Welcome Christa Carleton, Visiting Artist Printmak

Welcome Christa Carleton, Visiting Artist Printmaking April 25-28. She has her BA and MA in Printmaking
and has been creating prints for over a decade. Christa works regularly in screenprint and woodcut, but
letterpress is where her loyalties lie. “The artwork I make communicates messages of unrest, anxiety,
and frustration as a woman. I relay these themes by using my unshakeable urge to be vulnerable.
Through this urge I source my private memories, experiences, mantras, unspoken thoughts, and weak
moments to bring fellowship and rapport with my viewer. I am driven to create work that focuses
thematically on the agency of women because we live in a society where a woman's voice is still
marginalized and mocked.” #svma #mediaart #studioart #artstudentssavetheworld #emergingartist #emergeingartistinmontana

“In Quotes” is an assignment where the students were asked to use studio and location lighting techniques
to generate photographs that ‘quote’ from original portrait and vanitas paintings. These artworks are
from Photo 2, ARTZ 384. Nice work! Looks great! #svma #mediaart #studioart #photography #studentphotography #emergingartist #portrairphotography

Students in the @umjschool and @umt_svma begin the

Students in the @umjschool and @umt_svma begin the semester by pitching their best ideas
for a documentary film. This year students pitched a range of film ideas from dog sled racing,
skate parks around Montana, to the effects of transracial adoption. Once the class decides what
they'll do, everyone works on pre-production research, location scouting and a production plan.
They work closely with professors to learn about filmmaking ethics, project management, and
shooting and editing techniques. The students pictured are using university-provided video and
audio equipment in preparation for their first location shoot in Colstrip.
In a few short months the students go from a pitch to a finished film. Follow along as we take
you through their process of creating a finished documentary! #svma #mediaart #studioart #artstudentssavetheworld #emergingartist #emergeingartistinmontana

Here are some students work from MART 330 Principles of Sound Design taught by Jesse
Blumenthal. The course is an introduction to fundamental concepts, principles and practices of
digital sound recording and editing in order to establish a common aesthetic and technical
language necessary to develop quality audio design – Woo! Cool!
Here the students are exploring electrical and sound in physical space. This project involved
wiring an amplifier module to a speaker and sound source. The resulting system then needed to
be included in a sculpture that complimented the audio selection made by the student.
Students were encouraged to explore a variety of materials to begin understanding their
resonant qualities. #svma #mediaart #studioart #emergingartist #principlesofsounddesign #soundart #makeitloud
