Festivities kicked off in Arnold Hall with Gordon Tarpley, a Los Angeles-based designer, prop builder, and C-3PO cosplayer, joining Allison Steinweg, associate chair, liberal arts, on Friday afternoon for a Q&A session. Tarpley spoke well-nigh his multifaceted work, from building props for a Star Wars-themed episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to playing C3PO at Disney-sponsored events, and reflected on the galaxy-wide Star Wars fanbase he has encountered as a issue of playing C-3PO.

That fanbase was evident on Saturday, as Tarpley donned the C-3PO costume and meandered through the exhibitions in Arnold Hall with R2-D2 at his side. In ane exhibition, professor Samuel Gross displayed dozens of Star Wars neckties, which he showed off to the 2 droids. "These ties have become a bespeak of connection with students," said Gross. "Students who I've never met before will approach me to talk virtually a grapheme on my necktie."

Lauren Arnold (B.F.A., production design) echoed the sentiment: "I think anybody can observe something to connect with in the various characters." Arnold, who hopes to pursue costume blueprint, said that she particularly appreciated the work of beau product design student Journeying Olson (B.F.A., production design), whose costume designs were on brandish.

Levi's: riveting history

"This year is the 50th ceremony of Woodstock. Guess what Jimi Hendrix was wearing when he was playing 'The Star-Spangled Banner'? Yeah, bell-lesser jeans!"

The person asking the question knows her denim. Fitted in a clean tee with iconic red logo, white jean jacket and nighttime denim jeans, Tracey Panek, Levi Strauss & Co. official brand historian, appeared at the SCAD MOA theater during SCADstyle 2019.

Across locations in Savannah, Atlanta and Hong Kong, SCADstyle 2019's esteemed speakers included Ariel Foxman, Mary Katrantzou, Steve Madden, Phillip Picardi, and Emerge Singer. Panek's presentation, moderated past Mobolaji Dawodu, style director, GQStyle, focused on brand history and the customization of cool.

"I refer to Levi'southward as the 166-yr-old startup," Panek said. "It's San Francisco-born, a stone's throw from Silicon Valley. A starting time-upwardly, just with a longer history than the Lyfts of the world."

At Levi'southward, Panek manages the company'southward annal, facilitating piece of work requiring historical materials. Embroidered, sequined, patched, painted—Panek explained how the visitor embraces customization, to the bespeak that tailoring stations now feature inside Levi's stores.

The start-up'south story: Bavarian immigrant Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco in 1853 to sell working men's pants during the gold rush. "They weren't chosen blue jeans, they were called waist overalls. You'd pull them upwardly over your long underwear and get to work."

In 1872, Levi received a letter from a tailor in Reno named Jacob Davis with an unusual thought: add tiny copper rivets in the pockets. "When y'all do that," Panek said, "they won't tear and volition terminal longer. The patent for the rivet was granted on May 20, 1873, the day we refer to at the visitor every bit the nativity of bluish jeans."

Early customizations were applied: a hand-sewn tool pocket or a patch where a cowboy'south reins had worn a thigh thin. Panek showed an epitome of a pair of wizened 501s from 1917 worn past a difficult rock miner from Wickenburg, Arizona. Of a photo of WWII-era jean jacket, she observed: "That plaid lining was added for extra weight and warmth. What'due south unique about this ane—and a favorite of our designers—is the heart stitched onto the back. That's not about practicality, that's about manner."

History continued every bit customization exploded. "In 1967, a young woman named Melody Sabatasso came to San Francisco. When she was invited to a hymeneals all she had to habiliment were jeans, so she cut them up into a dress. She got such rave reviews on her outfit that Lauren Bacall deputed her to do a piece, which kickstarted her career. She notwithstanding creates pieces with Levi'due south today."

Panek stitched together surf culture, Hell'due south Angels' knife-cut vests, punk rock, bum flaps, Beavis and Butthead, military machine patches, Elton John, and a pair of bedazzled chaps in one case worn by N'Sync's Lance Bass. Then she took questions.

Linden Grace Colby (B.F.A., fashion) asked: "How do these historical pieces inspire futurity designs? How do you navigate the balance betwixt history and innovative design?"

"The main users of the collections are designers," Panek said. "They take annihilation from a button design to a pocket shape and employ it for inspiration for a new piece. We have a line chosen Levi's Vintage Wearable that reproduces pieces from the athenaeum then you lot can buy an 1890 pair of Levi's, or WWII-era jeans.

