Transition into
Creativity
Art has been a human tradition and practice since the beginning of time: from
cave paintings to the Impressionist era, to contemporary and modern art. It is
an important facet of our existence as humans and continues to grow and evolve
with technology and advances in society. The School of Fine Arts at Miami
University is also transitioning into a new art istic stage.
Starting in July, the School of Fine Arts will be rebranded as the School of
Creative Arts. The new name encompasses an expanded set of programs being
introduced to students, in addition to existing degree offerings in Architecture
& Interior Design, Art, Music, and Theatre. Some of these include a new de-gree in Interactive Media Studies with courses like video game design and web
design. The School of Creative Arts is an important addition to the artistic com-
munity at Miami. President David C. Hodge declared the 2011-12 school year
the Year of the Arts. Every year, the School of Fine Arts strives to inspire and
educate students by presenting more than 200 performances and exhibitions,
and this designation celebrates the history, present dynamism, and the exciting
new future for the arts as they embrace their new namesake.
Dr. James Lentini, Dean of the School of Creative Arts, explains that the
name change isnt so much a revamp as it is an extension of what they already do.
This name change is a part of a transformation to the future that not only in-
volves art making and arts education, but also connections with all disciplines.
The arts are important not only to arts majors but to what every student
needs to know about cultural awareness, education about different areas of the
world, and to learn how to do your craft better, no matter what it is, Lentini
says. This is a big change for us and an exciting change. Changing our name
to the School of the Creative Arts offers us a bridge across the gap to the other
disciplines here at Miami.
Miamis undergraduate video game design program, Digital Game Studies,
has already been recognized by the Princeton Review and GamePro Magazineas one of the Top 50 Undergraduate Game Design Programs in the United
States. The School of Creative Arts partners with other disciplines on campus
to offer Digital Game Studies, giving students the opportunity to engage more
in innovative creation of video games and programming. Other programs that
will be expanded include Arts Management, which is now an optional minor
for both arts and business students. If youre interested in being involved in an
arts field, but in a different capacity other than a hands-on artist, performer,
or designer, this opportunity gives you that edge. An Arts Management minor
could help graduates find jobs in museums, art galleries, artist management,
symphonies, dance companies and even community arts councils. Essentially,
this program creates a connection between the arts and business.
A lot of the popular collaborations are still available for young minds. Mi-amis Over-the-Rhine Residency Program was recognized with the Outreach
Scholarship and the national C. Peter Magrath University Community Engage-
ment Award. Another expanding staple is the Miami Design Collaborative.
Design is a huge area in the world right now, its exploding with all this
digital technology. Design could involve graphic design, interior design, engi-
neering and anything you could think of, Lentini explains. The collaborative
involves both instructors and students. Theyll take on a project, try to solve a
problem that they have, and then decide how to deliver the product. We expect
to develop it further.
The Performing Arts Series at Miami, which presents artists and entertain-
ers from around the world, is also here to stay. Past performers include the likes
of Philip Glass and Bla Fleck and the Flecktones. The School of Creative Arts
is also home to the Miami University Art Museum, which houses more than
16,000 pieces of art that students study and observe.
The arts have been part of human existence since the beginning, so a lot of
the things we do, like playing the violin or painting, wont change that much.
Those traditions are important to us, Lentini says. Along with those tradi-
tions, its about embracing the new opportunities we can give to our students,
faculty, and society that involves the arts. With the School of Creative Arts,we can be the catalyst to understanding how to utilize the arts to make better
communities and better education for everyone.

I wasnt sure exactly what it was when I was in high school. I knew that
when I looked at certain things, they would bother me, like crooked
picture frames. I did yearbook in high school and made some T-shirt
designs then and realized that meant that I was already doing graphic
design. My experiences made me seek out schools with good graphic
design programs and Miami was one of them. I loved it. I got a lot out
of it. As a result, I secured a job, even before I had graduated. I chose
Miami because I knew I was going to get a great education overall, andI think that as I went into the real world, people were impressed. They
said that they could tell that I had a great education in general. I wasnt
just going to an art school, but I had a great educational background
overall, and thats one of the biggest advantages of the School of Cre-
ative Arts here. It will be fun to see it grow and change. v
