Games are Art: How Making Games Makes Us Better People

will demonstrate why games are the most empowering art form for the 21st century and how

You'll see some of the most exciting and bold games being made today in the indie and game
art scene - evidence of the medium's ascendancy in expressing complex ideas and emotions and we'll look at how game making can become a dynamic part of your art curriculum. Get
ready for some bold claims about the power of games and some real world examples and
stories from the creative frontier of game design to back them up! Regardless of whether you
are able to integrate the examples into you own teaching, you're guaranteed to see some new
things and never think about games the same way again. Co-sponsored by the Alliance for

We Are Penn State: Healing in the Shadow of a Climate of Silence
Current and former Penn State Art Education Students and Faculty, with James Rolling, Jr.,
moderator.
This session is a conversation with Art Education faculty and students to discuss how and what
we, our students and our community, are doing in the shadow of the tragic series of events that
have resulted from the child molestation allegations at our university. The session is not limited
to Penn State alone, but is intended to serve as a public space where art education faculty and
students from across the nation and internationally can gather for a time of healing and an
open discussion about the egregious social injustice that occurred at our university. Within a
climate of silence perpetuated by academic, institutional, and corporate strongholds—those
who fail to speak up and take action in defense of children —Penn State art education refuses
to remain without voice. We believe that the spectacle that is now Penn State presents a
pedagogical moment and an opportunity to discuss the ways art educators can and must
respond. We can only imagine the magnitude of this scandal and other injustices that will
emerge. While much of the news media has rendered a negative image of our institution, we
believe that it is imperative that the responsible and responsive actions of our students and
faculty are shared and discussed within a larger cultural context. A most notable example of
such action is the Blue Out—a community wide public event to raise awareness and fight child
abuse, which was initiated by one of our graduate students in Art Education. We see in this
community action the collective power of public pedagogy in the name of social justice and
positive social action, and a first step among many as we begin a process of healing. We invite
you to join us.
