The following are projects, systems of critique, guides, PCA awards, and distributive student leadership that I have developed during my time with the WASH [Workshop in Art Studio + History] Foundation Program while at Sam Houston State University in role of Visiting Assistant Professor of Art. These projects are constantly evolving.
Teaching Philosophy
Daydream or Nightmare [guide]
First day, non-graded task that introduces students immediately to risk taking, personal voice, critique process, working with alternate non-art materials. Additionally it builds camaraderie and accelerates the process of team building.
Habits of mind and making [crit guide] plus process crit [guide] for traditional gestalt dot project. Learning to recognize, observe, deconstructing our own assumptions, habits, chunking is critical to successful use of the creative process and outcome. I focus a lot on watching for our problem solving habits, assumptions of the assumed (you know). Chunking is functional but not helpful in the creative fields. It is also a great first crit because they are not evaluating in terms of success, but instead evaluate but apparent habits of compositional solutions--the habits apparent among each set of 30-40 thumbnails to be in the arenas of scale variation, spacing, symmetry/assymmetry, location within the frame, white space/negative space, orientation, etc.
Human Comp Collabs [project sheet; crit guide]
photo collaborative that uses traditional gesalt exercises as a jumping off point
Dot/MapScapes [project sheet; process crit guide; comparative crit guide + essay; alternate crit guide; grade rubric] uses traditional gesalt exercises and sampling from mapping as a jumping off point
Human Hybrids [larger than life] + Sphere Blitz [spheres project sheet; Human Hybrids project sheet strategy 1 + 2; Human Hybrids project ; proposal crit guide; sample crit guide--crit modeled after american idol with 3 professor judges--craft, concept, presentation; additionally students participated in people (student) choice awards in which students selected a winner for each crit category]
StoryLINE [storyLINE story v1; storyLINE story crit; storyLINE story v2; storyLINE independent drawing series; storyLINE ARTifact - refining artifact research 1 & 2; crit guide]
combines creative writing and mark making in space
Identity Essentials [project sheets + crit guide + sample people choice ballet]
photo based assignment sampling from history of feminism
Distorted hierarchy of ritual [project sheet] [crit guide]
Table teams (to be elaborated upon) developed for use to develop and distribute student leadership for project ideation, process critiques, end project critiques, some full on collaborative projects.
