Placed-Based Making: IEFA and the Tactile Arts Origins, Function, Form & Contemporary Art
This blended learning course (two face-face sessions plus online Moodle course) covers select tribal nations and their contemporary and historic relationship to place based materials, functionality, and aesthetics in visual art. Examples of artists and art from the 13 tribal nations existing within Montana’s borders are addressed. This course surveys the relationship between form and function in historical art and how contemporary American Indian Artists use or reference the phenomenon of place-based making and contemporary views of so-called ‘native art’.
Dates for In-person sessions at Big Sky High School in Missoula, Montana To Be Determined
Time: 12:00- 4:00 p.m.
Who should attend: Secondary teachers and elementary teachers with or without an art background are welcome to join this dynamic class.
The instructor will interact physically and via email and video chat to discuss methods and the class as a whole. This is a blended face to face and online course. Participants will meet twice face to face. The first meeting will focus on instruction and creation, followed by an online component. The second meeting participants will continue making in addition to sharing with their peers units they developed and artists they have researched during the online portion of the course. (See our website for specifics. mtplc.org)
Note: The student is responsible for emailing the instructor with questions and when assignments are posted in each Module to ensure a prompt response.
This course is the equivalent to 45 classroom hours (45 OPI professional development units), which is the equivalent of 3 university credits. This is a self-paced course, but do not expect to complete it in one sitting! Course participants must be comfortable working independently and be self-motivated to complete all work within the flexible time frame. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T REGISTER FOR MORE THAN TWO COURSES AT ONE TIME.
