Type as Image (GRA-0132)

Spring 2026 · GRA 0132 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

For artists from various disciplines who use text in their work and want to learn about typography as a mark making tool. Slide lectures and project assignments will ask students to work with self-generated expressive text. Project assignments will provide a structure for each student’s interest toward typography and text based artwork including narrative, architectural, performative and three-dimensional type. The computer will be our primary tool but not the only one. Bring your calligraphy, photography and drawing skills along. We will use Adobe CC as our main software applications. Non-SMFA students and MAT Art Education students will receive a letter grade.
