A 9:1 student to faculty ratio At CIA you have access to some of the most creative minds in art and design—our faculty. With a 9:1 student to faculty ratio, our close-knit community encourages collaboration. CIA faculty are practicing artists who will mentor you and bring you into their network. They’re famous for engaging students one-on-one, in hands-on studio practice and dynamic classroom learning.
CIA faculty are collaborators who reach across disciplines to engage their students in new techniques and the latest in technology and to share the breadth of knowledge in other majors. For example, if you choose to major in Communication Design, you may apply your graphic design skills to package design for our Industrial Design students. Or, if you are a Glass major, you may work with our Jewelry + Metals majors to add a metalsmithing technique to your projects. Learn more about our faculty, their artwork and approach to classroom and studio learning on page 186–203. As a dedicated college of art and design, we are focused on the ultimate goal of your future career—making a living doing what you love to do. Whether you dream of life as a studio artist or see yourself in a design firm, our reputation as an outstanding educator prompts many local and national organizations to contact us with internship and partnership opportunities. Each major includes a focus on Professional Practices and our Career Services department cultivates internships and offers all the services necessary to launch students into the professional world of art and design. We also reach out to develop relationships for CIA students who want to bring classroom experience to life in the real world.

majors & programs
CIA Environments: Creative Design to Creative Education One important thought to keep in mind as you read through our majors: they are strategically grouped around four core subject areas we call Environments. The Environment structure is a unique approach to teaching across majors— a built-in system of shared resources that offers a true interdisciplinary approach to art and design education. Majors that are housed under one Environment complement each other, offering an opportunity to share resources and courses. In addition, your exposure to each discipline in an Environment will challenge you to think outside your chosen major to ultimately enhance your understanding of that major.
The best education is collaborative, innovative and imaginative—and is right here at CIA. Our curriculum is based on a depth of learning in each major, combined with breadth of knowledge in as many areas as we offer.
All first-year students begin with the Foundation curriculum, a yearlong intensive exploration of color, form, design and creative problem solving. You’ll emerge from the first year on technically equal footing; ready to concentrate on the study and practice of art and design. Liberal Arts classes weave throughout your fouryear curriculum, teaching you essential communications skills and a solid grounding in art history. In your freshman year you’ll also take an Environmental Elective—a course that gives you an opportunity to learn about multiple majors within a shared area of study known as an Environment: Design; Craft + Material Culture; Visual Arts + Technologies; and Integrated Media. As your sophomore year begins, you will start taking classes in your major—often chosen as a result of your freshman environmental elective experience. In your senior year, you will work on a unique capstone experience—your BFA Exhibit. Not many art and design colleges require this capstone experience, but we believe it is the most important moment in your professional launch. BFAs take many forms, but are ultimately your gallery exhibit or design pitch. As a BFA candidate you’ll create a body of work, present it to the CIA community and respond to their critique. As part of this yearlong project, you’ll also develop an artist statement that explains and frames your vision. You’ll present as a professional and are critiqued as a professional—with the focus on helping refine an artistic path before you graduate.

Master of Arts in Art Education CIA’s 4+1 Program If you’re interested in taking your art and design talents into a classroom of your own as a K-12 art educator, our academic partnership with our campus neighbor, Case Western Reserve University can help you do that. The CIA/CWRU collaborative program offers the required coursework that leads to a Master’s degree and licensure in art education. Once you earn your BFA from CIA, you can apply to CWRU to become a licensed visual arts teacher with only one additional year of study. In this extra year you will have access to the resources of a comprehensive university as you develop essential leadership and teaching skills. Through this program, many CIA students have gone on to become committed, knowledgeable, and creative professionals in art education.
Accreditation & Membership The Cleveland Institute of Art is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and the State of Ohio.

Foundation CIA’s Foundation program will introduce you to the forms, methods, media and concepts crucial to your future academic and professional success. All first year students take a full year of Foundation courses where they develop and strengthen the fundamentals that support each year of study throughout the Institute’s curriculum.
Be prepared for lively debates and the camaraderie that develops as you and your peers work together in studio. The Foundation experience fosters a learning environment that is responsive to your aspirations, as well as to innovations in the world of art and design. We balance fundamental approaches with experimentation to develop your aesthetic sensibilities. You’ll begin with core courses in drawing, design, color and digital studies that introduce you to color, composition, drawing principles and 2D and 3D materials and processes. Digital courses and fabrication safety labs build confidence in your abilities to create. As you work on studio projects you’ll investigate visual dynamics, creative processes and issues that inform contemporary art, design and culture.

The Liberal Arts Environment cultivates the intellectual development of our students as they move through each of our degree programs.
•
•
Your four years at CIA include study in the humanities and sciences. You’ll graduate with a breadth of knowledge that is the hallmark of the baccalaureate degree as you take courses in disciplines from art history to philosophy to anthropology. A singular feature of the Institute’s Liberal Arts curriculum is our approach to studying a subject by connecting it to other disciplines in our program. For example, in your freshman year at CIA, you will read in your English classes about ancient and medieval philosophy and culture while also taking a course in Ancient and Medieval History of Art. This carefully calibrated educational experience creates a comprehensive perspective on a subject that will give you a broad sense of the trajectory of world history itself.
CIA puts creativity at its center, so our Liberal Arts curriculum centers on the idea of culture as a generator of creative ideas. Our students are makers within their cultures and we have built our own Liberal Arts curriculum around the creative core of their learning. The reading and writing that we assign is crucial to the development of your own artistic ideas.
•
In addition, as you complete rigorous assignments in analytical essays and research papers, you’ll become a strong writer, able to convey your point of view in tandem with understanding diverse perspectives.

