Arts education refers to education in the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and visual arts. Education in the arts is an integral part of developing each human. In fact, many advocate that STEM does not truly pick up STEAM without the Arts!

Explore New Mexico’s beauty, grandeur, and fragility through the arts. Learn how artists are creating community around common appreciation and concerns for the environment. We’ll discover artists whose creative processes engage the natural environment in ways that make us see our own creative possibilities in the wild as well as in the urban jungle. Assignments include field trips to site-specific earthworks to inspire the creation of earth artworks in small groups and individually. We’ll learn how critical thinking is the key to unlocking your creative spirit. In this seminar and your other UNM classes you will work with types of texts, lectures, exams and assignments that are new to you. Your ENGL 101 class in this FLC will help you learn how to effectively work with and learn from these college level materials.

Greek Tragedy, Shakespeare, Broadway, Cirque du Soleil, Albuquerque Little Theatre, Tricklock, Theatre X, The Box, and Improv: Theatre Appreciation (THEA 105) examines beginning theory and the business of live theatre. We will attend performances together and meet actors, directors, authors, costumers, and technicians, for a “behind the scenes” look at live theatre. Writing for ENGL 102 will be centered on the topics we explore in THEA 105 and the genres of writing associated with live theatre and with the appreciation of live theatre. You will have an opportunity to explore your inner live-theatre artist.

“Introduction to Ceramics” is a “hands on” art studio experience that introduces you to the terms, concepts, historical and technical information that support creative development. You will discover the techniques of hand building and throwing basic clay bodies. Glaze, oxidation, reduction and atmospheric firing are taught. Readings and lectures are included and guest artists will speak. We will view images from UNM’s clay collections and from ArtStor. This studio experience is a creative incubator and a learning laboratory. It will promote a life-long enjoyment of ceramics and all its diverse reflections of human development and the aesthetic qualities clay possesses. Your own clay creations will reflect your first studio experience in the UNM College of Fine Arts.

In this Learning Community we will be using widely accessible tools (phone’s, iPods, open source or free software), in addition to professional cameras and software, to examine the digital frame through the creation of several media projects. The rich culture of Albuquerque and New Mexico will provide the foundation for all projects. Students will work independently and in collaboration to develop projects and presentations. Assignments will include short documentaries, interactive game environments and e-pubs and visual live presentations. Through these assignments, students will develop skills in using digital tools and become more aware of their own personal frames. The workshop will also involve students actively utilizing online materials as preparation for successful future online experiences.

Acting (good acting!) is more than reciting and interpreting a script. Starting with the character you are playing right now we will generate writing skills and acting skills simultaneously. Good writing is more than just putting words on the page. It is the process of critical reading, idea generation, rhetorical context, writing and revision too. Working with Dodie Montgomery in Theater 120, we will learn the fundamentals of acting and use those skills to bring literature to life. Using that experience in English 101, we will learn the foundations of college writing and analytic reading as we explore the writing process in ways that might surprise you (and might please you, too!).
