<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">During a half-century of mentoring students and creating art, Professor Marjorie Schick has
fostered a legion of teachers and artists and earned an international reputation as evidenced by
articles in numerous publications and artworks in collections of art museums around the world.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Her exhibition, “50 Years Innovating Art for the Body” features colorful body sculptures and
large-scaled sculptural jewelry. See it in Porter Hall’s University Gallery from April 11 through May 6,
2017. Professor Schick will hold a public lecture May 6, at 3:00-4:00, in Room 109 Grubbs Hall with a
reception to follow in the Harry Krug Gallery in Porter Hall from 4:00-5:30 pm. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Dr. James B. M. Schick, Professor in the History Department, PSU, author, and for more than
30 years, editor of Midwest Quarterly, and Marjorie, started teaching at PSU in 1967. Together,
their combined commitment to PSU is a remarkable 100 years. During that time, both achieved
University Professor level and national and international recognition.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Calling herself “quietly rebellious,” Schick’s body sculptures and large-scaled jewelry cross<br />
the boundaries separating jewelry, sculpture, and fashion. Her work came to the attention of an
international audience in the 80s with a series of painted dowels that explored not only color and
three-dimensional form but also the scale of the objects in relationship to the human body. She
has continued an experimental approach and in 2004 was one of 100 contemporary craft artists
interviewed for the Archives of American Art Oral History Program, Smithsonian Institution, as part
of the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project for Craft and Decorative Arts in America (find it
online). As part of the project, her papers have been requested for the Smithsonian’s Archives of
American Art. </span><br />

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">In an interview in 2016, Schick stated “My work not only brings the wearer and the viewer
to question what constitutes jewelry, but also how the wearer navigates life’s spaces and what
adornment truly means. I am encouraging a reconsideration of what materials are suitable for
jewelry as well. . . . In the past, of course, precious metals and stones were prevalent—though
societies have defined precious variously—but I use . . . materials that aren’t precious . . . paper,
wood, wire, canvas and paint.”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Schick received a B.S. in Art Education (with honors) from the University of Wisconsin and an
M.F.A. (with distinction) from Indiana University in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing. Her work
has since been added to museum collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London;
the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; the Museum
of Arts and Design, New York; the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; the Philadelphia
Museum of Art; the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; the Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum,
Athens; the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; and the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto,
Japan.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "ingra"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">She has presented lectures at numerous conferences, universities, and museums worldwide<br />
in places such as Helsinki, Finland; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and Perth, Australia. Other
locations include the Society of North American Goldsmiths Conferences in Toronto and Denver;
Seoul National University, South Korea; the University of the Arts, Tokyo, Japan, and the Yale
University Art Gallery, Connecticut. Schick was one of a handful of Americans who participated in
the cultural events that are required for the Olympics, in her case making jewelry in a workshop/
exhibition sponsored by the Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway, and making a BBC video
funded as part of the Summer Games in London. A lavishly illustrated examination of her work,
Sculpture to Wear: the Jewelry of Marjorie Schick was published in 2007 by Arnoldsche Art
Publishers of Stuttgart, Germany.</span><br />

On Tuesday, April 25th we will be hosting groups of students from all over the region. They will participate in workshops led by our students, to get some hands on experience with a new art technique, and to get a feel for the kind work we do here at the university. As with all of our High School Art Day events, we will also be holding an art competition for the students in attendance, judged by alumni of the program. This year's judges are Michael DeRosa and Janelle Null.<br />
<br />
We're looking forward to welcoming all of the students next week! Below are some pictures from last semester's High School Art Day workshops. Our undergraduate workshop leaders had a great time, and so did their students!<br />

Schick creates bold and colorful wearable art, and has taught in Pitt State's Department of Art for nearly 50 years. Lambert begins the interview, titled "Who's Afraid of Marjorie Schick?," by describing Schick's work:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"<span style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Gaudy. Oversized. Humorous. 'So American.' Marjorie Schick has been making louder work than anyone else in the field for the last 55 years. She also worked with performance as early as 1977, and tested the idea of integrating wearable elements into static, sculptural objects before everyone else, while also flirting with the vernacular of fashion. Today, she stands as a model of fearlessness for a younger generation of jewelers interested in the radical scale and colors of her work."</span></span></i><br />

“Driving through what remains of Cairo it appears to an outsider that most of the town, along with its historic buildings and extensive business district, was abandoned within the same year, as nearly all the structures are in the same state of decay. In actuality, many events and circumstances caused precipitous decline of Cairo. The town’s history includes booming success as a shipping town at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, elegant hotels and mansions, and an impressive business district. The more recent history is one of race riots, appalling violence, multiple lynchings, domination by white supremacist groups, and eventual boycotts of local businesses by African Americans. The 1920s city of over 15,000 people now is home to under 3,000 people, hundreds of strangely patched up, decaying buildings, and a handful of struggling businesses.</div>

