Professor Mura 's studio classes enable a student to focus primarily on a hands-on experience with clay and other materials. Although a student will also be taught the technical fundamentals as well as a visual vocabulary, the majority of the time will be spent on each student becoming involved with the materials. The end products, hopefully, will be those very personal expressions (sometimes we call them "art"!) that result when students are able to tap into their unique creative centers.
The courses Professor Mura teaches are listed below. 2 sections of Art 105-B are taught every semester, but Art 106 is taught in the Fall Semester and the combined class of Art 243/244 is taught in the Spring Semester. The class syllabus link will be for the appropriate semester.
