This preview phase allows faculty to prepare course materials for the Winter and/or Spring 2015 terms and to provide valuable feedback to DoIT regarding the interface and tools.

  • Go to my.umbc.edu/go/bbnew
    • Note: You will use this temporary web address until late December. It is intended only for faculty and staff at this time.
  • Click on the black button, LOG IN TO BLACKBOARD. If you are not already logged in to myUMBC, you will be prompted to do so with your UMBC credentials.

Under the My Courses nugget and the All Courses tab, you will see courses from AY12-13 and AY13-14. Winter and Spring 2015 courses  are also listed based on the schedule of courses, but unavailable.

  • Fall 2014 courses will not be migrated until after final grades are submitted. Information about this process will be released after the holiday break. You will still access those courses through the current self-hosted Blackboard site.
Additional guidelines and instructions are available in this FAQ article or download the FAQ article as a PDF to reference.

The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program has announced that Dr. Maurice Berger, Research Professor + Chief Curator for the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture is one of the recipients of its 2014 grants. 

Maurice plans to conduct research on Robert Frank, focusing on contact sheets, notes, and shooting scripts for a two-part essay on Frank’s representations of race in The Americans. He will also conduct research for essays exploring parallel developments in African American, Latino, and Asian American photo-based art and photography from the 1960s to the present, focusing on the ways this work has challenged stereotypes and prevailing ideas about identity.

Designed to support writing about contemporary art, as well as to create a broader audience for arts writing, the program aims to strengthen the field as a whole and to ensure that critical writing remains a valued mode of engaging the visual arts. The grant supports research for Maurice Berger’s monthly column, “Race Stories,” for the Lens Blog of the New York Times. The blog explores the relationship of photography to concepts, themes, and social or regional issues about race not usually covered in the mainstream media.

Piene-Image-1-205Three films by Vin Grabill, associate professor and chair of Visual Arts, will be featured this month at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Produced in 1982, 1986, and 2010, the films — Otto Piene’s Sky Art, Otto Piene’s Sky Art Neon Rainbow, and Sky Kiss at Desert Sun/Desert Moon — will be screened as part of the “Zero: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s-60s Film Program” and will play daily at 3 pm, December 5 – 30. “These programs featuring artist documentaries provide an expanded look at the ZERO network and the processes that the artists employed,” states the Guggenheim.

The subject of the films, Otto Piene, was one of the founding members of Group Zero, “an international network of artists that shared the group’s aspiration to redefine and transform art in the aftermath of World War II,” and was the recipient in 1995 of an honorary doctorate from UMBC.

Complete information about the screenings can be found here.
