Part pedagogy and part performance, students will be challenged to make cogent observations and informed critiques of professional singers on recordings and performances by their peers as well as execute and display vocal improvement through performances of their own.

  • VPAS 602 History & Philosophy of Murals for Education



    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.

Discover how murals are intrinsically connected to the places and communities where they exist. In addition, participants look at the social needs, issues and history of a site. Through viewing murals in their environments and hearing from selected muralists, participants gain an understanding of the connections murals have to communities, places and the artists who created them. Discussions include connecting themes such as the African-American narrative, students and youth voices, and murals about neighborhood history. Through writing and documenting the tours and comparing contemporary works with murals throughout history, gain a wealth of knowledge on this rich history.

In order to develop imagery and understand the process, students will investigate case studies of murals that incorporate mosaic, printmaking and temporary wheat pastes, among other materials including photo/collage based, and printed and hand-drawn/painted. Through drawing, collage, photography, and printmaking, students will learn how these methods can all be used in creating a design. Additionally, students will learn basic Photoshop concepts, which will be used in designing their mural. Sample materials will be presented and discussed and students will be inspired by the range of mediums and possibilities! Students will learn ways of approaching a collaborative process in order to create a mural, as well as develop a smaller portrait mural that will give them the ability to simplify complex imagery with multiple values. Students in the course will design and use various techniques on and off the computer, project the design on parachute cloth, paint it, and install the mural.

  • VPAS 607 Integrating Visual Arts Into the Classroom



    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.
