Department Standards and Expectations
Collaboration:
The virtual workshop series called: “Thinking with the Languages of Drawing and Place as Neuroaesthetics” and integrated local native land acknowledgement with multilingual decolonizing education. Collaborative Narrative. This is a hands-on-line conversation between the CSU Fresno Kremen School of Education and the Department of Art, Design, and Art History.
Dr. Dominguez and I spoke about an idea for a collaboration of discussion and workshop that would allow her graduate students and my art students be participants in the benefits of what happens to the brain when it experiences art. We agreed that we wanted to students to participate in this event as an experience. Dr Dominguez works with the early childhood development graduate students of Kremen and she asked if I would be willing to participate with her and her students.
Dr. Dominguez wanted to supply students with the art supplies: The Kremen and the ART 102, Therefore we invited students to pick up a free sketchpad and drawing pencil paid for by the grant before the event. My students attended physically and Dr. Dominguez and her teacher credential students in LEE 169s research class on Inquiry Puzzles Of Practice and my ART 102 students of "Ideas of Visual Culture: Art, Media and the Computer." I purchased additional art supplies for my Art 102 students.
The Fresno State South Valley Campus in Visalia collaborated with us to allow professor Nakagawa Boley to present virtually from one of their studio spaces. One of my LEE 190 independent study students, Aleah Porter and one of my LEE 169 students, Destiny Lee collaborated to co-host this event by taking care of the chat, muting folks, and holding the digital space for us presenters.
Dr. Domingues explains "I received a $2500 IRA grant through CSU Fresno in the Fall 2024. I used the funds to collaborate with and compensate Jamie Nakagawa Boley, a land based and mixed race Choctaw and Japanese professor of art to present with me for my two multiple subject credential student action research courses. The speaker series event was hosted by the Fresno State REMEDIO project which is housed in the Huggins CDC. REMEDIO is Remida-inspired and is a project that emerged from the Reggio Emilia municipal schools of Italy in 1997. There are 17 certified centers worldwide. This new Fresno State based REMIDA inspired project will source discard materials from local businesses which might otherwise be thrown in the landfill. The underlying aims of a Remida Center are to foster ethical behavior that opposes the throwaway culture and to give value to the reuse of discarded materials, differentiated waste collection and recycling. The REMEDIO project is also inspired by the Inventing Remida Portland Project at Portland State University, which I coordinated for 4 years as a graduate student. Students and community attendees were invited to email if they are interested in creative reuse and early childhood education and in serving on the newly forming REMEDIO advisory committee."
