Beginning this summer, the university will offer workshops for junior and senior high school students and art teachers. 鈥淭hese sessions will be designed not only to instruct or train participants in a particular technique or process, but also to introduce them to our highly skilled Department of Art and Design faculty and the up-to-date equipment and facilities of the Windgate Center of Art and Design,鈥� said Thomas Clifton, chair of 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock鈥檚 Department of Art and Design. A $20.3 million gift from in 2015 enabled 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock to construct the Windgate Center of Art and Design, which opened in 2018. The center houses a fine arts foundry and specialized areas for ceramics, digital fabrication, graphic design, jewelry making, illustration, metal fabrication, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpting, woodworking and space for art history and art education. The state鈥檚 only programs in furniture design and metalsmithing also are housed in the center. 鈥淭he Windgate Center of Art and Design is a state-of-the-art facility with an accomplished and passionate faculty, and we are pleased to continue our partnership with 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock for their art outreach program,鈥� said Pat Forgy, executive director of the Windgate Foundation. 鈥淲e encourage high school students and art teachers in Arkansas and beyond to take advantage of this exciting opportunity to visit campus and explore workshops in areas such as woodworking, metal and digital fabrication, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing and more. Through these workshops, art teachers will learn the latest techniques and students will be able to discover the numerous possibilities available in pursuing a visual arts education.鈥� During the academic school year, high school art students and their art teachers will be able to spend a day in the department鈥檚 studios. Participants will work with 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock faculty and have a day of college-level classes. The sessions will begin in fall 2019 and be offered on select Fridays during the semester. Art teachers will have their own summer workshop in which they receive instruction in current art techniques. The 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art and Design Department is partnering with the , which will assist in recruiting teachers for the workshops. Teachers who participate in the summer workshops will receive support from Thea Foundation for the following school year. Beginning in summer 2021, the university will offer on-campus housing at no charge to students and teachers attending the summer camps. All workshops, including supplies and instructional materials, will be free for students and teachers. Transportation costs will not be covered. 鈥淲e want this opportunity to be accessible to students and teachers in central Arkansas and beyond,鈥� Lampo said. 鈥淏y offering residential opportunities, we hope to encourage students and teachers who may not be able to participate otherwise. This is just one way we are expanding our collaboration with the arts community and helping nurture promising careers in the visual arts.鈥漖]> /news-archive/2018/10/10/faculty-biennial/ Wed, 10 Oct 2018 15:35:16 +0000 /news/?p=72138 ... 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock to host art exhibit featuring faculty work]]> The group exhibition features studio art and design created by the faculty members in the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Department of Art and Design.
