CEE8823_Arts_Geometry_Syllabus_FALL2022

The syllabus is in attachment and a brief course description is given below. Send an email to Dr. Fedele  (fedele@gatech.edu) if you are interested in taking the course or if you have questions.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

We will introduce students to the geometry of space and manifolds and how these concepts influenced modern arts and sciences, i.e. Cubism and Einstein’s relativity. The realization of geometry is visualization. The course is integrated with weekly lab sessions taught by the Atlanta-based professional artist Rachel Grant, who will teach students fundamentals of several art mediums:  pencil and charcoal drawing, oil painting, photography, three-dimensional (3D) sculptures and brainwave art using EEG technology.  Students will draw/sketch by hand to stimulate/enhance their visual memory, imagination, and practice abstraction of geometric concepts. Special focus is put on both exact representation (Renaissance art) and geometric abstraction (cubism, modern Art). Students’ artwork will be exhibited in the Georgia Tech Ferst Center of the Arts.

Faculty Positions at Texas Tech

Texas Tech is looking to fill multiple positions this coming year. We are looking to hire individuals who can contribute to more than one sub-discipline of civil engineering (overlaps across construction, transportation and pavements, geotechnical, and water resources welcome). Individuals with emergent skillsets such as large-scale statistical learning, bioprincipic design, smart and extreme materials, smart and deployable construction technologies, design of civil infrastructure markets, and coupled physical-digital modeling will receive great interest from the search committee. Please pass this on to your colleagues, your proteges and relay to interested individuals that they can contact me directly at venky.shankar@ttu.edu to learn more about our search. Sincerely, Venky Shankar, PhD, PE, Barnhart Chair, Professor and Chair.
