Title: "How Can You Get A Job With That?": Practical Skills for Undergraduate Studio Art StudentsPresenter: Lorelei d'AndrioleFormat: Welcome To My ClassroomDescription:In every one of my studio classes, I ask my students the following questions: “What is a CV?” “What is an artist residency?” “What is an abstract?” Consistently, whether my undergraduate students are graduating seniors or first semester freshman, my students have no idea what I am talking about. I believe it is our duty as art professors to share practical skills that artists need to earn their livelihood. I teach my students like I want them to hire me for a project one day and this has resulted in my students’ winning awards at the University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum, and my student’s acceptance to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. All I have done as a mentor to these students is spend a couple class sessions sharing resources with them and looking at applications for arts funding. My argument is that this is ultimately more beneficial for our students than teaching them studio techniques. There are limitless resources available for free online on how to mix oil paint or make a plaster mold but what students need is experienced faculty to critique their work on a conceptual level and to share knowledge and skills that are not a few keystrokes away on YouTube. My workshop will demonstrate unique challenges to the creative classroom and share assignments that I give my students to contribute to long term success that I have learned in my career and as a visual arts fellow at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art.

Abstract:
How can we support student success by removing the barrier of grading? What impact would this have on feedback and iteration? Members from Team MAET (Master of Arts in Educational Technology) will share how they worked through these questions and others to move the majority of program courses to an ungrading philosophy as an act of social justice. In this session, you will learn from the triumphs, challenges, and solutions from their journey.Session resources:Google Slidedeck (website)
