Weathergrams: A Spring Peace ProjectJudy Stone-Nunneleyartist & educator

Judy will present a hands-on workshop focusing on the creation

of simple printed collages with found images, text, and expressive

monoprints. Printed on recycled paper sacks, the Weathergrams are

records of contemplation, shared observations of the natural world, and

messages of hope.

arts 110 Workshop: Green Art/Environmental Limit: first 15 participants

arts 113 Panel: Collaborative Projects

Imagillaboration – A National Sculpture Collaboration ProjectJack Grondirector/professor of fine art, texas a&m, corpus christi

From 2007–2009, 106 sculptors representing twenty-six 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.

A Cast Iron Chain for AmericaMeredith “Butch” Jackprofessor of art at lamar university

Meredith Jack will present his on-going project to cast a cast iron chain

with a link cast in all 50 states of the 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.

Taking Iron to the ArcticDonnie Keendirector of keen foundry in houston, tx

In 2008 Donnie Keen of Keen Foundry in Houston led a group of

artists and artisans north of the Arctic Circle to the Village of Wiseman,

permanent population 13, to cast a cast iron public sculpture. He will

present the planning, logistics, and implementation of this ambitious

endeavor and the five year reunion pour set for June 2012.

UTSA Collaborative EditionsKent Rushprofessor of art at the university of texas at san antonio

Since 1983 the University of Texas at San Antonio has informally run

utsa Collaborative Editions (utsace). Professors Dennis Olsen and Kent

Rush who head the printmaking program at utsa have worked with the

semester long visiting artist/faculty and faculty members to produce

a substantial portfolio of wonderful prints primarily in lithography,

intaglio and relief. The two Master Printers are former mfa graduated

printmakers, Neal Cox and Steven Carter.

arts 116 Workshop: Innovations in Foundations Limit: first 20 participants

Colored Slips And The Clay SurfaceStan Irvin & Connie McCrearyartists & educators at st. edward’s university

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.

arts 120 Panel: Innovations in Foundations

Innovations in Foundation CurriculumLeslie Mutchlerassistant professor of art, area head of 2d foundations at the university of texas at austin

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, context, and conceptual acuity. “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.”

From 2D to Cross-Disciplinary SpaceEric Zimmermanassistant professor of art at st. edward’s university

How might two-dimensional design courses better respond to

contemporary cross-disciplinary space and student needs? St. Edwards

University Art department recently undertook a restructuring of its

two-dimensional design course with this question in mind. Emphasizing

design process, conceptualization, and the relationship between two,

three, and four-dimensional thinking, in a laboratory type studio

environment, this restructuring embeds learning hand skills and design Session Three : SaturdaySession Three : Saturday 3938

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.

Drawing Structure: Beginning Drawing and a DIY TextbookHollis Hammonds, area coordinator & assistant professor of art at 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.

Teaching Software on the Fly or Resources for Teaching Technology or How to teach computer stuff you don’t know or Computer Instruction for DummiesPeter Tucker, assistant professor of media arts at suny fredonia, assistant professor of media arts at 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.

Deportes Para Compartir and the Albergues Escolares IndigenasRoger Colombik & Jerolyn Bahm Colombikcolombik studios in wimberly texas

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.

Session IV

Human Rights Art & Community EducationJenny Bryson Clark & Professor Richard Lubbensouth texas college

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” Carol Flueckigerassociate professor of art, texas tech university

This “sketchbook performance” is inspired by the nineteenth-century

practice of recycling rags for paper. Many early American broadsides,

children’s books, almanacs, and newspapers printed the phrase “Cash

Paid for Rags” to solicit old cloth for use in paper-making.

arts 113 Panel: Art & Activism

arts 114 Panel: Collaboration

Dealing with the Border WallDavid Freemanvisual arts faculty at south texas college

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.


Can border wall artwork change minds, influence policy and alter popular culture?Tom Matthewsassistant chair & visual arts faculty at south texas college

Matthews 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.”

The Border Wall and Community Based Art EducationBret Lefler, Ph.D.assistant professor/art ed. adviser/art coordinator at the university of texas at brownsville & texas southmost 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 WallScott Nicolvisual arts faculty at 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. 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.”

arts 121 Workshop: Technology Limit: first 20 participants

Reality Community: Fostering a Sense of Involvement in the Classroom and Beyond Jana C. Perezassistant professor of graphic design, 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. Design

students in particular, as learners and future practitioners of visual

Fundred: Engaging in a 300 Million Dollar DifferenceMel Chinartist & keynote speaker

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.

arts 120 Panel: Art & Community


communication, must be able to function in both virtual and real

communities. 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.

Blog, Design, TechnologyDaniel Lievensgraphic designer & faculty member at 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.
