Join Prof. Michael Connors and the virtual design team at UW-Madison on May 7 at 11 am to learn about work with Digital Printmaking students in Second Life. Prof. Connors notes, "My primary interest at this time is to explore the possibilities that online technology brings to the critique - a core element in the art curriculum. A virtual environment offers ways to visualize key concepts in the critique as well as provide a more extensive consideration of the students� sources for inspiration. Online simulations help reveal and analyze the decision making process used by students during the development of their ideas. A primary goal of the critique is to see one's own work objectively through the eyes of others. This goal is not exclusive to the arts, but has applications in most academic fields."

Event hosted by RuArt Semaphore and Magda Voss
