UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) proudly presents Bill Plympton Animator; Crowned King of Indie Animation: Drawings from Cheatin'. This exhibition is a showcase of original drawings and production art of animator, cartoonist, and filmmaker Bill Plympton. Nearly 100 original graphite drawings from the artist's recent film Cheatin' will be on display along with other essential production materials and related media to reveal a "behind the scenes" look at Plympton's artistic process. Accompanying the art will be a continuous screening of the feature film Cheatin' in its entirety in the gallery. Video tutorials, produced by the artist himself, further the educational experience of "handmade" animation. This special exhibition curated for UMass Dartmouth can be seen at the CVPA Campus Gallery (UMass Dartmouth Main Campus) from September 29 through November 2, 2016. Bill Plympton, who has been called The King of Indie Animation, is the first person to independently hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has created over 40 animated short films and seven animated features. Plympton received Oscar nominations for various animated shorts along with winning the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Canal+ Award for short films at Cannes Critics' Week. Bill Plympton will speak about his work and provide insight into the wild world of cartooning and independent animation. While the event is free and open to the public, reservations for the talk are required and can be made through this link: www.eventbrite.com/e/bill-plympton-talk-at-umass-dartmouth-tickets-27607014323 Excerpts from Artist's Statement "Why is it that animation is stereotyped as being only aimed at children and created by computer graphics? Why can't adults see stories for themselves, created in the fantastically free style of a hand-drawn animator? The look of this film is very special to me. When I started my career as an illustrator, I developed a style that I loved, watercolor with a pen and ink crosshatch overlay. But because of the limits of technology, I was never able to recreate my favorite style in animation. However, with the new digital technology available now, I've been able to exactly replicate that beautiful watercolor look." Biography Bill Plympton moved to New York City in 1968 and began his career creating cartoons for publications such as The New York Times, Playboy, National Lampoon, and Screw. In 1987, he was nominated for an Oscar for his animated short Your Face. In 2005, Plympton received another Oscar nomination, this time for his short Guard Dog. Push Comes to Shove won the prestigious Cannes 1991 Palme d'Or; and in 2001, another short film, Eat, won the Grand Prize for Short Films in Cannes Critics' Week. After producing many shorts that appeared on MTV, Spike, and Mike's, he turned his talent to feature films. Since 1991, he has made ten feature films. Seven of them, The Tune, Mondo Plympton, I Married a Strange Person, Mutant Aliens, Hair High, Idiots and Angels, and Cheatin', are all animated features. Bill Plympton has also collaborated with Madonna, Kanye West, Terry Gilliam, and "Weird Al" Yankovic in a number of music videos, animated films, and book projects. In 2006, Plympton received the Winsor McCay Lifetime Achievement Award from The Annie Awards. This event made possible through the generous support of Allan and Priscilla Ditchfield.

  • Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Xuyang Wang

  • Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
  • Description: Mechanical Engineering MS THESIS DEFENSE by Mr. Xuyang Wang October 18, 2016 3:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. Textile Building, Room 101E TOPIC: Topography Sample Size Compression by Cantor Set Concept ABSTRACT: There are two crucial challenges in surface topography inspection for manufacturing quality control. The first one is to minimize the sample size that is usually extremely large and time consuming in acquisition and processing, and the second one is to make the topography characterization highly efficient. In this research, a new sampling strategy based on Cantor set concepts is proposed for minimizing the sample size of surface topography. The new method is designed to reduce the number of sampled data points and also makes sampling and signal processing easier. Meanwhile, it is also crucial to keep the key characteristics in the original signal for quality evaluation while reducing the sample size. In addition, the data retrieved from the AFM instrument was used to validate this new sampling method. Nevertheless, the results of this research demonstrate the effectiveness of this method in sample compression and topography characterization. This method could also benefit industrial companies by reducing quality cost. ADVISOR: Dr. Wenzhen Huang, Department of Mechanical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Dr. Vijaya B. Chalivendra, UMD MNE Dr. Sherif D. El Wakil, UMD MNE Open to the public. All MNE students are encouraged to attend.

  • Description: Guest Speaker: Dr. Sandra Sousa, University of Central Florida When: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 3:30 pm Where: Liberal Arts Building, Room 206 Sponsored by: Foreign Literature & Languages, UMass Dartmouth Dr. Sousa will discuss Mark Carnes's Minds on Fire. How Role-Immersion Games Transform College as a path to improve the teaching of culture and language classes, with a focus on Spanish and Portuguese. This presentation will be based on her recent findings by implementing and reacting to the past (RTTP) role-play to her language and culture classes. She will also show how games based on role-play can have a significant impact on the way students learn and how it makes the classroom an engaging and mind-challenging environment for every student. A final aspect of her presentation involves discussion of the effectiveness of implementing role-play as a new teaching method aimed at facilitating student success. Sharing the new pedagogical insights she has acquired as a result of introducing role-play into her classrooms can also contribute to a group discussion of how learning can be a transformative experience for students and instructors alike.

UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) proudly presents Bill Plympton Animator; Crowned King of Indie Animation: Drawings from Cheatin'. This exhibition is a showcase of original drawings and production art of animator, cartoonist, and filmmaker Bill Plympton. Nearly 100 original graphite drawings from the artist's recent film Cheatin' will be on display along with other essential production materials and related media to reveal a "behind the scenes" look at Plympton's artistic process. Accompanying the art will be a continuous screening of the feature film Cheatin' in its entirety in the gallery.

