movie premier and farewell

Tuesday's movie premier was an absolute success!! We couldn't be more proud of the students who worked so hard this semester to creat such amazing videos! I think everyone had fun walking down their first red carpet with Dustin as the paparazzi. And I can't wait to say "We knew them when..." when our students shine in the future. Photos and videos will be posted soon...
Thursday was a bittersweet farewell. Enjoy your ArtSpace swag! You deserve it! We will miss all of you! Catch you later!

Moving right along with filming...

Filming is moving along (sometimes slowly) but moving none the less! Looking forward to seeing what our young film makers put together for our movie premier on May 5th. Students keep your heads up, I know stop motion filming can be tedious but you are gonna LOVE the result! See you Tuesday!

About out Instructors

Dustin M. Chaffin recently graduated Baylor University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and is now pursuing his MFA in Theatre and Integrated Digital Media at Arizona State University. He will be working with the Herberger School of Theatre and Film as well as the Arts, Media, and Engineering to develop a new and technologically savvy approach to live performance.

Shannon Stemm, a 5th generation native of Arizona, is an Art History graduate student at Arizona State University. In 2006, she graduated Cum Laude from ASU with a dual major of Art History and Art Education. Prior to accepting this position, she was the Youth and Family Programs Coordinator at Phoenix Art Museum. In her time at the Museum, she enjoyed planning and implementing monthly programs for young children and their parents and a separate program for teens. Through these programs Shannon strived to provide positive art experiences to youth through exposure to different types of art and the Museum itself. As an art historian, Shannon is interested in the experiences of Latina/o and Chicana/o artists who work and live within the United States. Her thesis will critically analyze San Antonio Chicano artist Vincent Valdez’ “Stations” (2002-2004). Through that series of 10 large-scale charcoal drawings that depict one night in the life of a boxer, she will pose new questions about the importance of boxing and religion in the Chicano community, issues of autobiography, and existing parallels with the Catholic Stations of the Cross.

About ArtSpace

Artspace is a 21st Century Community Learning Center which provides an interdisciplinary arts experience for children and youth through out the Phoenix area. Created by a partnership between the Herberger College of the Arts, the Arizona Department of Education, the Phoenix Office of Arts & Culture and the Arizona State Library System. Artspace's vision is to establish a new model of educational experience to ensure students are successful in school and can make a positive impact in the community. The purpose of this program is to develop the abilities of students to create, perform and respond to works of art.

ASU ArtSpace programming is transdisciplinary, encompassing multiple fine arts and design disciplines. Two Graduate Student instructors are assigned to each school. While multiple fine arts and design disciplines will be touched upon in ArtSpace, the strengths and disciplinary focus of each school's instructors will be focused upon, making each ASU ArtSpace site unique. In order to add continuity to the transdisciplinary programing, each school will be focused around the theme. OMS's theme is TIME.
