ART 4322/5322 Painting: Art @ Work
Co-taught by Carol Flueckiger and Ghi Fremaux

Dual focus on studio practice and professional development. Students will be challenged to develop their studio work along with a mock-up residency proposal. We will use the summer 2018 Inspired: Art at Work project as a case study on how artists are able to focus their studio practice to a range of partner organizations. Methods of working will be independent studio time along with think tank workshops, critiques, writing and web-based residency research. One week field study to Elsewhere Studios, Paonia, CO, to visit with the artists in residence for Inspired: Art @ Work residency.

ART 5304/ARTH 7000: Ecotone: A Politics of the Edge
Co-taught by Robin Germany and Dr. Kevin Chua

This hybrid studio and art history graduate seminar involves thinking about the border, in both its socio-political and environmental/ecological senses. The structure of the course will be as follows: 2 weeks in Lubbock, 1 week in Marfa, 1 week in Lubbock. (For the week in Marfa, we will focus more on using the social and ecological landscape of Marfa to think about and make photographs.) We will find ways for students who don't know the rudiments of photography, to pick it up while in Lubbock. The final project will consist of both a research paper and photographic work.