in the field of art. It encompasses a wide range of forms and approaches
•
including working on paper in various mediums, to installation, collage,
• •
zines and graphic novels.
•
•
As a student in CIA’s Drawing major, you’ll use traditional and non-traditional materials as well as unconventional tools to define your aesthetic identity, as well as challenge your artistic vision and resourcefulness. The Drawing curriculum contains several phases and begins with the investigation of the field and its historical framework. You’ll be introduced to individual studio practice—forming a research process and the development of source material. You’ll master a visual vocabulary that includes scale, proportion, perspective, composition, line, mass and modeling while exploring traditional and non-traditional tools, materials and techniques. Then we’ll begin to focus on communication through drawing, which includes drawing from observation, ideation and experimental processes. Next you’ll focus on style and aesthetics and parallel theories to your own body of work. And you’ll begin to understand drawing in the cultural frameworks of pop and common and high culture. In your final thesis project you’ll work through a comprehensive design and art process: interest (ideas) research, ideation, experimentation, evaluation, reflection and refinement and production.
64 cia.edu/admissions
As part of the Visual Arts + Technologies Environment, Drawing students share in an integrated curriculum that will give you a broad knowledge in the visual arts while strengthening your in-depth conceptual knowledge of the drawing discipline. Your coursework and studio practice will be enriched as you pursue collaborations and shared coursework in the other disciplines that make up the VAT Environment: Printmaking, Painting, Fiber + Material Studies and Sculpture. You’ll receive a wide range of support beginning with a faculty of professionals with diverse approaches to art-making. In our professional practices program you’ll develop small business knowledge that will empower you to set up your professional studio. You’ll be tutored in creating your professional portfolio and developing grant-writing skills. And you’ll learn about the appropriate communications skills and proper etiquette necessary for successfully approaching dealers, curators and collectors. In addition, you’ll have access to the VAT Environment artist-in-residence, who is an artist working at the top of his or her field. This artist teaches regular courses in the environment as well as working individually with students. The Drawing department also invites visiting artists to give lectures and meet with students one
on one. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an annual trip, sponsored by the VAT Environment, where you’ll experience firsthand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. Drawing students have generous individual studio spaces, a well-equipped workshop and excellent critique space, all within the sky-lit, factory loft space of the Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts. The Drawing curriculum culminates with a BFA exhibition that consists not only of presenting a body of self-initiated work, but also an oral defense and a written artist statement. The BFA degree will prepare you for a career in the visual arts as a professional artist. While many of our graduates go on to earn their MFA degrees at pre-eminent graduate programs to deepen their knowledge of their own practice or become curator, critic and art administrator, or art teacher on the K-12 or college level, others follow entrepreneurial paths pursuing successful careers as illustrators, designers, creative directors, graphic novelists, zine authors, set designers, etc.

Artists working in Fiber + Material Studies often challenge the long-standing hierarchies of art, notably: the presumption that sight is the primary road to knowledge; that concept and function are mutually exclusive; that work of the hand is of lesser significance and import than work done with the mind. Our Fiber + Material Studies curriculum focuses on core techniques, concepts and processes: stitching, dyeing, felt making, weaving, silk screen, sewing, pattern making and computer-aided design. Each year one or two projects or courses are structured to intersect and collaborate with classes offered in the Industrial Design and T.I.M.E.–Digital Arts majors.

Glass Glass has enjoyed an exciting history as a field of art and craft. Prior to the early 1960s, designers worked separate from the teams of craftsmen who would actually produce glass objects in factories. The 1960s saw development of the studio glass movement, in which individual artists and craftsmen bridged the gap from making one-of-a-kind sculpture to creating handmade functional glass objects, melding personal expression with the business of being a viable working artist.

Careers:
Our aim is for each student to become a practitioner in the medium. Graduates often enter positions with other artists/craftsmen, schools and workshops, apprenticeships and internships and are highly competitive when applying for graduate study. Students from our program have become leaders in the field as teachers in university programs, practicing designers and of course, artists/craftsmen.
In the last half century, there has been exponential growth in private artist/owner-operated studios, community-access studios and programs in universities—from virtually none to more than several thousand worldwide. As a student in the Glass department, your basic training will center around three processes: working hot glass (glass blowing and off hand, molten glass processes), working glass cold (cutting, fabricating, grinding, sandblasting and polishing) and fusion processes (casting, slumping and bending). In your introductory classes you’ll survey all basic methods. You’ll work with technique and concepts in your intermediate glass classes. As you move into higher-level courses, you’ll take on independent study and research that is individually tailored to your developing voice. Glass professors at CIA have devoted their lives to a study and practice of working with glass. While working in traditional methods of design and craftsmanship they also experiment with new forms of expression. This commitment to the art form has earned them national and international recognition as leading contributors to the medium. We have one of the best-equipped undergraduate glass studios in the country. As a Glass major, you’ll have your own individual studio space in the department. Developing a sense of community and collaboration is an important aspect of the program, which is why you will also work with students studying ceramics.
Our student-run facility promotes teamwork and teaches the responsibilities of everyday glass studio operation. The well-ventilated, three-station hot glass area features furnaces for melting both clear and colored glasses, benches and tools for working hot glass and large annealing ovens. An adjacent area holds more computer-controlled ovens for casting, slumping and special forming projects. The cold glass facility is equally well furnished with great lighting, diamond saws, lapping wheels, German and Czech engraving/ cutting lathes, polishing lathes and assorted hand tools for grinding and polishing. Lampworking also has a designated space to complement the other complex glass-working processes.

Through our courses and faculty, we nurture original thinking and the ability to formulate and express clear, relevant concepts. Working in a wide variety of applications—from sequential storytelling to advertising to editorial and print illustration—you’ll address the visual transmission of meaning and discover the intellectual rewards in the images you create. We will challenge you to master the technical skills required by a wide range of materials and techniques—from the traditional media of pencils, acrylics, oils and inks, to contemporary collage, photographic and digital processes.
A solution to any problem must be rooted in the deepest respect for the meaning of your activities and the potential impact of your work on the immediate and greater culture. Most importantly, we encourage students to develop a professional approach to their work. You’ll draw inspiration from field trips to professional art studios and advertising agencies, as well as from interaction with a steady flow of visiting artists. At the end of each year employers, illustrators and designers are invited to the Institute to review portfolios and share experiences with students.
CIA’s Illustration studies cover some diverse areas: presenting ideas, conveying emotions, illuminating text and creating narrative without text. Problem solving remains a core objective for the illustrator.

