We will work with a variety of drawing media and will also sculpt both the hand and the foot in plasticine (those who have taken the course previously will focus their attention on sculpting elbows and knees). One field trip to the zoo will enable us to study the movements and musculature of animals and the ways in which these both relate and differ from the human figure.

ART ST 358/458/529.372 TOPICS/NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY (May 15 – May 28)
Instructor: M. Cook MTWRF 8:00-5:00 + ARR OFF CAMP
In essence, this course is an examination of what one considers to be reality. What is a primary and essential experience? How is experience perceived in the highly mediated environment that is western society/culture at the beginning of 21st century? What part does technology play in this perception of experience? What is your relationship to Nature? What is your relationship to Nature as an artist? What impact has technology had upon Nature and your understanding of your relationship to it? How does technology shape that vision? What is the impact of native culture? What is New Mexico ? These questions and many more are the basis for this ten-day intensive field study workshop. We will examine such subjects as cultural and physical displacement, resource depletion, environmental crisis, and the simulation of nature that surrounds us.
The course structure will consist of daily readings and studio production accompanied by an evening show of videotapes. There will be outings to a number of sites of interest and several rigorous hikes.
The primary medium for the course is video. No prior experience with video is required. You will learn the basics of this medium in an intensive "hands on" experience from the taping of original material to the editing of that material. All work is produced on non-linear digital editors, computers.
The course will have as its main objective the production of a group videotape, the production of an individual work, and familiarity with a collection of readings that shape the experience of the workshop. Tools used will be audio and video recorders, photography, drawing, and materials and processes that are specific to the individual work of each participant. Students are encouraged to think in advance and bring any other tools/materials they deem appropriate. Contact instructor (mcook@unm.edu) for further details. This course is restricted and to register requires permission of instructor. Special fee $138, plus non-refundable deposit.

This is a studio course in which you can learn basic techniques in printmaking as tools to express yourself and help people in the community by making prints together. Artists and educators interested in a broader conceptual engagement of art which includes issues such as community, society, culture, and humanity will find this course valuable.
The course includes service-learning objectives, and students will practice printmaking through collaboration with the children in Albuquerque Public Schools, youth enrolled in special programs, people from shelters, and with local artists. Guest speakers working in art education and related community service will visit the class on several occasions.
Relief printing (carving on wood or linoleum), Collagraph (collaging different textured materials), and Monotype (painting on plexiglas or linoleum and adding digital images) techniques will be introduced. Emphasis in this course is placed on creating your own work. Students are required to compose a portfolio and participate in a group critique.
Collaboration raises awareness of how art can serve a larger humanitarian purpose. Benefits to participants include self-discovery, self-esteem, self-confidence, and also a sense of care, respect, and love for one another. It is one small way to nurture peace in our society and help make our children and people in our community more loving and creative. Special fee $63 plus fee for lab use.
