The Department of 艺术 hosts many events throughout the year, including the 视觉思考者系列讲座, Bensussen艺术讲座, Margo Pawell设计研讨会，以及艺术展览 古根海姆美术馆. Below is a look at what’s coming up and information on some of the wonderful events we've hosted in the past.
视觉思考者系列讲座
In keeping with the Chapman 艺术 Department's mission to further its students' understanding of visual culture, the 视觉思考者系列讲座 was designed as a series of lectures featuring distinguished artists, 平面设计师和艺术史学家. This unique series aims to intellectually stimulate undergraduate students to think innovatively about the interdisciplinarity of creativity, 灵感与艺术实践, thus perfectly satisfying the university's emphasis on research and teaching.
Invited at the suggestion of both faculty and students, all speakers are active practitioners and scholars who are deeply committed to advancing the role of the arts in today's society. The 视觉思考者系列讲座 encourages students to explore visual culture outside of their chosen medium, thus opening their eyes and minds to ideas and professional opportunities they would have otherwise not considered.

The Bensussen艺术讲座 brings artists and scholars to Chapman to help students make a connection to the passion and purpose behind an artist’s creation. 历史和艺术是我们的两大爱好. The combination of these interests has made a major difference in our understanding of the civilizations of the world. Who can study Flemish tapestries without wondering what happened in Flanders? 我们的世界地图今天仍在变化, but nothing like the constantly changing boundaries of the previous centuries. One of the most fascinating ways to study history is to experience an artist’s depiction of the events that shaped our world. Literature takes on a whole new meaning when one has seen the architecture of the era.
去意大利旅行, it occurred to us that most Americans do not have access to the rich experiences that foreign travel offers. Exposure to the works of art in the Uffizi, 学术界, or magnificent churches opens the imagination. The cultural competency of other countries becomes apparent when talking with travelers. 作为美国人, 我们受到流行文化的轰炸, often at the expense of a broader cultural experience.
This lecture series will help students make a connection to the passion and purpose behind an artist’s creation. If we can captivate students’ interest during their college years, we can inspire them to continue to build their appreciation of art forms throughout their lives.