As a print student you will develop a broad base of knowledge of various print mediums, including traditional intaglio, lithography and relief printing, as well as digital media applications. The program combines approaches to learning that range from kinesthetic to theoretical. As you grow in the major, so too will your ability to produce distinct impressions and multiples, from hand-printed limited editions to unlimited digital ones. In the Printmaking major you will find cooperation and synergy—students and faculty investigating, challenging and influencing this field together. We foster a vigorous environment with a structured program that nurtures, challenges and supports individual vision and talent. Our studio workshop cultivates an innovative and collaborative atmosphere where you’ll take part in the free exchange of ideas, methodology and artistic inquiry. Within the Printmaking space, we’ve created a professional studio setting of more than 4,000 square feet. You’ll have access to numerous etching and lithography presses, as well as book arts and letterpress facilities. You will also receive a personal studio space, allowing you to explore and create in your very own environment. Through our required studio courses you’ll develop a comprehensive approach to understanding, defining, making and questioning your practice of printmaking. Our curriculum is designed to develop your intellectual, creative and critical abilities. You’ll work with a committed group of faculty who are practicing artists widely respected for their knowledge and achievements. They will work with you to hone your skills and define your personal direction. As part of the Visual Arts + Technologies (VAT) Environment at CIA, Printmaking students share in an integrated curriculum that will give you a broad knowledge in the visual arts while strengthening your in-depth conceptual knowledge of the
Printmaking discipline. Your coursework and studio practice will be enriched as you pursue collaborations and shared coursework in the other disciplines that make up the VAT Environment: Drawing, Painting, Fiber + Material Studies and Sculpture. In addition, you’ll have access to the VAT Environment’s Artist-In-Residence, who is an artist working at the top of his or her field. This artist teaches regular courses in the environment as well as working individually with students. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an annual trip, sponsored by the VAT Environment, where you’ll experience first-hand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. In our Professional Practices program, students develop small business knowledge that will empower you to set up your professional studio. You’ll be tutored in creating your professional portfolio and developing grant-writing skills. In addition, you’ll learn about the appropriate communications skills and proper etiquette necessary for successfully approaching dealers, curators and collectors. The Printmaking curriculum culminates with a BFA exhibition that consists not only of presenting a body of selfinitiated work, but also an oral defense and a written artist statement. Our Printmaking graduates go on to work in fine arts print studios executing original prints for other artists. They have gone on to receive full stipends in prominent studio programs in museums and in academia and are creative and challenging teachers and cultural activists. Our graduates have gone on to work in web design companies, in museums, in conservation, as curators for publishers and in art galleries.

Careers:
CIA’s Sculpture program will prepare you for a dynamic career as a professional working artist. Students who have graduated with degrees in Sculpture have gone on to work in a wide variety of fields including creative design, education, gallery direction and nonprofit administration. An exceptional number of our graduates maintain life-long careers as successful studio artists operating in the top of their field.
You’ll find sculpture-educated artists creating installations, performance pieces, public art, social interventions, site-specific works and earthworks—all in addition to crafting traditional object-based works. You’ll receive a wide range of support beginning with a faculty of professionals with diverse approaches to art-making and a commitment to mentoring their students. Your beginning level courses in Sculpture will establish a critical foundation of sculptural design and studio skills. We want each student to have a thorough introduction to all of the various processes and techniques important to the sculptor. These will include mold making, foundry casting, forging, wood and metal design and fabrication and more. Guided by faculty advisors who provide one-on-one instruction and guidance, Sculpture majors are often able to work directly with other studio areas within crafts, design and media technologies. As part of the Visual Arts + Technologies (VAT) Environment at CIA, Sculpture students share in an integrated curriculum that will give you a broad knowledge in the visual arts while strengthening your in-depth conceptual knowledge of the Sculpture discipline. You’ll have many opportunities to pursue collaborations and shared coursework in the other disciplines that make up the VAT Environment: Drawing, Fiber + Material Studies, Painting and Printmaking. Working with these majors will give you a chance to experiment with various modes of presentation including installation, performance and site-specific work.
In addition, you’ll have access to the VAT Environment Artist-In-Residence, who is an artist working at the top of their field. This artist teaches regular courses in the environment as well as working individually with students. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an annual trip, sponsored by the VAT Environment, where you’ll experience first hand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. In addition we will introduce you to new technologies in visualization, design and execution of sculptural work. Sculpture is housed on the second floor of the McCullough building and maintains a state-of-theart facility with extensive wood and metal working capabilities. And when you arrive at CIA in fall 2011, you’ll also be able to use our newly installed coldcasting facility.

We encourage you to experiment as you develop hybridized projects that incorporate technologies that include video, interactive web technologies, photography and animation. The final product is based on your creative input. In the T.I.M.E.–Digital Arts major you will develop custom media tools, learn to research, experiment, create prototypes of projects, produce and document the process and final outcome. You’ll also build your ability to master interactive forms of media including live media, performance and linear media. Work with computer scripts, develop interactive sound and video works, expand gaming environments, or create circuit bending sound instruments. You’ll be able to conceive, plan and program your own software-based artwork. As you develop strong foundation skills in your first year at CIA, your knowledge of traditional studio arts will enhance your interactive projects, giving you a robust toolkit to expand your creative process. Our faculty are professionals in the field who are well-known for creating a collaborative classroom environment to help you grow creatively and professionally. Faculty will guide you through an important foundation in research and critical thinking—helping you develop the tools for creative problem solving and conceptual thinking. You’ll also explore the impact your work will have in social, ethical and cultural contexts, including developing the strategies of integrating social activism with media art. With CIA’s 9:1 student to faculty ratio, you’ll receive the individual attention and mentorship that will help you develop real-world experience.
In addition to providing access and exploration of traditional studio arts, we know that your major requires extensive technology use. At CIA you’ll work in more than just our state-of-the-art computer labs. You can check out the latest equipment for digital video, lighting and sound. And your projects will look professionally produced with the help of a motion capture system, a green-screen Chroma Key studio area, two separate lighting and shooting spaces and a sound recording studio. Career success at CIA is built on developing real-world experience and strengthening your communications skills. Each year you’ll have several opportunities to show your work—to the CIA community and to industry and fine arts professionals through our E.M.I.T. Film, Video and Animation Festival; the juried Student Independent Exhibition held in the school’s Reinberger Galleries; and our annual Spring Show. In addition, we strongly emphasize presentation and public speaking skills that prepare you for pitching your ideas and directing a team.

