MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Austin and the TASA Conference at St.
Edward’s University. It promises to be an outstanding
program of speakers, events and forums around
the topics of Community and Art. After 42 years,
the members of the Texas Association of Schools
of Art, though well versed in both topics, are in for a
exceptional gathering of stimulating, informative and
down-right fun with fellow artists and friends.
FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIRS
We would like to welcome you and thank you for being
a part of Art + Community, the 42nd Annual TASA
conference, hosted by St. Edward’s University. We’ve
had a lot of fun planning this year’s conference, and
hope you enjoy what’s in store. The 2012 conference
theme, Art + Community: a shared dialog of green
art, social activism, collaboration and community art,
explores the open exchange of ideas, influences, policies
and actions that artists and communities engage in
both at the local and global level. With over 40 speakers
from all corners of Texas, and a keynote speech and
workshop from Houston-born artist Mel Chin, we hope
this will be an exciting fun-filled conference.

Mel Chin was born in Houston, Texas in 1951, he
graduated from Peabody College in Nashville,
Tennessee in 1975, and later moved to New York City
in 1983. Chin is highly motivated by social, political
and cultural realities, and his work reflects his concern
for the environment and social consciousness. His
work is often exhibited or installed in public spaces
beyond the traditional confines of the gallery or
museum. A conceptual artist, Chin’s body of work
ranges from earthworks to animated films. For Chin,
art has the power to provoke greater social awareness
and a sense of responsibility in the viewer.
Through his community actions, he has engaged
innercity neighborhoods and helped to rejuvenate local
economies. His interest in science, ecology and the
environment can be seen in some of his most famous
works including Revival Field, s.p.a.w.n. and knowmad
were featured in the first season of the pbs series art21
(Art in the Twenty First Century).
His most recent project, the Fundred Dollar Bill Project,
is an innovative artwork made of millions of drawings.
This creative collective action is intended to support
Operation Paydirt, an extraordinary art/science
project uniting three million children with educators,
scientists, health care professionals, designers, urban
planners, engineers and artists. After Katrina had
wiped out much of New Orleans, Chin was invited to
the city to see how he could make a difference in the
community. Working with scientists, Chin found that the
lead contamination in the soil in New Orleans was at
a hazardous level. To find a solution to this problem,
Operation Paydirt was put into action. In 2012, once
Fundred reaches its goal of 3 million artworks, an
armored truck, running on vegetable oil, will pick up the
drawings and take them to Washington D.C., where
we will request from Congress an even exchange of
Fundred Dollars for 300 million dollars worth of aid for
New Orleans.

Catherine CaesarCatherine Caesar’s current research interests include
feminist art, conceptual practice, and reading rooms/
libraries in contemporary art. Earning her doctorate at
Emory University in 2005, she produced a dissertation
titled “Personae: The Feminist Conceptual Work of
Eleanor Antin and Martha Rosler, 1968-1977.” She is
an Assistant Professor of art at the University of Dallas.
Caesar’s paper will investigate Robert Smithson’s
notion of “aerial art”, investigating its relationship to the
Texas landscape and its impact on the conception
of sculpture and the formation of a modern, itinerant
identity in a transglobal community.

