Lawrence Garabed Der Hohannesian FRESHMAN FOUNDATION HIS is a college, yet it is something more, for here, not only an intellectual back- ground is acquired, but in each individual is instilled a realization of purpose. Purpose might well be considered one of the underlying motives of this school; thus we make it the theme of Portfolio ’51. | HE Freshman Foundation course proposes to lead the student to a greater understanding and awareness of the fundamental elements of design. Although each is given the opportunity to work creatively and according to his own intuitive instincts, he does so with the class as a whole. RICKETTS A i Baas AalT 3NVvi%? WHSTeOUd BACQ]YV SV HE student learns individually and with his classmates prin- ‘eee which he is to carry with him through the rest of his school and professional years. The theories of form, spacial relation- ships, structure, color and texture are applied practically until, at the conclusion of the year, the once-green freshman emerges with newly crystallized concepts of these ideas. From that time on he is a part of a smaller group in which a more individual purpose prevails. FINE ARTS 11 12 SOPHOMORE, beginning his course in the department of Painting, is not simply given a canvas, A oils, and brushes and told to paint. With instruction, he is helped to develop skills in the use of the tools and materials of the draughtsman and the painter; by exercise, he increases those sensibilities which are the basis of distinguished work in Fine Arts; by studying the techniques of the masters of the past, he learns to relate this accumulated technical and historical knowledge to his own work. Although he searches the works of centuries ago, he is encouraged to develop a contemporary point-of-view toward subject matter and treatment. With the guidance and stimulation of instructors, the student explores the possibilities of color and paint, gains a know- ledge of the principles of drawing and a reasonable skill in performance. Composition, anatomy, and life drawing are all correlated to assist him in the attainment of his ideals. Limitations are few as one progresses, for individuality is not suppressed, and the student grows along with his work toward the ultimate achievement of perfection in performance. se Illustration major is primarily concerned with those elements of drawing, painting, composition and design that will apply the principles of art to the requirements of trade and production. An effort is made to convey the fact that Illustration and the illustrative arts are an important part of everyday life and that their work belongs to the people in the fullest sense. The immense and potentially interested audience of the illustrator is fully recognized and explored, and the student is trained to keep that challenge in mind as well as the limitations and applications of production techniques. ad Dis Pk. SS. ht AS Ss} CoS SF SS HE Sculpture curriculum is designed to give a flexible and working knowledge of the arts which long practice and tradition have proven essential to the education of the student. The three year course develops the students’ ability and acu- men gradually, with efforts toward professional workmanship throughout. The student develops ability to design from his conceived sculptural image by full knowledge of the nature and the character of the material with which he is working. With this training it is hoped that each student will gain that inner understanding which will enable him to realize an active relationship with the world, wherein he may commute his ideas to others through his mature facility of expression. | | ae and guidance in ceramic processes, glazes, chemical formulae, and experimentation AAAS combine to lead the student in this department —-a RS SS AS to the stage in which he can be considered a . : . : : ' ceramic designer for industry, for himself, _ or for an instructorship in the field. . reser a Zo Zoe a4 (te One finds a challenge in this course to progress from the old concepts of applied surface dec- oration toward an understanding of inherent design. Imbued with a respect for his material, the stu- dent potter is helped to adapt ceramic design for mass-produc- tion, yet still allow his creations to retain a fine-arts feel rather than to become sterile and pol- luted by industry. Students who complete this course emerge with a realization of all three-dimen- sional design, capable of entering numerous other aspects of the field. JOHN E. ALCOTT chairman PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Ww. a need for beauty in everyday living the student of Industrial Design is prepared to interpret the functions of useful things in terms of visual appeal. The achievement of this end for himself and for the public necessitates not only talent, but technique. Nothing can create this talent, but through constructive teaching the student is able to circumvent many avoidable errors. With a definite concern for the consumer market, the student here is made conscious of three- dimensional form both in its practical and aesthetic