\"Kranz_Spotlight_blog\"<\/a>\"Tim<\/a>Name:<\/strong> Tim Kranz
\nTitle: <\/strong>Lecturer II
\nDepartment: <\/strong>Visual Arts and Communication<\/a><\/p>\n

Classes I teach: <\/strong>Currently, I am teaching Drawing I-Art 131-02, Two-dimensional design-Art 141, Painting-Art 263, Painting or Drawing Processes and Properties-Art 364, Water-based Painting-Art 307, and Oil Painting-Art 309. I have also taught various other drawing and painting courses as well as a general art course (Art 100).<\/p>\n

Professional Interests, Activities, Publications or Exhibitions:
\n<\/strong>Artist Member of Buckham Gallery, Flint, MI. I am also a former member of Buckham\u2019s Board of Directors. I am beginning to show my work frequently again after a couple of years off. Most of my exhibitions have been in Michigan, one in Chicago. I would like to start showing more regionally and nationally.<\/p>\n

You can view Tim’s artwork online at\u00a0http:\/\/timkranz.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Research or Specific Areas of Interest:
\n<\/strong>Human psychology, particularly anthropomorphism. I am also interested in how people view artwork; <\/strong>what they take from it, what it takes to make them slow down and appreciate it, etc.<\/p>\n

Awards:
\n<\/strong>No recent, significant awards. Several Golden Apples and voted as one of the Flint area\u2019s favorite artists by My City Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Degree(s)\/Education:
\n<\/strong>B.F.A \u2013 The University of Michigan-Flint 2001.
\nM.F.A. \u2013 Kendall College of Art and Design 2010.<\/p>\n

Memberships:
\n<\/strong>Artist Member of Buckham Gallery, Flint, MI. I am also a former member of Buckham\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

How I fell in love with my field:
\n<\/strong>I took painting as an Art Education elective here at UM-Flint with Mike Sevick in 1998. Everything about it has appealed to me since; the history, craft, approaches, pushing myself, different ways of conveying messages, etc.<\/p>\n

What I hope for my time at UM-Flint:
\n<\/strong>To reach as many students as possible and inspire them while continually being inspired by them as well.<\/p>\n

What I hope for students in my field:<\/strong>
\nI want them to learn that hard work, dedication, and perseverance can allow them to be successful in any field. I also want them to feel like the things I teach them had an impact on their careers, lives, and ways of seeing the world.<\/p>\n

Three things you should know about me<\/strong>:
\nI am a UM-Flint alum, with a minor in Art History. I have a painting studio in Buckham Alley in downtown Flint. My teaching and art making are starting to affect\u00a0each other.<\/p>\n

\n

Tim will be exhibiting his works in a solo exhibition of his past, present, and future works at the UCEN Fine Art Gallery<\/a> at UM-Flint. The exhibit opens on Friday, January 9th from 5pm-8pm and will remain open weekdays until January 23rd.
