Wk 15: Designing Your Life
It’s “Designing the Life you Really Want” week in Art 110! We’ll be in FA4-311 for an awesome visiting artist talk by Chantae Reden, and our Art Talk & Activity will both be about applying “Design Thinking” to Life Design.
Visiting Artist: Chantae Reden
Our visiting artist is action sport & travel writer Chantae Reden. She graduated from USC in 2012, moved to Perth, Australia, and has been traveling the world and writing about it ever since.
Wk 14 Sketching in the Garden
We’re off for a relaxing sketching trip to the CSULB Japanese Garden. Plus a few samples of some of your great Artist Conversations. Plus Jane’s Walk EC this weekend!
Passionate arguments in support of nothing (I read the GPE (WPE) again today)
Bad data and presumptuous essay prompts conspire to make students write safe, conforming essays. A tiny step toward a more conforming life. What if the GPE exam were preceded by a creative brainstorming session? Would the essays be different?
