Your advisor has your registration planner and must sign your planner before registration. • Registration will be held in the computer labs, rooms 235 & 245. • You MUST have your registration form signed by your advisor prior to registration. • A $35.00 late fee will be assessed to anyone who registers after the official registration days. • All Foundations courses must be completed before registering for Junior Level courses! The number of completed credits determines your class (refer to your registration form for # of completed credits). You may be taking junior level major classes but may only have completed enough credits for sophomore standing (unfinished liberal studies, foundations, or studio electives will affect class standing). Senior – 89.1+ credits Junior – 59.1-89 credits Sophomore – 29.1-59 credits Foundtions – 0-29 credits If you do not register on your designated registration day, bring your signed registration planner to RL45D or E. If you are not available on the day of registration, you may bring your signed registration planner to the Registrar’s Office. Registrations will be entered on the Monday after the assigned registration time. Please provide second options in case classes are closed. The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design reserves the right to cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment or to change scheduled class times and faculty assignments if deemed necessary. If this occurs, registrants will be notified via email by the Registrar’s Office. Due to specific size/equipment limitations in some studio courses, majors will have the priority registration privileges for these classes. A waiting list will be established for other students wishing to take these courses. If you are on the waiting list and space becomes available in the class, you will be notified via email by the Registrar’s Office prior to the start of classes so that you may register for the course. Once a semester begins, the use of the waiting list is terminated. It becomes the responsibility of the student to check with the Registrar’s Office to see if space has become available.

This class will give you the opportunity to think ‘outside the book’ by developing your concepts and building them into both traditional and non-traditional book bindings and media. Through folding and binding workshops, assignments focused on the marriage of form and concept, and lectures on the history and future of book art, you will pursue ideas and gain inspiration to enhance your artistic and design explorations in print and beyond. DS307B DS Elect: Pop-Up: 3D Design for a 2D Material M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Grauert, Christiane Prerequisites: None Comments: Pop-Up: 3D design for a 2D material introduces students to the mechanics behind the unique art form of the pop-up book. Students will explore and experiment with different paper engineering techniques and investigate the interdependency of the pictorial and the mechanical. Students will use image, text, 3-dimensional and movable components to propose and create a pop-up book based on a topic of their choice. Emphasis will be on innovative solutions and professional craft and production skills. DS307C DS Elect: Pattern Design & Licensing TU TH 7:20PM - 10:00PM | 3 credits | TBA Prerequisites: DS202 or DS210 and Junior standing Comments: Pattern Design and Licensing. This course will introduce an understanding of technical processes associated with pattern creation and what pattern can be applied to. Students will learn the fundamentals of creating patterns and apply these fundamentals to their work. We will cover techniques and processes of pattern printing, which constantly evolve to satisfy the growing demands of many businesses. Students will create patterns with specific parameters, including demographics and clientele. Pattern repeats will be created in traditional media, Illustrator & Photoshop. These projects will have the opportunity to show sufficient value and breadth within student’s portfolios. DS307D DS Elect: Kinetic Typography M W 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | TBA Prerequisites: DS202 Comments: Kinetic Typography In this class students will be introduced to strategies of communication design through kinetic elements focusing on form, speed, rhythm, orientation, sound, color, texture, and quality of motion. Students will explore the expressive potential of letterforms in a variety of exercises dealing with dynamic typography and motion graphics. Through analyzing contemporary and historical examples, such as film and TV titles, music videos, commercials, as well as exemplary typography work in print design, students will develop their own potential for expression through dynamic typography. FINE ARTS FA207A RPM: Glass - Expression in Form, Color & Light TU TH 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Grudzinski, Bruce Prerequisites: F100, F110, 6cr F120/121 & F130 Comments: This course will focus on the aesthetic possibilities of glass as an expressive medium. The course will provide the opportunity for students to explore the unique qualities that glass possesses. Focus will be on form, color and the interaction that glass has with light. The students in the creation of their aesthetic will use a variety of processes: Fusing, slumping, paté verre, and kiln-casting. They will consider the effective and appropriate use of the unique expressive characteristics of glass and it’s material relationship with content, method, technique and form. DS307E DS Elect: Fantasy Art for Illustrators TU TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Matson, John Prerequisites: DS210 Comments: FA250A Material & Metaphor: Wood M W 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Pergl, Will Prerequisites: F130 or permission of instructor Comments: Strong storytelling and design principles seen exclusively thru the lens of the fantasy/science fiction genres, and the unique challenges encountered therein, including a focus on believable physiology/anatomy, lighting, and environment. Course coverage will include exposure to the history of the genre, and assignments geared towards current outlets in the entertainment industry. This course focuses on the meaning of materials discovered through thoughtful and skillful approaches to wood sculpture. Students will investigate specific wood working techniques, methods, philosophical concerns, and ways of seeing/working that give personal expression to material form. Intermediate woodworking techniques such as joining, bending, shaping and finishing are introduced in conjunction with subtractive methods of woodcarving and woodturning. Woodworking has a rich history and a strong presence in contemporary art and culture. Lectures, field trips, readings and critiques will develop the students’ awareness of historical precedents and examples of the use of wood in contemporary art. DS307F DS Elect: PowerSports TU TH 7:20PM - 10:00PM | 3 credits | Ellice, Joe Prerequisites: JR standing, ID major or instructor permission Comments: Power sports explores the special realm of vehicle design (motorcycles, personal water craft, atv’s, cars, etc.) Each semester a particular niche vehicle is chosen as the subject matter as the students learn about the subtle nuances of combining both function and style as applied to vehicle design. The course covers three phases in one semester: ideation sketching, tape drawings and finally a three dimensional model of their design. FA253A Alternative Media: Object & Environment M W 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Belknap, Emily Prerequisites: F130, Sophomore standing or permission