Our Faculty Your professors will help define the artist or designer you become— the artistic risks you take and the approach you develop to creative problem solving. At CIA our faculty open doors to experiences that are unmatched. Their dedication to teaching and exploration fuels our creative community. As practicing artists and designers, CIA faculty are mentors who teach from a place of experience and success. Their work rests in the permanent collections of the most prestigious museums in the world; The Smithsonian, The Vatican, the Museum of Modern Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Our design faculty hold numerous patents, have designed spaces for internationally-known businesses and restaurants and worked with local governments to establish sustainable design solutions. They value lifelong learning and are regularly awarded intensive fellowships and international residencies to continue their artistic explorations. And they bring those experiences back to the classroom.
Their community partnerships become your community partnerships. For their students, they open doors to workshops with visiting artists, internships, partnerships and real-world experience. Take a look at some of our faculty, learn about their own artistic explorations and see the partnerships they’ve built.
With a 9:1 student to faculty ratio our faculty engage students on an individual level. Small class sizes enable faculty to work with you in the studio and the classroom, to take learning around a table or face-to-face rather than to a lecture hall. Our faculty excel at this one-on-one learning experience—it is an attribute our alumni always remember, years after graduation.

On art: Make art about something.

Dan Cuffaro loves good design. He loves it so much that when he’s not working in it professionally, he’s doing it for fun. “I enjoy walking through old neighborhoods and downtown, soaking up the amazing architectural details and rich materials of traditional structures,” says Cuffaro. “But I also seek out new and innovative architecture whenever I travel. One of my side-projects is creating scale replicas of my favorite places in the world. This three-year effort thus far includes the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, AZ, Charles Street in Boston and a Nordpark transit station in Innsbruck, Austria.” For Cuffaro, this project is about understanding relationships of spaces and materials, the importance of scale and the evolution in thinking over time.
Chair: Integrated Media Environment Department Head: T.I.M.E.–Digital Arts Associate Professor: T.I.M.E.–Digital Arts California College of Arts and Crafts, MFA
For Kristen Baumlier, life leads to art and art can motivate. It can change thoughts and perspectives. It can be a wakeup call and a call to action. As a teacher, Baumlier inspires students to collaborate in their own education and engage the transformative power of art. She encourages them to channel their beliefs “past complaining and toward asking questions and indicating solutions.”
Dan Cuffaro
she uses moving images, sound and choreography in non-traditional ways to provide multiple access points to ideas. She combines analog and digital sources and work in forms that include video, sound, photography, performance and installation. Catch her in her off-hours climbing rocks, scouting farmers markets for food to use in great vegetariancooking recipes and passionately researching new projects. A new project takes her to Wisconsin to buy soybeans for an investigation of food systems and the genetic engineering of food.
Cuffaro is co-founder of the District of Design, an economic development initiative in Cleveland. He is also winner of six IDSA/Business Week IDEA awards and holds 13 patents.
On professionalism: My intent is to produce good design, which I believe is exemplified by solutions that meet the intended need and are beautiful, function well and are well made.
In the classroom, Cuffaro leads students toward building KNOWLEDGE, skills and a visual vocabulary so they can meet design challenges with both expertise and a sense of humanity. Central to his philosophy, he says, “is the ability to see the world from someone else’s point of view. This usercentered approach provides a continuous source of new problems, which can yield new ideas while helping the designer develop a sense of empathy and context.” One of the most successful teaching experiences concerned a project that addressed the safety of U.S. servicemen. “The project lasted over a year and required students and faculty to work side-byside,” Cuffaro says. “The opportunity to define the correct process, then to pair professionals with students on solving a real and serious problem, provided an amazing learning opportunity. The students who were involved matured so quickly and really understood the talent and experience of their faculty.”
On teaching : Core to my philosophy is the ability to see the world from someone else’s point of view.
On the well-set table: I love tr ying new restaurants, but my favorite spots to dine out are Pomodoro in Boston’s North End and Momocho in Cleveland’s Ohio City.

