The Art Historian in me is absolutely devastated, utterly wrecked. The optimist in me is so relieved to see that all is not lost, that human beings do what they have always done in the face of tragedy: come together, act with one, singular intention and save everything that can be saved, and then ...rebuild.

As online students, we spend a lot of time in front of the computer – usually sitting down. Then, to relax, we often “put our feet up” and “chill on the couch” – additional sedentary activities. However, medical science indicates that sitting down too much can have negative health impacts. This podcast discussed those impacts, solutions to combat them, and offers a “live” stretching session. For a video of the stretching exercises, please visit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nge876drxtj3deq/IMG_0969.MOV?dl=0

Many students, especially those enrolled in creative type programs like our degrees at Ai, express fear or frustration when faced with writing papers. Often they are unfamiliar or overwhelmed with proper formatting in either the MLA or APA style. Sometimes they understand the course material but are confused as to how to organize their content or they do not know how to get started with an essay. This podcast presents some simple guidelines from a Professor’s perspective so that students can maximize their points earned for each essay or paper submitted. The session focuses on both format and content (to download a sample MLA template click here https://goo.gl/KWMlmL or for a sample APA template click here https://goo.gl/cXZqVq).

Gamification is a fairly new phenomenon that is being used in many areas of education as well as the workforce. In order for this technique to be used successfully, it’s important to understand the factors that allow the learner to engage in the activity and retain the information. Motivation is one piece of that puzzle. This podcast will discuss the importance of motivation (and flow) in gamification. This is helpful for anyone who is using gamification in their area of work, classroom, or anyone designing games for this purpose.

When first learning the Language of Visual Arts, it is normal to become overwhelmed by concerns of whether we are doing it correctly. The terms may seem confusing and difficult to comprehend. In this podcast we discuss the challenges that come with identifying the Elements of Art and integrating them into an analysis of the Principles of Design. Through practice, we come to better “see” a work of art or design in new and more dynamic ways. We expand our scope to include why style and subject matter are important, the significance of historical and cultural context, and how art functions in society. While the process of writing about art can be daunting, we are rewarded with a deeper understanding of art, the artists who create it, and the arc of time within which they are made.

Our entertainment industry, including film, television, fiction and games is rife with dystopian and post-apocalyptic narratives, but where did this genre come from and why is it so engaging? What makes the setting so attractive in games like Fallout 4? In this episode we will look at the fun of playing at the end of the world. Contributor: John Conway

In this episode we will take a look at two contrasting styles of video games: those that are driven by story, narrative and character and those that are “open sandboxes.” No Man’s Sky will be discussed to see if it has failed or if it is successful as a game without a narrative thrust. Can games without narrative or character be successful. If so, how? Contributor: John Conway

This question emerges for us all: How can I get this all done? The pressure of deadlines and due dates is all around us and there’s no shortage of demands on our time, as we take on the additional responsibilities of online learning and teaching. Adding school and work to our already busy schedule can complicate everything else if you don’t have a handle on how to organize and use our time effectively…and while we all agree on the importance of time management skills,we struggle to name specific resources to help with this dilemma…and thus it becomes a real challenge!

In this episode the concept of world-building is discussed in order to help designers create immersive contexts for their games, settings that are consistent and believable. Advice is shared by writers like Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Gary Gygax.

In Part 2 of The Language of Art, we discuss how to recombine the Elements of Art into an analysis of the Principles of Design. This podcast explains why we study great works of art and design as part of aiding us in our perceptual abilities. Understanding how to exercise our descriptive and analytical skills results in a greater capacity to perceive the world around us. With practice, this process becomes internalized, intuitive and second nature. By studying, describing and analyzing works of art and design, we become more keenly attuned as artists and designers ourselves.

In this first of a two part podcast, we discuss in depth the advantages of learning the Language of Visual Arts. Just as with music, we need to know how individual elements are used and combined to create a finished whole. We cover the Elements of Art in detail,providing a rationale for why breaking done a work of art or design into individual elements is a necessary first step for presenting a visual description that establishes a foundation for synthesizing a formal analysis of a work of art or design. We emphasize the process of deconstructing artworks, which will segue into the second podcast covering the Principles of Design.

One common problem that many often complain about is the fear they feel when they have to speak in public. It goes by many names: the jitters, stage fright,communication apprehension, and even sometimes "the butterflies."
Many believe we would be better off if we could be totally free from apprehension during public speaking. However, based on years of study by Professor Gerald Phillips (1977), it was found that apprehension is not necessarily negative. In fact, a little apprehension helps us to do our best job. According to Phillips, nearly all students experience nervous tension during their presentations, but most have learned to manage the apprehension. Knowing that apprehension is common to most…and listed as the number 1 fear in The Book of Lists (1977)…we will recommend ways to manage speech apprehension for our benefit…not demise!