of instructor Comments: The student will explore assemblage, installation, light, multi-media, time and new genre as embraced in contemporary sculptural language. The potential in discrete object making as well as the effect of place and context, material and immaterial aspects will give a clear foundation for working expressively in 3-4 dimensions. Specific problems are preceded by readings, demonstrations of materials/processes, perceptual workshops, and experimental exercises. Acquisition of technical skills will be driven by the student’s personal vision and guidance from the instructor. Conceptual understanding will emerge from the production of the student’s own work, in conjunction with the application of a range of critical models. SPRING 2015 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS FA254A Material Aesthetic: Translations in Casting & Foundry TU TH 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Sebastian, Jill Prerequisites: FA251 or FA252 or FA256 Comments: FA307B FA Elect: The F Word & Queer Theory M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Miller, Kimberly Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 Comments: FA307D FA Elect: Intangible Presence: 21st Century Art TU TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Druecke, Paul Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing Comments: In this studio art course students will examine the dynamics between singularity and multiplicity as it relates to sculptural expression. In-depth processes of mold making and casting artworks will introduce meaningful uses of reproduction as we translate from one material to another such as from wax to bronze. This course includes: practicing methods of moldmaking (draft and parting lines, separable part ridged molds, shelled/pourable molds, unshelled/brushable molds), understanding appropriate application of molding materials (alginate, plaster, silicone and polyurethane rubbers), model-making (hand-building, shaping, casting, constructing) and understanding casting materials (wax, plastic, candy, porcelain, bronze, aluminum, fiberglass). Appropriate finishing treatments will be used. Foundry practices will be folded into the larger concern for the aura of individual objects and cultural distribution through industrial reproduction. Historical and contemporary subjects such as the significance of object/material relationship, the ideal of the one-of-a-kind, and the complex relationship between the authentic, the surrogate, and the copy will be explored. Intermediate and advanced students pursue more complex challenges with their mold making/casting practices, refining technical skills and aesthetic expressivity. Performance at appropriate levels will be assessed through rubrics. What does feminism and/or queer theory mean? Are these interests different, or do they overlap? When does a body become a political subject? This class examines the F word - feminism - from Beyoncé to bell hooks. Failures, problems, and stigmas associated with feminism are discussed. Queer theory embraces the ‘non-normative’ – this goes beyond sexuality to a way of interacting with the world, and the way the world interacts with a subject. We look at queer theory in action across culture and history, from a range of critical positions. The course involves research and producing studio work. Students are asked to bring their own interests and studio practice to the course. Students investigate idea-driven practice through a series of projects that emphasize the relationship between traditional mediums and immaterial strategies. In this studio class, students build upon their current interests by exploring contemporary practices such as Social Practice, Institutional Critique, and Relational Aesthetics. These topical strategies focus on the artistic exchange of ideas and experience. They use poetic, dialogical, research-based, and ephemeral means to intervene in 21st Century culture. The class fosters critical examination of both alternative and traditional materials/methodology. It challenges students to develop rigor and methodical process in structuring and executing their work. Students explore the intention, craft, criticality, expertise, and personal investment that sustains conceptually rich art projects. Comprehensive consideration of the above enables students to better understand potential audience for their work as well as the work's relation to current art discourse. The class will strengthen student’s personal goals and encourage critical thinking that increases artistic confidence. Studio time is supplemented by readings, lectures, guest speakers, and ongoing discussion of contemporary art practices. Students of the Intangible Presence course can also look forward to extracurricular projects taking place in Milwaukee and beyond. Whenever possible Druecke connects students to opportunities taking place beyond class structure. Participation is not mandatory but helps build resumes and offers valuable experience. FA307A FA Elect: Video Explorations TU TH 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Caster, Paul Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing Comments: This is an elective that explores the idea of video as a purely visual pursuit. Most projects will be determined by both the instructor and the student. The class will be shaped somewhat like an independent study and is aimed primarily at students who investigate video as a part of their visual concerns rather than a primary involvement. The basics of Final Cut will be taught along with the basics of a sound program and After Effects. This would not be a course for people who would be interested in a deep investigation of time based media programs. The main goal of this elective is to focus on the visual aspect of video. The course will be a free wheeling and unpredictable experience as well as a course than can assist in finding a missing piece for a possible multi-layered investigation. This is a video course that addresses both idea and concept as a purely visual pursuit. FA307C FA Elect: Figuration at the Intersection of Painting & Printmaking TU TH 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Mulhern, Mark Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing or instructor’s permission Comments: Figuration at the Intersection of Painting and Printmaking is a printmaking process that incorporates drawing and painting techniques in a fluid improvisational exchange of action/reaction. Marks are made on a smooth surface such as Plexiglas, using printing inks or oil paint. Monotype combines both additive and subtractive methods of mark making, allowing both flexibility and change. The marks transferred onto the paper from the printing process are clear, sensitive and fresh, but the monotype also invites the reworking of images using direct media over the print. This reworking can be done with pastel, oil crayons or paints, which can lead to more developed images. This course centers around the investigation of the figure through the exploration of the monotype. The figure will be studied from observation as well as from the imagination and photographs. The primary emphasis of the course will be the construction of expressive figures, using the figure to articulate the picture plane, and to create dynamic composition. FA307E FA Elect: Art in Design M W 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | TBA Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing Comments: This course is open to both Design and Fine Art majors, and will present cross-over discourse and challenging projects based on communication design principles and critical art theory. We will delve into how images relate ideology with respect to their intent and purpose. Design majors desiring to expand the conversation around their practice and Fine Art majors interested in gaining experience with the language of 2D design and visual culture in all media are encouraged to apply. Although the fields of Fine Art and Design are specialized studies, they interrelate and are in dialogue on the continuum of visual culture. 