"Nosotros introduced an innovation a year ago for finishing jeans using lasers, the FLX process. Google came to us and we created a jacket with copper threads added to the sleeve and cuff that connect to your Bluetooth and mobile device. We mix heritage with innovation pretty well at Levi Strauss."

During her SCADstyle visit, Panek as well spent time at Pepe Hall visiting with 2 SCAD fibers classes, Senior Studio I (FIBR 440) taught by professor Jessica Smith, and Business Practices for Fibers (FIBR 337) taught by professor Katie Buchanan.

"Tracey was generous with students, insightful into the style enquiry and history play into contemporary pattern, specifically Levis Strauss," professor Smith said. "She spent an hour speaking with the students about her career, the role of a historian in a brand, and how the archives back up designers today. Information technology was a fun discussion with high student engagement."

Thank you to Tracey Panek, Mobolaji Dawodu, and all attendees of SCADstyle 2019.

Afterward three hundred-plus scintillating slides, among relentless positive verbosity, Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun's hour-long lecture at SCAD MOA ended with a neon project: BE CURIOUS AND AMBITIOUS AND NEVER Always Surrender. The students' ovation was a roar of joy.

"Modify takes fourth dimension. You want to get a pattern chore that allows you to piece of work long-term. Nurture your working relationships. Create trust."

A slide depicting Ben Hayoun in a hardhat at the Big Hadron Collider whizzed by. The free energy in the room was commensurate with the Large Bang. "Ninety-v pct of the universe is made of night energy," Dr. Ben Hayoun observed.

Amidst the seriousness of Ben Hayoun's projects, playfulness prevails. She described building an active volcano inside her London apartment, and baking and serving a gooey cake to NASA scientists while pitching them on her International Infinite Orchestra. "At that point they agreed."

Among the attendees in the auditorium were students from professor Michael Chaney'southward Experimental Movie and Installation class (Picture 365). The morning time following her SCADstyle talk, Ben Hayoun visited their classroom at Savannah Film Studios.

"This class is an constituent," explained Chaney. "These students take creative risks and want to larn more about creative risk-taking. They're introduced to different theories and philosophies including John Berger'due south 'Ways of Seeing' and Tom Gunning's 'Movie house of Attractions'. We put it into do, shooting films on our phones and screening them in different contexts. Nosotros phone call it contemplation in action."

Dressed in a Dreamland Battle shirt and the gold bondage of a champion, Dr. Ben Hayoun beamed. "Sounds similar a practiced time!" She asked the class: "What fabricated y'all want to study film?"

Cassie Lee (B.F.A., movie and television, 2019): "I come from a modest town and documentaries were the way I learned most different perspectives in the world I'd never been exposed to. I'chiliad interested in history and sociology. Films tin can manipulate and inform people's perspectives. Studying film helps me grow as a person."

The chat was free-flowing, with students suggesting ideas including projecting experimental films around The Hive to attract passersby. Dr. Ben Hayoun gave practical advice.

"Funding your film involves piece of work. To write a grant application takes time. People who are awarded grants are methodical people. Look at the objectives and goals of the grants, what the committee are trying to achieve. Accept their stated objective and write how you are going to accomplish exactly that. Read the guidelines and follow them. You lot have to practise it."

Student Lizzy Bamford (B.F.A., film and television) edged forward. Inspired by Dr. Ben Hayoun'south space orchestra anecdote, she presented the artist with a homemade chocolate canvass cake with buttercream frosting. Twenty-four hours of instructive inspiration concluded on a truly sweet note.

With materials placed neatly before them, attendees took their seats as Michael Mesko, ICAA fellow, introduced the first session.

"The purpose of this workshop," Mesko said, "is to demystify the linguistic communication of classical architecture."

Over the form of the 24-hour interval, ICAA instructors expounded upon the adaptability of the classical linguistic communication of architecture, its regional variations, and its relevance equally a living and continuous tradition. The instructors presented brainy architectural concepts in an accessible fashion. (At one point, Michael Mesko playfully described the capital of a Corinthian column every bit a "leafy salad.") Instructors referenced familiar examples of the classical orders in the city of Savannah and SCAD buildings, highlighting Kiah Hall equally Doric, and the Scottish Rite edifice—which now houses Gryphon Tea Room and Art's café—as an instance of the Ionic.

