Special Teachers Buzz Session on Digital Print Making

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Apr 24, 2007 04:02pm

We have a special session scheduled for NMC Campus Teachers Buzz on May 7 at 9:00am PDT. Hosts RuArt Semaphore and Magda Voss help us welcome Prof. Michael Connors and the virtual design team at University of Wisconsin-Madison to learn about work with Digital Printmaking students in Second Life.

Prof. Connors notes:

My primary interest at this time is to explore the possibilities that online technology brings to the critique - a core element in the art curriculum. A virtual environment offers ways to visualize key concepts in the critique as well as provide a more extensive consideration of the students’ sources for inspiration. Online simulations help reveal and analyze the decision making process used by students during the development their ideas. A primary goal of the critique is to see one’s own work objectively through the eyes of others. This goal is not exclusive to the arts, but has applications in most academic fields.

Date/Time: May 7 at 9:00-10:00am PDT