2D Design principles guide our ability to understand visual information, from brand transmission to experimental typography. All students can benefit from scrutinizing the visual information that surrounds them every day: Our perceptions are also led by our cultural contexts, whose agendas manifest in Fine Art in ways that are often enigmatic and "extra-visual." The conceptual space where these modes of comprehension overlap catalyzes cultural identity. SPRING 2015 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS FA307F FA Elect: The Ubiquitous Eye M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Smith, Robert Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing or instructor’s permission Comments: Recommended equipment: cell phone camera, ideally an iPhone camera but not a requirement. Artists have often done remarkable work with commonly available materials. Smart phones are certainly common and they are clearly being used to make billions of photos a day. But can we create meaningful art with cellphones or tablets? Embedded in in this question is another question: how important is the equipment we use? Does it limit what we can create? If so, can we work meaningfully within those limitations? How does the ubiquity of cell phone imagery influence art making possibilities? You will begin with a survey of: social media, mainstream media, fine art applications and advertising. From there, you will explore the artistic possibilities of cellphone photography (and videography). There are no prescribed answers only questions. FA353A Topic in Figure: The Body TU TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Sebastian, Jill Prerequisites: 3cr of figure studies completed or sculpture or TBM & Junior standing or permission of instructor Comments: FA359A Topics in the Expanded Field: Crossroads Between Sculpture & Photography M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Pergl / Bogart Prerequisites: FA253, FA256 or ISA240 and junior standing Comments: Aspects of human experience such as psychology and neurology, health and disease, gender and identity are the subjects of exploration in this figure-based, mixed media studio course. Students will be working in the medium of their choice in 3-dimensional or virtual space. We will consider how the video/film works by sculptors Mendietta, Hatoum, Jonas among others and investigate psychological and spatial conundrums that circle sculptural concerns of body, self, object, material, context, place, dislocation and interactivity. The films and readings will serve as texts to open expressive possibilities. Students will focus on self-directed work such as an investigative series or a life size full figure with attendant studies or a mixed media installation. Student proposals and exhibitions will provide a basis for debate and reference for critiques. Performance at appropriate levels will be assessed through rubrics. This course examines the historical, aesthetic, and theoretical intersections between photography and sculpture. Students in this course will produce hybrid projects recognizing the variety of strategies contemporary artists employ working with photography and sculpture simultaneously. We will consider art historical figures such as Joseph Beuys, Jeff Wall and Cindy Sherman as well as contemporary practitioners such as Gillian Wearing, Tony Oursler and Amanda Ross Ho. Although this is a studio class, students will encounter a number of critical texts. We will use theoretical frameworks built by John Berger, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin etc. Through reading, discussion, lecture, and critique, students will become aware of the role theory and history can play in the art making process. FA307G FA: Elect: Drawing Strategies M W 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Henke, Brooklyn Prerequisites: F113/115 and sophomore standing Comments: Working in the simplicity of black and white, students will explore the complexities of several drawing strategies in various media. Students will discover various ways to empower ideas and images through allegory in the alter-ego, deconstruction, perspective and space, systems, and memory. Students will work with methods of constructing images from elements of force with references to architecture and fragments, like the works of Julie Hehretu. Artists such as Lee Bontecou will launch our studies of imagined organisms and intermedia investigations. We will also look at works like those of Giacometti to explore the interplay of narrative and connections through space. The course will be a rigorous exploration in the studio and out-including gallery and museum visits, exploration of contemporary artists, supplemental texts, artist talks, writings, and critical thinking discussion. Students concentrating in integrated studio arts, print, sculpture, painting, and design concentrations will find valuable ways to explore and depict the visceral, formal, suggestive, and ephemeral in the drawing media. For examples of the range of work we will be studying in form, concept, and process, please take a look at the course Pinterest board: http://www. pinterest.com/bhenke/drawing-strategies/ FA354A Material Aesthetic: Translations in Casting & Casting TU TH 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Sebastian, Jill Prerequisites: 9cr completed in Sculpture Comments: In this studio art course students will examine the dynamics between singularity and multiplicity as it relates to sculptural expression.

Appropriate finishing treatments will be used. Foundry practices will be folded into the larger concern for the aura of individual objects and cultural distribution through industrial reproduction. Historical and contemporary subjects such as the significance of object/material relationship, the ideal of the one-of-a-kind, and the complex relationship between the authentic, the surrogate, and the copy will be explored. Intermediate and advanced students pursue more complex challenges with their mold making/casting practices, refining technical skills and aesthetic expressivity. Performance at appropriate levels will be assessed through rubrics. FA453A Topic in Figure: The Body TU TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Sebastian, Jill Prerequisites: SR & 6cr of figure studies completed or permission of instructor Comments: Aspects of human experience such as psychology and neurology, health and disease, gender and identity are the subjects of exploration in this figure-based, mixed media studio course. Students will be working in the medium of their choice in 3-dimensional or virtual space. We will consider how the video/film works by sculptors Mendietta, Hatoum, Jonas among others and investigate psychological and spatial conundrums that circle sculptural concerns of body, self, object, material, context, place, dislocation and interactivity. The films and readings will serve as texts to open expressive possibilities. Students will focus on self-directed work such as an investigative series or a life size full figure with attendant studies or a mixed media installation. Student proposals and exhibitions will provide a basis for debate and reference for critiques. Performance at appropriate levels will be assessed through rubrics.

