movie day: Justin Novak
Justin Novak from Emily Carr University on Vimeo.
Justin Novak has been an Associate Professor of Visual Art and Material
Practice at Emily Carr since the Fall of 2007. He teaches in the areas
of Ceramics and Illustration. After receiving his BFA in Communications
Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, Justin spent fifteen years
working as a freelance illustrator in New York City, for a range of
clients (including The New York Times, The New York Daily News,
Macmillan Publishing, Harper Collins, Tor Books, and the
Book-of-the-Month Club, among others). A second career followed, as an
exhibiting artist working primarily in the medium of ceramics. Much of
his ceramic work, which has ranged from figurative sculpture to
utilitarian design, has been developed within international residency
programs, including the Kohler Factory in Wisconsin, the Walbryzch
Factory in Walbryzch, Poland, the Arabia Factory in Helsinki and the
National Workshops of Art and Crafts in Copenhagen.
