Computer-Assisted Art

This studio art course is an opportunity to apply digital photography, text and other…

design elements to final projects such as an accordion-fold book using Photoshop and other programs. It will also include a campus field trip to view examples from the University of Iowa’s extensive collection of rare and limited edition artist’s books.

Instructor

Janet LauroeschJanet Lauroesch earned her BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts and her MFA in Printmaking from Rochester Institute of Technology’s College of Fine and Applied Arts. Since then, drawing, photography, printmaking and book arts (collectively known as works on paper) have been her specialties for the duration of her twenty-five year career. Previously an instructor for the Art Academy of Cincinnati for four years and a visiting lecturer at Cornell College for eight, she currently teaches workshops to undergraduates at Cornell College and graduate students at the University of Iowa Medical Education and Research Facility.

An active artist, Lauroesch has exhibited her work in galleries and museums in the northeast and Midwest, and has had artwork reproduced in several arts and literary journals. She enjoys the integration of science and art, whether the chemistry integral to traditional printmaking and photography or the digital technology of contemporary arts, and her recent work related to human anatomy aptly reflects this combination, an example of which may be viewed on the University of Iowa’s Daily Palette web site archive.
