  • Wk 3: Meeting the Artists!

    Wk 3: Meeting the Artists!

    The range of your “Landscape with a Corpse” projects last week was remarkable: from life & death on the streets of Compton, to Kafkaesque governments that employ tiny ninjas to terminate librarians, to death by makeup. Wild creativity. Brutal honesty. Great work you guys. This week: we meet the artists.

  • Teaching Journal #2 – Periscope Class vs Hybrid Class

    Teaching Journal #2 – Periscope Class vs Hybrid Class

    Reflecting on my “Periscope Class” experiment last fall and the Hybrid Class format I’ll be launching when Fall ’16 semester starts in 2 weeks.

  • Teaching Journal #1

    Teaching Journal #1

    Journal-ISM vs Journal-ING. A “blog” doesn’t always have to think about an audience of readers. In this new “Teaching Journal” series, I’ll try to think in terms of “notes to my future self”. Insights or documented moments that might be useful in future course or activity design.

  • Art is expensive?

    Art is expensive?

    In the past we treasured things because they were scarce. Could it be that today a thing that is not abundant (or sustainable? (or fungible?)) is obscene?
