Overview:
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed for undergraduate students who want to combine intensive and innovative studio art practice with an outstanding education in the liberal arts. A thorough grounding in art history and critical theory helps students explore issues in their own work and that of others. Studio courses in a wide variety of disciplines mix the rich visual traditions of the past with emerging forms and ideas. Interdisciplinary classes, which integrate modern and postmodern approaches with experimental artistic practices, encourage students to envision fresh new ways of making art.

Registration:
All "Intro" courses in the Steinhardt Art department are open on a first-come, first-served basis to all NYU students. No special forms or procedures are necessary. Some intermediate and advanced level studio courses may be available; this is noted on Albert and does not require any special form or procedure. Other courses may be available (on a space available basis) but would require special permission from one of the advisors listed above. Often, however, students have to wait until the beginning of the semester to see if there will be space available in these courses. Finally, there are some courses that are only open to art majors, regardless of space availability, including all "Fundamentals" courses.

Special Information:
In addition to all of the department's introductory studio classes, they are especially interested in promoting the following courses to Gallatin students:

E94.0010 Art: Practice and Ideas, 4 pts offered in spring semester
E94.0050 Modern Art and Contemporary Culture, 3 pts, offered in fall and spring semesters
E90.1022 Interdisciplinary Projects, 2-4 pts, several different topics are offered in both fall and spring semesters

Also note that, with very few exceptions, the department generally requires that students take an introductory course, regardless of their skill level, before moving on to more advanced courses. Also, though not required, it is helpful for students to have examples of their art work readily available on CD or DVD for help in placing them in intermediate and advanced courses.

For Fall 2009, the department would like to promote the following:

E90.0361.01 Call #43269 Intro to Photo II, Wednesday 12:30 - 3:50pm, 4 credits, open to all, (Expanded Narrative Projects, black and white, analog, and digital color class.)

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.

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). Students can register for 2 or 4 credits which correspond to half-hour and hour lessons respectively. These lessons carry an enrollment fee of $105.00.

Frank Lantz
Interim Director
NYU Game Center
frank.lantz@nyu.edu

Overview:
The NYU Game Center is a pioneering new University-wide academic initiative for the research, design, and development of digital games. Drawing on a faculty that teaches nearly 70 courses related to game design across NYU, the center would have as its long term goal graduate and undergraduate degrees. The Center will be a collaboration of faculty members in computer science, engineering, new media theory, and the arts.

The NYU Game Center has been initially funded with an anonymous gift of $ 1 million and a $200,000 grant from The Rockefeller Foundation’s NYC Cultural Innovation Fund, a new initiative that supports creative engagement with the issues shaping the City’s creative future. The Center’s initial home will be in the Skirball Center for New Media in the Tisch School of the Arts. An advisory committee made up of NYU faculty and staff is presently conducting a search for a director of the Center. A related effort, the Games for Learning Institute, was launched in October 2008 with $1.5 million in funding from Microsoft. The Institute will provide the fundamental scientific evidence to support the potential of games as learning tools for math and science subjects among middle-school students.

“Digital games are becoming more and more a part of our mainstream culture the world over,” said Mary Schmidt Campbell, dean of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. “Not only are they enormously popular, but the appeal of digital games cuts across all ages and gender. The Tisch School is proud to participate with Steinhardt, Courant, and NYU Poly in this important initiative to establish a multi-school center for game study and development. ”

David W. McLaughlin, provost of NYU, said “Modern video games are, at heart, cross-disciplinary creations that draw on talents from across a university community: mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, artists, dramatic writers. The mission of the NYU Game Center, to be sure, will be to produce the next generation of game designers, entrepreneurs, and researchers, and to advance the science, technology, and practice of gaming through research. Beyond that, we also look to this new center as a laboratory for innovation, intellectual risk-taking, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.”

The Center is a partnership between several NYU schools and affiliates: the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences; the Polytechnic Institute of NYU; the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development; and the Tisch School of the Arts. Beginning in spring 2009, the Center will offer a series of talks and panel discussions that will be open to the public and featuring leading game designers. In fall 2009, it will offer undergraduate courses to 10-12 students a year who may choose a minor, major or double major. Graduate courses are slated for fall 2010. Approximately six graduate students a year will be admitted to the two-year Master’s program or certificate program.

The NYU Game Center’s interim director is Frank Lantz, adjunct assistant professor in the Tisch School’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. “I am excited to be a part of this historic new initiative in gaming at New York University," he said. “The work going on across the University in this field has made NYU one of the most vibrant gaming institutions on the east coast.”

Lantz, a game designer who has worked in the field of game development for 20 years, is also creative director and co-founder of the game development firm area/code. He has taught game design at New York University, the School of Visual Arts, and the New School. His writings on games, technology and culture have appeared in a variety of publications.

Members of the advisory committee for the NYU Game Center are: Mary Schmidt Campbell, dean, Tisch School of the Arts; Sheril Antonio, associate arts professor, associate dean of Film, TV, and New Media, and interim chair, Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, Tisch School of the Arts; Bonita Engel, area manager for Skirball Center for New Media; Alexander R. Galloway: associate professor, Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development; Leslie Greengard, professor, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and director of Courant; Katherine Isbister, associate professor, Polytechnic Institute of NYU, with an affiliation at the ITU Copenhagen Center for Computer Games Research; Frank Lantz; Yann LeCun, professor, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences; Rosanne Limoncelli, director of production for Film& New Media, Kanbar Institute of Film & Television; Ken Perlin, professor, Media Research Laboratory, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and the Center for Advanced Technology; Ron Robin, professor and associate dean for Academic Affairs, The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, and Dan Shiffman, assistant arts professor, Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School.

FALL 2009
EDUCATION AND THE AMERICAN DREAM:
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION E55.0610 (CALL #: 43718) is cross-listed with E52.0552 (CALL # 43719)

M/W 12:30 to 1:45 pm

Professor Joan Malczewski, Instructor

Course Overview:

This course will examine the role of education in American society.
Specifically, the course will consider different conceptions of democracy, community, and the relationship between public schooling and the promotion of democratic ideals. Students will explore some of the central goals and purposes of American public education over the past two centuries, and the historiographical debates about those goals and purposes. In the second half of the course, students will explore the relationship between schooling and civic education, and between schooling and specific communities, in order to ask whether the goals of schooling might promote or contradict the goals of particular groups who seek to benefit from public education, and the ways in which education does or does not promote democratic ideals.

The objectives of the course are to:

* Consider theoretical conceptions of democracy and their relationship to education.
* Develop an understanding of educational history.
* Analyze the changing goals and purposes of American education, given its evolution in social and historical context.
* Explore the relationship between education and civic engagement.
* Gain a deeper knowledge of contemporary policy issues, examining the way in which debates have been shaped by historical context, and evolving conceptions of democracy and education.
