John Crowe and MAT student
Jace “the Rascal” Smith started an Independent Study in the office today.
As Deborah looked on from her desk, they exchanged pieces as the beginning of collaborative works that will be passed back and forth between them.

Steven Spencer Honored by 2D Department
Studio Education major Steven Spencer, whose studio concentration is painting, has been nominated by the 2D Fine Arts faculty to apply to the prestigious Yale/Norfolk School of Art Summer Program.
MassArt and selected colleges, universities, and professional art schools across the country and abroad are invited to nominate two candidates who are currently enrolled as juniors in their programs. Nominees who are accepted receive full tuition, room, and board for the six-week summer program at the Stoeckel Estate in northwestern Connecticut.
Seen around the Department: Julie Blauss
Julie Blauss, Art Education sophomore
and work/study student in the office,
wore her rabbit hat to work earlier this week.
Julie’s family raises rabbits, and in high school Julie belonged to the Rocking Rabbits 4H club. She says rabbits make great house pets. It’s tempting when you see these photos.
If there’s anything you want to know about rabbits, Julie’s the one to ask!
Deborah Simmerman featured in the Boston Globe
When Deborah Simmerman is not keeping everything running smoothly in the Art Education office, she may be found sipping tea in her tranquil “urban cottage” in Jamaica Plain. Jane Dornbusch, from The Boston Globe, visited Deborah for formal tea recently and shared her experience in a wonderful article. In it, Deborah also shares her recipe for authentic scones.
Anyone whose had the pleasure of visiting Deborah at home, or even paused for a spot of tea with her in the Art Ed office, understands when she says “I’ve introduced all my friends to afternoon tea. I find that conversation never goes better than at tea; it provides a time and space to forget the passing of time.’’
During this snowy week, take a moment to read the article and be transported to a place where the pace moves a bit slower and it’s always time for tea. – Eleanor Ramsay

Can you guess who this is?
The year is 1986.
The city of Independence needs some illustrators.
Our mystery man stayed home from school for two days to make it happen.
He is still making things happen.
Who is he?
