A PAINTER PAINTS A PAINTING WITH PAINT. That is in America. In Deutsch- land malt eine Malerin ein Bild mit Farbe. On this side of the Atlantic, clearly — identity, process and visuality ~ imply a plethora of fluid, metaphoric and open sources ~ angrenzende Gebiete ~ for painting/Malerei in the 21" Century. As the German syntax for the act of painting signifies, the topos for making art in my class is, first and foremost, Identity. Who am 1? What am I about? What is out there? My students share concepts and issues to experiment with an individual set of values and meanings. For example: Why do we choose to identify and perceive someone or something in the first place? This study in expression exists both beneath and beyond aesthetic, cultural and formal production, which in turn will naturally emerge as each individual learns to express their concept intertwined with their self. Painting in my class manifests itself conceptually in a creative trajectory: identity ~> process > visuality. It is the student's struggle to question and select materials and media best suited at that moment to connect observers with the observed. Their choices know only the borders set by their ability to imaginatively and resourcefully express themselves in art. hitp:/www.domdefacircle; http://aporee.org/equator; http://www.humbot.org; hitp://netmediao2.fh-pforzheim.de:8080 107
