  • BIS 1550: Writing as Art

    3.00 Credits
    California Institute of Integral Studies

    Much contemporary teaching about writing focuses on the writing process as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth or on writing as a process of effective communication. We'll examine the relationship between word and image work in writing-and you will complete projectsthat allow you to develop writing as art objects and writing pieces that actively make use of aesthetic elements. Students develop and create various writing as art objects-such as postcards, visual/written maps, illustrated "books," and boxes built from text and image

    Philip Zaleski offers the view that valuable spiritual writing "addresses, in a manner both profound and beautiful, the workings of the soul."This statement defines what it means to write not only about important spiritual experience, but also about all subjects that deeply engage the soul-spiritual, psychological, historical, cultural, political, and/or autobiographical. In this class, students will have the opportunity to define the key components of writing from the soul and to develop passionate writing that has meaning for them and will artfully engage others.

  • CIA 7038: Interdisciplinary Pedagogy II

    3.00 Credits
    California Institute of Integral Studies

    Interdisciplinary Pedagogy will explore and define our philosophies of teaching and learning; i.e., how do we conceive of the learning environment, the teacher-student relationship, the aim of our education practices. We will look at a wide variety of teaching environments as they apply to different art forms as well as academic teaching. Students will learn how to design courses and workshops, write syllabi, and articulate their own pedagogy. Students will gain experience teaching, facilitating discussion, and evaluating themselves and their students-and develop, plan, and teach in an environment (from class classroom to community organization) that meets their career goals. As teachers, we will attempt to use ourselves as examples of different pedagogic methods and tools. We will interrogate our histories, our philosophical points of view, and our practices as part of the class.

  • CIA 7056: The Business of Art

    3.00 Credits
    California Institute of Integral Studies

    As artists, we need to bring as much heart and creativity to the business of survival as we do to our art itself. The class encourages students to think and identify as visionary entrepreneurs who are responsible for sourcing how to transform their "dream" into a reality. They will develop aplan of action and an overview for the next steps they need to take to make their vision into a lifework that supports them financially. They will also have the seed information needed to go on to create a more traditional business plan. Grounded in the vision plans, we will collectively develop boilerplate materials that can be used for fundraising, promotion, web design, etc. The Business of Art is designed to provide an environment in which each student is supported in looking both inward and outward, bringing together what may be disparate aspects of their creative life into a comprehensible whole, rooted in one's deepest values. Students will begin to envision the various possibilities of generating a livelihood that grows organically from one's heart intentions.