On art: Building narratives through sequences, I challenge the notion of audience desensitization by media, often responding to a chain of sensationalized events.
On teaching : We come in contact with many people during our life. Relative to an entire lifetime, the amount of time I will share with a student is small. My devotion is mandatory.
Mari Hulick Department Head: Communication Design Associate Professor: Communication Design Northwestern University, MFA University of Michigan, BA Art Institute of Chicago, Post Baccalaureate
Maggie Denk-Leigh Department Head: Printmaking Associate Professor: Printmaking Clemson University, MFA Printmaking Xavier University, BA Printmaking, Graphic Design and Business
Denk-Leigh teaches by teaching—and by doing. “I believe an educator teaches by example,” she says. “My own studio work ethic is two-fold. It demonstrates solutions to technical and projectdriven questions and it reveals the educator as a model of a diligent artist and life long student.” Denk-Leigh is a board president of Morgan Conservatory (a paper and book arts center) and received Best in Show Award at “COMMUNinkATE” The Spring 2010 Mid-America Print Council Juried Members Exhibition.
190 cia.edu/admissions
As a fine-art printmaker, Denk-Leigh’s calendar is packed with new projects, group and solo exhibitions and with jurying the works of others. Critical Condition, her artist book and lithograph series, stemmed from her interest in the growing debate over climate change. “It’s about what has come before and what comes next. Terminology associated with the northern polar ice cap has stimulated considerations to what has come before: Before in earth’s evolution, before in the life span of living species as the thaw reveals a time past and before my life in reflection to what comes next,” she says.
Like a true educator, Mari Hulick is never done learning.The Head of Communication Design has lightened her load of earthly possessions to make it easier to travel and she keeps an eclectic stack of reading material at the ready for her offhours. “Every day, I walk, make something new in the studio (no matter how small), make something new in the kitchen (no matter how silly), listen to at least one new piece of music and read a little bit about something I didn’t know about yesterday.” That helps explain why, when it comes to her work in the classroom, Hulick believes it’s her job to show students that school is not a stopover before ‘Real Life.’ “It is real life,” she says. “And the more we impart our passions about and our contradictions within our professions, the better prepared our students will be for their new (just as real) lives.”
On teaching : Teaching is not simply a part of my work and my life. It is central to both.
In recent design work, she collaborated with Carl Pope on “The Wall Remixed,” a print campaign celebrating North Philadelphia neighborhoods. She is creating ongoing information design for educational tools on the American Civil War and she’s involved in a history campaign on the Flats. “We live in a time when the design of all things, from the constructed world to the patterns of human thought and activity, revolves around information,” Hulick says. “The role of the Communication Designer is to reveal and assemble this information into physical, digital and spatial documents that make our world possible and functional.”
On design : Good design serves its purpose well. Great design inspires, angers, awes, enlivens, calms and transcends. It is the stuff of life.
On travel : I love to travel and to make up for the carbon footprint of the international flights every year, I live in Cleveland without a car.
191
On art: The political nature of art is its ability to experientially re-order our relation to the world and with this give us insight into our social existence as subjects rather than objects.
On teaching : The reward of teaching is the sharing of one’s knowledge, but also to enable a student to develop their critical abilities and views.
On his bookshelf: Good cookbooks, science fiction and murder mysteries.
Department Head: Glass Professor: Glass State University of New York, College of Ceramics at Alfred University, MFA San Jose State University, BA Ceramic Art/Glass concentration
Saul Ostrow
Innovation and tradition find their way into the work of Brent Kee Young, whose contemporary glass has been recognized around the world.
Chair: Visual Arts + Technologies Environment Associate Professor: Painting University of Massachusetts, MFA School of Visual Arts, NYC, MFA School of Visual Arts, NYC, Four-Year Certificate
For more than 30 years, Saul Ostrow has committed himself as an artist, curator, thought leader and writer on the critical issues of art and culture. From studio to classroom to the pages of international art magazines, Ostrow digs deep into how art works. In engaging with students, Ostrow aims to guide them not just toward competence with craft, but also toward deep understanding of their work and the art of others. Ostrow is also art editor for Bomb Magazine and editor of “Critical Voices in Art, Theory and Criticism” (Routledge Press).
192 cia.edu/admissions
Brent Kee Young
“I want students to learn that the fundamental perspective of an artist is informed by: technical, intellectual, communication skills and intuition,” he says. “It is also necessary to offer them concrete examples of contemporary artists who worked within multiple frameworks so that they may understand the mechanisms of the art world, while studying the artists’ work for their aesthetic inventiveness and rigor.” Ostrow lives and works in New York and Cleveland. He loves to cook and entertain, drinks good wine and cold vodka and enjoys the occasional cigar.
Young has traveled throughout the United States and Asia to lead workshops on contemporary glass. Young was head of Glass at Aichi University of Education in Japan in 1990. He established the studio and curriculum for the first Glass program in a National University in Japan. For his recent Matrix series, Young posed the creative question: Can form be defined using only light and line? The works themselves, in which forms are created from webs of clear glass, were informed by geometric studies. “The mathematical study of volumes of solid revolution has helped immensely,” Young says. “The works are usually comprised of a number of geometric forms rotated into a solid, set off by another form that usually ends up being part of a rectilinear compositional base.”
On art: Maintaining this dialogue between the artists, the work and the viewer is the essence of what art is.
Young’s affection for folk art can be found in the simplicity of form. “I love the unpretentious, honest feeling of the maker’s hand revealed within the object,” he says. “The least pretentious, least decorated forms seem to resonate with me the most.” Young wants his students to achieve excellence on two levels. “One is to dedicate energy, time and resources to the learning of the media, working with a fascinating material, with all of its history, art, craft, physics, difficulties, laying groundwork within each student to somehow understand the ‘how’s’ of working in glass,” he says. But the “why’s” are at least as important “to understand themselves and expand on the limitations that they have to this point grown with.”
On teaching : The buzz phrase now is life long learning. In the ’70s, I called it learning to learn. The importance is not the object but what you learn in the process of realizing it, emphasizing the learning process.
On six strings: Young recently picked up the Martin 0021 guitar he learned to play during the folk-music era before abandoning it for 35 years while he dedicated himself to glass and ceramics. 193
On teaching : I am an artist and I speak to the students as artists.

Tina Cassara
In business and in teaching, Michael Gollini knows the value of the wide horizon. A veteran designer schooled in both product and interiors, Gollini has learned multiple disciplines and worked in a variety of arenas, providing conceptual imagery for retailers, restaurants, museums and exhibits. In addition to his work at CIA, Gollini is president of Michael Gollini Design Group, Inc. and member of the design review board of the Cleveland Botanical Garden. His clients have included Walt Disney World, IHOP, Sears, Wolfgang Puck and BMW.
Department Head: Fiber + Material Studies Professor: Fiber + Material Studies Cranbrook Academy of Art, MFA Barnard College, BA, Urban Studies
After earning her undergraduate degree, Tina Cassara spent time in Viques in the Juan region of Peru, where she studied with Francisca Mayer from Black Mountain College and taught natural dyes derived from indigenous plants to the local weavers in an effort to revive the industry. While living in New York City, Cassara was co-editor of Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine before attending Cranbrook Academy of Art where she received a MFA from the Fiber Department. Cassara has conducted extensive research into women’s labor in the American textile industry, issues of European migration and relocation and more recently, the assigned value of labor in historically women-dominated textile industries in the South. In the late 1990s, Cassara began exploring the history of textile production, one of the first areas of manufacturing to industrialize and one of the most

