"The Marianists offered a new program. The curriculum included "tool" subjects and those that gave the students a practical training for life. Business training, art, elocution, and dramatics were emphasized." - New Wars, p. 24
"During these critical days of emergency the Brothers devoted all their time and energies to transforming their College into a hospital...Later in the year the basement of the Administration Building was decorated with a Hawaiian motif- tapa cloth designs in kalsomine on the walls and pillars- by Brother Francis Grisez..." -New wars, p. 115
"One September day in 1922, Brother Frank Herald, one of the original eight Brothers from Dayton, Ohio, walked into a downtown frame shop. For years, Brother Frank delighted in painting Hawaiian scenes. And, today was the day he would have ten of them framed.
It so happened that in the shop was W. O. Smith, the Chairman of the Bernice Pauahi Estate. The casual meeting was fortuitous. Brother (Adolph) Eiben had been searching for a suitable site for a new school. A prime location overlooking Kaimuki was the slopes of Kalaepōhaku, which was owned by Bishop Estate. So, when Brother Frank mentioned that he had met W. O. Smith, Brother Eiben was elated.
On January 27, 1923, the trustees of the Bishop Estate signed over 205 acres to St. Louis College for $62,500."* -New Wars (adapt.), p. 63-64
Marianists & the Arts Workshops
Marianists & the Arts Workshops
Workshops are FREE for Chaminade University students, staff and faculty. They will be led twice a year (Fall/Spring) by faculty and staff (or guest speakers) that represent various art forms. The first Marianists were very creative on top of their fine educational skills.
Groups may be limited according to meeting space size as set by the individual instructors. COME & JOIN us on this study and exploration of the Characteristics of Marianist Education as values for life.
Each Marianists & the Arts workshop will consist of two parts:
1. A “Study Session” based on the Characteristics of Marianist Education using the translation in 'Olelo Hawai'i as a springboard for deeper reflection.
2. A “Creating Session” focused on bringing a Marianist value you resonate with into a creative piece. *No former art experience required. :)
By the end of each Marianists & the Arts workshop, participants will have gained a better understanding of the Marianist values and their application to their personal lives. This will find expression in the creation of an artifact.
Arrangements will be made for a SPRING GALA to celebrate and showcase the Marianists & the Arts projects from the Fall and Spring semesters. This may include publication in a variety of formats (digital, hard copy, etc.)
Meetings, Time & Place
These details will be determined by individual instructors along with those who signed-up for their particular Arts Workshops.
