The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

In this workshop\, work with cartoonist Jerzy Drozd to explore the convergence of literary and artistic disciplines inherent in comics and see how comics can be a powerful way to build reading comprehension skills\, such as prediction\, inference\, and fluency.\n\nYou'll receive a 61-page packet that will help you develop your own comics programming and classes\, even if you don’t know how to draw!\n \n\n1:30-2:30 p.m.\n\nPanel – Using Comics in the Classroom\; \nin the Hatcher Library Gallery (100 Hatcher North)\n\nWondering how to get the most out of using comics to teach your students or to create compelling events at your library?

Do you view art or read it? Are the terms interchangeable? Join David Choberka\, Mellon Academic Coordinator\, for an interactive discussion on how visual artists communicate through their medium. Dr. Choberka will present a selection of pieces from the University of Michigan Museum of Art and show you how fine artists communicate their ideas using the same visual toolbox as cartoonists.\n \n\n4:00-5:00 pm\n\nPanel – How You Read and Write Visually: The Lean Into Art Cast\; \nin the Hatcher Library Gallery (100 Hatcher North)\n\nWhy are some book covers\, posters\, comics\, or even apps more instantly appealing than others? What’s happening in your mind when you find yourself emotionally responding to an image? Is it simply the “magic” of art\, or can we unbox the language of visual storytelling to become better educators and creators?\n\nJoin teaching artist Jerzy Drozd and cartoonist/game developer Rob Stenzinger for a live recording of the Lean Into Art Cast\, where we’ll all explore some key design principles that will make you a more intentional reader\, educator\, and creator. Bring your own thoughts and wonderings and be a part of the discussion!\n\nQuestions?

Partnering with her husband Seth\, May has used her music to support the community and create positive change and connections. May plays guitar\, fiddle\, viola\, piano and a few other instruments\, but mostly she sings. Her songs are treasured by people of all faiths and politics.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

It's a candid record that she sets to a sweeping Americana/alt-country soundtrack\, layering pedal steel guitars and background harmonies into some of the lushest\, brightest songs of her 20-year career. Melissa's life has always been an open book. Signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-1990s\, she helped represent a new wave of alt-rock females–including artists like Liz Phair\, PJ Harvey and college-mate Paula Cole-- who sang about adult womanhood with sharp\, unchecked honesty. Morrissey proved an early champion when he personally invited her to tour as his opening act\, and Ferrick eventually went on to found her own label and release a number of albums in which she played every instrument herself. Her life took dips and turns along the way\, and she chronicled every detail in her songwriting. Melissa Ferrick has the kind of relationship with her audience that few artists are blessed with. Her live performances are fierce and funny\, outspoken and vulnerable\, passionate and real.

My Healing Art\, a series of ink drawings\, were first created during her recovery from thyroid cancer a few years ago.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

My Healing Art\, a series of ink drawings\, were first created during her recovery from thyroid cancer a few years ago. Ill and filled with distress\, fear and helplessness\, she could only muster enough energy to draw simple circular shapes and lines. But she soon discovered that the act of drawing these abstract shapes everyday was therapeutic and healing. She found doing the drawings meditative and calming\, and for the first time since the terrifying diagnosis\, she felt connected\, comforted and secure. This very personal body of work tells her story of healing.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200064@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140514T151353 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140626T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140626T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Gifts of Art presents Salsa! DESCRIPTION:Pete Siers\, drummer and leader of the renowned Latin jazz combo Los Gatos\, is a powerful\, intensely physical and dynamic player on timbales\, coro and percussion. In addition to Siers\, the other four members of the group\, Cary Kocher\, on vibes and coro\; Kurt Krahnke\, bass\; Brian Di Blassio\, piano and coro\; and Al Di Blassio\, congas\, vocals and percussion\, are all world class performers. They have each toured extensively and have been performing in Los Gatos for over 10 years. With Siers\, this group’s rhythm section is remarkable\, but for many listeners\, the distinctive feature of Los Gatos is Cary Kocher's vibraphone sound\, which can send a cool flow down your back on a hot summer day. This concert is part of the UMHS Summer Courtyard Concert Series presented by Gifts of Art.

There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor–and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Best of all\, Fred is coming to town with a new album\, \"Tambourine\,\" his 20th. The title and the music draw on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll. We've recently heard Fred solo at The Ark\, and now it's time for a show with his band the Traveling Steam Show\, which has lately jelled as a unit to a degree reminiscent of his great band of yore\, the Flying Squirrels.