resistant to unions. A strong advocate for organized labor, Cassara began conducting one-on-one interviews in LaGrange, Georgia and nearby mill towns, with retired textile mill workers, factory owners, surviving union organizers and members of various textile heritage societies. In 2008–09, Cassara was awarded a sabbatical to further her research in the network of textile heritage societies. She traveled to Cooleemee, NC, to work with organizers of the Textile Heritage Initiative and members of the Troop County Historical Society and perform additional research at the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. Cassara’s research continues in Scranton, Pa., where she is examining documents related to the extensive growth of the mining and silk textile industries. She is currently working on a community-based, social practices exhibition at the Cochran Art Center in LaGrange, Georgia, scheduled for 2011.
Likewise, he hopes his students bring varied experiences to their studies and careers. “We must encourage students to carry on with their studies in art and literature,” he says. “These influences will build depth and broaden the spectrum of their work in their major. An eclectic education will build a student’s character and personality.”
He and his family live in a house he designed, expanded and renovated “with the help of my father and a family full of trades people.” It’s filled with furniture he designed and built in his home shop. Gollini plays guitar, goes to concerts with his kids and has a passion for movies as both lowbrow entertainment and a wildly influential art form.
On teaching : I try to encourage my students to think beyond the obvious while designing or doing research. If the project is to design a coffee shop, they need to go further into the DNA of the customer and their design proposals.
On technology: Working with a Wacom Cintiq and my traditional drawing-board skills, I can produce images that bridge traditional and contemporary while giving me editing flexibility that I didn’t have 10 years ago.
On his media shelves: I have a ridiculous comic and graphic novel collection going back to the mid ’70s. This art form is what motivated me to attend art school.
195
On her art: An ongoing intrigue with the natural world and our interpersonal relationships within it are the inspiration for my work.
On teaching : It is my goal that this environment of learning, discovery, practice and assessment will nurture the development of each individual student as an independent artist.
On being green : She attempts to leave as minimal a footprint as possible on the environment, “and there’s always room for improvement.”

Gretchen Goss
Joyce Kessler is a believer in the Socratic method of teaching, giving students a chance to learn through debate and discussion. She believes that teaching is companionate; and her role is to walk with the student to the place of learning.
Chair: Craft + Material Culture Environment Department Head: Enameling Professor: Enameling Kent State University, MFA and BFA, Enameling
Gretchen Goss balances the time devoted to teaching and her studio with as much time as she can engaging with nature through gardening, picking and canning fruits and vegetables, running trails and swimming in lakes whenever possible. So it’s little surprise that when she gets into her studio to create enamel art, nature shows up in spades. Farms, gardens, plant forms and the tranquility of water are recurring themes in Goss’ work. And for more than 30 years, Goss has been committed to exploring the medium of enamel with students and artists. “It is liberating to work in a medium so unique and rarely seen in mainstream art and contemporary craft practice,” Goss says. 196 cia.edu/admissions
Goss enjoys travel and often travels based on teaching engagements. “I’ve had the opportunity to teach in England and on both coasts of the US and between. I try to see and absorb as much of the local environment as possible with each new teaching experience.” Goss is also a frequent exhibitor at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. With students, Goss aims to relay knowledge by example and exposure to established skills and traditions. But it’s important, too, that students feel encouraged to innovate. Her hope is that even as they’re learning techniques and concepts, they’re exploring a variety of career paths and homing in on who they want to be as artists.
An expert on the work of 20th century American novelist Willa Cather, Kessler has written and lectured on Cather’s transgendered characters, on her narrative strategies regarding the representation of race and on Cather’s use of the visual arts in her fiction. Her article, “‘The Cruelty of Physical Things’: Picture Writing and Violence in Willa Cather’s ‘The Profile,’” will be published in Cather Studies, volume 9, in 2011.
On learning : Students are expected to learn not just from me, but from each other, as well, and to contribute what they know to the general fund of knowledge as the course proceeds.
Beyond her work as Liberal Arts Environment Chair, she served as Interim Dean of Faculty from 2005–2007 and in 1996 collaborated with the Office of Academic Services to create the Center for Writing and Learning Support, which helps students with academic writing and study skills. Off-hours she spends time reading and writing, walking her Labrador, Cyro, and playing basketball with her dachshund, Roxanne, and plying her daily yoga practice.
On preparing to learn: To foster their keenest concentration, Kessler makes her students begin every class with a few Yoga poses.
On the alternate universe: Kessler is pretty sure she was a skateboard hero in another life.

The Creative Edge As life-long learners and practicing artists, CIA faculty will keep you on the creative edge. Each year many of our faculty apply to and are accepted into some of the most prestigious national and international residency programs. Generally completed over the summer, these programs give faculty a chance to explore and refine their technique or develop additional depth in their art and design. What they gain from these enriching residencies finds its way back into the classroom— their experience becomes your experience. Take a look at some of the residencies our faculty have attended over the past two years. • • • • • • •

Faculty Partnerships = Student Experience
Sustainable Design CIA students took local, sustainable design to a new level by creating furniture for the future using materials from Cleveland’s past. In partnership with the nonprofit salvaged woodworking firm A Piece of Cleveland (APOC), Associate Professor Dan Cuffaro led junior Industrial Design students in a project to craft furniture using materials reclaimed from deconstructed Cleveland buildings. The students worked with real clients in departments throughout CIA to develop furniture solutions for office and public space. They presented their designs and working prototypes to the CIA community during an exhibit in CIA’s Reinberger Galleries. The best of the designs will be built and used in CIA’s campus unification project, which includes a significant renovation of the Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts and the construction of a new signature building adjacent to the JMC.
iPhone app Every year in his Game Design classes, Knut Hybinette, Assistant Professor, T.I.M.E.–Digital Arts partners his students with computer science students from Case Western Reserve University. Out of last year’s partnership came a new iPhone app, ChromaWaves. Knut also reached out to three producers and a creative director from the nationally renowned video game producer Electronic Arts (EA) to critique the game. They gave ChromaWaves high marks and in August 2010 it officially launched as an iPhone app.
Fantasy Chess Sets Each year CIA Foundation Professor Barbara Stanczak takes her students to the John G. White Collection of chess sets on permanent view at the Cleveland Public Library. And each year she offers students the opportunity to take what they’ve learned in her Foundation Design class and develop a unique chess set of their own. They are required to create a set that includes 32 figures, a playing board and a game storage piece. Through her partnership with the library, Professor Stanczak’s students are then given display space in the library to exhibit their chess sets.
Our location in the heart of the region’s cultural, educational and medical district is a catalyst for partnerships and collaborations that are unmatched at any art and design school. And CIA faculty are at the root of these relationships. Our Biomedical Art students work with cancer researchers at University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic, Fiber + Material Studies students help families design quilt patches for placement on the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Students in the Visual Arts + Technologies Environment exhibit at the Coventry Arts Gallery and Communication Design students design participant t-shirts for the Cleveland Marathon. We’ve detailed a few of the many partnerships from the 2009–10 school year. Take a minute to read through each project and get a real sense of the real-world experiences available at CIA.