Stacy Schultz received her Ph.D. in Art History from
Rutgers University in 2004. Her previous teaching
positions include Visiting Assistant Professor at
Kentucky Statement University (2004-2005) and The
University of Texas at Arlington (2007-2008). She has
also taught in the California State University system
(CSU Northridge, CSU Fullerton, CSU San Bernardino,
and San Diego State University) ranging from women’s
studies to nineteenth century art. Her dissertation, “The
Female Body in Performance: Themes of Beauty,
Body Image, Identity, and Violence,” has evolved
into two lectures given at the College Art Association:
“Performing the Black Nude: The Artist’s Body as
a Contested Site” (2005) and “Southern California
Feminism and Body Image: A Performative Response”
(2007). She will present her paper, “The Intersection of
Social Activism and Community: Performing Civil Rights
in Southern California”, at the 2012 TASA conference.
Robert Hite
Born in 1956 in rural Virginia, Robert Hite attended
Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and
the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. After
studying traditional ink brush painting in Malaysia, he
worked as a studio assistant with Washington Color
School painter Leon Berkowitz. Informed both by a rich
southern narrative tradition and a closeness to natural
environments, Hite’s imagery often draws upon his
memories of youthful wanderings in the Virginia tide
waters. He has sought out and photographed rural
dwellings not only in the southern United States and the
Caribbean, but also in Central and South America, as
well as Europe and Asia. Working within and between
painting, sculpture and photography,
Hite’s highly refined technique and meticulous attention
to detail produce illusions that are both confounding
and transformative. In the photographic series
Imagined Histories, Hite resituates his architectural
sculptures in outdoor settings, magnifying the effects
of dislocation and displacement that is central to all
his imagery. In 1997, Hite and his family moved to a
nineteenthcentury Methodist church and parsonage in
the village of Esopus, New York. The artist is currently
represented by Susan Eley Fine Arts in New York City,
Cardwell Jimmerson Gallery in Los Angeles, Espacio
En Blanco in Madrid, and Pearl Arts Gallery in Stone
Ridge, New York. Hite will be a visiting artist at St.
Edward’s University, and will give a lecture presentation
of his work at the 2012 TASA conference. An
exhibition of his photographs will be on display in the
Scarborough Phillips Library at St. Edward’s University.
While a visiting artist, Hite will install a new sculpture
specifically designed for the St. Edward’s Campus.
This new work, “Crossing Safely”, was inspired by
a modest shack in Arrazola, Oaxaca, Mexico. This
sculpture addresses issues of immigration and border
crossing. You can see more of his work at
www.roberthite.com.

SESSION ONE
Sang-Mi Yoo // Assistant Professor at Texas Tech
Globalization has seemingly brought the world closer
together and has resulted in a heightened sense
of the familiar. This feeling of familiarity provides a
bridge through which Yoo can access and magnify
her perception of a world derived from personal
experience. In her work, the fictive nature of a space
that is both idealized and conditioned by our society
reflects skepticism and multiplicity as she obscures
the distinction between the past and the present,
stereotypes and the real, and collective and personal
memories. By embracing both personal and
collaborative presentations, her work explores the
possibilities of an idealized environment.
FLECK 106 PANEL: COLLABORATIVE/COMMUNITYBorderland Youth: A Social Geography
Revealed through Participatory Art Practice
Jason Reed // Assistant Professor of Photography //
Texas State University-San Marcos
Guided by a conceptual framework of reciprocity,
Borderland Youth at Texas State University is working
collaboratively with various communities of youth
living in the US/Mexico border region to creatively
reflect upon the cross-cultural, human experiences
existent within this significant social geography. By
utilizing participatory art practices we are able to create
a public body of work that functions as a tangible
mechanism to activate social awareness and provide
access to a more realistic, complex, and complete
story of the US/Mexico border and its residents. The
resulting work is exhibited, published, and ultimately
archived at Texas State University.Eastland Outdoor Art Museum
Cathi Ball // Assistant Professor // Howard Payne
Cathi Ball has completed work on the Eastland
Outdoor Art Museum, a project conceived in her
sketchbooks. This Museum is an attempt to make
art accessible to all the children of Eastland, Texas.
The museum includes 4ews2 works at 40 locations
completed over 3½ years with 144 local volunteers and
students. The project allows the students of Eastland
access to art while advertising the artist ‘work. This
community wide project has truly “painted the town”.
FLECK 108 PANEL: GREEN ART/ ENVIRONMENTALWe’re Green, Participatory and Public!
Randy Jewart // Director of Austin Green Art//www.austingreenart.org
The mission of Austin Green Art is to help the
community to fully understand the revolutionary calling
that defines “sustainability” by visually representing
it, inspiring people to engage it, and building
participatory programs that give people a real feeling
of its transformative power. We aspire to train a new
generation of artists who serve their communities and
to inspire a new generation of creative citizens. A
Green Artist is an agent for change, uniquely qualified
to merge environmental, social and economic
considerations into collaborative projects that raise
social network capital and community standards of
sustainability.
Curly, Shaggy, Gleaming, Streaming, The
Art of Hair: An Intimate Recycling Program
Rosemary Meza-DesPlas // El Centro College
This presentation examines the history of recycling
human hair to create art. The utilization of human hair
in art can be traced back to Queen Victoria’s reign in
the mid nineteenth century. It also examines the ways
human hair is used by contemporary artists. Artists ‘go
green’ by recycling a personal part of the human body
hair. Cultural perceptions about hair will be discussed
in an art historical context.
SESSION ONE
Red Listed
Catherine Prose // Assistant Professor of Art & Gallery Director // Midwestern State University
Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson is quoted as
saying that “destroying rainforest for economic gain
is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a
meal.” Art certainly does not have the ability to correct
global climate change, but it can educate and inform
in an evocative rather than didactic manner. There is
an abundant history of using nature as a metaphor
to reflect and comment on morals, values and
humankind. In the same respect, the use of nature as
a metaphor emulates an attempt to place ourselves
within nature. Today we face an unknown and unseen
nature as it is being lost before we discover it and
invented before we understand it.