The enameled bowls are a response to not only the reality of present day Cairo, but also to the images of it that were chosen by the photographer. The work seen together offers insight into the working processes of the artists and the choices made by different viewers. The photographer gathers and selects visual material; the metalsmith/enamellist edits the material again and transforms the flat images into three dimensions, but on a functional form that speaks to basic human requirements. The photographs, as both independent images and references for the bowls, are aesthetic explorations of Cairo but with an attempt to consider more deeply the complexity of human histories that form such places.”</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Structural Anatomy and Figure Drawing course (ART 433) is a required course for studio art majors at Pitt State. This class focuses on a</span><span style="background-color: white;">nalysis of the human figure with an emphasis on structural anatomy through drawing, and the study of the skeleton and muscle groups as they affect volume and outward appearance. At various points in the course, students draw from a model, skeleton, anatomical casts and memory.</span></span><br />

Slipcasting is a technique that allows sculptors and ceramicists to make multiple copies of the same object. As plaster mould is created, into which clay can be poured to create a cast of that mould. A few years ago, faculty member S. Portico Bowman attended a moldmaking and slipcasting workshop hosted by Bracker's ceramics and led by world renowned artist Andrew Martin. She is now bringing this technique to students in PSU ceramic classes, along with Professor Malcolm Kucharski, who has perfected our slip casting recipe. Below are images of undergraduate students Whitney Reeves and Redd Williams exploring the technique for Bowman's Sculptural Ceramics class.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Department of Art: What was your path to pursuing an art degree at Pitt State? What got you interested in art?</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Jacqueline Denton:</b> One of my earliest childhood memories are of me coloring at a desk with markers my mom had bought for me on my 4th birthday. A lot of my childhood memories are of making things, or having art class in school. My mom is an art teacher, as well as highly resourceful and creative, and always encouraged me to be creative, too. I also had a great art teacher in middle school, Mrs. Pate, who always encouraged me and my ability, and made me realize that I actually had one. Art is the only thing in my life that has ever felt natural for me. </span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">DA: Tell us about your work. What type of work do you most enjoy creating? How would you define your artistic style? </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>JD: </b>This is still hard for me to describe to people. I would say my work is bold, psychedelic, surreal, dark, and whimsical. My work primarily focuses on femininity, sexuality and identity. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">DA: What class at Pitt State has had the biggest affect on the way you approach your work? </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>JD:</b> I've loved all the classes I've taken with Emi. Her classes have allowed me ways to use and make work in a digital type of format, which is important to know. It also gives you another platform that you can display your art. I love the internet and connecting with other people through it through my artwork. It's something that's really essential to me. This semester I'm taking a GIF art class which I'm really excited about.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>JD: </b>I recently created some jewelry designs for one of my friends, Marina Fini, who lives in LA. She makes amazing jewelry pieces out of plexi. She wanted to do a Halloween collection and asked me if I wanted to design some of the shapes, so I said yes! I ended up drawing a few fun designs I thought would work with her plexi designs. She took my designs and made them a reality. It was really cool to see my work come to life in a more three-dimensional way, as well we something that was totally wearable. It was also cool to work with Marina. She is a huge inspiration to me. If anyone wants to see more of Marina's work you can check out her website: <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1407_com_zimbra_url" role="link" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1412_com_zimbra_url" role="link" style="cursor: pointer;"><a href="http://mariniafini.com/" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">mariniafini.com</a></span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>JD: </b>The internship program was a great experience for me. I can't thank Portico enough for encouraging me, pushing me, and believing in me and my art at a time when I really needed that. I sought out an internship on my own. I didn't want to do something here in town. I wanted to get out an experience something different. I did my internship over the summer in 2015 in Phoenix, AZ with artist Oliver Hibert. He had mentioned he was looking for an intern so we talked about it. We spent 2 weeks over the summer learning how to stretch canvases, how to transfer a drawing to a canvas for painting, and we did a run of around 200 three color silkscreen prints that we printed by hand as well as some other smaller printing projects. In December Oliver and I had a show together at Palabra Gallery in downtown Phoenix.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>JD: </b>It was very labor intensive, physically. Stretching a canvas is tough, making 200 silkscreen prints is tough and tedious. And, honestly the summer heat in Arizona. We were basically night owls for two weeks because the only time it was cool enough to work in the printing studio was after midnight. The most fun part was being able to have a show together at the end. It was something that really built up my confidence and experience that I will remember forever. </span></div>

GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) has become a ubiquitous element of our visual landscape.
Its history is tied to pre-digital looping animations, such as Eadweard
Muybridge’s zoopraxiscope photography of the late 19</span><sup>th</sup><span style="background-color: white;"> century. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">One such device for creating these pre-digital animations is the phenakistoscope, invented by Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau in 1832. Phenakistoscopes are small discs featuring short animations created from multiple still frames, alternating between equally spaced radial slits. The animation can be viewed by spinning the disc while facing a mirror and looking through the slits to see a moving image.</span></span><br />

The <i>Kansas People's History Project</i> includes the work of fourteen undergraduate students who were enrolled in Assistant Professor Emi Gennis' Hand Lettering for Illustration and Comics class during the fall semester. Their broadsides highlighting overlooked aspects of Kansas history were part of a larger, state-wide art project lead by artist David Loewenstein. The description of the project below is from the project website, <a href="http://kansaspeopleshistoryproject.com/">kansaspeopleshistoryproject.com</a>:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Associate Professor of Art Education Josie Mai has worked with the artist Dave Loewenstein on other community art projects and invited him to Pittsburg State University this fall to give a workshop related to the Kansas People's History Project. It was at this workshop that Gennis decided to get her class involved by assigning the broadsides as the final project for the course. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"It was the perfect opportunity to apply the skills combining lettering and imagery that they acquired during the course, in addition to emphasizing other skills, such as visual research, that are an important part of artistic growth," she said. Loewenstein returned to campus later in the semester to give an additional workshop to the class, and the students also attended a presentation from librarians at the Axe Library about the Kansas-related content of the library's Special Collections. </span><br />

<i style="font-size: 14.16px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As part of our new "Student Spotlight" series, the Pittsburg State University Department of Art blog will be periodically highlighting the work of one of our students. This week, we're featuring the work of Molly McVey, a senior 2D Studio Art major and Photography minor who comes to us from Overland Park, KS. As part of her educational program here at Pitt State, Molly participated in an internship at Kelly Jackson Photography. Recently, Molly's work was accepted into the exhibition for the annual PhotoSpiva competition at the Spiva Center for the Arts. </span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.16px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.16px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Molly McVey: </b>The reason that I choose Pittsburg State to study art is because I liked the size of the department and how small the classes are and that you really get to know your professors and other students.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.16px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.16px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What got me interested in art was being involved in 4-H when I was younger. Instead of showing cows, goats, or sheep, I entered into the art categories such as photography, painting, drawing, and ceramics. That is where my interests started with art and it grew from there. I took as many art classes as I could in high school and that is where I started to consider a career in art. My high school photography teacher and my drawing/painting teacher inspired me to pursue art in college, and I couldn’t be happier that I am studying it at Pitt.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.16px;"><b>MM:</b> </span><span style="font-size: 14.16px;">My photography recently has been in black and white. I have switched back and forth between color and black and white through the years, but I always seem to come back to black and white. I feel that it tells more of a story and there is more emotion within the photographs. I really enjoy combining and merging photos together to make something new. I will also place textures into my photos where they normally wouldn’t belong. I would define my artistic style to be somewhere between abstract and straight photography.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.16px;"><b>MM: </b></span><span style="font-size: 14.16px;">A project that I have recently completed that I am extremely proud of would be my final project for my Portrait Photography class that I took at the tech center this past fall. We were able to do any creative shot that we wanted and I decided to take cubism as my inspiration. I researched many different ways to create a cubist style in photography and I ended up putting my own spin on it. I used one image as my base and then built onto it with different images from different perspectives of the same person. This project has opened a whole new set of doors for me. I am planning on working with this style throughout this semester, and I can’t wait to see where it goes!</span></span></div>

The works installed from the gallery come from all areas of campus.

This exhibit showcases the wide-ranging hidden talents and creativity of our colleagues. This will be the first exhibition for many of the artists. Some of the pieces featured in the show include quilted works by administrative assistant Sally Nixon, photographs by Assistant Professor of Graphics and imaging Technologies Rion Huffman, painting by Professor and Chair of Communications and Interim Chair of Art Dr. Cynthia Allan, and 3D printed sculpture by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology Dr. David Miller. Some of the artists created their work in Porter Hall at a Faculty and Staff Art Making Night hosted by the Museum of Art. At this event, faculty and staff were invited to create collage works inspired by artist Cory Peeke, whose work was displayed in the University Gallery in the fall. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s6">The exhibit, which includes the work of several PSU art students and two recent alumni, features work in an array of 2D media. Frames and shadow boxes to display sketchbooks with the students' original doodles were created by </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">PSU Wood tech students from the saw club. Along with the student work and interactive desk piece, the exhibition presents information on the history and significance of automatism in art, including this curatorial statement:</span></span></div>