aspects. It is here that he first combines theory and practice; as a designer he will become the liason between engineer and consumer. Robert E. Redmann | ee HE advertising designer is basically a salesman; graphically he must convince ) Beets of the desirability of one product over another. For three years the student of this department is guided through courses dealing with production problems, graphic arts processes, drawing, and typography with the ultimate goal of attaining the necessary skill and point-of-view to-sell. Those who have the stamina to complete this intensive training successfully emerge as competent indi- viduals, capable of entering professional practice and of handling the challenges of the field. It is hoped that some of these 1950 graduates “will be among the top advertising designers of 1970.” Melvin V. Chever James D. Herbert | HE world of fashion is an ever changing one, and it is the duty of the advertiser in this field to pre- sent attractively each new mode to the public. To capture the vitality of a live model and transfer it to paper and paint with all the smartness of a Paris creation — to show truthfully a cos- tume and yet surround it with a cer- tain amount of glamor—all this the fashion illustrator must learn to do effectively. Courses in drawing, figure construction, and advertising aid the student to acquire a keen sense of de- sign, perception, and style, which, plus skill in execution are necessary for success in this highly competitive field. 2 | rr | i a = = = ¢cheirman TEXTILES AND CLOTHING eS 4 ae thorough grounding the student of this department receives in fine arts plus the opportunity to see both woven and printed ideas carried into the finished fabric is the finest training one can undergo in prepa- ration for obtaining success in the textile design field. As did the weavers of the past, the stu- dents at first create fabrics on hand looms with practically no restrictions as to media. Then, since mass production is the best method of today, he learns to adapt his designs to power machines without losing the original feeling. The underlying purpose of this course is to make textile designers who are not only artists, but practical men who know and re- spect the limitations and potentialities of the power loom—men who can make the machine work for them. ‘lextile Desigu po ae i | i - NE of the most difficult courses in the textile curriculum, requiring a brilliant mind in the field of research, is the Textile Chemistry and Coloring major. Since they scientifically control all the. processes that go into the manufacture of fabrics, the graduates of this department must have a thorough knowledge of both cloth develop- ment and yarn manufacturing in addition to the training they receive in chemical dyeing, printing, and finishing. An extensive grounding in textile, organic and inorganic chemistry as well as courses in management, costing and industrial relations provide the students,with a well-rounded, balanced major which equips them for jobs in research, in charge of quality control, as skilled analysts, and other positions of responsibility in the industry. UCH must be learned and many skills acquired before an ML. individual is qualified to enter the textile field in an engineering capacity. Thus, the textile manufacturing cur- riculum provides its majors with just such necessary requirements. The advantage of thorough instruction coupled with access to modern manufacturing and testing devices imparts practical and technical information which would require long years to obtain in the actual field. The study of academic subjects such as calculus, psychology and personnel management adds to the student’s mental training and equips him with an accredited degree, an enviable possession among textile college graduates. He can there- fore look to the future confidently, knowing that his exceptional training will enable him to assume a position of leadership in a great and ever-growing industry. Mrs. Nelle W. Link HE clothing industry is the second largest in the T United States and one of the highest paid, but since the average age of responsible designers is about fifty-six, it is evident that new talent is needed. To qualify its majors for positions of leadership in the field, this department gives these prospective designers a thorough foundation and an accurate picture of all that takes place in the industry, employing methods that are used directly in the trade. Long and earnest hours are spent on the sixth floor of the Auditorium Building considering the various levels of production, from the low price mass-produced designs to the exclusive, expensive creations. Thus the student finds that upon graduation he is prepared to enter almost any phase of the apparel design field. Ernest H. Lichtblau NTERIOR DESIGN in R. LS. D. may no longer be as- SOciated with the field of interior decoration. The emphasis is on CreatiVesdesign. A thorough study of the principles of modern architecturejiconstruction and technology of materials prepares the student’for the complex task of planning