SESSION ONE
Appreciating Life Through Art
Terry Barrett // Professor of Art Education & Art History // University of North Texas
This presentation will look at a diverse group of people
responding directly to contemporary works of art
and how these works affect their lives. Barrett has
been working with elderly in assisted-living homes,
cancer patients, autistic teen-agers, business men
and women, and students of all ages, pre-K through
Ph.D., in the USA and in Holland (visiting artist position).
He is concerned with people building meaningful
connections between contemporary art and their
personal and communal lives.
FLECK 109 PANEL: ART & COMMUNITY
The Struggle for Meaning Between The
Artist &The Audience: A Balance between
Artist and Community
Joe Kagle // Professor of Art // Lone Star College
To understand the artist, we start with what makes an
artist the creator that he becomes: the Complete Artist
Communicator. To accomplish this, the 21st century
artist uses all talents and abilities to serve humans
through making up for deficiencies in an individual. We
must understand fundamentals: 1) recruiting dedicated
individuals who use all their senses to communicate
with each other; 2) mix in the dedication and passion
of the focused creative effort; and 3) envision an ideate
transcending the surface to universal humanity.
Moving Beyond Image and into Community
with: Relational Aesthetics: Part 1
Georganna Tapley // Artist & Teacher at Art
Alliance Center // Brazosport College, Lee College
This workshop has a structure that deals with the
individual person as the artist and the teacher. When
catastrophic things occur within communities it
affects everyone. When hurricanes IKE and Katrina
devastated the shores and lives of thousands, it was
impossible for me to go into the classroom with the
attitude of lessons as normal. The relational and artist
parts of me collaborate with the participants to respond
to the events in the world around us. I use these events
to teach how artists with conscience might respond.
The Art becomes the result and or response to these
events.

