Susan Meyer, M.F.A., specialist professor in the Department of Art & Design, presented at the Foundations in Art: Theory and Education (FATE) conference on April 15 in Denver, CO. The educational association, FATE, is “dedicated to the promotion of excellence in the development and teaching of college-level foundation courses in both studio and art history”. The conference, “Serious Play,” focused on “bridging the mischievous nature of creative exploration, (and) the measurable necessities of education”.
Meyer presented “Exploring Place Through Cell Phone Images” as part of the session “Smartphones and Tablets,” chaired by Professor Steven Bleicher, Coastal Carolina University. In her presentation, Meyer shared a collaborative photographic installation focused on the color spectrum created by her fall 2022 Basic Design & Composition students, along with photographic “found sculpture” images and short animations by the following Monmouth University students: Kayla Gillespie, Derek Amoah-Kusi, Leah Tatu, Abby McMichael, Halle Bascone, Lauren Cutrupi, Olive Fusco, Ava Allen, Matt Iarrapino, Guilia DeFabritus, Vanessa Wood, Tori Bertani, and Olivia Fanelli.
