Our very own Marjorie Och will be chairing the session,”Reflections on Where We Are and Where We Are Going with Technology in the Art History Classroom” at the annual SECAC (Southeastern College Art Conference) in Savannah this week. As the new president of Art Historians Interested in Pedagogy and Technology (AHIPT), she will oversee the first session at SECAC. Presenters will outline current uses of technology in teaching and research through demonstration and workshop. We will consider tools such as VoiceThread, audio-casting, wikis, blogs, and digitizing personal collections of art ephemera and images for incorporation into online or blended courses. We will also consider best practices for introducing new technology into traditional lectures, fostering pedagogical change within departments and institutions, and negotiating curricular needs with administrators. |

TONIGHT! Tristin Lowe’s Mocha Dick The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the VCU department of Sculpture + Extended Media are proud to present: Tristin Lowe cost: $8 (VMFA members $5) Free for members of Canvas and Friends of Art, but tickets required “Philadelphia based artist Tristin Lowe shares a sensibility of an important group of American artists such as Tim Hawkinson, Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy. He deals with the abject and the vulnerable, with childhood and the visceral. His wacky sculptures and installations employ pumps, engines, valves, gizmos of all sorts to animate and amplify the essential pathos in his work. Whether replicating the intimate spaces of childhood memory; or making a clown fly, a bed urinate, or a pillow gurgle bourbon; Lowe’s sculptures and installations evoke both child-like fantasy and a sophisticated attention to the Surrealist world of dreams. The carnivalesque first impression is quickly subverted by the darker content.” (from http://www.royalhibernianacademy.ie/html/exhibitions/lowe_06.html) “Tristin Lowe’s colossal sculpture Mocha Dick [currently on view at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts through November 27] is a fifty-two-feet-long recreation of the real-life albino sperm whale that terrorized early 19th-century whaling vessels near Mocha Island in the South Pacific. Mocha Dick, described in appearance as “white as wool,” engaged in battle with numerous whaling expeditions and inspired Herman Melville’s epic Moby-Dick (1851). Lowe worked with the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia to make the sculpture: a large-scale vinyl inflatable understructure sheathed in white industrial felt.”(from http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/Exhibitions/Tristin-Lowe/) http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/Exhibitions/Tristin-Lowe/ |
Congratulations to our own Brian Davis, whose piece, Sightline, was included in 1708′s InLight this year!! Brian teaches Design Principles and will be teaching Sculpture I next semester. (photo credit: Charles Gibbs) |
(disregard last week’s post- InLight is THIS Friday, October 21) P From the 1708 website: The James River runs through the heart of downtown Richmond and is truly a lifeline for the River City. Once a major avenue for commerce, the James is now a popular recreation destination. At the heart of the site is Historic Tredegar Iron Works, once one of the South’s largest producers of cannon and railroad rails, a fact that led to Richmond’s selection as the capital of the confederacy. Tredegar Iron Works is now home to the American Civil War Center, the nation’s first museum to interpret the Civil War from Union, Confederate, and African American perspectives. This site has particular resonance this year as it is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The evening will also include a Community Lantern Parade. Click here to find out how you can participate in the parade. Fun for the whole family, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience and participate in public art!” |

This weekend, a group of students headed out to King George to paint a semi truck… The truck is the backdrop for Sonja Gallahan’s above ground pool. Sonja is a five time cancer survivor; when she came to UMW’s Dept of Art and Art History, our students jumped at the opportunity to bring some extra sunshine to her view. Led by Lauren Horton and Joe DiBella, the group included Kayla Bretzin, Ashleigh Buyers, Cheryl Elliot, Mattson Fields, Katie Rosinski, and Emilia Sanchez.