the homes, public and business ‘enterprises of the future. A newly created Seminar, within this department, in which design and production are closely interrelated, provides the opportunity for the student to observe the growth of an idea from draw- ing board to actuality. | ARBLE walls and Colonial windows do not make a ture, but the freedom that is allowed nosphere in he can dual con- ¥ one gains in e form and pur- po gs instills in these de- signe desire and the ability to make of architecture a beautiful living thing, both in function and appearance. audscape pbruchitecture Base modern Landscape Architect, through cooperative planning with other specialists in many fields, works to design a better environment for living. Landscape Architecture is a field which has seen little real design development since the late nineteenth century. Today, technical training in architecture, road construction. drain ace lan deaf tiie hein materials and horticulture is coupled with such social sciences as history, economics, psychology and city planning. Two dimen- sional design on paper based on the under- standing of the client’s needs is translated into three dimensional reality. Now no longer an isolated “art”, Landscape Ar- chitecture has been integrated with the other phases of planning and has received a new and exciting impetus. RUDOLPH E. GRIFFIN chairman DiETZ6E: mits 120730 20 ENACITY and clear thinking characterize the students of machine design as | Bees plot the rotations, loci, and reciprocations of the basic mechanisms, and later combine these elements for a specifie purpose. For the movements thus de- veloped, adequate strength of members must be assured through proper calculation and knowledge of materials. Methods of production and manufaeture are acquired through the operation of power equipment and the use.of hand tools in the working of both wood and metal. Thus deyelops the practice requiredsto build a successful career in machine design. Originally keyed to the local machine tool industries, the mechanical program now places q ualified men ‘in varied technical fields that include the armament, elec- trical manufacturing and aircraft industries. TEACHER EDUCATION Not merely to instruct children how to draw, but to instill in them the realization that art is a way of life and that it permeates the whole of school curric- ulum — this is the goal of the major in the Teacher Education department. MRS. FRANK R. VON STORCH chairman Sah | Dee prospective teachers spend four years majoring in some other subject, a fact which broadens their scope and adds greatly to their dignity, for it puts them on a professional status in some art field other than teaching. The last year is full of courses such as educational psychology, phil- osophy, sociology and history of education, preparing the student for a career of guiding the thoughts and attitudes of youthful minds. O make the classroom as interesting and stimulating as possible for their students the majors of this course are trained to become adept at planning exhibitions, arranging bulletin boards, and designing libraries and playgrounds. These schemes are made manifest in skillfully executed small scale models. N DECEMBER 2, 1949, Rhode Island School of Design became a senior college member of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and a member of the American Council on Education. It also has been added to the approved list of accredited schools by the U. S. Air Force, the Marine Corps, and the U. S. Navy. The school accepts these appointments with pride, since it is one of the few institutions of its type in the country to receive such honors. All this is made possible by the fact that each student is required to take a group of subjects known as Academics. To many this is not an advantage, but an ordeal that one must necessarily endure. However, at the termination of these courses, one suddenly becomes aware of a greater knowledge within himself. He realizes that he has acquired a design education as well as a design training, that he is not only a craftsman with trained hands, but also a rational individual with a trained mind, that he is an entity who can think as well as do, and who can make a valuable contribution to his community as well as to his profession. John Alford art history i Edwin I, Lamont : english Edward S. Brackett, Jr. economics Francis J. Deignan psychology Donald W. Hurd mathematics and physics ACADEMICS KK” us college has been away of life for four years; it will be a way of thought for many more. It has been a source of friend- ship, a stimulus for learning, and a trainer of talents. We shall not again be a part of a community in which all are united by a single purpose — that of moulding the pattern for the future. The youngness and the freshness of college we will not meet again. But since knowledge is only the means and action the end, we leave Rhode Island School of Design with diplomas and hopes, anxious for the chance to try ourselves; but we know that someday we shall look back as did Prince Karl to “Golden Days’.

