Fleck 106 Panel: Collaborative/Community

Globalization has seemingly brought the world closer togetherand has resulted in a heightened sense of the familiar. This

feeling of familiarity provides a bridge through which Yoo canaccess and magnify her perception of a world derived frompersonal experience. In her work, the fictive nature of a space

that is both idealized and conditioned by our society reflectsskepticism and multiplicity as she obscures the distinctionbetween the past and the present, stereotypes and the real,

and collective and personal memories. By embracing bothpersonal and collaborative presentations, her work exploresthe possibilities of an idealized environment.

Guided by a conceptual framework of reciprocity, BorderlandYouth at Texas State University is working collaboratively with

various communities of youth living in the US/Mexico borderregion to creatively reflect upon the cross-cultural, humanexperiences existent within this significant social geography.

By utilizing participatory art practices we are able to create apublic body of work that functions as a tangible mechanismto activate social awareness and provide access to a more

realistic, complex, and complete story of the US/Mexico borderand its residents. The resulting work is exhibited, published,and ultimately archived at Texas State University.

Session II

Working in Collaboration with the Mexican Association of

the United Nations and Deportes Para Compartir, we aredeveloping a documentary project that will raise awarenessabout 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 theonly means of insuring that children living in very remote

communities can receive three meals a day as well as a finegeneral education. Deportes Para Compartir uses groupsport activities to promote the United Nations millennial goals

that include issues of gender equality and child health.

Arts 114 Panel: Collaboration

Photography has been a tool for social and political change

for many years and it can exude tremendous educational

authority. What better time than now for artists to utilize artas a tool of enlightenment and education on the specific

issue of the border fence and all the challenges it produces.The border fence strikes at the very essence of our cultureand democracy. I ask my class how we can investigate the

relationships of image, community, concept, and the cognitiveprocess. In this political climate how do we produce a didacticprinciple and call authority into question and do it via digital

photography.

The mission of the art education program at the University

of Texas at Austin is to provide excellence in the preparationof art teachers, art museum educators, and community artprogrammers. The aim of the program is to cultivate top-rated

scholarship through institutional and community partnerships

and research-based development of art education theory andpractice. The art education faculty members are committed

to helping students make connections between knowledgeacquired in the classroom, student teaching in the publicschools, and experiential learning in alternative settings in the

community. The introduction of the program at the 2013 TASAconference will entail a detailed description of the degreeoptions in the graduate art education program, which are

school focus, art museum education, and community-basedart education.

Fleck 108 Lecture: Art & CommunityDr. Calabrese will present film noir clips and discourse relatedto the problematic. This means that the films attempt to deal

with a problem without overtly stating it. Ostensibly theseare thriller/suspense films, murder mysteries. Beneath manyplots are issues dealing with the returning vet to a society

that is less than eager to have him, a world in which he doesnot fit. He is oftentimes forced to assume the position of acriminal who has to vindicate himself by overcoming various

insurmountable obstacles. Each film presents variations onthis theme.

Since 1983 the University of Texas at San Antonio has

informally run UTSA Collaborative Editions (UTSace).Professors Dennis Olsen and Kent Rush who head theprintmaking program at UTSA have worked with the

semester long visiting artist/faculty and faculty members to

produce a substantial portfolio of wonderful prints primarilyin lithography, intaglio and relief. Recently Kent Rush, in an

effort to reach out to the community, offered the press toDr. Ricardo Romo as a format for printing editions for localand regional Chicano/a and Mexican American artists. The

two Master Printers are former MFA graduated printmakers,Neal Cox (two years now teaching at SFAU) and currently,Steven Carter. Since 2004 over 20 prints in editions of 30

have been printed and we are working with more artists withan anticipated total of 32 editions.

Arts 116 Workshop: Innovations in Foundations

Limit first 20 participants

There is a long history of potters using colored slips andengobes to decorate the clay surface. Due to their opacity,

sensuous texture, potential for color, and possibilities forapplication at various stages of drying, these types of liquidclays offer artists and potters many decorative options. SEU

art faculty, Stan Irvin and Connie McCreary, will demonstratevarious surface decoration and forming techniques usingprimarily colored clays and slips. They will present options

for both low and high-fire. Workshop attendees are invited

to participate in a hands on experience with slip decorationthat can be employed by beginning students and offer some

interesting options for more advanced exploration.
