After all, your town has such a rich and interesting history, and there are some artists and craftspeople living in the area. You decide to approach the City Council Chair to voice your concerns, but he informs you that the library is on a tight budget, and he doesn’t see the need to spend too much of tax payers money on “decorations.” You now plan to attend the next City Council meeting to convince the town to do more with the exhibiting space at the library, and that it doesn’t have to be expensive if the displays are cultivated from regional resources.

They explain that there is no money in the budget. You hear about a grant opportunity. Every year, a wealthy resident of your town, Mr. Brown, offers a grant of $10,000 to one local organization. In the past, he has never given this grant to an arts organization because, in the words of another board member, “Mr. Brown does not think the arts are important.” If you can change Mr. Brown’s mind about the importance of the arts in your community, you might just get the grant and be able to revitalize the town’s cultural arts scene!

This year, your coworkers and you received an email asking what kind of team building event you would like to attend. You responded that you would like to attend the world-renowned Flamenco dance performance that will take place in your city in a few months.

Scenario Your company is one of several that hopes to land an international contract with MagnifiCo, a large corporation overseas. You have recently learned that Company X, who is competing for the same overseas contract, has received some negative publicity for their lack of cultural literacy among employees. An embarrassing video has gone viral showing an American employee from Company X awkwardly fumbling through a business dinner with foreign associates. First, he insulted the lack of air conditioning in the foreign restaurant, then he nervously laughed in the middle of their prayer, and finally he nearly spit out the dinner dish he was served! The business deal was doomed. When you watched the video, you almost took pity on this American businessman clearly so out of his element. But then, you noticed in the background of the video that the entire dinner was taking place in a beautiful building; there was gothic vaulting on the ceiling, finely detailed mosaic tile on the floor, and intricate fresco painting on the wall next to their table. There was classical music playing in the background— perhaps Baroque? If the American had noticed any of these things, he could have asked his dinner companions about them. If he had learned a little about this country’s culture, he could have even made intelligent conversation about his surroundings and possibly impressed and connected with his colleagues instead of insulting them with awkward behavior. Instructions You are tasked creating a learning presentation for your colleagues on multicultural art relating to MagnifiCo’s geographic location(s) to be delivered at your next office meeting. You may choose the geographic location(s) for MagnifiCo. NOTE - Depending on your choice(s), there may be more or less distinguishing information available. For example, if you choose a large distinct nation, you may find an abundance of information for all 15 of your slides. If you pick a small isolated culture, you may need to a second or third culture in order to have enough information for 15 slides.

Scenario You just opened a small company and got your first contract to design a new product. You divided your employees up into two teams of three to see who could come up with the best new designs. You gave them a week to work. As you observed their work, you noticed how noisy it was in your open-plan space. You also noticed some arguing, and one of your best designers had to go home early with a migraine. After a week of work, you called the teams back to see what they accomplished and you were very disappointed. The designs were just not up to standard. When you asked your workers what the problem was, they had a long list of issues with the workspace. You know you need to revamp your office if your company is going to be successful, but you need to take inventory before you can begin improvements. Instructions Design an informational infographic to help employers evaluate their workplace environment. Infographic must include: At least 5 qualities of a creative workplace, with text and graphics.At least 5 obstacles to workers’ creativity, with text and graphics. Deliverable 7 - Office Redesign Recommendations Portfolio Competencies Determine the historical impact of art on modern culture, society, and the workplace.Identify the role of music, poetry, prose, and visual art in the modern world and workplace.Utilize art elements in real-world contexts and the workplace.Apply strategies for evaluating different art forms in various contexts.Explain how art contributes to problem solving skills and idea creation in personal and professional experience.Identify how art benefits wellness and creativity in the community and workplace. Scenario You are an independent contractor who has been hired by a multinational technology company to increase productivity at one branch office. The location in question is failing miserably and your contract with this company is a last ditch effort to bring this location’s productivity up, or else it will be shut down. The designers haven’t submitted a good, usable design to headquarters in months. When you begin your work figuring out what’s going wrong, you immediately see many red flags. Records show that employees call in sick frequently, come in late, leave early, and several complaints between employees have been filed by Human Resources. When you visit the office, you are immediately struck by what a dismal environment you see. Florescent lights flicker over beige cubicles, ambient noise of machines buzzing and phones ringing fills your ears, and employees look bored and tired. You notice only one communal work space piled over with old projects and clutter. The supply room is sparse. The break room is small and cluttered, and nobody is using it. You decide to interview employees and learn some alarming information; employees mostly work alone, do not seem to know each other well, some outright dislike one another, they report having no fun or enjoyment while at work, and some suffer chronic work-related health problems such as migraines and back pain. You notice wonderful diversity among employees, yet nobody seems to appreciate or understand the unique perspectives of their colleagues. It is clear to you that this office is not conducive to the kind of creative collaboration necessary to pull it out of its slump. Using what you know about the importance of art in the world and workplace, you will come up with a plan to solve these problems. Instructions Assemble a portfolio of recommendations on how to turn this office from a non-productive location to a creative hub of productivity. Portfolio should include the following parts: Part 1 Compose an introduction (1-2 paragraphs) indicating the historical impact of art on modern culture, society, and the workplace.

Each area in the workspace must be clearly numbered and the following questions answered: How will this space be used and by whom?What Elements of Art and Principles of Design will be used in this space?How does the space promote creativity and collaboration?How will the arts be used to promote creativity and well-being? Part 4 Create a descriptive resource list with contact data of at least six funding possibilities for art events. Each resource should briefly explain the resource and how the employer might use it.

Base on this video, Finding negative corporate role models is easy and discussion topics about them may be therapeutic. Who doesn't like blasting Bernie Madoff, Wall Street, or the big banks?! Seems that is good for our collective soul. However, for this week's DT, let's step back to Chapter 3 and consider the case of Malden Mills (Case 7, page 132, et seq.). You will find references to Aaron Feuerstein and Malden Mills in several sections of our textbook. Take a bit of time to reread those passages. The issue of corporate obligations to internal and external stakeholders could consume the balance of this term. However, the case of Malden Mills and its CEO, Aaron Feuerstein, strikes close to home for the area of Alabama in which UNA is located; an area that has been deeply impacted by the decline in the US textile industry and associated jobs. More than one mill owner has gone bankrupt trying to stay in business only to eventually close the plant doors for good. With Malden Mills, we have the luxury of hindsight, knowing how Aaron Feuerstein's gamble paid off---striving to protect his employees but going into bankruptcy. Was he right; that is, was his decision-making sound? Knowing what you know, how would you have advised him?
