ADJUNCT PROFESSOR - CONCEPTS IN GAMING, HUNTER COLLEGE, CUNYThe Hunter College Film and Media Studies Department is searching for an instructor to teach the undergraduate Fall 2013 Concepts in Gaming course.
Course Description:
This course surveys the historical basis of and current practices in game design, which is phase one of game development. Just as a study of rhetoric and persuasive argument lays the foundation for effective written communication, the study of game design lays the foundation for an equally effective digital communication. While the structure of games may seem like a small fraction of interactive design, the concepts related in this class should prove fundamental to your ability to design any interactive experience from a simple website to a MMORPG.
This course is scheduled for Fridays from 1:10 - 4pm. The fall 2013 semester begins on August 27th and runs through December 22nd (end of finals period). The course meets for a 14 week period and is followed by a final.

PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL
FOUNDED IN 1971 BY GLASS ARTIST DALE CHIHULY AND PATRONS ANNE GOULD HAUBERG AND JOHN H. HAUBERG, PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL HAS BEEN A PRIMARY FORCE IN THE EVOLUTION OF GLASS AS A MEANS OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. BY CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WITH A PRIMARY FOCUS ON GLASS, ACCESS TO RESOURCES, AND AN EVER-EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS (65 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED), PILCHUCK HAS BECOME ONE OF THE LARGEST, MOST COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL CENTERS IN THE WORLD FOR ARTISTS WORKING IN GLASS.
PILCHUCK’S ARTISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE ON A SERENE FIFTY-FOUR-ACRE WOODED CAMPUS FIFTY MILES NORTH OF SEATTLE. THIS SETTING IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE CASCADE RANGE OVERLOOKING PUGET SOUND PROVIDES ISOLATION FROM THE INFLUENCE OF COMMERCE AND URBAN CENTERS AND ALLOWS ARTISTS TO FOCUS ON ART. THE CAMPUS FEATURES TWO HOT-GLASS SHOPS, A STUDIO BUILDING, KILN SHOP, COLDWORKING STUDIO, FLAT SHOP FOR NEON AND FLAMEWORKING, WOOD AND METAL SHOPS, AND A GLASS-PLATE PRINTMAKING STUDIO. THESE FACILITIES OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF WORKSPACES WITH A BROAD RANGE OF EQUIPMENT FOR GLASS ART PRODUCTION. OTHER FACILITIES INCLUDE A LODGE THAT HOUSES A LECTURE AREA, LIBRARY, KITCHEN, AND DINING ROOM. AN ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING CONTAINS OFFICE SPACES AND A GALLERY WITH EXHIBITIONS OF WORK BY FACULTY AND STAFF THROUGHOUT THE SESSIONS SO STUDENTS CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CREATIVITY AND TALENT OF THEIR TEACHERS AND THOSE WHO MAKE THE SCHOOL WORK. NESTLED INTO THE WOODED HILLSIDES ARE NUMEROUS RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS FOR FACULTY, ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE, STUDENTS, AND STAFF. THERE ARE MILES OF TRAILS THROUGH BEAUTIFUL PACIFIC NORTHWEST FORESTS THAT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXERCISE AND PEACEFUL CONTEMPLATION.
OVER THE PAST THIRTY YEARS, THOUSANDS OF ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THE NATION AND AROUND THE WORLD HAVE COME TO PILCHUCK TO TEACH, TO TEST NEW IDEAS, TO LEARN, AND TO EXPAND THEIR ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE HORIZONS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS WHO SHARE A PASSION FOR ART WHILE COMING AT IT WITH DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND ARTISTIC MODES. EVERY YEAR, FROM MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER, PILCHUCK OFFERS THIRTY-SIX INTENSIVE RESIDENTIAL SESSIONS. CLASSES ARE LIMITED TO TEN TO TWELVE STUDENTS AND OFFER A CONCENTRATED INQUIRY INTO TECHNIQUES AND AESTHETIC IDEOLOGIES. STUDENTS WORK IN HOT AND COLD GLASS TECHNIQUES INCLUDING GLASSBLOWING, CASTING, FUSING, NEON, STAINED GLASS, PAINTED GLASS, FLAMEWORKING, MIXED-MEDIA SCULPTURE AND ENGRAVING.
COURSES EMPHASIZE EXPERIMENTATION AND TEAMWORK WHILE FOSTERING INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE AND EXPRESSION. INSTRUCTORS INCLUDE LEADING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL GLASS ARTISTS AND UNIVERSITY FACULTY MEMBERS. SLIDE SHOWS, DISCUSSIONS AND DEMONSTRATIONS OCCUR DAILY AND ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE ON CAMPUS, PROVIDING STIMULATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIALOGUE AND EXCHANGE ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND CULTURES. SURROUNDED BY A COMMUNITY OF GREAT TALENT AND CREATIVITY, BOTH NEW AND EXPERIENCED ARTISTS MAKE TREMENDOUS CONCEPTUAL AND ARTISTIC PROGRESS IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THESE EXPERIENCES OFTEN BECOME THE IMPETUS FOR NEW DIRECTIONS OF ARTISTIC EXPLORATION FOR YEARS TO COME.
DURING THE SUMMER SESSIONS, SEVEN SEPARATE ARTIST RESIDENCIES BRING ACCOMPLISHED VISUAL ARTISTS IN ALL MEDIA TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ARTISTIC RICHNESS OF THE PILCHUCK EXPERIENCE. GENERALLY, THE ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR WORK OUTSIDE THE FIELD OF GLASS, BUT SOME ARE INTERNATIONAL MASTERS OF GLASS.
THE SCHOOL HAS AN ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET OF JUST UNDER $3 MILLION WHICH IS FUNDED THROUGH A MIX OF CONTRIBUTED INCOME, EVENTS, AND TUITION AND FEES; NET ASSETS OF OVER $7 MILLION; AND A YEAR-ROUND STAFF OF 16. THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ARE BASED IN SEATTLE; THE CAMPUS APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF SEATTLE IS THE SITE OF ALL PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY.
PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL ADVANCES GLASS AS AN ARTISTIC MEDIUM BEYOND ALL IMAGINING. THE SCHOOL IS A HAVEN PRESERVED ON PACIFIC NORTHWEST FORESTLANDS WHERE ARTISTS GATHER TO STUDY GLASS IN WAYS BOTH KNOWN AND UNFORESEEN. IN THIS INTIMATE AND NURTURING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, ARTISTS AND STUDENTS LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, FREEDOM OF IMAGINATION AND PERSONAL EXPRESSION THRIVE, AND LIVES ARE TRANSFORMED. AT ITS HEART, THE SCHOOL HONORS THE RELEVANCE, INTEGRITY, AND IMPORTANCE OF THE ARTISTIC PROCESS ITSELF.
MISSION STATEMENT:
PILCHUCK GLASS SCHOOL INSPIRES CREATIVITY, TRANSFORMS INDIVIDUALS AND BUILDS COMMUNITY.