SESSION TWO
THE RETURNING VET AND FILM NOIR: THE
PROBLEMATIC
Dr. John A. Calabrese // Professor of Visual Arts
// Texas Woman’s University
Dr. Calabrese will present film noir clips and discourse
related to the problematic. This means that the films
attempt to deal with a problem without overtly stating
it. Ostensibly these are thriller/suspense films, murder
mysteries. Beneath many plots are issues dealing
with the returning vet to a society that is less than
eager to have him, a world in which he does not fit.
He is oftentimes forced to assume the position of a
criminal who has to vindicate himself by overcoming
various insurmountable obstacles. Each film presents
variations on this theme.
FLECK 108 LECTURE: ART & COMMUNITY
THE ARTS TRIANGLE ARTSWALK PROJECT
Gary Washmon // Interim Chair of Visual Arts // Texas Woman’s University
A committee of faculty members was formed from the
various departments in the School of the Arts (soa);
Dance, Music, Drama and the Visual Arts to create an
identity for this new school and to create an event that
would encompass all of the arts in the soa.
COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS
Colby Parsons // Associate Professor of Art // Texas Woman’s University
Colby Parsons is a sculptor who has been involved
in several collaborative projects. One in Denmark with
sculptor Brian Boldon in 2006, one in Dallas with the
painter/sculptor Mark Collop from 2007–2008, and
one in Denton with electroacoustic composer Greg
Dixon from 2008 up to now. These collaborations
have incorporated a broad range of media including
clay, glass, video, wood, cardboard, found objects,
and light; and each one has taken its own direction
depending on the particular interests we share, and the
“chemistry” of the collaborative relationship. Most of
these have involved installation settings with some kind
of interactive element inviting the viewer’s participation
in the work.

Marjorie A. Zielke, Ph. D // Assistant Professor //University of Texas at Dallas
The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) offers
a unique masters and mfa in Arts and Technology
(atec). The atec program is one of the fastest growing
degree plans at UT Dallas. A Ph.D. program is also
in the final phases of development. Students study the
application of technology in art to produce interactive
exhibits, computer games, training and simulations,
web programs, animation, 3-d modeling and other
technology-based art media. Students can also
combine the study of atec with Emerging Media and
Communications (emac) to study the evolution of text
and narrative within the context of arts and technology.
A GROWING UNIVERSITY – THE GRADUATE

Leighton McWilliams // Associate Professor & Assistant Chair of Art & History // University of Texas Arlington
UT Arlington is a growing University with enrollment
approaching 30,000. UT Arlington has a mfa program
that offers study in one of four media areas- Visual
Communications, Film/ Video, Glass, and Intermedia.
SESSION TWO
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR EFFECTIVE
PRACTICE AND LEADERSHIP IN ART
EDUCATION
Christopher Adejumo // Associate Professor of Visual Art Studies/Art Education // University of Texas
The mission of the art education program at the
University of Texas at Austin is to provide excellence in the
preparation of art teachers, art museum educators, and
community art programmers. The aim of the program
is to cultivate top-rated scholarship through institutional
and community partnerships and research-based
development of art education theory and practice. The
art education faculty members are committed to helping
students make connections between knowledge acquired
in the classroom, student teaching in the public schools,
and experiential learning in alternative settings in the
community. The introduction of the program at the 2012
TASA conference will entail a detailed description of the
degree options in the graduate art education program,
which are school focus, art museum education, and
community-based art education.
Their large department enrolls more than 800
undergraduate majors and boasts extensive facilities.
Arlington is situated directly between Dallas and
Fort Worth and is convenient to an extensive cultural
experience, many world-class museums, and a
growing economy.
The concept of the Art Triangle came about through
looking at a map of campus and noting that a line
drawn around all of the buildings in the soa created
a triangular shape. Following this theme the concept
of a connective experience tying these sites together
began to emerge as an interactive tour or artswalk,
featuring the various arts in non-traditional settings; in
and around the buildings on the map, where virtually
anything could happen.