In-depth processes of mold making and casting artworks will introduce meaningful uses of reproduction as we translate from one material to another such as from wax to bronze. This course includes: practicing methods of moldmaking (draft and parting lines, separable part ridged molds, shelled/pourable molds, unshelled/brushable molds), understanding appropriate application of molding materials (alginate, plaster, silicone and polyurethane rubbers), model-making (hand-building, shaping, casting, constructing) and understanding casting materials (wax, plastic, candy, porcelain, bronze, aluminum, fiberglass). Appropriate finishing treatments will be used. Foundry practices will be folded into the larger concern for the aura of individual objects and cultural distribution through industrial reproduction. Historical and contemporary subjects such as the significance of object/material relationship, the ideal of the one-of-a-kind, and the complex relationship between the authentic, the surrogate, and the copy will be explored. Students investigate idea-driven practice through a series of projects that emphasize the relationship between traditional mediums and immaterial strategies. In this studio class, students build upon their current interests by exploring contemporary practices such as Social Practice, Institutional Critique, and Relational Aesthetics. These topical strategies focus on the artistic exchange of ideas and experience. They use poetic, dialogical, research-based, and ephemeral means to intervene in 21st Century culture. The class fosters critical examination of both alternative and traditional materials/methodology. It challenges students to develop rigor and methodical process in structuring and executing their work. Students explore the intention, craft, criticality, expertise, and personal investment that sustains conceptually rich art projects. Comprehensive consideration of the above enables students to better understand potential audience for their work as well as the work's relation to current art discourse. The class will strengthen student’s personal goals and encourage critical thinking that increases artistic confidence. Studio time is supplemented by readings, lectures, guest speakers, and ongoing discussion of contemporary art practices. Students of the Intangible Presence course can also look forward to extracurricular projects taking place in Milwaukee and beyond. Whenever possible Druecke connects students to opportunities taking place beyond class structure. Participation is not mandatory but helps build resumes and offers valuable experience. Intermediate and advanced students pursue more complex challenges with their mold making/casting practices, refining technical skills and aesthetic expressivity. Performance at appropriate levels will be assessed through rubrics.

Students in this course will produce hybrid projects recognizing the variety of strategies contemporary artists employ working with photography and sculpture simultaneously. We will consider art historical figures such as Joseph Beuys, Jeff Wall and Cindy Sherman as well as contemporary practitioners such as Gillian Wearing, Tony Oursler and Amanda Ross Ho. Although this is a studio class, students will encounter a number of critical texts. We will use theoretical frameworks built by John Berger, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin etc. Through reading, discussion, lecture, and critique, students will become aware of the role theory and history can play in the art making process ISA307B ISA Elect: The F Word & Queer Theory M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Miller, Kimberly Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 Comments: What does feminism and/or queer theory mean? Are these interests different, or do they overlap? When does a body become a political subject? This class examines the F word - feminism - from Beyoncé to bell hooks. Failures, problems, and stigmas associated with feminism are discussed. Queer theory embraces the ‘non-normative’ – this goes beyond sexuality to a way of interacting with the world, and the way the world interacts with a subject. We look at queer theory in action across culture and history, from a range of critical positions. The course involves research and producing studio work. Students are asked to bring their own interests and studio practice to the course. FOUNDATIONS F121A RPM: Visual Metaphor, Wit & Wordplay M W 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Feldhausen, Jan Prerequisites: None Comments: Through research and project development, students explore the expressive potential that metaphor, language, wordplay, and humor have as a means of communicating ideas. The work will be primarily 2D or relief. Working in Photoshop and experimenting with other media will be part of the problem-solving process. In most instances the students will determine media selection as their concepts develop. Emphasis will be placed on the conceptual process of creating visual narrative and embedding language content within the image or to support the message. The wide-ranging problems assigned may include visual metaphor, crosslanguage exploration, homonyms, graphic puns, homages, and satirical representations. The student should have at least a working knowledge of Photoshop, an eye for irony, and a good sense of humor. F121B RPM: Visual Voice Through Water-Based Media M W 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Horvath, Steve Prerequisites: None Comments: Students will be encouraged to develop their imagery so that they may reveal their personal and expressive personality within the framework of the mediums explored. The purpose of the course is to give the student a working knowledge of the use of water based media with primary emphasis on watercolor, but also including gouache and acrylic. Additionally, the course will cover the history of watercolor including the use of various pigments and their history, the use of brush and pen, paper differences, and techniques that can be used to create your work. Examples of artists who use or have used water-based mediums will be presented and discussed, such as Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keefe, Larry Rivers, Mardsen Hartley, and Robert Rauschenberg, and illustrators such as Matt Zumbo, Falon, Alan Colber, and Milton Glaser. F121C RPM: Collage & the Contemporary Condition M W 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Buie, Tyanna Prerequisites: None Comments: Students will explore and create works that amplify a particular insight about the world in which we live through themes such as, Consumption, Globalization and Internationalism, while researching imagery, as well as the many artists who demonstrate collage and social realistic themes through their work that together mirror a perspective on the "contemporary condition.” Using Screen-printing as a primary method with an emphasis in both research and traditional/non-traditional screenprinting techniques such as; monotypes, mono-printing, collage, mixedmedia, and the use of photo-based computer imaging.

