How can modes of collaboration help us articulate and understand the movements we make and those ideas that pass between us? As a strategy for making, migratory concepts, practices, artifacts and structures serve as conceptual entry points for creative partnerships between artists and artists, artists and communities and artists and professionals.

  • UACC 244 Collaborative Studio: The Democratic Multiple



    1.5 - 3 credits undefined hours
    200 level undergraduate course

    Beginning with movements like Dadaism and Fluxus, modern artists have tried to subvert the traditional systems of exhibition and commerce by embracing utilitarian processes and venues to bring their work to a broader audience.

This course will focus on the multiple, and the technical and conceptual possibilities of creating editions of images and objects. Students will use offset lithography, molding and casting in clay, and screenprinting in their assignments to engage the community. Artists such as the Guerrilla Girls, Shephard Fairey, Yayoi Kusama, and Andy Warhol will be looked at, and field trips to local historical and cultural institutions will be included.

  • UTPS 500 Literacy + Primary Sources - An Introduction for Teachers

    College of Critical & Professional Studies

    1.5 - 3 credits undefined hours
    500 level graduate course

    Effective teachers integrate literacy-based experiences into their classrooms to help students become better readers, writers, communicators and learners. Literacy and the uses of reading and writing in the classroom go beyond the interpretation of texts and the acquisition of critical thinking skills. Literature can humanize, complicate, and make issues in the humanities and science classrooms more tangible for students. The class will employ the resources from the Library of Congress to explore the ways in which archival material-letters, music, photographs-can enhance the understanding of texts. We will examine how texts can help students engage with different subject matters. Finally, we look at the act of writing as a way to engage students with literature, a way engage students as they bring imagery, sounds, meaning and expression alive through their words and the words of others. Each participant receives a copy of the Library of Congress book Poetry 180.

  • VPAS 602 History + Philosophy of Murals for Education

    College of Critical & Professional Studies

    3 credits 42.0 hours
    600 level graduate course

    There is a long tradition of art designed for wall areas to communicate, decorate, inspire and more, as part of an architectural landscape for public viewing. These can be executed on the wall itself, in situ, or worked out in the artist’s studio and later installed. A mural is designed for a specific space and impacts the community, and it reflects a time and place in a unique way. Often, the visual effects are an enticement to attract public attention to social issues or reflect values and attitudes. State-sponsored public art expressions, particularly murals, are often used by regimes as a tool of mass-control and propaganda, or a mural may be a part of a social commentary from the people. In all cases, these works represent important messages. Murals can have a dramatic impact whether consciously or subconsciously on the attitudes of a passerby, as they exist in the spaces where people live and work. This class explores the history of the form, the major movements and well known creators, including the Mexican muralists of the 1930’s, the Work Projects Administration, and the contemporary use and impact of these works.

    College of Critical & Professional Studies

    3 credits 42.0 hours
    600 level graduate course

    Because education is deeply rooted in the context of broader social conditions, the purpose of education determines what is taught in schools and other cultural institutions and impacts how we view the arts within our society. This course enables participants to develop an understanding and appreciation of the role the visual arts have played in our evolution from the earliest evidence of man’s art making to the visual culture within which we now live, where signs and symbols form the very essence of our cultural experience. Beginning with our biological need to make things ‘pretty’, this course will explore the history of ideas in art education, the theories, and the innovators who influenced the way we learn. Through this investigation into the ideas underlying education in art and material culture, participants will explore with special emphasis on the relationship between school and society. An understanding of how cognitive development relates to creativity and the stages of growth in children will inform the participant of the potential that visual art has to positively impact learning. Finally, this course will provide an overview of materials and art making techniques appropriate to create an art-infused, elementary classroom through hands-on art making experiences.
