Overview:
The Department of Teaching and Learning has organized its courses, developed its programs, integrated university course work with school-based experiences, and designed research, demonstration, and training grants to achieve five goals:

-- to build a department that prepares educators, broadly defined, with a coherent vision of change and of their roles in achieving it;
-- to build an educational community with common themes and understandings that cross traditional conceptions of levels of study, faculty/student roles, academic areas of specialization, and cultures, while recognizing the particular requirements of diverse specializations;
-- to build programs that prepare educators with a solid grasp of the historical forces that have shaped schools, of the philosophical positions that shape ideologies, and of the complexities of learning and teaching in a multicultural, multiethnic world that is constantly subject to change from social, political, and technological forces;
to build a scholarly community rooted in reality and firmly committed to improving urban education; and
-- to build a relationship with our students, alumni, field-based professionals, and community that creates support groups and networks that will serve them as they meet the difficulties and challenges of teaching.

Registration Information:

Overview:
NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions was established in 1925. Today, 1,500 students majoring in renowned music and performing arts programs are guided by 300 faculty. Our degree programs—baccalaureate through doctorate—share the Steinhardt School’s spirit of openness and innovation that encourages the pursuit of high artistic and academic goals. This unique vision takes many forms. In 1968, the Department merged with the New York College of Music. Since that time, Steinhardt Music and Performing Arts Professions has functioned as NYU's "school" of music and developed into a major research and practice center in music technology, music business, music composition, film scoring, music performance practices, performing arts therapies, and the performing arts-in-education (music, dance, and drama). Our rich and varied expertise and interests bring performance majors and composers together with choreographers, directors, actors, dancers, educators, librettists, and filmmakers in collaborative projects often reviewed by the New York media. Faculty sit on leading journal editorial boards and publish some of the most significant performing arts research on the scene today. Coupled with leading faculty and advanced studios in music technology and a nationally recognized program in music business, our Department and the Steinhardt School offer an unparalleled environment for artistic, professional, and scholarly challenge and growth.

Registration Information:
Students may register for private lessons for non-majors with the department. These lessons can be found on Albert under Music and Music Professions (E85.XXXX).

The Department of Cinema Studies is one of the first university departments devoted to the history, theory, and aesthetics of film and the moving image. The approach to cinema is interdisciplinary and international in scope and is concerned with understanding films in terms of the material practices that produce them and within which they circulate. Film has been the primary object of study in the past; however, in recent years, the department has expanded to include other media that fall within the realm of sound/image studies (e.g., broadcast television, video art, and on-line technologies).

Special Information:
Approximately 3 undergraduate courses each semester are open on Albert to all students.
The majority of Cinema Studies classes open to outside students are restricted with access codes. Interested students should come to the department between 10 am - 4 pm to get an access code.

A list of courses available to non-majors in Spring 2010 is linked below.

H82.1030 Studio 4 Credits
H82.1030 sec 2 #71325 Wafaa Bilal Wednesday 9:30-1:15 721 Bway, 824
Prerequisite: Photography & Imaging: Analog and Digital.
This course will address the problematic historical and theoretical background of an image by re-contextualizing it and placing it in contemporary time. Students will explore performance, photography, theory and history by recreating and performing historical works of art. Re-contextualizing images enables us to revisit history and the original objective of the artist. This process allows us to measure the progress we have made politically and socially since that period. Students will also learn how to manage large-scale projects and gain experience creating sets, lighting, documenting through photo, video and other technical skills. Each student or group will propose and spearhead one project and the class as a whole will participate in the actualization of each project. At the end of the course, there will be a show or public presentation of student works. Film, writing and performance students are highly encouraged to take this class.

Community Collaborations: New York City Teens Speak Out
H82.1220 Studio 4 Credits
H82.1220 sec 1 # 71334 Lorie Novak Monday 6-8:30 721 Bway, 815
Offered Spring only. Prerequisite: Junior standing, working knowledge of photoshop, community-based art teaching experience, or permission of instructor.
Community Collaborations (aka CoCo) is a participatory photography project where NYU students teach digital photography to NYC public high school students and use the Web for exhibition, self-expression, and community building. In this Photography & Imaging and Art & Public Policy Course, the NYU students work in teams of two or three and co-facilitate workshops with small groups of teens that meet twice a week from 3:30-6:00 on either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Cameras and all supplies are provided and the workshops take place in Photography and Imaging’s digital labs. The teens are given digital cameras to photograph their families, friends, and communities to create photographic essays exploring their day-to-day lives, dreams, concerns, and social-political challenges. During the course time for NYU students, focus will be on workshop development, supervision, discussion of challenges and what it means to work in community engaged projects. There will also be guest speakers, visits to other community-based art programs, and assigned readings. Final projects will be published at the end of the semester on the Community Collaborations (CoCo) website, http://photoandimaging.net/coco. Please note that although this is a demanding course, it does not involve working on your own photographic projects. If you have any questions, please email lorie.novak@nyu.edu.

Community Collaborations started in 1996 in the Photography and Imaging Department. To see past work created in this course, visit http://www.photoandimaging.net/coco and see the CoCo books from 1996-2007 in the Photography and Imaging library. Also visit the course resource blog, http://photoandimagingcoco.blogspot.com, and the high school students blog, http://coconyu.blogspot.com. Community Collaborations is co-directed by Lorie Novak (founder) and Erika deVries. Funding is provided by the NYU Office of Civic Engagement and the Department of Photography & Imaging.

Advanced Documentary Strategies

H82.1216 sec 1 # 71333 Joe Rodriguez Wednesday 6-9:45 721 Bway, 815
Prerequisite: Photojournalism or Documentary Strategies, or permission by the department.
This course will explore conventional and alternative methods in documentary photography that have been used to explore a variety of subjects. Models such as the early Life magazine, the Farm Security Administration, collaborations between writers and photographers such as “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men” by Walker Evans and James Agee, the divergent coverage of the Vietnam War and the work by collectives will be among the many strategies discussed from a variety of cultures and political points of view. We will examine the variegated structure of the picture essay and contemplate the new potentials for it on a digital platform. While there will be readings assigned, the class concentrates on the student’s ability to conceptualize, carry out and produce one small and one large documentary project during the semester.

This course affords opportunities to learn how to teach in community-based arts settings. Class meetings will be devoted to expanding students' knowledge of teaching methods; exploring techniques and strategies for working with people in diverse situations; reading about and discussing selected collaborative and community projects; and brainstorming responses to challenges that arise at the internships. Emphasis is given to interdisciplinary tools-the combined use of photography, theatre, video, dance, and writing-although one form is usually prominent in any given situation. Guest lectures will be given by artists working with theater, photography, storytelling, and video.

In addition to a weekly class session, students participate once or twice a week in an arts-based internship with a community-based artist or organization. Internships are available in all disciplines with opportunities for students to lead their own groups or assist a practicing artist in the field. Sites include an after-school program for kids at a housing project, institutions that use the arts for healing, an arts for literacy project, programs dedicated to self- growth and community building, and local NYC public schools. A once a week internship for 10 weeks is required for 2 credits. To receive more than 2 credits, a more intensive internship must be arranged.

This course will count toward Elective credit for TSOA Students.
