TEMPLAR ANNUAL 1999 TYLER SCHOOL OF ART by Mary Steele Tucked away in Elkins Park, the highly acclaimed Tvler campus is the outlet for Temple University artists in every medium, from paintings to glass blowing. Despite an unhappy response from the students, Tyler will be moving to North Philadelphia to join Main campus in the year 2000. The move is being made in an effort to consolidate the two schools, giving students a greater feeling of unity. However, many Tyler students prefer their quiet, sub- urban ha en. The campus draws students, said Travis Scott, a ceramics major and the president of the Creative Expression Series at the Tyler campus. Not only has Tyler drawn students, but some big names in the arts world as well. Many exciting events occured on campus in the 1998-99 school year, including guest speakers such as director John Waters, special effects expert Camille Cellucci, ani- mator Bill Plvmptom (known for his work on MTV and in the GEICO commercials), and Bob Fisher, a ris- ing star in the art world.

THE END THE BEGINNING Waters, who ' s best known for his outrageous movies such as Pink Flnnungos and Hairspray, gave his perspective on the art world. Waters advised students that using shock value only to get the attention of an audience is immature if it doesn ' t focus attention on important issues. Waters showed film photography stills and signed autographs for the large and enthu- siastic crowd. Camille Cellucci, special effects chief for the movie Titanic, spoke of the time and tireless effort it took to do the special effects in a feature length film like Titanic. The students also saw clips from the press packet of the movie. Fisher, who has works on permanent display at the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Museum, discussed, How to market your- self and how to do what you love and get paid for it. Students were treated further when New York tattoo artist Matty Jankowski discussed the tech- niques and other issues associated with tattooing, jankowski showed the audience how to use henna for tattooing. The year ended with the Spring Students Exhibition held in April. Students had the chance to display their best work to the public, and gain some exposure. Artwork by Tyler students can also be viewed at Tyler Gallery and Penrose Gallery on cam- pus, or the Temple Art Gallery on 2nd St. in Olde City during special exhibitions.
