The Art Institute of Colorado Tackles Higher Education Affordability with the Art Grant Program

Denver, CO, March 6, 2015 – The Art Institute of Colorado announced a new and innovative program to help reduce students’ debt, encourage smart borrowing, and improve the affordability of higher education. The Art Grant gives students the opportunity to earn and apply grant money toward their tuition - rewarding them for successfully completing course credits and progressing toward graduation.

School invests in students to help them complete their education and move into

creative careers. Through the program, which launched February 2, 2015, students at The Art Institute of Colorado are eligible to earn grant funding for every 12 course credits earned while maintaining continuous enrollment status and working toward a bachelor or associate degree. Diploma programs are not included in this program. An eligible associate degree student may earn up to 15 percent of their tuition in grant funding over the course of their studies and an eligible bachelor degree student may earn up to 20 percent of their tuition in grant funding over the course of their studies at The Art Institute of Colorado. Students must meet all conditions to qualify. Your actual total grant award may vary by program, degree, amount of credits to be completed in a program after the effective date of Art Grant availability, violations of school policies, or breaks in enrollment. Your total tuition charges may be impacted by course drops, course withdrawals, or failing grades. Check with the school for exceptions and details. Students must read and sign a Memorandum of Understanding regarding The Art Grant, which sets forth eligibility requirements and other conditions, before any grant is awarded.

the fashion world was for me.]" Diana is inspired by fashion, music, art, society, people, and literature. She enjoys the freedom and ability to be creative every day. "[It's] never the same thing twice watching my models achieve their dreams." Diana says that her education taught her discipline and commitment to a goal. She recommends that current students stay strong and work hard. Diana explains that her business is a lifestyle. "If you want a career that defines you that you will love every day, go into fashion and never take no for an answer."

Eric Lind Form and function. For some, it’s a lifestyle. Eric L. Lind, a 2006 Bachelor of Arts, Interior Design graduate, has been inspired by design since he was old enough to stack blocks. By the time he moved on to Legos, he admits that architecture had become an obsession. Today, he’s merged his passion for architecture and design into a career as an acclaimed interior designer. Based in Denver, his work extends across the country he’s responsible for the award winning San Jose International Airport terminal renovation. “[The airport] has received numerous awards and is quite a progressive design which integrates modern technology while focusing on an unrivaled passenger experience.” Eric began his career at Fentress Architects in 2005, rejoining the company in summer 2014 after nearly two years at global design firm Gensler. He specializes in transportation, public, hospitality, civic, government, and corporate design. Eric says that his education provided strong career preparation, supported by a creative community of students and instructors. “The collaborative nature of studio classes created a healthy competitive environment not unlike the workplace.”

“Designers support habits and encourage the development of new

ones through creative design solutions,”

Eric is energized by the opportunity to impact lives by shaping experiences within a space. He believes that his success is built upon hard work, wearing his passion on his sleeve, and never accepting the first solution as the right one.

Microsoft Creatives

In February 2015 Microsoft contacted The Art Institute of Colorado about participating in their Future Creative’s project a carefully art directed

collaboration with students from multiple global creative institutions. The project builds on the successes of the Future Creative’s projects in Bournemouth, London, New York, Lahti, Beijing, Cape Town, San Diego and most recently The Art Institute of Colorado. One of the goals of the project is to provide images that are as appealing to as many different people as possible across the globe. Students are invited to create imagery that is relevant to each location using the Lumia 1020 phone. A team from Microsoft London invited the students and graduates of The Art Institute of Colorado to provide images using the area’s natural and urban landscapes of the Lumia. Of the twenty-one students who participated in the event, Microsoft chose to purchase several images of six students from The Art Institute of Colorado for use in upcoming Microsoft marketing, advertising and social media channels.