Students will explore and experiment with different paper engineering techniques and investigate the interdependency of the pictorial and the mechanical. Students will use image, text, 3-dimensional and movable components to propose and create a pop-up book based on a topic of their choice. Emphasis will be on innovative solutions and professional craft and production skills. This studio course will explore alternatives to traditional notions of beauty. Students will look at contemporary visual pieces from artists showcased on sites such as Beautiful/Decay and Empty Kingdom. Projects will frequently require students to use techniques and media that may seem incompatible but can actually work very well together. As inspiration for a portrait assignment students will read the title piece from the 2013 debut collection of short stories by Elizabeth Frankie Rollins, The Sin Eater & Other Stories. Original 18th and 19th century tales of sin eating came from the British Isles and described sin eaters as outcasts who became disfigured as they consumed the sins of others. Students will also look at some grotesque yet beautiful portraits by artists such as Storm Tharp and Rachel Niffenegger prior to doing this project. Bernard Dumaine’s collaborative drawings are updated variations of the exquisite corpse works invented by the Surrealists. Dumaine’s work will be looked at as stimulus for a similar collaborative assignment. Each of the student collaborations will combine images described in written works such as Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, and Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. Unsettling images of deteriorated abandoned places such as asylums, burnt out buildings, and old car graveyards will also be included in this assignment. Judith Schaechter’s contemporary stained glass work will serve as inspiration for yet another project. Specifically we will look at Schaechter’s recent 17-piece installation entitled The Battle of Carnival and Lent. This work was inspired by and exhibited in what was once a penitentiary. Bruegel’s 1559 painting using the same title will be another visual resource for this project. Students in this studio course will produce work based on themes similar to those explored by various contemporary Fabulists. In April of 2011 Modern Fabulists opened at View Art Gallery in Bristol, UK. The work on display was a celebration of the enduring relevance of storytelling. Some of the artists represented were Dan Baldwin, Dee Dee Cheriel, Karen Akester, David Stein, Kirsty Whiten, Lauren Bergman, and Pepa Prieto. Gallery owner Nick Waugh said, “The artists featured in the show are all creating new pieces around the theme of modern fabulists - composers of fables, tellers of tales, liars…artists”. Another exhibit entitled Fabulism was held in 2004 at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The artists participating in this show displayed work exploring myth, allegory and fable as a means of understanding human nature. Work by Matthew Ritchie, Chris Ofili and Ellen Gallagher were included in this exhibit. In addition we will look at some short written pieces such as selections from The Thurber Carnival and Fables for Our Time, both written and illustrated by James Thurber. Several recent short videos, some based on Thurber’s work will also be viewed. Additionally we will look at some images from the ongoing Fables comic series. These fables, written for adults by Bill Willingham, began in 2002 and have been illustrated by many different artists over the years. These stories tell of the adventures of characters such as Snow White, Jack the beanstalk climber, Prince Charming, Three Blind Mice, and many other storybook figures that are now living together in exile in a section of New York City called Fabletown. F121E RPM: Picturing People: Diverse Approaches to Painting the Human Form TU TH 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Noffsinger, Tom Prerequisites: None Comments: This course will emphasize a non-observational approach to the figure. Through a variety of media approaches including painting, students will explore the use of photographic, digital, and collaged reference in their work as well as working from imagination and memory. The figure will serve as a vehicle for social/political commentary, narrative, expression of the human condition, and observations of modern life. This course will be student proposal based and will require the exploration of different approaches while encouraging the development of their own “voice” in their work. Working with live models to create reference, research of contemporary figure painters, and critiques will augment studio instruction. F121G RPM: Glass - Expression in Form, Color & Light TU TH 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Grudzinski, Bruce Prerequisites: None Comments: This course will focus on the aesthetic possibilities of glass as an expressive medium. The course will provide the opportunity for students to explore the unique qualities that glass possesses. Focus will be on form, color and the interaction that glass has with light. The students in the creation of their aesthetic will use a variety of processes: Fusing, slumping, paté verre, and kiln-casting. They will consider the effective and appropriate use of the unique expressive characteristics of glass and it’s material relationship with content, method, technique and form. F121I RPM: The Intersection of 2D & 3D: Materials & Meaning F 8:00AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Noffsinger, Tom Prerequisites: None Comments: This course engages students in an investigation of the expressive qualities of materials at the intersection of 2D and 3D applications.

Attention is paid to the sharpening of technique and conceptual skills. Media to be explored are ink, watercolor, pastel, acrylic paint, digital media, in addition to other selected media and various media substrates such as paper, canvas and board. Each new step in technology requires that fundamental technological capabilities exist beforehand. High speed computer processors, high resolution image sensors and small, fast, high capacity removable memory systems have led to a convergence of technologies that see the photographer and videographer using the same equipment to capture moments and communicate ideas. IAS: Integrated Imaging is an introductory-level course that explores the technical, historic, aesthetic and conceptual overlap between photography and video, equipping the student to enter the digital imaging revolution with core computer, fine art, design and critical thinking skills focused on the production of still and moving images. More and more, photographers and videographers are expected to become fluid in both disciplines. Starting with a review of major artists and designers who ‘cross-the-line’ between photography and video, students will be introduced to some major themes and questions shared by both mediums, and to theoretical frameworks for approaching, analyzing and critiquing work in photography, film and video art. Students will be introduced to digital asset acquisition, management, workflow and editing techniques and will then be challenged to communicate the same messages and visual ideas through works in both still and the moving images.., clarifying, intensifying, and interpreting subject matter and events through the common device of the viewfinder. Students will be encouraged to use their own personal imaging devices in some projects and will have access to a basic level of digital still and video cameras, through the TBM area’s equipment cage, for others. A laptop and external back-up hard drive are required. Access to advanced software will be provided through TBM imaged lab computers.