By sponsoring such events as Take-a-break weekend, and various clubs, it has done much to promote and maintain school spirit. Through its efforts and support, the Athletic Association acquired the old Bank Building as a much needed recreational area. To help create interest and support in the organization, the student council now awards keys to those members who have not missed more than three meetings as an indication of their service to the student body. 86 HE Athletic Association has become one of the most active organi- zations in the school, continuing to promote interest in both indoor and outdoor activities, and helping the student to enjoy to the fullest that phase of his college life. The association made one of its greatest gains within this past year — the acquisition of the old Bank Building which has been converted to a gym for the exclusive use of all its members. There one can find facilities for basketball, handball, volleyball, ping-pong, and pool; even showers are available. Hockey, swimming, softball, golf, tennis, and badminton are still under the successful guidance of the Athletic Association. 87 y 88 ‘L.. Ski Club has become one of the largest and’most popular student activities at R.I.S.D., largely because of its varied program for both the skier and non-skier. Its main purpose is in bringing the healthful recreation of skiing to the student body through movies, lectures, and organized ski trips. The big events this year were the. trips to Stowe, Vermont at Christmas (at which there was a noticeable lack of that white stuff) and the mid- semester trek to Cannon Mountain. The latter trip will be remembered as one of the biggest trips in the history of the club as over forty members spent a weekend skiing on the slopes and trails of Cannon Mt., North Conway, and North Woodstock. HE one weekend of the year when throwing one’s work aside and forgetting deadlines is sanctioned by the administration (it should happen more often)! Take-a-break of 751 started Friday night with a formal din- ner and dance at the Narragansett Hotel, where Marge Nyberg was crowned queen of the weekend. Satur- day noon, early risers saw the hockey team valiantly lose 6 to 5 to Rhode Island State, after which many partici- pated themselves in the public skating in the arena. The Varicose Varieties started Saturday night’s activities with hilarious laughter, which afterward continued at a congenial informal dance at Rhodes Annex. That terrific Dixieland jam session in the “caf” Sun- day afternoon officially drew to a close the wonderful weekend of February Oth, 10th, and 11th. = ee high time we began to revel’-with this highly acceptable suggestion, accompanied by a most attractive chorus (which wouldn’t be the same without Buttsy’s eye-rolling), Varicose Varieties of ’51 got off to a wonderfully entertaining start. Pete Clarke did it again with his interpretation of a struggling artist applying for a job, and the Williams St. Wonders were wonderful as ludicrous acrobats in “long johns”. Something a little different this year was the ballet of Frankie and Johnny — serious, yet comical, and highly enjoyable. emg yotts BADER After some hesitation, Bob Black and Mike Stang finally met as John and Marcia, with some decidedly hilarious results, and poor Scotti provoked a series of laughs when she sang of “waiting for his phone call for 18 years!” The acts produced by the dorms, their own individual treatments of nursery rhymes, were all of top quality, but Congdon triumphed with their presentation of ‘“Pandora’s Box”. Bob Engman was exceptional as Master of Ceremonies and did a beautiful job of keeping things moving and helping to make this show a memorable one in another successful Take-a-Break weekend. T HE spell of multi-faceted “Show Biz” seems to attract more and more citizens each year to the organization that expertly assembles the memorable theatrical events presented periodically on the Auditorium stage. There’s always plenty to be done in the complex business of creating a new RISDrama and it provides a natural outlet for the untapped creative talents of everyone from scene-builder to scene-stealer. Top-notch pro- fessional supervision and an ever-present enthusiasm from all those concerned combine to produce such vivid high-spots as the fast-paced acting sparkle of the “Blithe Spirit” cast, the stimulating novelty of the Theatre-in-the- ; ‘ Wee Round plays and the imaginative artistry of the “Liliom” sets. (Those Drama Club Socials rate rave notices, too. ) L is a land where cannibals dance with chorus girls, cavemen con- verse with men from Mars, ginger- bread cookies walk, rabbits talk, and inanimate objects suddenly become alive. It seems like a fantastic dream, but actually it is the Bal Masque—the dance where people become some- thing they are not. This year the most ingenious among the costumes was a two-storied totem pole; the most laughter was evoked by a walking out- house accompanied by a Sears- Roebuck catalogue, while many were held spellbound by the beautiful re- semblance of the Pharaoh and his