A New Decade, a New Year, and a New Semester

Gosh, that's a lot of NEW stuff.

I have been busy so posts have been minimal. But I will try and keep up better this semester.

So far classes are looking good, pretty full. So full that we have four 3D classes. Gosh that room will be busy back there. I think all the ceramics courses are closed as of now. All but one of the 3D classes is closed. Sculpture I has enough to make and the upper level sculpture courses are pretty close, but will be OK I am sure. We have had so many folks graduating it's killing our numbers. That's a good thing, I guess. We will have three more folks graduating this spring as well, I hope.

We had an incredible senior show last semester. It had excellent work, all of it unique and not without it's share of controversy. It really raised the bar for a lot of up coming students.

In that light there is an excellent website to check out ART ON TRIAL. It does a really amazing job of opening up the discussion about censorship and how it works in today's contemporary society. Some of the stories are just outrageous. ART 464, the Theory class for the sculpture majors will be taking an open and detailed look at this very topic when the semester starts.