SESSION TWO
LOW-RIDER BIKES IN HIGHER EDUCATION:
A PROJECT BY THROW AWAY YOUTH
Future Akins // Assistant Professor of Art Education & Visual Studies // Texas Tech University
Inspired by Chicano youth culture that involves “low-
rider” bikes and hoping to motivate junior high students
to consider art as a stepping stone towards attending
college, Future Atkins co-created an art opportunity
for low-income youth in Lubbock, Texas. Fourteen
and fifteen year-olds enrolled in an art class where
they created low-rider bikes with discarded parts and
throw-away materials, while Texas Tech University art
studio majors in a kinetic sculpture course created
“dream bikes” using metals and fabrication work. Both
sets of resulting bikes were displayed along with true
low-rider bikes from the local community in a sidewalk
parade. This presentation will dissect and discuss both
student populations’ experiences and performances,
community and academic reactions/feedback, fund-
raising efforts and obstacles, cultural considerations
and reactions based on social class, race and
ethnicity.

union. This project is an extension of his involvement
with the “Iron Trail to the Arctic” in 2008 and the in-
state extension of the “Chain” that is the “Charm
Bracelet for Texas”, to be cast during the 2012 TASA
conference. The academic iron casting community
begun by Julius Schmidt in the 1950’s, has grown and
prospered. There are university iron foundry programs
in most states and many independent artists have
set up their own facilities. The “Cast Iron Chain” is
an effort to bring all these disparate individuals into
communication for the exchange of ideas, techniques,
and aesthetic deliberations.

ARTS 116 WORKSHOP: INNOVATION IN FOUNDATIONS*COLORED SLIPS AND THE CLAY SURFACE
Stan Irvin // Professor of Art // St. Edward’s
Connie McCreary // Artist & Educator // St. Ed’s
There is a long history of potters using colored slips
and engobes to decorate the clay surface. Due to
their opacity, sensuous texture, potential for color, and
possibilities for application at various stages of drying,
these types of liquid clays offer artists and potters
many decorative options. seu art faculty, Stan Irvin and
Connie McCreary, will demonstrate various surface
decoration and forming techniques using primarily
colored clays and slips. They will present options
for both low and high-fire. Workshop attendees are
invited to participate in a hands on experience with
slip decoration that can be employed by beginning
students and offer some interesting options for more
advanced exploration. * Limiit first 20 participants
states across the country have joined together to
undertake a collaborative art project of unprecedented
proportions. Working in regional groups of five to
nine people, the artists have created an immense
body of collaborative three-dimensional artwork.
Each participant was to create a “seed” element, the
beginning segment of a sculpture, which was then
passed onto other group members who each added
their own artistic element to every piece. Once the
cycle of exchange was complete, each artist will have
contributed to every sculpture, and there is one finished
sculpture for each person participating.

INNOVATION IN FOUNDATION
CURRICULUM
Leslie Mutchler // Assistant Professor of Art &
Area Head of 2-D Foundations // University of Texas
Mutchler’s interests in Foundations derive from the
Bauhaus Preliminary Course- and consequently
bringing relevance to these ideals. Foundations
should be comprised of three equally emphasized
components: craft (the teaching of technical
proficiency), context (relevant vocabulary and history),
and conceptual acuity (art and design as a pursuit
of knowledge). For the last forty years many art
departments have overlooked the critical potential of
Foundations. “I thrive on working with young, fresh
talented students that remain open and observant,
malleable and motivated” says Mutchler. “I hope to
heighten the status of Foundations within the academic
world, to bring about the new Bauhaus.”
DRAWING STRUCTURE: BEGINNING
DRAWING AND A DIY TEXTBOOK
Hollis Hammonds // Area Coordinator &
Assistant Professor of Art // St. Edward’s University
Drawing is possibly the most important foundational
skill for the beginning artist. It is also one of the most
popular subjects in art, with more drawing books on
the market today than most other disciplines. Finding
the right textbook for your course however is almost
impossible. As faculty we find ourselves piecing
together resources for our students, trying to balance
technique with concept, and often failing at finding
source material that is truly appropriate for a specific
course. Sometimes you have to take matters into your
own hands, and if you can’t find the right book… just
make one.
FROM 2D TO CROSS-DISCIPLINARY SPACE
– REVISING BEGINNING DESIGN
Eric Zimmerman // Assistant Professor of Art // St.
Edward’s University
How might two-dimensional design courses better
respond to contemporary cross-disciplinary space
and student needs?

