From kpatterson2 at fsu.edu Thu May 2 09:44:27 2019 From: kpatterson2 at fsu.edu (Keith Patterson) Date: Thu, 2 May 2019 13:44:27 +0000 Subject: [Art-instructors] Reminder-Grades Due Tuesday Message-ID: Good morning all, This is another friendly reminder that grades are due in by May 7th at 4:00PM. We are being proactive and beginning these reminders ahead of schedule. For those instructors who are new to this process or who may need a refresher, follow these steps to submit your grades: * Go to www.my.fsu.edu and log in using your FSUID and password. * From the left side of the portal page, choose Teaching -> Faculty Center to get to My Schedule. * Click the Grade Roster icon (which looks like a small person lecturing) next to the class whose grades you want to submit. The "Go" button should light up after a few moments. * Click the Go button to access the grade roster. * Click the Roster Grade drop-down next to the student's name and select their grade. * NOTE: a dialog box may continually appear as you enter grades reminding you that you have unsaved data. This is normal. Once you have entered all of the grades you intend to enter in one sitting, you can click Save to dismiss this. * The Grade Roster Action drop-down at the top of the roster will always be in the Not Reviewed status by default. You must change this status manually in order to submit your grades. Please remember to change the Approval Status to Approved. Your grades are not submitted if this is not done. A more complete guide (with screenshots) is available from the university's Student Central information site here. Please note: myFSU may default you to a different semester than Fall 2018. Please be sure to double-check the semester you are working when you reach the My Schedule page! As usual, you will receive reminders periodically leading up to the due date for grades. We appreciate your hard work this semester and thank you in advance for taking a proactive approach to getting grades entered! **If you've already submitted your grades, then you are AMAZING!! (please disregard this email) Thank you, Keith Patterson Academic Program Specialist Department of Art Florida State University 850-644-2932 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Watkins) Date: Mon, 13 May 2019 19:09:43 +0000 Subject: [Art-instructors] An Artful Spring, Update! Message-ID: An Artful Spring Please join me for the opening reception of GUT/CUT Sunday, May 19th from 3-7PM at Park Ave. Studios in Savannah, GA. This duo-show between artist Kelly Boehmer and myself (Brittany M. Watkins), explores themes of vulnerability and empathy through our individual relationships with color, material, and process. Each independent body of work speaks to the other regarding internal make-up of the human constitution. For the first time, I am engaging a dialogue with (CUT) and/or destruction as a means to examine psychological space alongside Boehmer's ongoing inquiry into the physical internal (GUT) through historical and fairy tale narratives. A distinct connection between the artwork is carried throughout the space as the viewer will be saturated by immersive color and imagery. This show is hosted by contemporary artist Sharon Norwood and curated by Allison Westerfield. To follow future art exhibitions and events at Park Ave. Studios click the Facebook link below! After the installment of GUT/CUT, I will be traveling to Rabun Gap, Georgia for a two-week residency at The Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences to continue the production of what I have termed "Remnant Paintings/Works" (examples below) as well as the development of a new series of experimental "Rumination Paintings" on paper. I would like to share a little background into the process of these "Remnant Works" as this process is a crux of the upcoming show The Sore on Tim's Libido, upholstery on wood with acrylic & latex paint, 2018. Remnant painting from AFFECT-ED, BEING at 701 Center for Contemporary Arts In 2016, I began re-envisioning objects from one installation to another. This involved cutting, or flipping, or hanging, or stacking, and slathering these items with layers of paint. These items are then able to live on in a new form, while carrying the memory of their old self. This practice led me to question where the dead object would ultimately remain. I was faced with the reality that they often find their way back to the dumpsters and streets from which I first saved them. Shifting Tides Cubed, couch upholstery and leather, bed sheets, acrylic & latex paint, 2018. Remnant painting displayed left, installation shot from AFFECT-ED, BEING at 701 Center for Contemporary Arts. Thus, I began to skin the upholstered furniture, stretching and composing these remnants onto the canvas. They were transformed into paintings in their own right. These painted works have since gone on to inform new installations along with the ability to stand alone (refer to installation shot above). This material exploration has enabled me to further manipulate the various upholsteries and fabrics, recently having incorporated hand-stitching and collage for a more dynamic and expressive composition. You may see my newest series of "Remnant Works" at GUT/CUT starting this Sunday, May 19th from 3-7PM. She show will remain on view at Park Ave. Studios through Sunday, June 9, 2019. The gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday 11AM-3PM, Friday-Saturday by appointment. For inquiries or to schedule an appointment please call (727) 656-4021 or (770) 596-5218.

Host, William Leech, discusses everything from art making to the economics of beekeeping, from the pros and cons of therapy, to favorite flavors of vegan ice cream with creators from around the U.S.!
