Performance piece by Nicole Ichtertz from the Draw

Performance piece by Nicole Ichtertz from the Drawing 2 class this past spring semester. Nicole is punching holes in a piece of paper she has made a drawing on, then running it through a music box to create an artwork both visual and audio pleasing. Nice job Nicole! #svma #mediaart #studioart #missoulaartscene #UMKeepcreating #UMartstudents #performancedrawing #advanceddrawing #studentsdrawing #artmusicbox

Professor Jennifer Combe’s artwork is included in the forthcoming book, An Artist and a Mother. It can be ordered at Demeter Press online. Go Jennifer!!! “An Artist and a Mother is a book of visual artworks and essays that speak to the diverse ways artists balance creative life with the demands of mothering. It includes thirty seven essays describing the work of thirty-nine international artists and an art collective, as well as a resource guide with books, journals, magazines, organizations, and other resources. This book seeks to highlight the growing body of artist mothers who are making visually and conceptually interesting artwork not just despite their status as mothers, but often because of the inspiration and challenges that come with motherhood." #artistandmother #painting #artworkandessays #newbookaboutart #bookaboutartistandmothers #artistmentor

Hi guys! Did you know that one additional art history course could result in fulfilling your requirements for a minor? Did you know that you can accomplish this online, this summer?! Professor Jerod Peitsmeyer will be teaching the History of Photography during summer session 2, Jun 27, 2022 - Jul 29th.
This course is offered as a seminar-style class that will present a chance to learn about the beginnings of the medium and follow photography and all its permutations into the present. You will have a chance to write and respond to other students in a forum-style course that will allow for all participants to have a seat at the table of art history. We look forward to joining you on this journey. #art #summerschool #umart #historyofphotography @umartsandmedia @ummediaarts @jerodpeitsmeyet
