100 Days of Making

This exhibit showcases work by students in Professor Sanda Iliescu’s 100 Days of Making, a course that is borne of the belief that artists and designers learn most when they engage in daily making.

Instead of following the traditional class model that is centered on a final project or event (exam, final paper, or final review), the work of this class revolves around the daily practice and production of each student. At the beginning of the semester, each student identified a project they then explored every day over the course of 100 days, posting their daily work on Instagram. This year’s students chose to explore a wide variety of media and crafts, including weaving, plaster casting, cloth dyeing with natural pigments, sculpture with found objects, and watercolor on paper or mylar.
