COMMENCEMENT PRAT T INSTIT UTE COM ME NCE ME NT 05.17.16, 9.30 AM RADIO CIT Y MUSIC HALL NEW YORK CIT Y NOTES ON ACADEMIC HERALDRY The caps, gowns, and hoods of the academic procession date back to the Middle Ages when they were common dress for scholars. Monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty twelfth-century castles and halls of learning. The bachelor’s gown has a pleated front and long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown, which may be worn open, is distinguishable by its long, square sleeves closed at the end and slit near the elbow to permit the forearms to come through. The doctor’s gown, which also may be worn open, is trimmed with velvet panels down the front and has three velvet bars on its bell-shaped sleeves. The hood is the key to the costume. A shell of the same material as the gown, it is lined in silk with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The length of the hood indicates the degree: four feet for the doctor, three-and-a-half feet for the master, and three feet for the bachelor. The hood is sometimes omitted on the bachelor’s gown. The width of the velvet border also indicates degree; the widest border belongs to the doctor’s gown. The color of the hood’s border indicates the field of learning to which the degree pertains. The doctor’s hood may bear a single chevron on the lining. Two narrow chevrons indicate a bachelor, while the master may have a single chevron or have the hood divided equally into two colors. During the processional, candidates for the bachelor’s degree wear the tassels of their mortarboard hats on the right. After the students receive their diplomas, their tassels are moved to the left side of the cap. The mace, carried by the Grand Marshal of the Academic Procession and used to open and close the ceremonies, was a medieval symbol of the authority of the official before whom it was carried. The Pratt mace was designed by the late Paul Fjelde, emeritus professor of art and distinguished medalist. It was presented to the Institute by the class of 1956. The various fields of learning are indicated by color as follows: Arts, Letters, and Accountancy: white Commerce and Accountancy: olive brown Economics: copper Education or Pedagogy: light blue Engineering: orange Fine Arts: brown Architecture: blue violet Law: purple Library Science: lemon Medicine: green Music: pink Nursing: apricot Philosophy: dark blue Physical Education: sage green Public Administration: olive brown Science: golden yellow Social Service: citron Theology: scarlet COMMENCEMENT PRAT T INSTIT UTE COM ME NCE ME NT 05.17.16, 9:30 AM RADIO CIT Y MUSIC HALL NEW YORK CIT Y SCHOOL OF ARCHITECT URE SCHOOL OF ART SCHOOL OF DESIGN SCHOOL OF INFORMATION SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL ST UDIES THE INS TITUTE CONVOCATION THE CONFERRING OF DEGREES America the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!

During her 47-year career, she has had 35 one-person shows across the United States. In addition, there have been countless group exhibitions of her work in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Many of her diptych paintings are based on sketches made during her travels throughout the American Southwest and Italy. Her works can be seen in 36 museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Denver Art Museum in Colorado, the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, the Detroit Institute of Art in Michigan, and the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana. The National Museum of Canada and the National Museum of Israel both own a painting by the artist. WalkingStick exhibits her work at the June Kelly Gallery in New York City. In 2003, WalkingStick was honored as the Distinguished Native American Fine Artist by the Eiteljorg Museum. The Women’s Caucus for Art made her an honoree at the National Honors Award for Achievement in the Arts, and in 1995, she was awarded a Joan Mitchell Award in painting. The Richard A. Florsheim Art Fund Award was given to her in 1991 and the NEA awarded her a grant in painting in 1983. She graduated from Beaver College of Arcadia University in 1959 with a B.F.A. in painting. In 1973, she was awarded a Danforth Foundation Graduate Fellowship for Women to attend Pratt Institute, where she was awarded an M.F.A. in 1975. In 2011, the PollockKrasner Foundation honored her with a Lee Krasner grant for lifetime achievment. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by Arcadia University in 2011, and in May 2016, Pratt Institute will do the same. You can read about her work in H.R. Janson’s History of Art (5th and 6th editions), David Penney’s Native American Art Masterpieces, and many other books and journals. WalkingStick is a professor emerita of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, where she teaches painting and drawing. The artist is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. She lives and paints in Easton, Pennsylvania, with her husband, the artist Dirk Bach. 43 | Commencement Photo by Julia Verderosa TERRY WINTERS DOCTOR OF FINE ARTS American painter Terry Winters has expanded the concerns of abstract art, beginning with botanically inspired images and going on to explore biological processes and mathematical systems. Richly associative and visionary in scope, his art addresse the “interaction between information and imagination.” Winters’ process-based work produces experimental, innovative pictures that generate abundant reciprocal relationships between his paintings, drawings, and prints. Winters was born in New York in 1949 and received a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute in 1971. Following his first exhibition at Sonnabend Gallery in 1982, his work has been the subject of numerous museum surveys. These include the Tate Gallery, London; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; IVAM, Centre Julio Gonzales, Valencia; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover; and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. Retrospectives of his drawings and prints have been organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. A complete archive of his printed works is held at the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville. In 2013, Winters was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His work is currently featured in The Painter’s Cabinet: Terry Winters’ Dialogue with Nature at Kunsthaus Graz, Austria. Winters is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery in New York and Los Angeles.

Arch. degree program and thesis sequence, M.Arch. option studios and digital media courses, and the Graduate Architecture and Urban Design in Rome program. He is primarily responsible for teaching a range of studios and media courses for both incoming and upper-level students that explore relationships among contemporary design techniques, architectural categories of production, and the history of discourse in the discipline. In addition, he works with thesis students to develop near-future strategies for emerging architectural and urban scenarios, with an emphasis on techno-social change and how architects can develop agile positions on the role of design in our changing world. His work with students in Rome, Florence, and Venice endeavors to help students understand historical and contemporary incarnations of architectural and urban thinking as evolving along a trajectory to which they can contribute. Jason is the founding principal of Split Studio and founding partner of Planetary ONE. Both of these Brooklyn-based practices are interested in multidisciplinary approaches to design with a concentration on working across scales and media that include graphics, industrial design, architecture, urbanism, and ecology. His individual and collaborative projects include architectural robots, information-harvesting drones, amphibious buildings, future cities, swarming infrastructures, prefabricated landscapes, and cyborg ecologies. His recent and forthcoming publications include projects for aquatic settlements and informal infrastructures, as well as texts on sci-fi design, floating buildings, and swarming building systems. He has taught, lectured, and exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia. DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD This year’s Distinguished Teacher will receive a medal designed by Julian Anderson.
