Owner: Form:uLA Dimension Laboratories

The work of Form:uLA recognizes + celebrates movement and makes an attempt to explore the relationship between physical environment, inhabitant, and observer. Process and methodology are the strong areas of pursuit in both my studio and teaching approach. We attempt to define the solving of problems without becoming a slave to style or aesthetic convention. Having limited precedence, my work seeks to bring the association between architecture and the culture of technology into sharper focus.

My pedagogical approach has always been one of PROCESS. Shape grammars, formal transformations, and Hyperspace theory temper the majority of my studio projects, regardless of the program involved. I have taught design studios in Environmental Design, Architecture, and Digital Theory/Design for the last 9 1/2 years @ CSUF. My studio's recent inclusion into the Permanent Collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a testimony to the rigorous intellectual approach I take with academic conditions and theoretical endeavors.

At an early age, Andrew Dickson was involved in art and spent hours drawing from imagination. He was influenced by the artwork of his mother, Annette Dickson, and through her became familiar with landscape painters: Milford Zornes and Joella Mahoney. Later while pursuing another vocation, he attended a painting workshop with Zornes. This experience inspired Andrew and challenged him to pursue a career in art with conviction. With little formal training, he began a daily routine of painting outdoors along the coastline of the Monterey Peninsula where he grew up. During that time he benefited from the critical feedback and encouragement of professional painter and award winning filmmaker Rick Harper. Not long after, Andrew was accepted in the graduate program at California State University Long Beach where he completed his MFA. At Long Beach, Andrew had the unique privilege to study drawing and painting with Domenic Cretara and his graduate committee chair Yu Ji. Andrew’s aesthetic ideas and studio practice were profoundly influenced by Yu Ji’s teaching which emphasized the significance of the drawing process and the use of structural line to articulate immediate visual experiences. Since then, Andrew’s work has been featured in American Artist and continues to be exhibited regionally and nationally. He has taught drawing and painting at California State University, Long Beach, The Palos Verdes Art Center, and Huntington University in Indiana. Andrew currently works as an Assistant Professor of Foundation Painting at California State University Fullerton. In his teaching, Andrew is committed to providing a fundamental practice and understanding of concepts, materials, and methods of painting with an emphasis on clear visual perception to each student he has the privilege of working with.

I received my undergraduate degree in Applied Media Arts from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania; earning my MFA in Film Production at the University of Southern California. I've been employed by a variety of studios in the animation industry; serving as a storyboard artist, designer, animator, digital artist and digital animator. I've drawn characters, such as Pooh and Tigger, the Genie, Hercules, Larry Boy (of the Veggie Tales), and more. In 2000, I co-founded an animation studio, FlashBang Studios; we provide a variety of animation services for the web, TV, direct to video and DV.

As much as I've enjoyed the various animation projects I've had the privilege to be a part of, I've always derived a tremendous amount of pleasure and satisfaction through teaching. In 2002 I was hired to teach animation at Cal State Fullerton. In addition to teaching courses in the Entertainment Art Animation concentration, I was also brought on to introduce and teach new 3d animation courses featuring Alias Wavefront's Maya animation software.

Having a strong traditional animation and film background, I teach traditional animation and filmmaking techniques; focusing on developing the students understanding of animation as a storytelling medium, with an emphasis on personality, character oriented animation. I have a great appreciation for the art of animation as it has been developed at studios such as Disney and Warner Brothers; and explored by organizations such as the National Film Board of Canada; knowledge of the history of animation is a fundamental part of the introductory animation courses I teach.

In his teens, Christian Hill had his first comics published while living in Europe. He received his Bachelor’s in Art History from University of Missouri, Columbia and his Master’s of Fine Arts in Illustration from CSUF. For the last few years, he has championed the study of the art of the graphic novel, especially for younger readers, at conferences and universities across the country (Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, University of Central Florida, UCLA Extension, San Diego Comic-Con, College Art Association, and more). In 2003, he contemplated the untapped potential of comic art in the gallery and pioneered a new form of comics: gallery comics. Gallery comics are comics for the wall rather than for the page. They combine the textual, visual, and narrative dimensions of comic art with the experience of viewing paintings and prints. The New York Society of Illustrators and the Laguna Art Museum recently exhibited Hill’s art, and Entertainment Weekly reviewed his most famous gallery comics, “Stars, Crosses, and Stripes.” His comics have appeared in anthologies (Parables, ________ Are Fun to Draw), and he has also freelanced for 10 years as an illustrator and web artist for Disney, the Smithsonian, and many dot coms. He frequently contributes articles on the medium of graphic novels to the International Journal of Comic Art and in other publications. He volunteers with the National Association of Comic Art Educators. He is busy working on a children’s graphic novel project.

Throughout my career the focus of my creative activity has been to problem solve for two distinctly different audiences. As an illustrator and graphic designer I have in a very purposeful way served the needs of corporate, advertising, publication, and institutional accounts such as Grey Advertising, CBS Publications, the University of California, Pomona College, the Irvine Company, the Southern California Metropolitan Water District and Southern California Edison. Concurrent with that work I have always produced personal drawings that express lyrical and romantic impressions of the world around me, whether it is nature shaped by natural and/or human actions or witnessing the daily activities of people going about their lives.