CIA Students + Gauguin When the Cleveland Museum of Art was looking for help in developing the educational component of their world-renowned Gauguin Exhibit in the spring of 2009, they turned to CIA Associate Professor of Printmaking, Maggie Denk-Leigh. Maggie’s students created a video on the lost art of xenographic printmaking—a form of printmaking used in Gauguin’s time. The video played to all visitors of the exhibit— running for more than 3 months. And then the relationship grew. CIA students created a companion exhibit that ran alongside the Gauguin Exhibit. CMA curators asked all CIA students to submit artwork for a caféstyle exhibit, in the Gauguin tradition. Both the student exhibit and the video continued with the Gauguin exhibit as it went international, traveling to Amsterdam with the Gauguin Exhibition.

cleveland + cia campus = your creative hub
224 cia.edu/admissions
Where you’ll live The CIA community surrounds you with creativeminded friends and mentors who will help you find inspiration throughout Cleveland—a city full of cultural energy, ethnic neighborhoods and an accessible downtown core on our nation’s “north coast.” As part of the country’s 16th-largest metropolitan area, Cleveland is just the right size to offer big-city benefits along with a close-knit feel. For your first year at CIA, you’ll live on campus with your fellow freshmen in Taplin Hall. And you’ll enjoy meals at Case Western Reserve University dining halls through a CWRU meal plan. After your first year, you can move off campus to any of the nearby neighborhoods. You might find an apartment above the storefronts of Little Italy, built a hundred years ago by Italian artisans whose grandchildren still run authentic bakeries. Or you might commute by bike from Coventry Village, where funky shops and restaurants draw a diverse crowd from hippies to hipsters.
Here, you’re close to some of the city’s best food and entertainment. Grab pizza or cannoli up the hill in Little Italy. Or take in a film at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, named one of the country’s best repertory movie theaters by the New York Times. The Cinematheque has made its mark locally and nationally as a unique venue for independent films, foreign flicks and events for movie buffs. Make sure to travel into downtown Cleveland, just five miles from campus, to tour the Great Lakes Science Center or rock out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Are you a sports fan? Cheer on the Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers, or Browns at their downtown stadiums. But as great as our city is, we know you’ll spend much of your time in the studio. That’s why our Office of Student Life organizes activities to make sure you take a break sometimes—whether it’s laser tag, ice skating, or a comedy act. Plus each year you’ll look forward to the wildly creative Halloween costume party and the year-end Pink Pig student picnic.
225
Where you’ll learn Our campus is located in the cultural heart of the city, known as University Circle. Packed into one square mile are more than 20 of the region’s most prestigious cultural institutions. We consider many of our neighbors to be an extension of our classrooms: Liberal Arts students experience art history at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Game Design students develop prototypes with computer programmers at Case Western Reserve University. And Biomedical Art students study exotic plants and animals in the Cleveland Botanical Garden.
Where you’ll show off your work No matter how much you enjoy your time in the city, though, we never forget why you’re at The Cleveland Institute of Art: to become a practicing artist or designer. You need not only instruction and inspiration, but also real-world experience and exposure. So we offer multiple opportunities throughout the year for you to exhibit on campus and around town. You’ll become a pro at presenting your work and you’ll build ties along the way with professionals in Cleveland’s art and design community.
We are committed to helping you become an integral part of the greater Cleveland community. So we connect you with opportunities to give back and help out. Last year, for example, some of our students partnered with MetroHealth to lead quilt panel-making workshops so local families could honor loved ones through the AIDS Memorial Quilt. And each year some even go on alternative spring break trips—like working with Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans—where they give their time and talents to great causes.
Student Independent Exhibition: Each winter, CIA students present their annual Student Independent Exhibition in the Reinberger Galleries. Organized, promoted and curated entirely by students, this juried exhibition showcases work from across CIA’s majors—and it offers community members the opportunity to acquire your work for their own collections.
226 cia.edu/admissions
BFA Thesis Exhibition: Preparation for your capstone BFA review threads throughout your entire senior year. You’ll develop a concept at the beginning of the year and have mid-year progress reviews before winter break. Finally, in BFA week at the end of the spring semester, you’ll display your thesis exhibition and present an hour-long defense of your mature body of creative work. Spring Show: This campus-wide student exhibition presents an unparalleled range of ideas, materials and technologies to the University Circle community. The artwork is displayed at various Cleveland locations organized by Environments, or groups of majors: Foundation, Design, Craft + Material Culture, Integrated Media and Visual Arts + Technologies. Best of all, many employers and collectors visit the spring show to see your work. Coventry Center: You might have a chance to exhibit your work off-campus at this art center, maintained by the Visual Arts + Technologies Environment in former retail space on Coventry Road. The Coventry Center hosts CIA classes during the week and workshops, artists talks, student-curated exhibitions and public art events on weekends.
Studio Spaces: We give all students their very own studio space to customize. You’re free to fill it with whatever inspires you—posters, paint, tools, magazine cut-outs, t-shirts, stuffed animals, pictures of friends—or nothing at all. And each department proudly displays student work throughout its studio area. Community Partnerships: Many of our neighboring institutions partner with us to host student-run shows or shows that include your artwork or designs. For instance, three times a year, an art history graduate student from Case Western Reserve University curates an exhibit at the Cleveland Foundation featuring the work of CIA students. Our students’ artwork hangs in the Mandel Building on the CWRU campus. And the Peter B. Lewis Collection, a surprisingly extensive contemporary art collection managed by the chairman of Progressive Corporation, offers internships to our students and often acquires their artwork.
227
CIA Students attend CIA from all over the country and all over the world.
Approximately 500 undergraduate students from across the globe attend the Institute.

