This message to all students, faculty and staff has been approved by Dr. Sally McRorie, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

As our highest priority remains the health and safety of the entire campus community, Florida State University will extend the planned period of remote learning at the start of the Spring 2021 semester.

The spring semester will begin Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021; however, all classes will be taught remotely through Friday, Jan. 15, 2021. To be clear, this means all spring semester face-to-face, hybrid, flex and remote classes will meet remotely between Jan. 6, 2021, and Jan. 15, 2021. This includes the FSU Panama City campus.

All spring semester face-to-face, hybrid and flex classes scheduled to meet in-person will begin face-to-face instruction Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. FSU will be closed Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday and classes will not meet.

This additional week of remote classes will give the university more time to test members of the campus community for COVID-19 as they return and reduce the potential for community spread of the virus. With rising cases across the nation, we?ve made this decision out of an abundance of caution and believe the extra week of remote classes will allow FSU to begin the spring semester in the safest possible manner.

As a reminder, FSU has canceled Spring Break in 2021, and the spring semester will end Friday, April 23, 2021, a week earlier than originally planned. Commencement will occur the weekend of April 23, following the end of classes and in accordance with the CDC guidelines for large gatherings at that time.

Students in University Housing or select academic programs may receive additional follow-up communications with specific instructions. Students in internships or experiential classes outside of the Tallahassee or Panama City campus areas should follow the guidance of their individual programs and local officials.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we work together to provide a healthier and safer environment for the entire campus community.

Sincerely,

Sally McRorie
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

Hi Grads,

If you have a studio elective for spring ? check out these special topics courses available next semester. These are available at the graduate level ? email Tenee? Hart to set it up for you.

If you have any questions about the course, please contact the professor directly.


Advanced Workshop: Sampling and Subversion with Digital Images
ART4929C-001
TuTh 4:00 ? 6:30pm
Instructor: Clint Sleeper



Description:
This class is being taught synchronous/remotely, with a variety of in-person components that students can voluntarily attend. These will include software, camera and inkjet printing demos, plus lab time as appropriate. Students in each class meeting will be limited to four individuals.

By studying the approaches of contemporary artists, students in this studio course are asked to form cohesive projects that consider digital images through philosophical and topical research, and question the tools we use as imagemakers. Example lessons in this course include: the digital archive as a site for explorations of identity, photography after the lens, the politics of (in)visibility, hypergraphy in the 21st century, metadata for activists, and glitch as a metaphor in non-western artworks.



Advanced Workshop: Embodied Space
ART4928C-001
TuTh 1:20PM - 3:50PM
Instructor: Terri Lindbloom


Description:
This class is being taught synchronous/remotely, with a variety of in-person components that students can voluntarily attend.

This course will explore the effects of how built and naturally defined spaces (sacred and profane) as well as natural and man-made forms affect and encourage our daily interactions with friends, family, peers and the general public.

We will address and investigate our individualized experiences as well as group experiences. For example, how and why is one motivated to act a certain way within a religious architectural site or within an ancestral site vs a football stadium.  What are the similarities and differences and what are the consequences of our interactions?  How are we encouraged to participate and interact in a natural park site vs. a forest or field.   How is that so different from how one interacts within one?s own intimate space or within one?s family home.
Also, how do cultural histories, family heritage, etc. affect how we situate our bodies in space?

These are just some questions we will investigate for our research and ultimate inspiration. Assignments will encourage investigating singular or multiple forms, installations, performative acts, video, etc.

This course is multidisciplinary.  Students from all areas of interest are invited to join.  The assignments will allow for anyone who is interested in photography, ceramics, printmaking, painting, digital media, etc.  It?s open to all disciplines.