<span class="s6"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="s5" style="background-color: white;">
<span class="s6"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“In art, Automatism usually refers to the accessing of material from the subconscious or unconscious mind as part of a creative process- as seen in the surrealist movement.” </i></span></span></div>
<div class="s5" style="background-color: white;">
<span class="s6"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>– Tate, British Museum of Art.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="s5" style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s5" style="background-color: white;">
<span class="s6"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Practicing this in art is a challenge. To constrain your mind to letting go of rationality in the moment, while mechanically letting your hands create is a subconscious and/or unconscious process. When connecting this process in art of the surrealist movement, artists by extension were standing up against the “norm”. They challenged themselves, and others to explore curiosity and creativity in a more fluid approach. Research in neuroscience, psychology, and design has recently concluded that people who “doodle” are often better at grasping new concepts, and staying focused. Doodling engages “default” networks in the brain that would ordinarily go dormant without external stimuli. The artwork displayed in this exhibit did not start with a preconceived notion. The exhibited artists were asked to freely doodle in their sketch books, and to let go of artistic rationality in relations to automatism in art. The exhibited artists were then asked to create a final piece using their doodle or doodles as structural form within their own creative composition.</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">"Automatism in art is important," says Raio. "Once an individual understands automatism and how to utilize it, they don't need to find inspiration to start creating work. Doodling is doing." He adds that he looks forward to seeing what the students who participated in the show may create moving forward from this experience, now that automatism is in their "art tool box." In addition to inspiring more students to integrate automatism into their process, t</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">he success of the show has inspired others to make plans to organize and curate future student exhibitions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the spring of
2015, Associate Professor of Art History Li-Lin Tseng took a sabbatical leave, during
which time she took a three-week research trip to Asia. There she visited major
film archives and libraries in Taiwan and China, including the Chinese Taipei
Film Archive, the China Film Archive, the Shanghai Municipal Archive, and the
Shanghai Library. This research will contribute to her book project, titled <i>Shanghai Crossing: Early Chinese Filmmakers,
Film Stars, and Film Critics and Their Many Encounters with the West, 1896-1937</i>,
which focuses on intellectual and technical changes and exchanges among early
Chinese and European and American film professionals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As part of her trip, Professor Tseng was very
fortunate to have an opportunity to speak with other scholars in her field,
such as the film producer and scholar, <span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Liao Gene-fon, from the Department of Motion Pictures at the National
Taiwan University of Arts. </span>She was also able to arrange a visit with the
grandson of Zheng Zhengqiu, the father of Chinese cinema. Professor Tseng is
will soon publish an article examining Zheng’s cinematic art, so this visit
provided her with a unique opportunity to probe into the inside story of Zheng’s
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Beijing,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>Professor<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>Tseng also visited a number of
historical sites and art communities, including the Forbidden City, the Ming
Tomb, the Great Wall, and the 798 Art Zone. She is currently in the process of developing
a study abroad proposal in order to take PSU students to visit these sites as
well as other art communities in the near future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In March,
Professor Tseng was invited by the Confucius Institute at Savannah State
University to give a talk, titled “From Shanghai to Hollywood: The Chinese and
Chinese Cinema in America, 1896-1937, and After.” There she also I screened two
films, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Trip Through China</i> (1916)
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shadow Magic</i> (2001).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later that month she attended the 2015 Annual
Conference of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) in Chicago, IL, where she
presented a paper, <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“‘Arrested
Civilization’: John Thomson and His Travel Photography, 1873-1874,</span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">” for the panel “Seeing Qing China Differently.”

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also during her sabbatical
leave, Professor Tseng worked on several papers and proposals for conferences,
including a paper titled <tt>“</tt>Electrifying Illustrated News: Zheng
Zhengqiu (鄭正秋) and the Transformation of Graphic Arts
into Dramatic Cinema, 1910-1935,” which will appear in the peer-reviewed international
journal, <i>Twentieth-Century China</i>
(Maney Publishing) in 2016<i>.</i> She also
presented her a paper titled “From Shanghai to Hollywood: Chinese Cinema in
Transition, 1896-1937” at both the Mid Atlantic Region Association for Asian Studies
(MAR-AAS) Conference and the Midwest Conference of Asian Affairs (MCAA) this
year. Professor Tseng was able to take advantage of this opportunity for
sabbatical leave and produce a great deal of work. This work will both further
the conversation regarding this subject matter in her field, as well as inform
her teaching to students of art history. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
