For centuries artists have looked to other artists and locations as resources for
inspiration and for interpretive exploration. Guided by individual interests and
artistic medium, students will examine and use the city of Italy’s landscape,
museums and culture as sources for creative exploration and research. This
course will give students a greater awareness of the role of drawing,
photography, painting, and printmaking as an investigative process in the
development of creative work and it’s use as an expressive means of
communication. This course will be divided between working on creative work on
location in Italy and utilizing the cities world class museums and galleries.
Students will also learn how to utilize a sketchbook/journal/phone in the
development of creative research, the documentation of the city, and a source for
the stimulation and development of ideas.

INFX 639 (x-listed with INFX 499) is an intensive introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) with emphasis on how to design and build intelligent applications. Google Colaboratory, along with packages such as Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and OpenAI gym, will be used to create powerful AI systems. Topics include: (1) the history of AI; (2) artificial neural networks (ANNs), machine learning (ML); (3) convolutional neural networks (CNNs); (4) recurrent neural networks (RNNs); (5) generative models, including variational autoencoders (VAEs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and other generative models (e.g., Boltzmann Machines and Hidden Markov Models) to generate pictures and faces; (6) reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms; and (7) the design and implementation of a deep learning application (i.e., one of the following: deep learning for intelligent agents; or deep learning for game playing; or deep learning for finance; or deep learning for robotics).

Printmaking is both a tool and artistic practice that brings images to the pubic through illustrated books, newspapers, and through the production of artistic prints. The invention of the Gutenberg press helped transform Italy during the Renaissance period and during the 15th century prints were mass produced and created for the middle and lower class providing access to reproductions of artworks produced by artists such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Titan.
Students in this course will be explore the development and the influence of the Renaissance period in Florence had upon both the art of printmaking and the formation of the new career of printmaker during the late fifteenth century and throughout the sixteenth century in Italy. Students will also be exposed to historical prints and drawings that explore the context of related paintings, sculpture, and architecture, describing a period when printmaking opened up new ways to make a living and transformed the mechanisms of Renaissance visual culture.Students will study works Giovanni Pietro da Birago, Cornelis Cort, Mantegna, Durer, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, among others from the Renaissance period.
