Time: 12:30-1:45
Location: Buchanan Hall 1930
About Yumiko Glover:Yumiko Glover was born and raised in Hiroshima, Japan. She received her BFA from the University of Hawai’i in 2011 and her MFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2017.
Glover has exhibited her artwork in a solo exhibitions at the Glass Box Gallery at UCSB, and the Brian Ohno Gallery in Seattle, Washington, curated group exhibitions at the Cedar Street Galleries in Honolulu, the Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center, the Honolulu Museum of Art’s exhibition Modern Love: 20th Century Japanese Erotic Art and the Honolulu Museum of Art’s 2013 Biennial Artists of Hawai’i.

Transience of life, a central tenet of Buddhism that is used to describe the aesthetics of impermanence, is the major concept of her current work. By combining the elements that symbolize impermanence, Glover is representing the preciousness of those lives that existed during past and current wars. Glover’s most recent work, Transience, is currently exhibited at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX-Terminal 7/8) though March 2019 as a part of the Wild Blue Yonder exhibition.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS FOR ART 1A FALL 2018
This quarter you have several ways in which to either receive credit for missed assignments or receive extra credit, and you may do all of them. Each assignment has the same point value as a single essay from your weekly writing assignments, and you may turn them in between now and Thursday, December 6 in lecture. These extra credit assignments will raise your overall points for the 30% off your grade dedicated to your weekly writing assignments. The point value caps off at 100%.
TURN IN MISSED READING SUMMARIES:
You may turn in all of your missed reading summaries without any late penalty by Thursday, December 6 in lecture.
EXTRA CREDIT:
If you wish to improve your grade for the 30% total devoted to the weekly reading summaries, then you may submit a 2-page museum response paper for the PRINTS! THE JOAN AND STUART LEVIN COLLECTION exhibition at the AD & A Museum UC Santa Barbara (Saturday, September 29, 2018 to Sunday, December 9, 2018). It is equivalent to a single article for the weekly reading summaries. Due: Thursday, December 6 in lecture.
ABSENCES:
If you have missed a lot of classes, it is a good idea to check with your TA to see how many unexcused absences you have accumulated. As you know, 5 or more unexcused absences result in failing the class. However, if you had emergencies, and can provide me with a note from your doctor, from Student Health, or from your CAPS Counselor (for the specific dates in question)– then those absences will be excused.
If you went to LACMA, or the MCA and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, be sure that your TA has your 2-page response paper and tweets. Remember that the all-day museum trips were in lieu of two lectures. Failing to go to LACMA, or to the alternative trip to the MCA and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art is equivalent to 2 absences.
If you still have a lot of absences, then there are two assignments that you can do to forgive up to 2 of them. Each will forgive a single absence, and you may do both. They are due by Thursday, December 6 in lecture.

LACMA FIELD TRIP UPDATE | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10
The current fires in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, and 101 freeway closure in the Agoura Hills area, makes it far too risky to drive to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara, therefore I have cancelled the vans and want all of you to stay in Santa Barbara to remain safe.
You have three choices:
1) Meet your teaching assistants at the MCA on Saturday, November 10 at 6:00pm. You will be able to see the Kota Ezawa exhibition (which is the subject of your second research paper).
2) Do the alternative assignment and go to the SBMA and the MCA on your own.
3) If you are already in Los Angeles, and you still want to meet me at LACMA, as previously planned– then email me to let me know. I will go if some of you are already in LA and really wanted to go see the Rauschenberg exhibitions.
