D R A W / R e - D R A W
------------------------
AN EXPERIMENTAL DRAWING WORKSHOP AND DISCUSSION SERIES, IN TWO PARTS

Part One, "DRAW," consists of a series of two seminar-workshop sessions
and will have a short discussion followed by a drawing studio. All of the
materials will be supplied for the events, and each event will last
approximately two to three hours.

Part Two, "Re-DRAW," will be held in the Spring. Participants will use the
results of “DRAW,” as raw material for making a new work. A materials
budget will be provided. The resulting artifacts of both parts will be
exhibited in a gallery show.

DAVID SHIELDS - “Writing as Drawing/Drawing as Writing”
- - - - - - -
Thursday, November 3, 6:30pm;

A short discussion will focus on the acts of drawing and writing found in
Shaker Gift drawings from the 19th century, Street Graffiti from the late
20th century, as well as established artists including Cy Twombly and
Anselm Kiefer etc. The workshop will involve viewing the physical act of
writing, pen to paper, as an act of drawing. Starting with a small series
of penmanship studies, participants will examine the use of writing
components as recombinant abstract mark making elements.

Part One: First Three Weeks of November, 2005

Draw/Re-Draw will be an experiment in two parts. Part one, "Draw," will consist of a series of seminars/ workshops, revolving around the activity of drawing, viewed from the perspective of varying disciplines. Each seminar/workshop will have a short discussion component followed by a "making" component, and will be lead by a differnt professot. Part two of the event, "Re-draw," will consist of small interdisciplinary teams who will use the results of part one ("Draw") as raw material for making a new work (for example, a team might take the figure drawings from a workshop to use as generative material to make an animated film). The results will then be exhibited in a gallery show which will document the workshops as well as the final artifacts.

Architecture Lecture: Mary McLeod, Professor, Columbia University, New York, NY (GOL 3.120, 5:00pm)
Lecture Title: Le Corbusier, Domestic Reform, and the New Women
Description: This talk explores the relationship between Le Corbusier's architecture and the emergence of the New Woman in France after World War I, examining how changing gender identities and social conditions (such as women working and the so-called servant crisis) affected Le Corbusier's vision of domestic living in the 1920s. It addresses the influence of Charlotte Perriand on the atelier's designs, as well as the role of an emerging domestic reform movement in Germany and France (especially the writings of Paulette Bernège) on Le Corbusier's view of modern living. One theme that will be considered is the new importance that the kitchen gained in his work in the late 1920s. The Salon d'Automne apartment of 1929 will be discussed as a pivotal project.
Biography: Mary McLeod is a professor of architecture at Columbia University, where she teaches architecture history and theory, and occasionally studio. She has also taught at Harvard University, University of Kentucky, University of Miami, and the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies. She received her B.A., M.Arch., and Ph.D. from Princeton University. Her research and publications have focused on the history of the modern movement and on contemporary architecture theory, examining issues concerning the connections between architecture and ideology. She is co-editor of Architecture, Criticism, Ideology and Architecture Reproduction, and is the editor of and contributor to the book Charlotte Perriand: An Art of Living (Abrams, 2003). Her articles have appeared in Assemblage, Oppositions, Art Journal, AA Files, JSAH, Casabella, and Lotus as well as other journals and anthologies, such as The Sex of Architecture, Architecture in Fashion, Architecture of the Everyday, Architecture and Feminism, The Pragmatist Imagination, and The State of Architecture.

To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to offer and opportunity to one of your students in the Fine Arts department. I'm with Train 4 The Game, Inc. and we are a performance training facility in here in Austin. We train athletes from professionals to the high school level. We are looking for someone to design a new company logo for us. I think it would be a great learning experience for some of your students and we will offer some compensation for the effort. I would greatly appreciate it if you would offer this opportunity to your students.
Thank You for your help,
