\"DanDan Selter retired in May after 35 years at Transylvania as an art professor and was awarded faculty emeritus status at the commencement ceremony.<\/p>\n

Selter, a master ceramist, is known as an amicable professor who expected a lot out of his students but didn\u2019t have to run a tight ship to get it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe phrase that comes up a lot is \u2018laid back,\u2019\u201d Selter, who won a Bingham Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1997, said, laughing. \u201cI, frankly, relied a lot on the idea that at the college level, and in teaching art, it is better to try and find something that will motivate the students from within, rather than some sort of drillmaster approach that causes them to follow the steps. I think it\u2019s more successful that they get turned on to something and get involved and get excited by it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holli Schulz, a senior from New Salisbury, Ind., was excited enough that she went from thinking about getting a minor in art to majoring in it after taking Selter\u2019s class for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe persuaded me to (major in art) more than anything,\u201d she said. \u201cI loved his classes, and I liked talking to him. He\u2019s going to be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selter, who is originally from Louisville, enrolled at the University of Louisville for his undergraduate degree but was drafted and spent three years in the U.S. Army before he could take his first class. He finally graduated and went on to Syracuse University, where he earned his M.F.A. in ceramics. From there he began looking for a teaching position to support his art.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I graduated, I had had my fill of art schools\u2014everything was all about art for the entire time I was in school,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I was looking for a smaller school, and I wanted to be part of a community of people with a variety of interests. I didn\u2019t know anything about Transylvania at the time. It certainly ended up filling the bill in terms of being a place where my colleagues were in several other fields. It was really a fortuitous situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He fulfilled his goal of dabbling in other disciplines while he was at Transy, teaching courses jointly with other professors. Two that stuck out were a class on the art and culture of Southeast Asia and a class on Native American Indian art, both with then-anthropology and sociology professor Cara Richards. Down the road he was able to take a trip to China with art history professor Wei Lin, and his Native American research involved taking road trips to the southwestern United States and Alaska to visit reservations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly expanded my world,\u201d he said. \u201cI ended up teaching courses in things I never dreamed I\u2019d be involved in. A life in academia is a life of continuous learning, and Transylvania has afforded those opportunities. At a larger institution, I think it would have been harder to do those things. Here it\u2019s encouraged, and that\u2019s been very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"Dan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Selter found a different way to give his speech at the faculty and staff retirement luncheon in May.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

He has also had a chance to do a lot of ceramics work on the side while teaching. He gained a reputation as a kind of humorist with his art, which was often lighthearted and fun. He was featured in several regional exhibits, and he cracked the national scene in 2000 when he was in a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Everson Museum in Syracuse, N.Y.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud of that one,\u201d he said. \u201cThat show toured very selectively with a jury of ceramic all-stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

He received local publicity for an installment he created in 1992 at the Lexington Family Care Center, a home for underprivileged, pre-school-age children and their mothers. He got a grant from the city and from the Lexington Arts and Cultural Council to construct a 20-by-12-ft. mural of giant children\u2019s books carved out of Styrofoam. The staff at the care center chose around 15 books they use with the children, and he designed the mural to incorporate those titles. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud of those, largely because I found in that situation a kind of art that was very purposeful,\u201d he said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t something that was for a gallery, it wasn\u2019t something to decorate, it wasn\u2019t for sale\u2014it enhanced the environment for these kids at the center, and it was a learning tool. They used it to teach those kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also created figurines depicting a few faculty members when they retired. It started with former dean Jack Bryden. Selter created a Jack-in-the-box using Bryden\u2019s likeness. Most recently he did one for former history professor Joe Binford, who was an avid runner and taught Latin American history. He crafted Binford as a Vishnu wearing a track suit, holding in his many arms a sombrero and an academic hat, sitting on top of Old Morrison. One he did for Dave Haller, a former drama professor, ended up housing Haller\u2019s ashes after he died.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason Selter decided to retire at 63 is that he wants to be able to continue focusing on his art while his body allows him to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be able to engage in art-making while I still have energy and health,\u201d he said. \u201cI got into art and ended up teaching because I wanted to make a living. I ended up loving teaching, but it was a decision. So I\u2019d like to become involved in that a little more full time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
