Preparing and Promoting








The system at MUM is that you teach in Blocks. So, students can always concentrate on one subject at a time and get deep into the field they choose. Every month you choose the course you are majoring in. I will be teaching Painting 1, 2 and 3. Some people will attend all 3 months, some just one or two. It definitly depends how they like my first month:)
The art department asked me to design the posters(thanks I.G.!) for my courses...so here you go:

Step One: ADJUSTMENT to Silence, Deers and Squirrels!



Straight from Berlin to Fairfield, Iowa, I did need some time to get settled and live a total different lifestyle than I am used to.
This University is specialized on conciousness based education. Which means that they try to connect every academic field to the students self and don´t see it as something separate. This includes a daily routine of meditation and yoga. Moreover they are focused on organic food(all the food in the "mensa" is organic!) and sustainable living on the whole campus. I have to say that through this support of healthy living and the spread of positivity the atmosphere on campus is very friendly and open.
