Goal of This Course
In this course you will
Most of the people only see the practical side of smell. Smell is like an additives that gives a good side-effect: it functions to make you feel relaxed or happy.
What we want to achieve in this course is a bit deeper than this.

Syllabus + Rough Plan
Smell and Art
Maki Ueda
KABK PB301
What is it that we are smelling, what does it make you imagine, what does it make you feel? Could we incorporate the olfactory sense in art? Could smell be a medium carrying information?
This course will deal with these questions through a combination of lectures, workshops, intermediate presentations and a final presentation.
In this course we will start with looking at examples of art and the olfactory sense, then we will discuss the potential of the olfactory sense in art.
The workshops will first focus on fieldwork and on observing the environment with the olfactory sense. You will smell a lot and learn how to communicate about smell with others, using a basic vocabulary for analyzing and expressing the character of a smell.
Secondly we will extract smells from raw materials like soup, cheese burgers, old books, rubber tyres, flowers, and smelly T-shirts. You will learn how to do this yourself and how to compose new smells (in the most simple way).