Special People Special Needs

The “Special People Special Needs Foundation” brand launch event was on March 7, 2015 at Wings Over the Rockies. Students from Ellen Long’s Design Team class worked on Special People Special Needs Foundation branding and web site design. Special People Special Needs Foundation is a new non-profit foundation for people with special needs, both intellectual and physical disabilities not only in Colorado, also but around the

globe. It is one of the only foundation that focuses on all disabilities and special needs. Initial funding for the foundation was generously provided by Bill & Roxy Doogan and family of Colorado. Source: https://ww.spsnfoundation.org/

SPECTRUM

Spectrum is a student created event to highlight their creative skills in the classroom. It is an experiential educational opportunity for our students to take a leadership role and put on an event for 200 people. This

builds their employable skills and creates a fun event for our students. The students take leadership in their respective areas: Design, Media Arts, Fashion, and Culinary. For example, one of our Bachelor of Arts in Design Management students is the chair of the committee. By facilitating this event she now has additional leadership skills that she could not learn in the classroom. The event takes all quarter to plan. Students learned about different aspects of event management, leading teams, and working with members of the community. The students created everything from the logo to the actual events at the show. SPECTRUM was held Thursday, December 14, 2014 in the City Hall building. In addition to all of the great student produced events (fashion show, live music, comedy, and graduate reels), this was a fantastic opportunity for SPECTRUM attendees to interact with industry professionals and visionaries in film, engineering, design and fashion during a Q&A session with the three special guests listed below: Omar-Pierre Soubra: Ted Talk

a classmate and friend of mine I was starting a book-making class and she said, “Oh yeah, hopefully you’ll get Ed, he makes it interesting.” Processing this I’d wondered if I’d ever had him as an instructor before, so, being the minor sartorialist that I am, I asked what he looked like. “Geek chic,” she responded. Ah, I did know the man. The only instructor I knew who could seamlessly blend utilitarian hiking boots, thick framed architect’s glasses, puffer vests and flannel (attitude is key, kids) always looking passably urban but with an impromptu hike never far from the mind. But when I was recently told someone from The Art Institute of Colorado was trying to create a “Center for Philanthropic Design” I had a pretty good idea who it was. Previously (probably after much prying on my part) Ed had told me about some of his volunteer workshops, but I remember what had stood out for me most was his enthusiasm, which, while kept stoically reserved for his part, was clearly palpable, that and his BS meter. If he’d taught you for more than a minute, he probably already had a pretty good idea of your potential and wasn’t going to let you get away with that hastily

baked deliverable. But more than anything he taught me that some of the greatest joys in life come out of sharing everything you know. Because in spite of those hiking boots he’d rather be sitting there with you, in his office, after hours, providing clarity. We all wish Ed safe travels and fruitful conquests on his sabbatical.

Josh Nathan

Josh Nathan is celebrating eight years as a Critical Thinking and Speech instructor at The Art Institute of Colorado. Nathan’s most recent work includes research on anticipated fears. He wove his findings into a children’s book titled “Too Mad to Trust” which is designed to prevent

veritable Speech-Language disorders and lengthen attention spans – a theme receiving attention at the National Education Association. He teamed up with Linda Nathan, his mother and 25+ year veteran of Colorado’s public school system, and Robin Mosler an Associate of Applied Science Web Site Administration alumni from 2001 from The Art Institute of Colorado who illustrated the book, to complete the study. Working to reduce anticipated fears in kids, Josh Nathan wrote this book by tapping into theories related to interpersonal deception, nonverbal communication, and anticipated emotion. Graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, he received a Colorado

Broadcaster's Association Award in 2001 for his weather program featuring children who each presented a portion of an on-air forecast.

Dr. Julianne Attmann and Jeannie Schuberth

Dr. Julianne Attmann, Fashion Director, and Jeannie Schuberth, Fashion Design instructor at The Art Institute of Colorado, had their abstracts accepted for the 2015 ITAA (International Textile and Apparel Association) Conference. ITAA is an important professional organization for research and education in the fashion field. Their abstract, BAM! SPLAT! ZING! Fashion Design Students Empower Critically Ill Children by Arming Them with Superhero Capes, was evaluated and

accepted for the 2015 ITAA Annual Conference to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, November 9-13, 2015.

