SUMMARY:"Hands On" Workshop and Demo
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required\nSign-up by 01/25\nLimited to 15 participants\nFee: $10.00 for materials fee \nLearn how to draw the hand and why you couldn’t do it before. \nThe hands represent unique challenges to both the beginning and intermediate artist. By approaching drawing and observation through a different lens\, we will overcome many of these obstacles. This course focuses on underlying structure and the process of observation\, rather than relying on anatomical instruction. Learn how to translate the hand that you see onto paper using pencil and graphite. \nThis workshop will meet once and consists of: \n• Drawing demonstration with a step-by-step explanation\n• Drawing tools and material demonstration\n• Drawing the hand from observation\n• Individual feedback from the instructor \nOnline payment of the enrollment fee reserves a spot: http://mauriciocordero.com/instruction/#pay \nContact: Mauricio Cordero\, mcordero@mit.edu

SUMMARY:SO BAD IT'S GOOD: An Introduction to Media Analysis Through Watching Bad Media
DESCRIPTION:Kaelan Doyle Myerscough \nEnrollment: contact kaelandm@mit.edu before day you plan to attend\nLimited to 20 participants\nAttendance: Participants are encouraged\, but not required\, to attend all three sessions \nWhat is it that makes watching so-called “trashy TV” so fun? What does it mean for a film to be “so bad it’s good?” In such a saturated media landscape\, what makes us seek out and enjoy the worst of it? And what is with all of those screenings of The Room? \nIn this three-day course\, we will watch and analyze bad media as an introduction to media studies concepts and fields. Each class will consist of a screening and an extended discussion. \nContact: Kaelan Doyle Myerscough\, kaelandm@mit.edu \n\nThe Room\nTuesday\, Jan 23\n03:00PM-06:00PM \nThe Room: The Anatomy of a Good-Bad Movie. We’ll stage a screening of The Room complete with plastic spoons and a football\, then talk about what makes the film so enjoyably bad\, why people think this is\, and the fandom that has cropped up around it. \n\nKeeping Up with the Kardashians\nWednesday\, Jan 24\n03:00PM-05:00PM \nKeeping Up with the Kardashians: Reality TV\, social media\, and “trashiness.” We’ll use the Kardashian empire to talk about how and in what contexts people watch TV and consume social media\, and how the contemporary internet landscape has reshaped reality TV. \nMonster Factory\nThursday\, Jan 25\n03:00PM-05:00PM\nMonster Factory: Bad games and the art of making fun of them. What makes bad games enjoyable\, and how is this different from bad film and television? We’ll watch a few works by YouTube creators to figure this out\, and then get our hands dirty with character creators and make some monsters of our own.
