GRAPHIC DESIGN Session I: College/Adult PNNY 0209 Section A Session II: College/Adult PNNY 0209 Section B Session II: Pre-College PNNY 0111 Section C Graphic design is the visual language of everyday life, present in everything from magazine ads to film titles to the packaging of products. Students develop an understanding of the concepts and techniques of great design and the fundamentals of typography as they create pieces for their portfolios. New York City is a resource for site specific projects and some work is team-based. Basic training is provided in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. Students take two classes a day, one in a traditional studio, and one in the digital lab.

ILLUSTRATION Session I: College/Adult PNNY 0250 Section A Session II: College/Adult PNNY 0250 Section B Session II: Pre-College PNNY 0150 Section C Illustration is the art of using images to communicate ideas.

Illustrators express their opinions in political cartoons and editorial illustrations. They create fantasies in comics, graphic novels, and children’s books. They create financial reports, provide travel information in maps and signage, and present data in graphics. Illustration is also the backbone of animation, skateboard art, toys, and many Web designs and products. Students formulate ideas, develop their rendering skills, and use problem solving to convey their vision. Students are introduced to compelling work created by contemporary illustrators and develop basic skills in preparation for careers or further study in illustration.

INTEGRATED DESIGN: LEARNING FROM FIELDWORK Session II: College/Adult and Pre-College PNNY 0214 Section B Students use basic principles of design and representation in combination with active on-site investigations of a New York City neighborhood undergoing rapid changes in economics, development, and demographics. Working in groups throughout the course, students examine the interplay of ecology, economy, and community, and create maps to record and represent their observations. There will be one class field trip and several group trips to the site. After identifying a topic for exploration, students evaluate their audience, local resources, and find opportunities for intervention. They then design products, create systems, or plan events to enhance residents’ quality of life.

ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIORS OF PARIS: A DRAWING INVESTIGATION July 19–July 30 College/Adult PNPA 0225 Section A This course offers an immersion in the built environment of Paris—its monuments, museums, residential buildings, gardens, and interiors. Drawing is the primary tool for discovery, as students move from documentation to analysis and invention. To capture the experience of being in Paris, students practice a range of drawing methods, including orthographic correspondence, perspective drawing, composite/layered 12

DRAWING AND DESIGN in paris July 5–July 30 Pre-College PNPA 0318 Section C Students investigate the interdisciplinary nature of drawing and design and learn about the design professions of fashion, product, and graphic design. The disciplines are introduced by practicing artists and designers. During the course, students work in teams on thematic projects that incorporate both drawing and the design process. Students do research for their projects on campus as well as on site in Paris.

DRAWING AND PAINTING IN PARIS July 5–July 30 Pre-College PNPA 0308 Section C Classes meet at outdoor sites of historical and cultural significance. With the magnificence of Paris as inspiration, students develop visual skills as they study concepts, techniques, and the creative process. Course work focuses on

drawing, although students also complete painting assignments to gain insight into how colors interact. Museum visits and discussions provide background in the history of art and design. This course is recommended for students building a portfolio for college admission, as well as for those interested in strengthening their ability to paint and draw from observation.

FASHION IN PARIS July 5–July 30 College/Adult PNPA 2230 Section A Pre-College PNPA 0130 Section C Students explore the fashion industry and the design process that drives it. Model drawing, design sketching, and design development projects enable students to build drawing, observational, and conceptual skills. This course emphasizes general design processes and visual skills; it does not include exercises in garment construction. Discussions of fashion history, guest speakers, and field trips to fashion exhibitions enhance the studio ­experience.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN PARIS July 5–July 30 College/Adult and Pre-College PNPA 2280 S ­ ection A Students develop their personal vision as they examine the rich tradition of French photography through the exploration of urban landscape, portraiture, and reportage. The course covers historical and contemporary photographic practice as students learn to convey concepts and explore topics with a greater depth and articulation. Classes include on-site shoots, museum visits, editing in the digital lab, classroom lectures and critiques. Because all work is done in digital format, students must bring a 35mm SLR digital camera with manual settings.

THE PHOTO ESSAY: MASTER CLASS July 5–July 16 College/Adult PNPA 3280 Section A Led by the renowned photojournalist Peter Turnley, this master class is designed for ­serious photography students with a passion for journalism, political science, sociology, history, and French language and literature. Students explore the traditions of Parisian photography and its masters—such as Doisneau, Atget, and Strand—as they work on a theme of their choice to create a photo essay through documentary and street photography. The course draws on the resources of Paris, including the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, museums, and galleries.

The MA Program in the History of Decorative Arts and Design, a collaborative program of Parsons and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, offers a two-week graduate-credit summer seminar in Berlin.

COURSE DESCRIPTION EXPLORING GERMAN DECORATIVE ARTS College/Adult PGDE 5430 Section A July 5–16 Professor Ulrich Leben Situated in the center of Europe, Germany was influenced by styles from across the continent, which had a great impact on the creation of a particular and unique German style and has left a rich legacy open to new discoveries since the reunification of the country. Based in Berlin, this course explores Germany’s rich heritage of decorative arts since the 18th century and German designers’ roles in shaping the course of modernism. The curriculum includes visits to important German collections, including the Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) and the Bauhaus Archiv; and excursions to royal palaces and house museums from the 18th through the 20th centuries in and near Berlin (many of which have kept their original decoration and furnishings), as well as to the Bauhaus school and the master buildings in Dessau. Students become familiar with contemporary architecture, design, and collections in Berlin and the post-reunification reconstruction that continues to reshape the city once again serving as the capital of Germany.

