What I'll be doing this spring

[ellid]

Here is the description of my spring distance course from UNL:

Design Perspectives and Issues: Aesthetics and the Quilt
TXCD 905 D Design Perspectives and Issues: Aesthetics and the Quilt
Instructor: Michael James
Spring Semester 2009
3 credits -- Distance Delivery Course
ESTIMATED tuition and fees:
Graduate credit: Nebraska resident, $700; non-resident, $1100

This online/distance delivery seminar will examine issues in aesthetics as related to both historical and nontraditional quilts. Extensive readings in the areas of aesthetics, contemporary art, design and craft theory, and social and critical theory will support investigative, analytical and critical writing about selected works from the collections of the International Quilt Study Center and elsewhere.


Here is the website of the man who will be teaching it.

Holy *crap*.

I'm taking that as a literal crap? Or...?

Nope, "holy crap" as in "wow, I'm taking a course with a legend." Because that's what Michael James is in quilting circles. He's one of the best art quilters around.

What a great course for you! How exciting that you can do this too :)

Did you get the chance to check out the links to the scans of Juana's colchas?
