01/16/2021 - Lecture: Qing Dynasty CeramicsAllie Arnell will talk about the beauty of Qing Dynasty porcelain.
The Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) in China was a time of great change and innovation, especially in the field of ceramics. Several early rulers of the Qing dynasty reinvigorated the ceramic industry. These rulers celebrated both the colorful glazes of several great moments of Chinese ceramic history and fresh approaches to color and glaze technique. Additionally several changes to the structure of the industry allowed innovations to flourish at this time. The result was an elegant array of colorful vessels that are still celebrated today. This talk will focus on the fascinating output of this artist ferment and will focus on the monochromatic, underglaze and polychrome decoration of Qing Dynasty porcelain ceramics

He will be joined by Kate Edwards, a specialist in content culturalization and 27-year veteran of the gaming industry who currently serves as executive director of the Global Game Jam, the world’s largest annual game creation event; and Dr. Constance Steinkuehler, an American professor of informatics at the University of California, Irvine, who currently researches the cognitive and social aspects of video games and gaming, and previously advised on policy matters about video games and learning in the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House Executive Office. The event will also feature two representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, with welcome remarks from Assistant Secretary of State Marie Royce and moderation by Joshua Shen, a strategic designer for interactive media and games.
Then, attendees will witness the concept in action, as high school students participate in the video game Among Us that promotes global dialogue and collaboration.
Local guests will have the option to purchase dinner from IRC MAKE. The Project is a social enterprise catering and food company. It was created to provide low-literacy refugee women the opportunity to learn critical job skills and vocational English in a real, on-the-job setting.