TEACHING SOFTWARE ON THE FLY OR
RESOURCES FOR TEACHING
TECHNOLOGY OR HOW TO TEACH
COMPUTER INSTRUCTION FOR DUMMIES
Peter Tucker // Assistant Professor of Media Arts // Suny Fredonia // Assisant Professor of Media Arts // Suny Fredonia & St. Edward’s University
This workshop will provide participants with the tools
and resources needed to introduce technology into
studio classes. It is designed for the educator that does
not use technology in his or her own work, and may
not be comfortable with technology, but would like to
incorporate digital tools in their classroom. I will discuss
what technology is important, what is absolutely
necessary, and what you can teach with no budget.
The heart of the workshop explores teaching resources,
tutorials and on-line opportunities for both teacher
and student to learn and explore digital technologies.
Workshop attendees will be given access to a website
created specifically for the workshop that has links to
resources, ideas for assignments, and on-line tutorials.
ARTS 121 WORKSHOP: TECHNOLOGY* St. Edwards University Art department recently
undertook a restructuring of its two-dimensional design
course with this question in mind. Emphasizing design
process, this restructuring embeds learning hand skills
and design principals with reading and discussion.
The goal is to provide students with the tools to be both
articulate and technically accomplished within a world
that is increasingly cross-disciplinary. By providing
them with technical skills and theoretical frameworks
students are better prepared to engage and make in a
variety of fields.

EDUCATION
Jenny Bryson Clark // South Texas College
Political Science Faculty
Professor Richard Lubben // South Texas
College Visual Arts Faculty
We are entering our 5th year at South Texas College
hosting an annual human rights art exhibition in
conjunctions with the Human Trafficking Conference
sponsored by the Women’s Studies Committee.
Jennifer Clark from the STC Political Science
Department and Women’s Studies President would
present an overview of the Sex Trafficking Conference
and how they collaborate with artists to educate the
community and bring awareness of this global and
regional problem. Richard Lubben from the STC Art
Department and Exhibit Curator will show selected
images from previous shows and discuss how
artists have used their art to communicate a personal
experience, open a dialogue or encourage self-
reflection about the issue.
“CASH PAID FOR RAGS”: A “SKETCH-
BOOK” PERFORMANCE
Carol Flueckiger // Texas Tech University
This “sketchbook performance” is inspired by the
nineteenth-century practice of recycling rags for paper.
DEPORTES PARA COMPRATIR AND THE
ALBERGUES ESCOLARES INDIGENAS
(SPORTS FOR SHARING AND THE
INDIGENOUS SHELTER SCHOOLS OF
MEXICO)
Roger Colombik & Jerolyn Bahm
Colombik // Columbik Studios // Wimberly, TX
Working in Collaboration with the Mexican Association
of the United Nations and Deportes Para Compartir, we
are developing a documentary project that will raise
awareness about the cultural heritage of indigenous
children that are educated and cared for in shelter
schools. The shelters are located throughout the
country and often provide the only means of insuring
that children living in very remote communities can
receive three meals a day as well as a fine general
education. Deportes Para Compartir uses group sport
activities to promote the United Nations millennial goals
that include issues of gender equality and child health.
My project revisits the rag trade by taking discarded or
second-hand shirts and blueprinting them with phrases
and images from nineteenth-century material culture,
creating wearable hybrids of the early American
women’s movement and contemporary “artifacts” from
my local thrift store. Research and ideas for this project
were gathered at the American Antiquarian Society
in Worcester, MA, and the TTU Women’s Studies
Program.