magnificent queen to actual Egyptian stone carvings. With its walls flanked by abstract paintings and its ceiling lowered with crepe paper streamers, the “caf” was transformed into a sort of museum of modern art, and once again the Junior class presented a Bal Masque which lived up to the standard set by preceding ones. eer INES among extra-curricular get-togethers is the recently-chartered Photo Club. Though still officially in its first year, the shutterbugs have already established themselves on the premises as a vital, fast-growing organization. Capacity turn-outs can always be found at the stimulating lectures on techniques by local professionals, at club-spon- sored photo exhibits and on camera field trips. Pride of the organization is the brand-new, fully-equipped darkroom which has contributed greatly to the high standards of camerawork evident in PORTFOLIO ’51. Camera Hub aud “Film Society SN its introduction two years ago at RISD, the unique series of motion pictures leased from New York’s Museum of Modern Art has proved to be one of the school’s most popular offerings. Spanning the short but eventful history of cinematic development from the earliest years of this century up to the present day, the films are of artistic as well as his- torical interest. Viewing the out-dated but trend-setting efforts of Griffith, Chaplin, Eisenstein or Mack Sennett offers a stimu- lating glimpse at the unbounded creative possibilities of this relatively new artistic dimension. 97 OW in it’s second year, the Society of Mechanical Design is continuing its function of better acquainting the stu- dent with modern production methods. To supplement formal technical training, engi- neers and specialists from industry present “the other side of the picture”. This is in- deed an organization founded with an eye to the future. The Society seeks also to succor the social side by such activities as supervised star- gazing through the courtesy of Brown’s Professor Smiley, and the spring dinner- dance, for all members and their guests. The Society wishes to acknowledge its thanks to Edwin Ormondroyd, whose ef- forts are largely responsible for its organi- zation. E. Goldstein A. Newell R. Rothacker M. Chookazian R. Ireland A. Titzler A. Ciavatta W.Wagenecht W.Lemos_ T. Giusti D. Yale D. Francis C. Williams D. Benson D. Gaskill OING into its second year of ex- istence, the Textile Club has a short but laudable history. By showing films on current textile problems, and by inviting leading men of the industry to speak, the club has provided success- fully the first common meeting ground for students, alumni, faculty, and pro- fessional men. Here the student can gain additional and supplementary ma- — terial to that taught in the classroom. The club also has its social activities, and one of the high spots in its curricu- lum this year was the highly successful Sadie Hawkins dance, where many a jug 0’ moonshine was a-toted by various Lil Abners and Daisy Maes, a-showing their perty knees. T. inform—to coordinate—and to in- spire—these were the three aims of the founders of SPECTRUM when they began to organize the new RISD student mag- azine. SPECTRUM is an attempt on the part of the student body to acquaint one another with the various activities of the different departments in the school, by nnn SOG —_ | gathering and distributing information iy = about these activities throughout the school. : In addition to these functions, SPECTRUM also serves as a vehicle for studént expres- sion in both the graphic arts and writing. EWLY founded by the students of Landscape Architecture, In- terior Design, and Architecture, the RISD Architectural Society had by mid-term elected all ten of its student directors, and from them chosen its Officers. A part of the society’s program, to quicken interest and broaden student experience in their related fields of study, was initiated with a lecture on “The New Approach to City Planning” by Professor Christopher Tunnard, Director of Planning Studies at Yale University. The rapid progress of the society in organizing and programming is already producing substantial returns Min ef ) va tie toward an active and valuable supple- ment to the design curriculum. 5 = i Sramcsecs tes ed Wa etn N = + bY SPER ALY Re IDOE Ba Ze gS 5s WE ah Brag fe ss OG UII Rag 8 SOP YES Oe gre ae ih Bits ry 2 Ben : SU Heke!

A dormitory means many things — a home away from , home (and what a family!) endless activity, studies and social life, bridge “ games, coke and chatter, fire drills, mail call, roommates and friends, a 3 kindly housemother — especially and above all — girls. Girls in jeans and Ayan carrying life drawings, paintings, plaster monstrosities — girls in furs and heels and perfume, looking like queens for that special date waiting (for hours) downstairs. The dormitory is subject to changing moods — quiet on study nights 3 - and exam week — excited and noisy when there is a dance or dorm skit ® on the fire — lonesome and strangely quiet during vacations. Amazing things happen to a house when it’s inhabited by designing women.