Your Portfolio
CD or DVD Discs should be labeled with the following:
• Applicant’s full name • Home address Your portfolio is the cornerstone of your application to The Cleveland Institute of Art and is a significant part of the admission decision.
We also consider your portfolio to be an important asset in the development of your career. It informs us of your artistic experience, education and talent. You’ve spent a long time preparing for this moment and the following guidelines will help you to create a portfolio that best reflects your work. Portfolio Review The Admissions Committee will evaluate your portfolio and will assess your technical abilities, conceptual problem-solving skills and your use of your chosen mediums. Schedule an appointment with one of our Admissions Counselors for a preliminary portfolio review. A campus visit and an appointment with one of our counselors can provide feedback on your current work and guide you as you work towards your best possible portfolio.
• Phone number • Email address
2. Animation or video work must be submitted in either QuickTime (.mov) format or Windows Media Video (.wmv) format. 3. It is preferable that images be assembled and presented in a slide show format, using PowerPoint, Acrobat, or another slide show application. 4. Please submit a numbered list in Microsoft Word on the disc with the title, size, medium and a brief description of each piece. 5. Please do not stick any labels to the front of the CD; mark directly on it with permanent marker.
Additional admission requirements, including your academic credentials, personal statement and letter of recommendation, will be considered upon completion of your application for admission. Build Your Portfolio Your portfolio must be submitted in CD or DVD format. If you are unable to provide a portfolio in these formats, please contact the Office of Admissions for assistance. We do not accept actual artwork of any kind. Your portfolio should include no less than 12 and no more than 20 pieces of your original artwork. Please do not send more than 20 pieces. This number will give us enough information to make an accurate assessment of your abilities. At least four of those pieces must be drawings from observation.
1. Individual files should be in JPEG (jpg) format with a file size not exceeding 1MB each.
Go to cia.edu/admissions for more information on photographing your work and preparing your portfolio. Or contact an admissions counselor at: 1.800.223.4700.
Observational drawings include still life, gesture, or figure drawings, portraits and landscapes. We encourage you to feature your strongest pieces made in your junior and senior years. Portfolio pieces can take many forms including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, mixed media and/or found-object pieces, computergenerated works, illustrations, animations and clay, metal or glass objects.
Work copied from photographs or other published works do not make strong portfolio pieces. If you use source photos, try not to use them as the sole inspiration for your work. The order in which you present your work can have a significant effect on your portfolio review, therefore we suggest you end your presentation with your strongest piece. Relationships in color, media, composition and concept can link one piece to another and help your portfolio flow in a cohesive manner.
Note: No application items will be returned and it is recommended you keep an original copy of your submission for your records.

Your education is an investment in your future as an artist and when you enroll at The Cleveland Institute of Art, you’re getting the very best education. Our Office of Financial Aid is committed to helping you find ways to close the gap between the cost of attending CIA and your ability to fund this education. As you begin to make important choices, please keep in mind: 98% of CIA
Putting Costs into Perspective Your cost of attendance includes more than tuition and housing bills. Our financial aid calculations account for costs that are both direct and indirect:
I ndirect
costs are items not charged to your CIA account, such as books and supplies, transportation and personal and other fees, are considered part of your COA budget for financial award determinations. Don’t be daunted by the size of your COA! You can reduce these figures by combining multiple means such as financial aid, student work-study programs, scholarships, grants and loans.
Direct costs are billed directly from CIA. Direct costs include tuition, institutional fees and on-campus room and board (off-campus room and board costs and are considered indirect).
Per Year
Financing Your Education
Congress and is used as a measure of your family’s financial strength. The direct and indirect costs of your CIA education comprise your cost of attendance (COA). Through the FAFSA process you will be assigned an expected family contribution (EFC). Your eligibility is determined by subtracting your EFC from your COA.

Your transportation and personal expenses can be included in your cost of attendance and factored into your eligibility depending upon how far you live from Cleveland or the amount of personal expenses you expect to incur. We estimate the average annual cost of travel to be $1,400 and personal expenses to be $1,940. If these amounts match your personal situation, then you would add them to the overall cost of attendance listed above, bringing your estimated cost of attendance to $49,218. The cost of attendance for 2010–11 will be available at cia.edu/financialaid as soon as rates become official. Note that if you receive financial aid that exceeds your direct costs, you will be refunded the excess to help pay for your indirect college expenses.

Jessica R. Gund Memorial Library Putting art in context, researching the artists that came before you and learning more about historic movements in art and design are important building blocks of an art and design education. CIA’s Jessica R. Gund Memorial Library is dedicated to the specific research needs of the visual artist, designer and craftsperson. Our collections contain more than 45,000 books, exhibition catalogs and CD-ROMs; 145 current periodical subscriptions; over 125,000 art and architecture slides as well as access to a broad range of digital images; 1,600 sound recordings; 600 videotapes, DVDs and films; a picture file for visual reference; access to online databases and full text resources; and an extensive collection of “artists’ books” (books made by artists as art). Our collections support the Institute’s accredited degree programs, with a special focus on providing materials for studio-intensive instruction. The library documents the major participants, events and trends of international contemporary art, photography, craft and design; includes theory and technical information as well as visual resources; and makes available a variety of professional, legal and business information for artists. The library’s collection of contemporary art publications ranks with the best American colleges and universities. The Institute’s collection of artists’ books, begun in 1982, is a nationally renowned collection. Dating from the 1960s to the present, this collection of 1,300 books represents the range of books made by artists from North America and Western Europe. Some of the classic books in the collection are from artists such as Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Edward Ruscha’s Twenty Six Gasoline Stations, Daniel Spoerri’s Anecdoted Topography of Chance, Ray Johnson’s Paper Snake, Vostell and Higgins’ Fantastic Architecture, Agnes Denes’ Map Projections and Martha Rosler’s Service.
