Cornelia Schulz Art Recipient 1999-2000 The first woman studio art professor to be hired at UC Davis, Professor Schulz believes in sharing art publicly, both on campus and in the larger community. Most recently, she initiated the UC Davis ArtsBridge program. Through the program, UC Davis students work with K-12 students and classroom teachers to teach specific arts curriculums in public schools. Through ArtsBridge, "Schulz has extended ideas and their possibilities into our community ... all of us will feel the positive and long-lasting repercussions for many years to come," says colleague Annabeth Rosen, UC Davis associate art and art history professor. As Professor Schulz explains, "We are trying to integrate the arts into schools, getting across the idea that the arts are a vehicle for learning, not just a ’fun‘ side event. Art is a useful, hands-on process to help the child grow and understand at more than just the linear cognitive level." Professor Schulz’s commitment to public service has been evident throughout her career. She has helped plan public art and exhibitions on campus. She has served pro bono on art exhibition juries locally and in the Bay Area, and has served on the San Francisco Art Institute Board. She has frequently donated her artwork to nonprofit organizations, including Amnesty International, Marin AIDS Project, Nelson ArtFriends, and public-television station KQED. She served on the selection committee for the Art in Public Places program in Sacramento. |
