๐ข๐๐ค๐ - join us for a communal meal on November 4th. After the lecture by David Silver we sit down together for ๐ข๐๐ค๐. Susanne Cockrellโs UDIST class will make the soup, and the students, faculty and staff of CCA have made ceramic bowls. There is a bowl for each calendar year that CCAC has been in existence. Both the lecture and the soup are free, and open to everyone. If you would like to take a bowl (or bowls) home with you, we will be accepting donations on a sliding scale. Funds raised by the bowls will support more communal food related activities in the future.

At the beginning of the school year, I try to get a feel for where the students are at- what they think art school is and what they think an artist does. Last year I tried out this survey to gauge the collective mindset of the class. Throughout the semester, I experimented with ways to get them more open and more loose. What I realized was that some foundational beliefs needed to be shaken up a bit to make space for new approaches.
.
I made these pins as a way to subtly inject new ideas and other ways of thinking. Sometimes, it worked.
.
Iโm not exactly sure all the reasons why, and it certainly wasnโt just my class, but when they took the same survey at the end of the semester, they were definitely looser and more open.
.
Iโm curious about how other @foundationsinart professors think about this? What do you do?

Following a thorough review by the Office ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ & ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ we have determined that several phrases were giving:
โ unc
โ administrator
โ โback in my dayโ
โ unsolicited lecture
We sincerely apologize for any unc-related harm this may have caused.
Our team has since consulted with the Department of Gen Z Affairs, the Office of Brainrot Communications, and several people under the age of 25.
The advice remains unchanged but we have made the necessary linguistic adjustments.
We appreciate your patience during this important period of de-uncification.
๐ Thank you for your understanding.
๐ We will do better.
๐ซก The Unc Department remains committed to serving you.
This message has been approved by the Office of Communications, the Department of Student Affairs, and one extremely online sophomore who told us to โbe so fr.โ
I would also like to thank my First Year bestie and foundations pedagogue extraordinaire @celkovich for help with this content.
Yes ChatGPT helped translate this post. I canโt speak like that.

Itโs that season! Maybe you know someone heading off to college who might roll their eyes when you send this to them? This is some accumulated soft knowledge we professors have gathered from watching year after year. I donโt have First Year students for the first time in fifteen years, so this energy had to go somewhere. Might as well go here. I know Iโm gonna take heat for slide 5 from someone. If you teach, feel free to add your own insights.

I played with these ceramic mug doodles during each stay at Montalvo. Throw some mugs during the the first round in January 2025, and decal some older mugs. Fire and refire and draw more decals. Collage more decals on the second round, fire again. Make more mugs, refire older ones. Round and round until they feel done or they die.

W.I.P. - some ceramic work from my recent time at Montalvo.
Iโm trying to figure things out and how it all fits together (if it all fits together).
Thank you to @julieorser , @larajeangal and Josiah for the hands on studio visit help.

Yes, there is some sloppy digital editing of some background.

While I was at Montalvo I was trying to figure out where these things are going? Something about reorganizing feelings through collage and translating three dimensional form into something consumable. Going both ways and making things easier and more difficult.