AH318C AH Elect: How Minimal Art Destroyed the Modernist Aesthetic and Totally Changed Everything! W 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Bohannon, Elaine Prerequisites: 200-level Art History & WR200 Comments: To the casual observer of Art History, the first Minimalist forms exhibited in the 1960s seemed in many ways similar to Modernist works, but, upon closer scrutiny, we discover that several artists positioned themselves not only in blatant defiance of the Modernist aesthetic, but also as the founders of an unofficial movement that totally revolutionized the terms and conditions of contemporary art. Minimalism is a well-documented movement, and we will consider the theoretical positions put forth by both its advocates and its detractors. We will also look at a range of artworks that follow in its wake, including works that focus on site specificity, earth works, conceptual art, and a range of new photographic practices. Course content will include an extensive reading list that reflects the theoretical positions of artists and critics who were integral to the discourse as Minimalism emerged, as well as the changes that it inspired in the decades that followed. Class will follow a seminar format, with weekly reading assignments, discussion groups, and viewing of artworks. Students will be asked to write critiques of selected readings, as well as a research paper that will include an in-class presentation. There will be two exams, both open-book with essay questions. AH318D AH Elect: Visual Language: Artists' Writings in Historical and Contemporary Art TH 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Murrell, Katherine Prerequisites: 200-level Art History & WR200 Comments: We may be familiar with the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, but what about his fascinating notebooks? Van Gogh's paintings are known worldwide, but what additional insights are offered in his personal letters? What can Rosa Bonheur tell us about being a renowned female painter in the 19th centurey? How do contemporary artists use the possibilities of public language offered through street art, the digital environment, and social media as a forum for visual exploration and debate? The way we speak can affect the way we see. This course explores various types of writings by artists from the Renaissance through the 21st century, both through private journals and public art, as a means of investigating perceptions of art, social issues, and what it means to be a creator of words and images. AH318E AH Elect: What’s Up? TH 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Anderson, Mark Prerequisites: 200-level Art History & WR200 Comments: What’s Up? is an upper level Art History elective focused on select issues and trends in contemporary art and current exhibitions. “What’s Up?” will look at both what’s on display, and what’s on the minds of contemporary artists. There will be two distinct components of this course, one being reading/lecture material on contemporary art and artists; the other, attending current gallery and museum exhibitions. The course will balance research and discussion with measured application, in the form of critical writing and curatorial assignments. While the course is centered on art practices, it is available to students in both art and design, and indeed the course will benefit from such crossfertilization.

Failures, problems, and stigmas associated with feminism are discussed. Queer theory embraces the ‘non-normative’ – this goes beyond sexuality to a way of interacting with the world, and the way the world interacts with a subject. We look at queer theory in action across culture and history, from a range of critical positions. The course involves research and producing studio work. Students are asked to bring their own interests and studio practice to the course. HU340B Topic in Humanities: The Critical Vocabulary of Rap TU 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Lindsay, Andrew Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 Comments: Rap, and arguably hip-hop in general, may be the most poorly critically evaluated human endeavor of all time. We are going to listen to a tremendous amount of rap music and collaboratively identify a critical vocabulary of hip-hop (a more refined one, I should say). We will separate our analysis into general categories of form (hardly evaluated at all) and content (poorly evaluated, at times offensively evaluated,) and try to collaboratively create a classification system. Fundamentally, we are going to practice how to argue. A good argument, almost by definition, is subjective. When we argue, most often we are dealing with matters that are not easily “provable.” Personal taste in music is an extraordinarily subjective position, and often involves preferences and inclinations that we are not fully aware of ourselves. Uncovering our own assumptions and inclinations, and learning how to argue for something “unprovable” is the fundamental goal of rhetoric; in doing so we aim to strengthen our writing skills across all subject matter. HU340C Topic in Humanities: Literature & Mysticism M 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Ripley, Debra Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 Comments: This course engages very diverse texts in an attempt to investigate the qualities that are common to texts widely considered to be of the mystical tradition and subsequently generate questions about various authors’ attempts to portray their visions of the mystical in writing. We will, necessarily, investigate not only the literary but the philosophical, historical, and religious contexts for notions of Truth, Skepticism, and Belief; as well as the Mystical, the Pseudo-Mystical, and the QuasiMystical. HU340D Topic in Humanities: Creativity, Change, & Chance: Poetry in Practice TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Harway, Judith Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 Comments: All too often students are introduced to poetry with a straight spine and an unsmiling countenance. This course is designed to unlock creativity by tapping into a grand tradition of playfulness in poetry, while still considering the serious purposes that playful language may support. Readings from contemporary poets and writing assignments will invite exploration and experimentation with form, content, and creative commitment. Writing exercises will invite students to explore the elements of prosody; examine the relationship of poetry to contemporary social and environmental issues; develop creative thinking skills by challenging students to respond to aleatoric stimuli; and enact critical engagement with literature. This will be an experiential course, in which students will learn to read as writers, and to directly apply their reading to the resolution of formal and thematic challenges faced by poets. SPRING 2015 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS HU340E Topic in Humanities: Evolution M 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 3 credits | Murru, Maurizio Prerequisites: HU121 & WR200 & SC220 Comments: HU380B SS: Poverty in America Today TU 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 4 credits | Caldwell, Mark Prerequisites: JR, HU121 & WR200 Comments: SC220B Intro to Biology TU 10:50AM - 1:30PM Prerequisites: none Comments: This course concentrates on the scientific principles of evolutionary biology and on the historical and sociological implications of the theory of evolution. The course is not based upon laboratory activities, but it engages students in a dynamic and fruitful learning environment where active discussion, critical thinking and independent inquiry are predominant. The course runs as a seminar, and the students become active participants in discussions, presentations, and lecturing. Direct inquiry on different aspects of evolution will lead to sharing diverse opinions, learning about actual facts and becoming aware of cultural and societal perspectives, and scientific evidence on evolution. A key characteristic of this seminar is that students will be exposed to different viewpoints, cultural, societal and scientific, independently from how they choose to fulfill their credit requirements. HU380 is a 4-credit interdisciplinary course with a service-learning component. This section of the course engages the issue of poverty in our country. Who are the poor people in society today? The “near-poor”? How is this related to issues of social, cultural and economic poverty? This issue has become central in American society today as the number of citizens falling into poverty is growing. This course will explore the structural causes that have led to this increase in poor people in the United States, and solutions that have been proposed by local and federal governments to remedy these issues. The stigma of poverty will also be discussed in relation to American ideals about prosperity, work ethic and individual rights. Students will use critical thinking skills to explain how these American ideals influence social policies created around helping poor and impoverished people. The Introduction to NS is based upon first hand investigations and discoveries in the field on Natural Sciences. In this course students will deepen the nature of the scientific method, its theoretical challenges and pursue a series of empirical applications in the lab and in the field. This practical knowledge will be broadened through intensive reading, discussions, critiques and oral assignments in general. This is an intensive, practical approach that uses the scientific method as a tool for investigation, problem solving and critical thinking. Challenging and demanding, but rewarding. Excellence in analytical and critical thinking skills are of uttermost importance.

HU380A SS: Building Community M 8:00AM - 10:40AM | 4 credits | Kirchner, Julia Prerequisites: JR, HU121 & WR200 Comments: In this section of HU380 we will be examining how communities are constructed in different ways. Like urban anthropologists, we will consider the three perspectives of physical structure, systems of social organization, and collections of attitudes and ideas. Our primary focus will be on how different spatial and cultural locations could be positively constructed as “diversity” or negatively constructed as inequality. Through our service learning component each student will use participant observation to research and discover how one non-profit agency tries to reinforce the idea of active community building. In this section of HS380 students will perform community service and will also study the topic of children’s well-being in depth. The course will offer weekly opportunities for students to draw connections between their service work and the needs of children even in cases where the service does not directly relate to work with children. Students will engage in intensive reading of fiction and nonfiction related to children’s and adolescents’ needs, including an exploration of children’s literature designed to guide children through trauma. They will also engage in writing, research and oral assignments related to children’s needs and will discuss current issues in the news related to this topic. The course will culminate with individual presentations in which students discuss and reflect upon their service work and its connections to the needs of children and adolescents in the community.

If so, this course will introduce the diverse array of animals that you may never have seen before and at present cannot even imagine! This course will survey the animal kingdom covering principles of biodiversity and includes the origin, evolution, and ecology of major animal groups from the protozoa to charismatic megafauna. You will learn and compare amongst the major groups of critters their characteristics, sensory organs, body systems, locomotion, feeding strategies and digestion, reproduction, ecological notes, and human interactions.

WR400A Senior Writing Seminar: Writing from Life: Explorations in Creative Nonfiction M 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | McLaughlin, Barbara Prerequisites: SR & WR300 Comments: This version of the Senior Writing Seminar is an intensive capstone writing course in which students will explore forms of “life writing” including: autobiography, memoir and other forms of creative nonfiction. Writing in this form challenges authors to explore relationships between the past and present experiences, the self and others, truth and fiction, history and memory, cultural identity, and the public and the private. Through reading, self-directed research and ongoing writing, students will explore and practice the different forms that the genre of “life writing” may take. Within the context of growing popularity of autobiographical writing and memoir, students will explore possible social, political and rhetorical purposes for writing from life and will compose a final, capstone life writing project. WR400B Senior Writing Seminar: Critical Writing in Art & Design TU 1:40PM - 4:20PM | 3 credits | Brehmer / Maloney Prerequisites: SR & WR300 Comments: This section of Senior Writing Seminar will explore the role of art and design writing in contemporary culture. We will investigate a variety of traditional and experimental approaches to critical writing, crossing boundaries between art, design, architecture, and social phenomena. We will spend time getting out of the classroom, privileging the act of seeing and describing what we see, and using that as the basis for expression about our environment and what matters to us. You will develop the skills to do this effectively—tools that can be applied perpetually in your postMIAD career. For the capstone project, you will create your own critical writing platform, focused on an issue, theme, or approach of your choice. Where does art and design writing stand today? How does it fit in the worlds of creative endeavor? What makes good critical writing good? What new forms might it take via audio, video or performance? Has it lost its power or is it more necessary than ever? What do you have to say about the creative phenomena in the world around you—and by extension, about the world itself? WR400C Senior Writing Seminar: Making Meaning Through Narrative TH 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Harway, Judith Prerequisites: SR & WR300 Comments: The twin impulses to make meaning and to shape stories are fundamental to much human endeavor, including the work of artists and designers. Through a variety of reading and writing experiences this course will explore narrative as a means to understand the breadth