There are so many exciting and fun ideas being created by faculty here and elsewhere. Here are some of those ideas. Find your inspiration.

Accessible Teaching

Please do a bad job of putting your courses online

Teaching Effectively During Times of Disruption

Design Incubation

Online Art & Design Studio Instruction in the Age of "Social Distancing"

The Social Distance Gallery is posting BFA and MFA shows that are canceled or limited in access. Faculty are invited to submit their students' shows.

The Self-Isolation Pandemic Artist’s Residency Program (SIPARP) was created by L.A.'s own Samantha Fields as a project for her students, but she welcomes others to participate, too.

Below are resources that might be helpful to you. If you find others that you'd like us to share, please email them to Joanne Mitchell at jmitchell@otis.edu and she will post them here.
