100 Years of Art Faculty and Art Students in A&AA School

Lecture by Ken O'Connell
Wed, 01/21/2015 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm

Ken O'Connell, professor emeritus of art, will present some of the highlights from 100 years with examples of art by the teachers as well as students that studied closely with them. These teachers at Oregon changed people's lives. Students went on to become artists, designers, filmmakers, and teachers themselves. Most felt their time at UO was a Golden Era. They also experienced such visiting artists and designers as Robert Motherwell, Joseph Albers, R. Buckminster Fuller, Judy Chicago, Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Bock (Frank Lloyd Wright's sculptor), Kazutaki Uchida, Harry Davis, Toshiko Takeazu, and many more. O'Connell will have several books on hand about a number of the UO faculty and students for purchase and further study. People are invited to bring references to their time as students at the UO to share.
