  • ADS-3120: Addiction Prevention Programming

    With opioid addiction and heroin overdose at an all-time high, the United States government has shifted its focus from the traditional post-abuse rehabilitation models to prevention programming. The ability to develop targeted and effective anti-addiction psycho-education programming is now a required skill set for employment in the behavioral health treatment field, especially as federal funding for abstinence-based drug education has more than quadrupled in recent years. This course explores historic attempts at drug abstinence education with a focus on the DARE model and similar youth prevention programming. Additionally, students examine the theoretical tenets of community resourcing and empowerment using strength-based and applied community psychology lenses. Finally, the course asks students to analyze the achievements and shortcomings of past prevention programming and to co-create informed therapeutic outreach projects for potential use out in the recovery field.

  • ART-3011: Collage & Transformation

    ‘Collage’ is derived from the French, coller, “to paste”: the collager literally culls from the environment cultural objects and images and juxtaposes them in new and often unexpected ways. The practice includes appropriation, assemblage, and the gluing together of a variety of materials including paper, found images, fabric, natural objects and any other material found suitable by the artist in the service of their overall theme. As such, collage is an incredibly democratizing and accessible art form. The collage artist can produce visually rich and sophisticated imagery quite easily, without extensive training in draftsmanship or painting. It is a method whereby images, identities and objects of mass and consumer culture may be reappropriated and used for re-empowerment. In this class we will learn not only traditional and more current techniques for collage, but also the history of the medium and its potential for personal exploration and expression, as well as social and political communication.

  • ART-3015: Graven Image: Art, Religion, and Culture

    The Abrahamic injunction against making images of the divine is a recognition of the direct and immediate power of image over reason and even faith. From the Renaissance forward, the making of images was in western cultures the purview of practiced artists and craftsperson’s and well controlled by elites. In the century and a half since the advent of photography, the role of the artist has been rarified. While the making of images has been democratized and commercialized to the point where now we all are image makers, and all images are commercial. Image has come to drive definitions of self, public opinion and debate. Recognizing how and why images work, how they affect our perceptions, how to unpack, subvert and recreate them, and the appropriation of the role of image maker from Artist to Advertiser and back to the People will be the core of the class. Readings include but not limited to: Walter Benjamin, Susan Sontag, Clement Greenberg, David Hockney, Dave Hickey, Niel Postman.

  • ART-3180: Parallel Worlds: Renaissance to Modern Art Europe & the Americas

    Parallel Worlds examines art practices across the hemispheres from 1300 to 1950. The course will unpack the influence and stylistic variances within European (and later international) art during this period. Class sessions will be divided into two parts. One half of the class will be devoted to observing the art of Europe and its stylistic progressions starting with Giotto in Italy to survey art from the Renaissance, to Mannerism, to the Baroque, etc. The second half of the session will explore the colonial counterpart of these movements as seen in the artistic traditions of the Americas (San Miguel de Huejotzingo, the quilts of Gee’s Bend, Frida Kahlo, etc.). We will see how these styles mixed with the indigenous population and the African peoples, as seen in Mexico, Peru, and the United States. By the end of the course, we will examine how the Americas now export their artistic traditions eastward and across the globe. The course will utilize visual samples, theoretical writings, class discussion, and museum trips in order to enrich understanding of the art of these periods with visual sensation.

  • ART-3240: Contemporary View of Prehistoric to Gothic Art

    Have we really changed since we walked out of the plains and began to develop the civilized world?

  • ART-3300: A Joyful Noise: Music, Photography, Dissonance

    A Joyful Noise is an experiential art history and studio course that engages students of all sensibilities and skills in hands-on postmodern thought, music appreciation and art making practices. A Joyful Noise is about the relationship between photography and music, catalyzed by their dependence on recording, copies, and mechanical reproduction. The class will engage a wide range of musical and photographic movements from across the 20th Century to the present with special attention paid to noise, sound and dissonance. We will see and hear how the two mediums have influenced each other from concrete Futurist music, to the silence of John Cage, the roar of No Wave and the primal collage of the present, including the ways in which the photographic image has played an important role in contextualizing music through album covers, documentary work, and videos. Finally, we will examine the physicality of recorded music and light by comparing the photographic negative to the grooves of vinyl records or magnetic recording tape. Artists, musicians and movements that will be discussed will include: the Futurists, Erik Satie, John Cage, Yoko Ono, No Wave, Sun Ra, Alice & John Coltrane, Julius Eastman, Brian Eno, and Black Dice, amongst many more. Readings include texts by: Theodor Adorno, Amiri Baraka, and Jacques Attali amongst others. Learning formats include lecture, discussion, art making and art critique.

  • ART-3440: Post-Studio Aesthetic

    The Post-Studio Aesthetic is an experiential art history and studio course that engages students of all sensibilities and skills in hands-on postmodern thought and art making practices. Core characteristics of this framework are the blurring of art and life and the abandonment of the use of the studio in favor of making art out in the world. What are the distinctive roles of artists and audiences in this context? How do we discern art from real life? What is the relevancy of a studio practice in our contemporary world? How does an artist track the impact of his/her work? In attempting to answer these types of questions students are exposed to the lives, works, and methods of early and cutting edge postmodern artists and also to the theoretical contributions of key scholars in the fields of aesthetics and cultural studies. Learning formats include lecture, discussion, art making and art critique.

  • ART-3800: Collage and Transformation Dissonance

    Our world is an onslaught of visual stimulation. We need a way to organize chaos and think in images and objects. Collage/assemblage is a ubiquitous and powerful form of reappropriation, born of outrage and nihilism in the depths of the first World War. What was analog is now digital, static now atemporal. From flat to 3D to virtual frames, we research and practice the art of visual composition from appropriated imagery in order to recognize our own impulses and pursue needed transformation.

  • ART-3901: Special Topics in Drawing

    It is said that “drawing is the fundament of art.” Drawing is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal, and utterly direct art form, one with its own concepts, characteristics, and techniques. Drawing is not governed by any particular imagery, but rather encompasses a variety of approaches, including realist, abstract, modernist, and post-modernist. Contemporary drawing explores surface, mark, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality in turn. Key techniques such as using nature to induce marks, observation and design, value, line, rhythm, balance, perspective, anatomy, and formal structure are all explored.

    Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million dollar deals when they hear the word negotiation, the truth is that we negotiate all the time. Through this course students will be able to understand the basic types of negotiations, the phases of negotiations, and the skills needed for successful negotiating. The course will provide students with a sense of understanding about their opponent and they will develop a confidence to not settle for less than they feel is fair.

Negotiation is not a skill to take out once and a while when a business person has to make a deal. Negotiating is a way to get what you want out of life and business.
