeled in Rhino and fabricated using laser cutting and 3D printing.

The architecture studio. Drink it in.

It’s junior review time!

This week, visual arts students in the first term of their junior year are presenting works that they have created thus far at Bennington. Each student will meet with a team of three visual arts faculty members to discuss their work and where it will go from here. A walk through the upstairs gallery of VAPA reveals work ranging from digital art to painting to architecture to ceramics, plus much more!

I have a few questions regarding drama at Bennington. 1. Is there any sort of audition process for students looking to focus their plan in drama? 2. Does Bennington allow applying or accepted students to sit in on a class for example an acting course. 3. Are any courses geared more towards film as opposed to stage acting. I apologize for the plethora of questions! Thanks so much. — Asked by Anonymous

Hey! I’m not a drama student but, surprisingly, I actually know the answers to all these questions, so I gotcha.

1 - Not for admission to Bennington, no. If you have footage of your acting/other drama work and want to include it in your application supplement, then that’s great, but it’s not a necessity. As far as wanting to study drama once you’ve arrived at Bennington, you will likely be auditioning on a production-by-production basis, as well as for certain advanced classes. Intro-level drama classes don’t require any auditions as far as I’m aware, so it’s easy to get your feet wet.

2 - Yeah, totally! The availability of certain classes changes depending on what day of the week it is but I’d imagine that, once the semester starts back up, there’s at least one acting class you could sit in on for any day of the week. You can always schedule a visit around classes you want to sit in on, so if you decide this is something you wanna do once classes start this year, give the Admissions Office a call at (802)-440-4312 to talk about scheduling a visit.

3 - Yes, there are definitely video/film classes. Rather than bore you with a long list of them in this answer, I’ll just link you through to the visual arts curriculum on our website, which shows a good selection of video/film courses from the past couple of years (you might have to scroll down a bunch; there are loads of visual arts courses to choose from, although they are separated by discipline).

No need to apologize! Glad I could actually answer a drama question for once!

Spotted in VAPA. I’m not sure if it’s trying to say ‘sorry, from Coke’ or ‘whoops, my bad Coke,’ but either way, it’s okay, Coke. -Evan ‘13

My final for Digital Photography Foundations. By only using subjects on campus, I took 100 pictures to create a gradient through color and light to dark. Cus I’m cray cray and decided to think of and tackle such a thing. But I’m really happy with how it came out and it totally looks like I’m in the Chromophilia class. Hours and hours and hours of my life right there.

Top: Final project.

We’ve had the excellent suggestion that we photograph some of the academic spaces on campus.

So every week we’re going to take you on a tour through a new discipline or building’s spaces.

This week we’ve done Martha Hill, the Dance Theatre, and the two dance rehearsal studios in VAPA.

Enjoy!
