Responsibilities Included:
Drawing I - students are introduced to the history, major themes and role of drawing in art, to the various media such as charcoal, graphite, brush and ink, and to the technical aspects of Drawing such as using 1-point and 2-point perspective, foreshortening, balancing positive/negative space. Particular emphasis is placed on the student’s mastery of using various types of line, creating a wide range of values and both real and simulated textural surfaces within the composition. The principal objective is the student’s mastery of a variety of expressive drawing media that demonstrates a sense of imagination and an expanded awareness for having carefully studied the world around them.
MFA Seminar – graduate candidates were each responsible for contributing a current and meaningful article on their choice of art topics. All students read the articles collected and the group met at a local coffee house once a week to discuss a topic-of-the-week, such as “disposable art.” In addition, the group attended numerous gallery openings from various galleries such as the Red Gallery in Savannah to First Fridays in Augusta where they were interviewed on a local television station. In an effort to get the students involved outside the halls of the art building we also attended several local plays such as the Black Box production of “Jitney” and “The Laramie Project.” Both plays were later used as a springboard for discussion about how life “feeds”and is reflected in our artwork.
Digital Photography – designed the digital photography program, introduced students to digital camera’s lens system, storage formats, resolutions, white balance, uploading and retouching digital information, compared the differences between analog systems and digital systms, printers, inks and papers (what is archival and what is not), produced large format digital negatives which were printed in traditional darkroom, introduced wide format inkjet printing; structured roundtable discussions of critical theory, ethics and law, held formal critiques including advanced and graduate level students. In addition to Digital Photo I, designed contracts/requirements for advanced lessons in techincal and critical theory and developed research assignments for those students who wanted to continue digital photopgrahy studies. Semester culminated in final portfolio presentations.
During the April 2003 GSU Student Juried Art Exhibit, out of the 30 pieces of 2-Dimensional artwork that got into this annual juried show, 14 artworks were from my Digital Photo Classes. April 2004 - of the 23 two-dimensional works in the show, 11 artworks were from my digital classes.
Advanced Students required to make all arrangements, press kits etc., and install an exhibition whose site they are responsible for arranging. The April 2003 exhibit was titled “Off the Wall” and was held in an airplane hangar at the Statesboro Airport. The exhibit featured 3-dimensional photo units.
The November 2003 Advanced Digital Exhibit, titled “Focus” spotlighted twelve students. The show was held in an empty downtown Statesboro funiture gallery which the students cleaned and painted. The students operated in teams of graphic design and promotional advertising, reception committee, initial contact location committee, and secretary-treasurer-documentarian. The exhibit featured an installation titled “Roadtrip” by Dallas Oliver and a large scale 15-image sequence on aging by Scott Howard that included special permission shots from within a local hospital.
The Spring 2004 Advanced Digital Exhibit, titled “Southern Exposures” featured fifteen students. The show was held in the Statesboro Mall in an vacant store that had previously been a clothing store. Students worked to make the clothing nooks and wall spaces accommodate their entire final portfolios. There were a total of 225 images presented. Students took turns manning the show. I did a Digital Question-and-Answer Session with live demonstrations on the last day of the exhibit.
Photography – introduced students to basic black and white photographic processes such as metering, film development, printing with filters, dodging and burning, hyperfocal focusing, as well as experimental processes including toning and handcoloring. In the advanced photography classes, covered more in-depth technical, theoritical and historical issues such as cynatypes, polaroid transfers, and color printing. All projects were preceded with lecture/slide discussions of photographers whose style and working methods were appropriate for the upcoming assignment. Projects concluded with formal critiques and culminated in a final portfolio presentation by each student.
Computer Graphics – introduced students to the following software programs: Illustrator, FreeHand, Photoshop and QuarkXPress. Proceedure for each program: demonstrations of program basics to students, students complete assigned excercises, quizzes over information covered, major project assigned, followed by a formal critique. Classes culminated in final portfolio presentations.
Package Design – introduced students to the various aspects of package design. Class concentrated on: corporate identity, collateral (reports, flyers, brochures for the corporate image, three-dimensional packaging, environmental graphic presentation ideas, and promotion graphics (calendars, posters, high-end invitations for the corporation). Creative solutions to a diverse range of package design problems was a primary goal, along with the study of practical and technical demands specific to three-dimensional design. Students had real-world clients: Georgia Southern Botanical Gardens (calendar production), Computer South (full corporate identity package including signage, slogan, logo, letterhead and three-dimensional package for newly developed software). The Spring 2004 class included packaging designs for: cookies tasted but not seen, a deck of cards for college students, a dual-function birdseed/birdhouse design and culminated in a package yourself assignment.
2-D Design – introduced students to two-dimensional design concepts through gallery visits, guest speaker from advertising background, instructor demonstrations and slides on “focus artists” which had been selected to help illustrate the individual concept for the lesson at hand, individual projects included working with mixed-media, compositon vs. random placement of the object, color theory, simulated and real texture, pen and ink line-work and creative uses of typography. All projects were followed by group critiques. The 2-D Design semester culminated in final portfolio presentations where the student was required to edit and organize their portfolio for a presentation grade and then verbally present the collective body of work to the group.
Art In Life - art appreciation course focused on slide presentations covering various artists, their working techniques, gallery visits were arranged, held verbal student group critiques on site and had written critiques based on the Feldman method after each gallery visit, student presentations were made on individual artists and students completed hands-on artwork assignments to provide a well-rounded art experience.

Art Education – students were instructed in basic lesson planning and writing to include appropriate Quality Core Curriculum Objectives using historical references, aesthetics, and various critique formats as well as art production for use as samples for the units that the students created for use in student teaching. Lectures included topics such as educational theory, the history of teaching, and instructor-modeled behavior management within the classroom setting. Supervised student teaching at regional elementary, middle, and high schools.
Senior Exhibition Class – class covered: how to choose your theme and title, planning a calendar up to your exhibit, scaled plan of exhibit, how to hang a show, resume, reference list, brochure, business cards, price list, artist statement, understanding gallery rules and legalities, press releases and their timing, planning the reception, exhibit follow-up duties and obligations.
