Volunteer Opp for Art Majors :)

Dear Friends & Faculty,

Our office is recruiting student volunteers to help support the 2nd Annual 5th Grade Day, which will be held on Wednesday, May 13th. Over 270 Bristol/Warren students will enjoy a campus tour, explore a major, and interact with members of clubs, organizations and teams. Last year, approximately 100 Roger Williams volunteers gave an hour or more of their time to help make this event a success. An application is attached to this message.

An important segment of the schedule is devoted to RWU students spending time with 5th graders who have expressed an interest in a particular major.

We have just tallied up the Majors that the kids are interested in and 48 students chose the Arts!

Please help me get the word out to RWU students focusing on Visual or Performance Arts that we need their help from 10:45-11:45. We need (7) Arts Students to sit at a table in the Rec Ctr. with (9) Fifth Graders and talk about why they chose their major and what types of experiences they are having through this course of study.

There will be a school chaperone with each group and we will have Majors 'cheat sheets' for them to read from if they get stuck.

Research has shown that by Middle School, students have already formed strong opinions about going to college. The 5th Grade Day program, co-sponsored by RWU and the Bristol/Warren Regional School District, was created to promote college access among our elementary school neighbors.
Any students interested in participating in the program should contact the Feinstein Center at service@rwu.edu or call us at xSERV.

DON'T FORGET! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TOO

last friday

here are our installations in the landscape from last friday

Hi guys,

This is one of our exhibitions at Gallery 297 in Bristol.
It's coming up very soon.
Support the senior VARTS ladies!

EXTRA CREDIT for all any VA class is welcome

Work on the Matt Bua project will commence MONDAY at 12 noon! For any1 interested in extra credit this is a great way to get it even for ur other VA classes.
I have sourced a bunch of scrap wood for this project, and am still devising a plan of how to get it there, If anyone knows where we can get a pickup or something that would be great, i will throw sum $$ down for gas, if not i will see about renting a U-haul or something for the day i dont think its that expensive. (I will be transporting it this weekend so it is ready for us MONDAY)
Bring tools if you have any, things you like to work with, proper clothes and shoes, we will be working with power tools, and most important bring ur creative minds, we need to get this thing ready for graduation, we got the ok to keep up till then, so this is a great opportunity to show them what we can do, most campus projects get taken down before graduation.
Also if you know of any wood sources feel free to bring them too or contact me and when i have a form of transport we will get them.

Robin Rhode X Damien Hurst

I saw these images of Rhode's BMW, then I saw the images of Hurst's Harley Davidson. What do you guys think of this? Is Harley just riding BMW's coat tails with their "art bike"? Also Rhode's was a performance piece, which created a painting with the BMW.

next week and the week after

hi guys

 i hope you're enjoying this awesome weather.

please bring cameras to next week's class, and video cameras if you can...i am trying to schedule an off campus activity weather permitting.  we will critique austin's project, briefly chekc in with nick and rob,  and then jump into cars so please park nearby.

also, a reminder: roey and rob have appointments with me during my office hours on tuesday, nick has a phone meeting with me tomorrow at 11:50.

next week i will give you all guidelines for self-evaluations and explain the process we will use to evaluate and put a letter on the work we have done this semester.  it also turns out i need at least 2-3 good images of works you have created for this class, eg, your models from memory or works from your self-directed projects.  please get these to me as soon as possible.

the last week of this class will be the final critique, please bring everything you have done on your self-directed projects.  nick, you 

finally, you guys are invited to continue working on the tp from space project from the matt bua workshop, i am happy to give credit for any additional work done on the structure including but not limited to:

-finishing the back side (i bet we can get more wood from the construction, and there is some in the materials lab)

-painting the inside or the outside

-landscaping? wallpapering? interior decor? electronics?

ok, see you soon

help wanted

hey guys

i need someone to review beeper cards with me.  it's pretty easy- they just show me cards and write down what i remember, but they have to be sort of organized and responsible and have decent handwriting.

also, the person for this job can't be a student in one of my classes or someone i know really well.  it's a great job for a psych major because it is based on a psychology experiment from the 1980's.  

if you know anyone who might want to help me, have them get in touch with me at info@deborahaschheim.com.  it's 2 or 3 hours of work at $10/hr, and ideally we'd do it next week or the week after

thanks

deborah

Roey's Reading

In addition to my short reading, here is a really simple (40 Questions) test to see which Multiple Intelligences fit you. I've mentioned this a little in class before, but this is kind of the methodology behind my teaching philosophy, that people have multiple intelligences--not just one IQ. I'd suggest taking the survey before reading my article, so it's less skewed. Some people are entirely split across the board, like me, (see image below) but some people are heavily one MI or another.

Here's the link to the survey:

MI Test

Here's my results: Unfortunately, I have no musical intelligence. :(
