Theron Humphrey (M.F.A., photography, 2007) has “This Wild Idea”. He wants to travel around the United States for 365 days to meet people and share their stories through photography and social media. He recently finished a project, “This Wild Idea: 30 Stories.30 Days.Traversing America”, where he drove across America in 30 days meeting one new person a day and sharing their stories. Now, Humphrey wants to take the project to the next level by extending it in length to one year, visiting all 50 states, and even allowing fans and followers the opportunity to change his route via social media and become part of the story. To learn more about the project and what it will take to pull it off, visit the Kickstarter page for “This Wild Idea: 365 Stories.365 Days.Traversing America”.

On Day 17 Humphrey met Bess Isaac of Clayton, New Mexico. The Isaac family has owned R W Isaacs Hardware Company since the 1890s and the next closest place to purchase supplies is fifty miles away. Bess studied nursing at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, was married 47 years, had three boys and still runs the hardware store to this day. She even shared a really great story about fermenting apple cider so she and her friends could celebrate their graduation! Meeting people like Bess and sharing their stories reminds us what the American spirit is all about!

SCAD Atlanta is looking to build on the present community education program that has earned its place in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, offering art courses to the community for 106 years! Our current focus is to expand course selection and attract an even broader audience. The goal is to introduce courses with which community members will relate, while living within the same structure as SCAD’s art and design programs. Would you be interested in teaching a community education course?

CE courses are offered quarterly and are open to teens and adults who want to experience SCAD’s high educational standards. Courses are offered in both class (one evening a week for four weeks) and workshop (a single weekend class, six hours in length) formats. If interested in teaching, submit original course proposals to Robin Morris. Instructor pay is $20/hr and instructors will have the potential to be hired quarterly.