THE BORDER WALL AND COMMUNITY
BASED ART EDUCATION
Bret Lef ler, Ph.D // Assistant Professor & Art Education Adviser // Houston, TX
The border wall controversy affects every citizen of
the United States and Mexico in one way or another
whether directly or indirectly. Teaching eight miles from
the border in McAllen, Texas has heightened Matthews’
awareness of the effects the wall is having on our
two countries and how these changes will impact our
lives for years to come. He uses the classroom as an
incubator to discuss the pros and cons of the wall and
what artists can do to bring awareness to the situation.
“Can border wall artwork change minds, influence
policy and alter popular culture?” asks Matthews. “Yes,
I believe it can.”
CAN BORDER WALL ARTWORK CHANGE
MINDS, INFLUENCE POLICY AND ALTER
POPULAR CULTURE
Tom Matthews // Assistant Chair & Visual Arts
Faculty // South Texas College
This presentation focuses on how art education
majors at the University of Texas at Brownsville have
addressed the needs of the community by developing
an exhibition using the border wall as a theme.
WHAT ROLE CAN ART PLAY? – BORDER
WALL
Scott Nicol // Visual Arts Faculty // South Texas College
The art of the modern and postmodern eras sought
to establish its autonomy, “art for art’s sake,” leaving
behind the societal functions of the past. In our time,
art is not supposed to do something, it is merely
supposed to be.
SESSION FOUR
FUNDRED: ENGAGING IN A 300 MILLION
DOLLAR DIFFERENCE
Mel Chin // Artist & Keynote Speaker
This workshop will engage Texas artists and educators
in a fun and simple art project with a powerful solution
based mission. You will leave prepared to mobilize
your community! The Fundred Dollar Bill Project
reaches out to students of all ages to create Fundred
Dollar Bills in hopes of gathering 300 million creative
voices from across the country in the form of drawings.
The original artworks will be delivered to congress with
a request that they are exchanged for their equivalent in
goods and service to transform the lead contaminated
soils in New Orleans and ultimately every lead affected
city.
BLOG, DESIGN, TECHNOLOGY
Daniel Lievens // Graphic Designer & Faculty
Member // St. Edward’s University
This presentation will discuss the use of blogs to
archive work, present new work, and give students a
venue for receiving and giving feedback outside of the
traditional critique. We’ll look at the use of blogs from
the student/user perspective as well as setting up and
structuring of the blogs from the faculty perspective.
ARTS 121 WORKSHOP: TECHNOLOGY*REALITY COMMUNITY: FOSTERING
A SENSE OF INVOLVEMENT IN THE
CLASSROOM AND BEYOND
Jana C. Perez // Texas Woman’s University
Many students today believe that they possess a
sense of community through social and screen
media such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs and texting
– often engaging in several of these simultaneously.
Are students really interacting in a communal way
via technology or simply settling for a less active,
internal dialogue? This presentation will outline the
results of key objectives and projects incorporated into
graphic design coursework that utilize both personal
relationships and technology to create and contribute
to the idea of community in and outside of the
classroom.
*Limit First 20 Participants
ART, AESTHETICS, EDUCATION AND
ACTIVISM DEALING WITH BORDER WALL
David Freeman // Visual Arts Faculty // South
Texas College
Photography has been a tool for social and political
change for many years and it can exude tremendous
educational authority. What better time than now for
artists to utilize art as a tool of enlightenment and
education on the specific issue of the border fence and
all the challenges it produces. The border fence strikes
at the very essence of our culture and democracy. I
ask my class how we can investigate the relationships
of image, community, concept, and the cognitive
process. In this political climate how do we produce a
didactic principle and call authority into question and
do it via digital photography.
ARTS 114 PANEL: COLLABORATION
It also includes specific research and curriculum to
heighten awareness for the need of community based
art and arts education within secondary and upper
division students.
This has led to the segregation of fine art, relegating
it to the rarified world of galleries and museums, as
distinct from daily life and the “real world.” This poses
a dilemma for artists who seek to engage social
or political issues, such as the walls that are being
erected along the U.S. – Mexico border. More than 600
miles of border wall have been built, tearing through
cities, farms, and wildlife. In the face of something that
inflicts itself so powerfully and destructively upon the
“real world,” what role can art play?