of human experience and creativity. As a spine, we'll examine the genre of creative non-fiction, building outwards to experiment with multiple forms and purposes of narrative. The final capstone project will be a sustained, substantial, and thoughtful work of narrative, or a blend of narrative, expository, and /or critical writing. SPRING 2015 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS TIME-BASED TB307A TBM Elective: Kinetic Typography M W 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | Whitty, Travis Prerequisites: DS202 Comments: In this class students will be introduced to strategies of communication design through kinetic elements focusing on form, speed, rhythm, orientation, sound, color, texture, and quality of motion. Students will explore the expressive potential of letterforms in a variety of exercises dealing with dynamic typography and motion graphics. Through analyzing contemporary and historical examples, such as film and TV titles, music videos, commercials, as well as exemplary typography work in print design, students will develop their own potential for expression through dynamic typography. TB307B TBM Elective: Our Historical Record: Documentary Filmmaking Practices TU TH 4:30PM - 7:10PM | 3 credits | TBA Prerequisites: TB202 and prefer TB204 and/or Photo/Video Intersection or instructor permission Comments: PRE-REQUISITES: Required: Video 1. Suggested: Intro to Sound and/or Photo/Video Intersection or instructor permission. "Our Historical Record" is a studio-based, team-focused video & sound elective that will examine the diverse facets of documentary filmmaking & videography, ranging from the macabre to the outright humorous. Example projects include a single-shot documentary, community-minded featurette, and collaborative music video. Students can expect to dedicate the first third of the semester working on projects independently and in small groups, and then come together as a production team for the remainder of the course. We will also supplement our studio work with the occasional screening and short audio/video exercise. This is your opportunity to redefine what the word "documentary" means to you, and to learn how to navigate your personal practices within the construct of a larger group. TB309A Figure Drawing for Animation TU TH 10:50AM - 1:30PM | 3 credits | Barany / Noffsinger Prerequisites: TB200 Comments: Figure Drawing for Animation will focus on the anatomical, structural, and kinematic qualities of the human body in an animated form. Daily practice will reinforce the need for gestural accuracy and applied kinetics, while deepening the participants empathy and emotional understanding of human movement. A wide variety of work will be produced, including figurative studies, character design, storyboards, animatics, key animations, pixelation and experimental kinematic investigations. Drawing and animated work will vary between traditional and digital means, as participants create a digital eportfolio and demo reel upon completion of the course.

Advertising, Business, and Copywriting Minor The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design offers three minors through our cross registration program with Marquette University. This collaboration has the ability to both enrich and expand a student’s time here at MIAD. To complete a minor in Advertising, Business, or Copywriting, a student must complete 15 credit hours in that minor. 6 credits may double count towards Humanities Elective Requirements (HU340). To begin one of these minors, the minimum requirement of WR200 must be completed. You can find the descriptions of the minor offerings below: Advertising Minor is primarily targeted (but not limited) to students in the Communication Design program to augment their degree. The main focus is on advertising and best serves students whose goal is to work in an advertising agency. Business Minor provides a unique opportunity to explore a variety of business theory and practice areas. This minor is equally useful to designers or fine artists who intend to begin their own business or work in an established organization. Copywriting Minor blends a rigorous study of brand strategy with creative practice. Students learn to write across all media and create a portfolio showcasing their copywriting talents. This is a great minor for CD students who wish to strengthen their portfolios. It is also an excellent choice for students who want to hone their creative writing skills inspired by brands.

SUMMER 2015 MIAD-LED STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS IRELAND’S BURREN: Voices of the Land 6 credits, Summer Term 2015 (3 Studio Elective credits and 3 Humanities Elective credits OR 3 Writing Elective credits) Instructors: Judith Harway and Bruce Grudzinski The Burren of Ireland is one of the largest limestone karst landscapes in Europe. Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Galway Bay, this wild and unforgiving topography is characterized by subterranean caverns, rugged hills, and dramatic seascapes. This course will utilize both the human and natural environment of the Burren as classroom, studio, resource and subject, inviting students to explore the relationships between identity, collective memory, creative expression, and a sense of place. Students will examine the connections between landscape and the Irish literary forms of poetry, storytelling and balladry. The studio component of the course will guide students to consider how place and history shape an artist’s creative work, culminating in an individual project that incorporates mew experiences with Irish landscapes and culture into the conceptual and physical creation of student work. The Burren College of Art, which will serve as the base for 4 weeks of on-‐site study, is an the site of a 16th century Norman castle. FLORENCE, ITALY: Through the Eyes of Its Masters 6 credits, Summer Term 2015 (3 Studio Elective credits and 3 Humanities Elective credits OR 3 Art History Elective credits) Instructors: Phil Belair and Michael Aschenbrenner Florence has long been considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the place where master artists like Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Masaccio, made some of their most valued contributions. This course will focus on the role of the artist in the promotion and advancement of the important cultural, religious and political ideas that developed in Florence during the Renaissance. Students will gain greater understanding of the relationships between the church, guilds, political powers and other influencers during this time and learn how artists used art and architecture to advance messages of faith, propaganda, ambition and new cultural ideas to its citizens. The writings of Dante, Machiavelli, Vasari and Cellini will add to this understanding. Students will also compare and contrast past and present Florence, and consider the different ways contemporary art and design exert messages within a city so uniquely steeped in history. Students’ studio explorations will be based on analyzing the pictorial and written messages surrounding them and using this research to develop a strong, individual creative response in the media of their choosing. Students will spend 4-‐weeks on-‐site in Florence and complete their studio and research projects upon return.