The abstract outlines a course project that charged students with designing superhero capes for critically ill children, in partnership with There With Care, a national non-profit organization that provides emotional, psychological and practical support services for families with children facing critical illness. The project required that students understand and engage in the entire design process, including research, concept development, patternmaking, prototype development, and production after evaluation and approval from the client.

design education. If The Art Institute of Colorado can stay current in industry trends, then we will embody the creative and innovative value integral to our Mission Statement. During my sabbatical, I visited several institutions with established 3D print labs to explore best practices. I built a support network and brought solutions back to our school. I also created several original pieces of art, by scanning, sculpting and printing specimens from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

As a direct result of my sabbatical, I am now collaborating with the Photography Department to build an inexpensive 3D scanning rig composed primarily of digital cameras. The history of 3D printing is a short one, only dating back to the 1980’s with the invention of the first Stereolithographic Apparatus (SLA) machine in 1983 by Charles Hull. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is another common 3D printing technology invented in the 1990’s. The Art Institute of Colorado purchased its first FDM machine in the early 2000’s for the Industrial Design Department’s rapid-prototyping classes. In 2014, due to technical issues, this machine is no longer in use. In 2015, Media Arts and Design & Technical Graphics Departments have installed two of the latest MakerBot desktop 3D printers in the Printer Service Bureau, which now serves a wider range of students, faculty and staff.

Ellen Long

I wanted to create a class that encouraged students to “Think like a Roman.” This concept alluded to the Roman practice of gleaning ideas from all of the people that they conquered. Then, those ideas were acted upon to develop new concepts or even fusions, using what the Romans had already conceptualized along with these new thoughts. An example is the idea of the arch, from the Etruscans, became the dome, followed by the rounded vault, and the vaulted roof. This process, though, was used in areas besides architecture. It is the application of this way of thinking for students, as experienced through ancient Rome, that might allow them to grasp the benefit of the study of other cultures to multiply their ideas and expand their

creativity leading to stronger, more inventive portfolios. PONTE - A bridge of discovery between history and design Ellen Long, instructor of Graphic Design and Design Management, has taught at The Art Institute of Colorado for over thirty-seven years. She has been a contributing designer to the

graphic standards for Frontier Airlines, the corporate identity for Orange Julius, annual report design for Daniel’s Cablevision, monthly collateral for HBO, and dozens of advertising campaigns, brochures, and magazines. A graduate of The Art Institute of Colorado in Advertising Design, her other degrees include a BFA in Visual Communications and a MPS in Applied Communication with a focus on Marketing and Corporate Training from the University of Denver.

Lisa DiMichelle

Lisa DiMichele has been teaching at The Art Institute of Colorado since 2000 where she teaches

screen-printing, digital color theory, design and drawing. She was granted a sabbatical during fall 2014 to create new work for

an exhibition in the school’s gallery. In addition, Lisa updated her skills to incorporate new techniques into the screen-printing course. During her sabbatical Lisa created fourteen images, which were printed on paper. All of the prints were multi color, ranging from two to four colors including metallic ink.

The title of the exhibition was

Perspective: An Exploration of Scale.

Lisa became interested in images that cannot be seen by the human

eye or need a special device in which to view them. The original images were created by the use of aerial photography, Scanning Electron Microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope and Light Micrograph, which Lisa manipulated using Photoshop. As part of the theme, the aerial perspectives were printed small in scale, and the microscopic images large in scale. Also during this time Lisa worked with Dr. Donald Dexter and his video students to make the documentary titled Screen Passion. The short film explains the process of screen-printing and showcases Lisa’s artwork. Most of the scenes were shot on campus and Washington Park. The film was submitted for a Telly Award and included as part of the exhibition in the John Jellico Gallery. The work was on display April 27 through July 24 and an opening reception was held on April 29. Lisa presented her sabbatical work to the staff and faculty, which created interest and awareness of the screen-printing process. A workshop was offered for the staff and faculty during the summer quarter. Source: Lisa DiMichele, Faculty
