=Teacher's Lounge: "Art, Technology, and Education"= April 24, 2014

4:30pm-6:30pm Ryan Education Center, Studio C Free, 2 CPDUs

Have you been using technology in your classroom? When is technology vital to teaching and learning, and when does it get in the way? Have you thought about how technology contributes to learning in and through the arts? Join us for a provocative discussion and hands-on exploration of the role of technology in art and education.

This program kicks off with artist and Florida State University professor Rob Duarte who will join us via Google Hangout. Rob teaches digital media and fabrication at FSU. His work attempts to bring to the surface the hidden relationships between technology and culture. For more information see this link.

Carolina Kaufman, Joe Anderson, and Silvia Gonzalez will also lead discussions around different platforms for using art and technology in the classroom. Those who attend the workshop at the museum will have the opportunity to try these tools in our studio.

For those who are not able to attend in person, the Teachers’ Lounge will be recorded and broadcast live via Google Hangout. Please check back soon for a link to this Hangout.

 * [[image:Rob Duarte Profile.jpg caption="Rob Duarte" link="@http://robduarte.com/"]] || Rob Duarte's work takes place at the intersection of artistic production, pseudo-scientific research and lighthearted terrorism. Through subversive interventions, dark humor and imposed sensory overload, he attempts to bring to the surface the hidden relationships between technology and culture. His most recent body of work explores the distance between real tactile, sensory experience and the technologically mediated simulation. Other recent projects include several exhibitions centered around a machine that semi-automatically over-inflates balloons to bursting pressure, the evolution of a mechanism for inserting razor blades into apples, and the transposition of our techno-identities onto an underground neighborhood TV broadcast.

In 2012, Rob was nominated for the San Diego Art Prize and participated in the corresponding New Contemporaries V exhibition. His work has also been exhibited in venues as diverse as the Prospectives 09 International Digital Art Festival at the University of Nevada Reno, the New Children's Museum in San Diego, EFA Project Space in New York City and the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.

Rob has a BS in Business Information Systems with a minor in Computer & Information Science from the University of Massachusetts, a BFA in Sculpture from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego. At UCSD, Rob was a Ujima Scholar and a San Diego Fellow.

He received a BFA in Art Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2010. He teaches Applied Arts at Percy Julian Middle School in Oak Park, IL. His current projects range from process-based painting to HomeWork Editions; a project space that pairs emerging artists with educators to craft progressive curriculum.

In Joe's class, we will conduct choice-base art projects as a way to bring students together in a mutually supportive environment. To better assess each student's individual studio practice, we will use a Tumblr page, hashtags (#) and a Documentation Station to publish individualized portfolios. Paired with a commitment to the inquiry cycle, this method challenges students to identify significant advances in their own work, and take responsibility for making those breakthroughs significant to the world by publishing them in a deliberate way.
