Grades are submitted, break is well underway, and it’s time again for my semester round up where I look back on teaching these past few months…
Hiromi Hananda, “Untitled,” vinyl mural in the Music Building
Drawing II / Advanced Drawing: Alternative Media
We had a lot of fun in this class experimenting with Adobe Illustrator, cut vinyl, print-on-demand products, sewing, layered resin drawings, and spray-paint stencils.
Marissa Gain and Shawna Clayton, “Homage to Roy Lichtenstein” mural in the women’s restroom in the Art Department
Painting II / Advanced Painting: First World Problems
I tweaked this class a little bit from last year’s version – I added a theme to the class, “First World Problems,” which was a nice frame for examining privilege while building painting skills on both a large and small scale. We did large murals, and we also did a collection of nine “selfies” on small 4″x4″ canvases.
Natasha Carr “Grease,” food art performance
Intermedia: Food & Art
In this class we spent a lot of time reading about our relationship to food, learning how to shoot video projects, and executing performances and installations.
Cleveland Fieldtrip, In front of the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland
We also took a road trip to Cleveland! We drove up and back in one day and we visited the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland.