I have participated in over thirty-five national exhibitions. The majority of these have been competitive juried venues for illustrators and artists specializing in works on paper. Special satisfaction has accompanied the receipt of awards of excellence, juror's awards and publication in American Artist magazine’s Drawing Highlights in 1998. My illustrations have been exhibited at the American Museum of Illustration in New York City and in the Los Angeles Society of Illustrators annual Illustration West competitions. My drawings have been included in exhibitions at the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Palm Springs Desert Museum and the Laguna Art Museum as well as galleries in San Francisco, Phoenix, St Louis, Bethesda Maryland and university galleries throughout the nation.

I have served for the past nine years as Chair of the Visual Arts Department.

Statement

I am a figurative artist, and diminish the distinction between the fine arts and popular arts, and emphasize the commonality among all the figurative arts, including film, theater, figurative sculpture and literature. My work and teaching is based on integrating the direct experience of drawing and working from the model with knowledge and expressive intention. I apply that combination of concerns to story and the opportunity for character and action. I strongly encourage the application of figurative abilities to everything from fine arts painting to cartooning to illustration to portraiture. I am particularly interested in collaboration, common ground and accessibility in the arts. The enterprise of figurative art from Egypt to Greece, Mexico to Hollywood expresses the ideals and aspirations of society...and provides meaningful, professional opportunities for artists.

Dana Lamb received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Illustration from California State University, Fullerton. Dana established a design and illustration company in 1975 with clients ranging from entertainment and publishing to advertising and marketing firms.

Professor Lamb's diversity in style and content has allowed him to publish illustrations in books and magazines from Cycle World to Yosemite National Park's quarterly newsletters. He has received awards from both the Los Angeles and New York chapters of the Society of Illustrators over the years.

His company expanded in the 1980's to include packaging design and marketing graphics with clients ranging from UPS to Apple Corporation.

In 1982, Professor Lamb was hired by the Art Department to teach courses in graphic design and illustration as well as coordinate the integration of the first Macintosh¨ computers into the graphic design curriculum. Six years and three computer laboratories later, Professor Lamb began an Entertainment Art and Animation program at California State University, Fullerton. Within six years, this new program was selected by Walt Disney Company to be one of eighteen schools worldwide for membership in their prestigious "Disney Partners in Education" program. Within the same time period Professors Lamb's Entertainment Art and Animation program was also selected by Warner Brothers Feature Animation Division to participate as one of five schools nationwide in a unique educational collaboration entitled "ACME Online". For the last four years, we have co-taught advance principles of traditional animation through live and fully interactive telecommunications sites throughout the country with the professional animators, background artists, character developers at Warner Brothers in Glendale, California giving lessons via electronic classrooms located in our media center.

Professor Lamb's graduates have now been placed in every major animation studio in Southern California area with many in key positions of character animation, storyboard, layout and story development. The key to our success is the foundation of superior drawing skills, conceptual development, animation fundamentals and an active internship program.

Elisa C. Mandell, Assistant Professor of Art History, graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a B.A. in Anthropology, specializing in Archaeology. She returned to UCLA for her Ph.D. in Art History. Trained as a Pre-Columbianist, her dissertation on posthumous portraits of infants and children in Mexican art reflects her current research interests in funerary rituals, photography, and national identity. Professor Mandell’s other research interests include gender, post-colonialism, hybridity, masquerade, and the history of museum exhibition.

Professor Mandell’s objectives as a teacher are to share and impart her enthusiasm for the history of art to students while simultaneously fostering critical thinking, not only about assigned readings, but also about how the art, culture, and civilizations of the non-West are viewed by the West. Using an interdisciplinary approach that synthesizes art, history, literature, anthropology, and archaeology, students are challenged to be powerful in their thinking, writing, and problem solving. Professor Mandell teaches a diverse range of topics, including surveys of Pre-Columbian art history and the history of world art. She also offers a seminar that examines how the art of marginalized peoples, particularly those from former European and U.S. colonies, have been exhibited in Western museums. Professor Mandell is developing four courses to teach in the near future: the art of the Aztecs and their predecessors; a survey of Latin American art; the art and architecture of Mexico City from the Aztec to the present; and an advanced course on the Maya. She has presented her research at interdisciplinary conferences in the United States, Mexico, and Ecuador, and was a fellow in the six-week 2006 NEH Summer Institute, "Maya Worlds: on-site in Chiapas, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize.” Professor Mandell is a former marathoner and collegiate cyclist.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Animation at Rhode Island School of Design. After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to work as a storyboard artist on Family Guy at Fox TV Animation. I went on to storyboard at other studios, such as MTV, the Discovery Channel, Disney and Dreamworks, and worked at studios producing content for the web, including Disney Online and Neopets.

My early teaching experiences include teaching drawing classes to the public at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. I returned to school and earned my MFA in Drawing at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. While living in New England, I taught drawing and animation classes at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and became the Artist-in-Residence at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

In 2007, I was hired to teach animation at California State University Fullerton. My traditional animation work experience greatly influences my teaching style, however I have also created independent animated films and believe in developing my students’ creativity in addition to their technical skills. Understanding and appreciating animation in all its varied formats is an important part of what I teach.