In a session on regional iterations of classical forms, Clay Rokicki, chair of the education commission of the ICAA's southeast chapter, described architecture equally a grade of narrative, possessing a item thesis, storyline, and stylistic convention: "Simply as you acquire literary style and decorum as you lot learn to read, you learn to read the city by studying the language of classical architecture."

Students put these concepts into do as the workshop moved to Contained Presbyterian Church building, where the Doric columns of the church building's portico were used as a template for a drawing do. They scrutinized the granite columns, measuring tapes and sketchbooks in hand.

"This workshop has broadened my understanding of architecture itself," remarked James Christian (B.F.A., photography).

Equally the workshop drew to a close, students lined their sketchbooks along the steps of the church, a visual testament to the accomplishments of the day. Students and instructors commented on the unique elements of each sketch and the progress made throughout the workshop.

Aline Feijo (M.F.A., preservation blueprint), emphasized the importance of studying the classical language of architecture: "The only style to create great architecture is to empathise great architecture, compages that has lasted for millennia."

Before in the twenty-four hours, Stephen Chrisman, a primary at Ferguson & Shamamian Architects in New York City, had referenced 16th century drawings of the Pantheon by 2 anonymous French architects. The drawings had a particular poignancy for Dr. Geoffrey South. Taylor, dean of the SCAD School of Edifice Arts.

Alice Kandell: beyond Sikkim

By

Tags:

"Objects that are considered art historical don't live in cultural vacuums," announced Dr. Arthur DiFuria, SCAD chair of art history, from the auditorium stage of the SCAD Museum of Art. "They don't sit on shelves or exist within vitrines or hang on walls all their lives. They are woven into cultural fabrics, connected to the lives of the people who made them, use them, report them and are inspired by them. Perhaps tomorrow you will go into the classroom with a greater sense of this connectedness."

Dr. DiFuria'south remarks were a preamble to a presentation by author and collector Alice Kandell, celebrating "Assembly of the Exalted: The Tibetan Shrine Room from the Alice S. Kandell Collection" (Officina Libraria, 2018), a new book about her one-half-century delivery to Tibetan art. Dr. Kandell's talk, ranging from sense memories of yak butter tea to the efficacy of tangling with the Smithsonian, was a fantastic example of the level of guest speakers and artists who visit SCAD.

Dr. Kandell'due south reminiscence began in 1965 when, as a graduate student in psychology, she traveled to nourish the coronation of the new male monarch and queen (the latter a friend from college) of Sikkim, a tiny nation in the Himalayas bordering India and Tibet.

"When I got to Sikkim," Kandell said, "I was totally overwhelmed by the dazzler of the country: the mountains, the air, the people, and about of all the fine art. In a Buddhist country, the word 'art' is a consummate misnomer. It's not art, it's religious iconography, objects for use in the home and temples."

Photo: Alice Kandell

Since her initial trip to Sikkim, Kandell returned to the region, photographing widely at the king's behest. She also began a drove of religious objects, which now comprise the most comprehensive drove of Tibetan sacred fine art in the United States.

"Great art does not belong to whatsoever 1 person," Kandell said. "We're just guardians. In 2011, I decided it was time for my collection to go into the public domain. The Smithsonian finally agreed to present the pieces together every bit a shrine, as information technology would've been in Tibet."

Every bit Kandell'due south slide show peaked with depictions of otherworldly richness, she pivoted. "You lot don't take to travel to coronations in foreign nations, you know. If you're a lensman, and you like to tell stories, you lot can become wherever yous want. Y'all can travel to the kitchen. I did."

After returning to the U.s.a., Kandell explained, she married and became something of a homemaker, although she didn't stop creating: two books, featuring photographs of her then-toddler-aged sons, were the consequence: "Max, the Music-Maker" (Lothrop, Lee & Shepard, 1980) and "Ben's ABC Twenty-four hours" (William Morrow and Visitor, 1982). This seeming tangent was part of Kandell'south larger point: inspiration is where you find information technology—just proceed your camera with you.

The evening concluded with additional remarks on Kandell's piece of work by Kerry Lucinda Brown, SCAD professor of Asian fine art history, and SCAD alumni mentor Paula Fogarty (Thousand.A., fine art history, 2013).