This special exhibition curated for UMass Dartmouth can be seen at the CVPA Campus Gallery (UMass Dartmouth Main Campus) from September 29 through November 2, 2016. Bill Plympton, who has been called The King of Indie Animation, is the first person to independently hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has created over 40 animated short films and seven animated features.

While the event is free and open to the public, reservations for the talk are required and can be made through this link: www.eventbrite.com/e/bill-plympton-talk-at-umass-dartmouth-tickets-27607014323 Excerpts from Artist's Statement "Why is it that animation is stereotyped as being only aimed at children and created by computer graphics? Why can't adults see stories for themselves, created in the fantastically free style of a hand-drawn animator? The look of this film is very special to me. When I started my career as an illustrator, I developed a style that I loved, watercolor with a pen and ink crosshatch overlay. But because of the limits of technology, I was never able to recreate my favorite style in animation. However, with the new digital technology available now, I've been able to exactly replicate that beautiful watercolor look." Biography Bill Plympton moved to New York City in 1968 and began his career creating cartoons for publications such as The New York Times, Playboy, National Lampoon, and Screw. In 1987, he was nominated for an Oscar for his animated short Your Face. In 2005, Plympton received another Oscar nomination, this time for his short Guard Dog. Push Comes to Shove won the prestigious Cannes 1991 Palme d'Or; and in 2001, another short film, Eat, won the Grand Prize for Short Films in Cannes Critics' Week. After producing many shorts that appeared on MTV, Spike, and Mike's, he turned his talent to feature films. Since 1991, he has made ten feature films. Seven of them, The Tune, Mondo Plympton, I Married a Strange Person, Mutant Aliens, Hair High, Idiots and Angels, and Cheatin', are all animated features. Bill Plympton has also collaborated with Madonna, Kanye West, Terry Gilliam, and "Weird Al" Yankovic in a number of music videos, animated films, and book projects. In 2006, Plympton received the Winsor McCay Lifetime Achievement Award from The Annie Awards. This event made possible through the generous support of Allan and Priscilla Ditchfield.

However, most of them are short pulses based UWB, which is complicated and power hungry. These deficiencies limited their applications. In this thesis a new way of in-door positioning based on ultra-wideband noise signals is proposed. This system is confirmed theoretically and proof-of-concept measurement. A miniaturized broadband minimized UWB antenna (<15×15mm) for the proposed positioning system has been designed, fabricated and measured. NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.

UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) proudly presents Bill Plympton Animator; Crowned King of Indie Animation: Drawings from Cheatin'. This exhibition is a showcase of original drawings and production art of animator, cartoonist, and filmmaker Bill Plympton. Nearly 100 original graphite drawings from the artist's recent film Cheatin' will be on display along with other essential production materials and related media to reveal a "behind the scenes" look at Plympton's artistic process. Accompanying the art will be a continuous screening of the feature film Cheatin' in its entirety in the gallery. Video tutorials, produced by the artist himself, further the educational experience of "handmade" animation. This special exhibition curated for UMass Dartmouth can be seen at the CVPA Campus Gallery (UMass Dartmouth Main Campus) from September 29 through November 2, 2016. Bill Plympton, who has been called The King of Indie Animation, is the first person to independently hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has created over 40 animated short films and seven animated features. Plympton received Oscar nominations for various animated shorts along with winning the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Canal+ Award for short films at Cannes Critics' Week. Bill Plympton will speak about his work and provide insight into the wild world of cartooning and independent animation. While the event is free and open to the public, reservations for the talk are required and can be made through this link: www.eventbrite.com/e/bill-plympton-talk-at-umass-dartmouth-tickets-27607014323 Excerpts from Artist's Statement "Why is it that animation is stereotyped as being only aimed at children and created by computer graphics? Why can't adults see stories for themselves, created in the fantastically free style of a hand-drawn animator? The look of this film is very special to me. When I started my career as an illustrator, I developed a style that I loved, watercolor with a pen and ink crosshatch overlay. But because of the limits of technology, I was never able to recreate my favorite style in animation. However, with the new digital technology available now, I've been able to exactly replicate that beautiful watercolor look." Biography Bill Plympton moved to New York City in 1968 and began his career creating cartoons for publications such as The New York Times, Playboy, National Lampoon, and Screw. In 1987, he was nominated for an Oscar for his animated short Your Face. In 2005, Plympton received another Oscar nomination, this time for his short Guard Dog. Push Comes to Shove won the prestigious Cannes 1991 Palme d'Or; and in 2001, another short film, Eat, won the Grand Prize for Short Films in Cannes Critics' Week. After producing many shorts that appeared on MTV, Spike, and Mike's, he turned his talent to feature films. Since 1991, he has made ten feature films. Seven of them, The Tune, Mondo Plympton, I Married a Strange Person, Mutant Aliens, Hair High, Idiots and Angels, and Cheatin', are all animated features. Bill Plympton has also collaborated with Madonna, Kanye West, Terry Gilliam, and "Weird Al" Yankovic in a number of music videos, animated films, and book projects. In 2006, Plympton received the Winsor McCay Lifetime Achievement Award from The Annie Awards. This event made possible through the generous support of Allan and Priscilla Ditchfield.