NOTE family may not join the class for lectures, walks, or lenging and requires hours of walking and standing.

GRADUATE PROGRAM FOR ART EDUCATORS IN NEW YORK JULY 5–JULY 27 Bank Street College of Education and Parsons collaborate to offer a three-summer graduate program in Leadership in the Arts, leading to a Master of Science in Education. This program has two principal components: a leadership portion providing the knowledge and skills needed for the role of supervisor and administrator in diverse school and community settings and a studio portion to refine and develop art and design skills.

Drawing on the extensive resources of Parsons and New York City, educators enrolled in the program complete intensive studio courses and expand their knowledge of art and design under the guidance of a faculty of working artists and professional designers who emphasize both technical strengths and creative problem-solving.

Visits to artists’ studios, museums, and galleries utilize the inspiring visual resources of the city.

The studio portion of the program complements course work in administration and supervision offered at Bank Street College of Education during the summer and through a distance-learning model throughout the academic year.

For those students who have been teaching for at least three years in nursery through 12th grades, the program leads to New York State certification in supervision and administration. Those with provisional certification in art education may apply for permanent certification in art education. Graduates of this program hold positions as public and private school principals, regional art supervisors and administrators, teachers, and professional artists and designers.

For additional program information, housing, financial aid, and an application, contact the Office of Graduate Admissions, Bank Street College of Education, 610 West 112th Street, New York, NY 10025; 212.875.4404; gradcourses@ bankstreet.edu; or visit www.bankstreet.edu/gs.

Any refund of housing fees is determined by the schedule as outlined in this brochure. The $250 housing application fee is forfeited in all instances. No refund will be made for any resident’s late check-in or early departure. Once the cancellation request is granted, the resident must vacate the residence hall no later than 72 hours from the date of notification of approval of the cancellation request. Failure to vacate in a timely manner will result in additional penalties.

3. VACATING PROCEDURES. The resident agrees to vacate the residence hall at the time set forth by the Office of Student Housing & Residence Life or sooner if the resident shall be in default hereunder. The resident shall be responsible for all damages, direct or indirect, resulting from the resident’s obligation under this agreement in any respect including, but not limited to, the cost of accommodations for each resident who would otherwise occupy the residence hall and all expenses, including legal fees incurred by The New School in connection with or as a result of the failure of the resident to vacate the residence hall or in connec­tion with the removal of the resident from the residence hall.

4. REGULATIONS. It is the intention of the Office of Student Housing & Residence Life that the residence halls be a safe and comfortable home for all summer residents. There are a number of specific rules and regulations that must be adhered to, as well as a number of activities that cannot be tolerated. Any violation will be viewed by The New School as grounds for immediate removal, without refund, from the residence halls. The resident agrees to review and abide by all the policies and regulations of The New

School and the Office of Student Housing & Residence Life that are, or shall become, effective during the term of this agreement. These policies and regulations are included in the Housing Contract, the Residence Hall Handbook, and other publications distributed by The New School.

5. 18 YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER CURFEW REQUIREMENTS. Residents enrolled in Parsons Summer Intensive Studies who are 18 years of age or younger as of June 28, 2010, are subject to curfew requirements. This curfew has been established for residents’ safety. The Office of Student Housing & Residence Life will enforce a 12:00 midnight curfew seven days a week for the duration of the summer program. Failure to observe this curfew will result in removal from the residence hall.

6. SMOKING REGULATIONS. The residence halls are smoke-free facilities.

Smoking is not allowed in any area of the buildings, including bedrooms, hallways, and common areas, or within 25 feet of residence hall entrances.

7. BUILDING DAMAGES. The resident agrees to take reasonable care of the building and rooms used and to restore them to their condition as of the date of check-in, if necessary. The resident will be responsible for any costs resulting from damage to and/or loss of university property. All residents will share joint responsibility for loss or damages to common areas if guilty parties cannot be identified.

8. RIGHT OF ENTRY. The New School may exercise the following rights: (i) to enter any accommodation to which resident has been assigned pursuant to this agreement in order to inspect the premises for the purpose of health, management, safety, or compliance with applicable rules and regulations; (ii) to make building and room repairs during the time the resident has been assigned pursuant to this agreement; every effort will be made

by The New School to minimize inconvenience, and wherever possible, advance notice will be given; (iii) to vacate any of the ­accommodations and require the occupants to move to other New School ­accommodations.

9. BUILDING REPAIRS AND CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION. Summer is the only time when major maintenance work, painting, and other building repairs can be performed in the residence halls. Be aware that painting, carpet replace­ment, facility enhancement, lighting projects, elevator repairs, and other similar work might affect ­residents. Major con­struction projects are scheduled to take place at various locations on and around the New School campus this summer. Any or all of these projects may cause noise, system interruptions, and access changes. We will make every effort to inform residents of any work that might affect their stay.

10. RIGHTS RESERVED BY THE NEW SCHOOL. The New School reserves the right: (a) of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy at law or in equity as if reentry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not herein provided for, and the selection of one or more remedies shall not preclude The New School from any other remedy; (b) to conduct inspections to ensure health, safety, and general welfare of members of the university community or to maintain the physical security of university properties; access to residence halls by university staff will be generated as the university deems necessary; (c) at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion, to change or cancel the residence hall assignment. The university is not liable for the loss of money or valuables by any person or for the loss or damage to any resident’s property.
