spire significant change throughout the 21st Century.” Peter Arango - America’s Best Kept College Secrets “The most significant facilities and resources are the extraordinary work, rehearsal, digital, and studio spaces available in this fine arts Mecca. For the student who thinks a late night trip to the practice room or digital lab is the cat’s meow,SFUAD is a wonderland. ”Shepard Fairey “I enjoy any opportunity to share my work and my philosophy that art can be about aesthetics and escapism, but simultaneously ideas and engagement. I strive to erode the perceived barriers between fine art and graphic art. My public art and many other chosen platforms are democratic and invite the audience into the dialog.” Santa Fe is number four in Gross Art Sales, globally. New York LA Paris Santa Fe

Workshops

Alternative Photographic Processes: 19th cetury processes in a 21st century context - This course introduces various alternative photographic processes invented in the 19th century. Emphasis is given to negative enlargement with analog and digital technologies. The course also involves advanced work with large-camera and small-camera formats and use of hand-applied emulsions, such as platinum/palladium, cyanotype, salt, and Van Dyke processes. Interpretive Landscape Photography: This advanced black and white analog workshop is for experienced photographers working in all formats who have knowledge of darkroom procedures. David Scheinbaum will lead numerous field sessions to areas of photographic interest in northern New Mexico. In addition, there will be daily print viewing sessions and critiques designed to refine the students’ artistic goals, with an emphasis on the photographic process as an interpretive medium rather than mere record making. This class will also focus on darkroom demonstrations and discussion covering film exposure and development, contact and projection printing, understanding photographic chemistry, and using chemistry as a tool for fine tuning print ambiance. Other techniques taught will include toning for both permanence and expression and the use of a 4×5 view camera. The course will con-
21
clude with discussions and demonstrations on proper print presentation stressing the use of archival materials.
22
David will be available during field and darkroom sessions offering students more individualized instruction. It is his goal that this course experience will give participants new insight into an understanding of their subject matter so, when photographing or printing, they can concentrate on interpretation rather than documentation. Concept Art for Games: The objective of the workshop sponsored by Media Design School is to inspire the artist to think creatively and to push the boundaries to create what their imagination perceives. The students should also come away from the course with an understanding of color, composition and light values. In addition the students should: Improve drawing skills, Improve creativity, and learn to work comfortably in a digital painting package. Flash Animation: Learn how to create basic Flash animations and movies using the timeline. Find out how to navigate the Flash interface, create new Flash files, set stage properties, import images into Flash, create and work with text, create and format drawing objects and add layers. Discover how the timeline in Flash can be used to create basic frame-by-frame animations and motion tweened animations.

Icon Words: The course aims to investigate and develop the themes about the iconic power of the typographic alphabets and management fonts supplying the students with useful tools to be used in different visual fields.In the history and especially in the the graphic design history, the alphabets were used not only for their significant value but also for their aesthetic relevance. In fact the graphic and advertising designers, with their work, often transform, amplify or turn over the function of the written words and the text reading.This approach open unlimited creative chances. The course will start from the presentation of case-histories and relevant examples of original and creative typography and will go trough the didactic planning underwrite. Micro Cinema: Micro Cinema encourages filmmakers to embrace non-traditional and unorthodox approaches to production and distribution and utilize the web, mobile devices, and emerging digital platforms to reach a global audience.

Underground Story Telling: This interdisciplinary course focuses on Graphic Design, Photography, Fine Art and Illustration as expressed in subcultures such as comic books, album art, graffiti, and other alternative forms of production. Projects focus on building bodies of work, unifying stylistic approaches, and looking at long-term objectives as artists and designers. Class discussions will address such questions as, “How do we get involved in subcultural movements we care about?” and “How do we make or find an audience?” while offering exposure to a wide range of artists, movements, and creative actions happening in the world today. At the Wheel(Finding Center): So much of our work as artists, designers, architects happens in our heads or at the digital screen. This beginning pottery class sponsored by Santa Fe University of Art & Design places you “at the potter’s wheel” with materia prima, grounding you with the challenge of centering that lump of clay and tactilely moving it to form bowls and cylinders. Learn real techniques-throwing, trimming, glazing-and reawaken your thinking hands! Students will have the opportunity to make mugs and bowls, among other forms.

The Myth of the City (Build Your Own): For this collaborative project students may get as creative as they wish: design teams may draw from fantasy, mythical places, or act as visionaries to build a sustainable city for the third millennium. However, all cities must function as a place where people can actually live, breathe, and thrive. To do this successfully students will examine the historical context of cities, gain experience creating physical renderings, learn how to construct models, and participate in philosophical discovery that explores how people interact with place. From Natives to Nukes: Although you can love history gleaned from books, it is much better to smell it, taste it, see it, and hear it. Rather than stay inside and imagine what it was like, we will go the sites where it happened. We will visit Bandelier National Park, where scholars make educated guesses about the prehistoric Ancestral Pueblo, and Pecos National Monument, which was the gateway to the Pueblos from the plains of the Comanche. We will call on the old Spanish redoubts of Trampas and Truchas, defenses against the same Comanches where the descendants of those warrior-farmers still live. We will respectfully explore Taos pueblo, where history is the present, and contrast that style of life with a tour of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the birth place of the atom bomb. In addition, depending on the interests of participants, we can tour important artistic sites, such as the Blumenschein House and Mabel Dodge House
29
in Taos, or the Georgia O’Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiu. In all regards, this workshop will be a blast! Don’t forget your camera and sketchbook, because all of it is beautiful.

Urban Arts (Intro to Hip Hop): This course is a physical, creative and intellectual immersion into hip hop dance, including an exploration of relevant histories, practices, philosophies and contemporary issues. Students will train in the following disciplines: dance conditioning to prepare for the physical, technical, rhythmic, and emotional expression of hip hop choreography; B-boying/ B-girling and battling; and influential 70s funk-styles such as popping, waving, tutting, animation, and boogaloo. A few hours per week will be spent viewing and discussing relevant dance footage and docmentaries offering opportunities to explore hip hop in relation to identity, empowerment, social justice,spirituality, community, and commercialism. Readings will explore pre-Civil war roots of hip hop dance, the emergence of the “hip hop generation,” and culture versus commercialization of hip hop. Worlds of Music (3 part workshop): Week 1: American Folk Music and Choral Tradition: The four day acoustic americana course will explore american traditional folk music in several of it’s many forms; old-time country string band fiddle tunes and songs, folk blues and rags, jug band music, and contemporary americana folk music.
31
32
We’ll work toward learning complete arrangements for folk songs, learning instrumental and vocal parts including harmonies and explore the bacground and history of the song. We’ll discuss the folk process; how a song has changed and grown as it has been passed down through the generations and take a look at traditional folk music’s impact on contemporary americana music. We”ll listen to recorded examples of the music. Some sort of recording device for each student is highly recommended. I look forward to both meeting and making music with you all! Week 2: African Drumming: In this hands-on African Drumming seminar we will learn basic technique for African hand drums: Tone, Bass, and Slap. We will then learn rhythms from Central (Congo) or West (Guinea) Africa. The rhythms have a history that we will briefly discuss; where it comes from, who does it and upon what occasion. Singing, small percussion, and dunun will be added where appropriate. Week 3: Balkan Music and Dance: The Balkan Music and Dance summer course is intended for participants to gain and expand their understanding of Balkan music, dance, and culture. The repertoire will include instrumental as well as vocal material from diverse cultures such as Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Albania, as well as the traditional dances that accompany this music. All instruments, vocalists, dancers, and observers are welcome. Previous knowledge or experience not necessary, just bring an interest and curiosity.
