Adjunct Faculty, Core Studies, First Year Program
School of the Art Institute of Chicago Fall 2004
While working as a part of team of four faculty, I developed and am now teaching amulti-diciplinary foundations course for 65 students. This all day class meets twice a week, with all students working on the same assignment simutaniously. As part of a com-plete overhaul of SAIC’s First Year Program, our team started meetings in December 2003. Our plan has been to introduce the students to a wide variety of artistic practices,materials and methods of creating art work in order to shake them out previously held limits. I have designed and presented demonstrations and lectures for large scale draw-ing, mold making, quick fabrication, performance, observational strategies, audio and video production and editing, Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.
