St. Olaf College invites applications for a position in ceramics in the
Department of Art and Art History. The department is looking for a
dynamic, innovative artist and educator who can help shape the future of
the studio art program. A full-time teaching load includes three
courses in ceramics and three courses in a secondary area of expertise
other than sculpture, such as drawing, painting, photography, or new
media. Less traditional modes of art practice, including socially or
civically engaged art, are also of interest to the department. In
addition to teaching, responsibilities include overseeing a complete
ceramics studio, ongoing professional/creative work, advising of
students, service on department and college committees, and curriculum
development. 

Application review begins September 15, 2015. 

Applicants must submit application materials online at https://stolaf.hiretouch.com/faculty-postings. A complete application includes:

1. Letter of Application

2. Statement of Teaching Philosophy                  

3. Curriculum Vitae

4. Sample syllabi

5. Work sample (select one of the following to upload as the “Work Sample” document type)

    work samples that include titles, media, dimensions, and dates, or
  2. provide a PDF file of your work sample, not exceeding 20 labeled images of personal work and 20 images of student work, and/or a
    5-minute video that showcases your work sample (if you are uploading
    both a PDF and a video, please upload the PDF as the “Work Sample”
    document type and the video as the “Video URL” document type)

movie day: A Good Life, Too: Alonzo Clemons

A Good Life, Too: Alonzo Clemons from The Good Line on Vimeo.

You can learn more about Alonzo Clemons’ work at alonzoclemons.com

When he was a toddler, Alonzo Clemons suffered a brain injury. It
forever changed the way he learns and communicates but also the way he
interprets the world around him. Very early it became clear to Alonzo
that he had to sculpt. He was institutionalized for ten years in a state
hospital which wasn’t a pleasant experience, but he continued to find
ways to make delicate figures with his hands. When they wouldn’t give
him clay, he would scrape warm tar from the parking lot.

Despite his limitations Alonzo continues to sculpt outside of Boulder, Colorado.

The film was produced in partnership with What I Thought I Saw, a
photo-story traveling exhibit and book that tells stories of people we
may have otherwise over-looked.
