Alli Jutras \u201919 learns in and out of the classroom with Media, Culture and the Arts program<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am one of the first. Of what, you ask? One of Clark’s first eight majors in Media, Culture and the Arts<\/a>, a new, interdisciplinary program introduced last semester where I focus on art as the center of my major while still immersing myself in other subjects.<\/p>\n

After my first semester at Clark, I transferred to the Maine College of Art, but felt nervous about choosing a major that focused entirely on art. I didn’t want to sacrifice my love for English, science and history. I returned to Clark last fall when I realized a liberal arts education as a new MCA major would allow me to best combine my interests as an artist and creative writer.<\/p>\n

As an MCA major, I study two disciplines within the Visual and Performing Arts Department<\/a> — I chose art history<\/a> and studio art<\/a> — while also exploring other subjects like physics and film studies. In classes for my major, I learn both media analysis and hands on practice as I discover topics relating to semiotics, modernity, and ideology in both the classroom and art studio.<\/p>\n

My artwork has evolved from drawing and painting to exploring other mediums like radio journalism, 2D design, video production, and photography. I feel fortunate to engage in creative classes while also learning about critical theory and taking part in media production workshops where I combine my passion for studio art with history and analysis.<\/p>\n

Clark’s student clubs and organizations also support my creativity. I love using my art, photography and technology skills with STIR, Clark’s art and culture magazine, to explain issues important to the on-campus and Worcester communities. Last semester, the magazine’s theme focused on “Sense,” and I wrote and designed pages titled “Sense of Style” and “Sense of Time” using collage. Being a member of a club geared towards my interests is such a rewarding experience. Not only do I get to hang out with and learn from talented and amazing artists and students, but I’m also able to pursue my interests outside the classroom.<\/p>\n

I’m watching my skills grow and evolve along with the MCA program. And I can’t wait to see where it takes me.<\/p>\n

When she isn’t in the art studio or working on STIR, Alli Jutras ’19 writes for <\/em>Clark Diaries<\/em><\/a>, a Tumblr blog snapshot of campus life, for Clark’s Undergraduate Admissions office. Look for her posts there and periodically on ClarkNow.<\/em><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
