żCuándo usted pregunta por la historia del plastilina, qué usted significa? Plastilina es la arcilla que se utiliza en esculpir. Sea más específico sobre lo que usted desea saber.

I have 4 paintings by an artist named J.P.Ludu. They seemed to be water colors,Black and white of black natives some with a head dress on, not native americans and they don't seem to be Africans. The painting is detail to the point that they look like they are photographs. The only information I got from the store I brought them, they were on assignment and the man who own them said they belonged to his death mother who travel the world. So, she apparently purchased them on one of her many trips.

I have an excellent painting (25x35cm) by J P Ludu that I purchased while I was a surveyor in Uganda in the late 1950s. It is a watercolour of an African (head and shoulders only) with various adornments. I always believed him to be a Masai tribesman but he might be from one of the other East African nomadic tibes. Research is required to identify which one. I believe that Ludu was Kenyan but he was employed as a cartographical draughtsman in the Survey Department of Uganda at Entebbe. His work was in such demand that he quit his job and became a full-time artist.

I have a watercolour by J P Ludu that I bought in Kampala, Uganda in the late 1950s. J P Ludu was a cartographical draughtsman in the Lands and Surveys Department of Uganda. However his talent as an artist meant that he could readily sell his pictures to tourists visiting Uganda and to people working in Uganda like myself. He eventually decided to become a full time artist and returned to his native Kenya. My picture is a splendid painting of the head and shoulders of an African tribesman, possibly Masai but not sure. The facial features are particularly good

Award-Winning George Catlin Web Site is a Key Resource for
Lewis and Clark Bicentennial

Web site: http://CatlinClassroom.si.edu


Teachers and students only:
Faye Powe (202) 275-1583

"Campfire Stories with George Catlin: An Encounter of Two Cultures," a Web site created by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and debuted to great acclaim last fall, is targeted to teachers and students in grades 5-12. It is designed to present different perspectives on issues related to Catlin’s art and life as well as commentary on American Indian concerns. It has received rave reviews internationally from educators and students. A middle-school teacher wrote, “This site is incredible. I am so excited to use it with my English students!” “I just found your Web site,” wrote a teacher from the Virgin Islands. “It is incredible, wonderful. WOW. Can’t wait to share it with other teachers and our students.”
This richly layered site includes virtual campfire discussions moderated by naturalist and writer Peter Matthiessen; commentary from Native American writers and leaders such as Wilma Mankiller, William Least Heat-Moon and W. Richard West; and primary source materials including George Catlin's journal. Resources include more than 450 Catlin paintings, activities and lesson plans, a digitized version of one of Catlin's sketchbooks, and various photographs and maps. Site content was developed to meet national curriculum teaching standards in history, geography, visual arts, English language arts, and science for grades 5–12.
The site also serves as an interdisciplinary resource for teachers celebrating the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial, a commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the historic journey by explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Catlin met and painted Clark and spent two years based in St. Louis, occasionally accompanying Clark to treaty-making councils. From St. Louis, Catlin journeyed northwestward to the boundless prairies described by Lewis and Clark as well as by the artist. Catlin painted some American Indian villages where Lewis and Clark had been entertained a quarter of a century earlier. He also visited with and painted Black Moccasin, an aged Hidatsa chief, who recollected meeting Lewis and Clark on their historic journey.
Teachers and students in the larger metropolitan areas of Kansas City, Los Angeles, Houston, and New York City will have a special opportunity to view in person more than one hundred paintings of Plains Indian life by Catlin when the exhibition “George Catlin and His Indian Gallery” travels to those cities. After opening at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo. (Feb. 7–April 18, 2004), the exhibition travels to the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles (May 9–Aug. 4, 2004), The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (Oct. 10, 2004–Jan. 16, 2005), and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, George Gustav Heye Center, New York City (Feb. 26–Aug. 7, 2005).
The Web site has won two distinguished awards. It is the American Association of Museums 2003 Gold Medal Winner of the MUSE Award in Art. It also was named the Best Educational Web Site for 2003 by Museums and the Web. At the 2003 South by Southwest Interactive Festival, the site was a finalist in the educational resource category. "We are very proud to be recognized by such prestigious organizations," said Elizabeth Broun, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. "The Catlin Web site continues the Smithsonian American Art Museum's long tradition of creating educational tools and our national commitment to online learning."
The MUSE Award judges commented, "Across the board, this is an excellent application of technology in the context of art interpretation and education," while the Museum and the Web judges stated, "The interactive component, which plays a major role in any educational process, seems here to be at its highest development."

First year teacher,

I have had similar situations for 18 years. I have developed my own lessons using the core content from my school district. These lessons are sometimes one or two class periods long with a few that last longer. I like to have longer lessons to enable the kids to really put time and effort into these art projects. I tie most of these together as units that include art history and assessment. My exception for this is when we are doing clay. For storage purposes I do this lesson by the day. Example: Tuesday classes do clay and no one else until I have fired their work and it has gone home.
I am involved in a long project to improve my assessment and teaching for such short contact time with the students so any other suggestions for the time starved let me know. Thanks

Hi, I am currently student teaching and the theme of my school this year is "Health and Fitness". I am trying to do sequential lesson plans with my first graders that integrate this theme. This past week we made paper salads with a variety of green paper in different shades and textures. Our class periods are 30 minutes and I would like to think of at least two more one class period lessons that use the theme of health or fitness. Any ideas or lessons would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

I think you have done a very interesting project with your students. Perphas you can try to link this existing project with writing. This means that your students can use the artworks that they have created, paste them in a nice piece of writing paper and write about what they have learned and how they would like to promote good health and fitness. In this way, students can practise their writing skills as well as expressing their personal thoughts. In other words, integrating their personal voices as well as reinforcing what they have learned in their writing classes. I hope this helps.

Hi Everyone! I'm moving up to grades 3-6 from pre-k through 2. I'm looking for good resources (books, websites-aside from IAD, of course!) that would help me put together a new curriculum. Mostly, I'm looking for ideas for the 1st month of classes. Also, stressing out about lack of supplies (my school spends $1 per child a year on the Visual Arts) Should I send a note home the 1st week requesting certain materials from each child????
Thanks,

Dear all,
I am a beginning teacher in Singapore. I hold a degree in architecture but had no proper education in the visual arts. I am nevertheless, very interested in the subject, thus teaching it.Was recently tasked to write the art and crafts curriculum for upper primary children (ages 10 to 12..am not sure what grade that would equate to in the states...my apologies). My question is this, would putting elements of art history and criticism be a good idea? is it too tedious and boring for them? My management and other teachers are quite against the whole idea. Your views on this?

In my opinion, childen aged 10-12 have a shorter attention span because they are entering adolescence. Because of this, I believe that a general approach is called for when you teach criticism and history. However, teaching the elements of art are good for any age.

I don't think incorporating art history and criticism is a bad idea, provided you are able to faciliate students to see how history remains relevant in the present contexts or how history helps to make progress in near future. As for criticism, you may need to think along the line of criticism as "Critical Thinking" or "Self Reflection". This means you can integrate art history into self thinking by encouraging students to discuss the contents of art history as to the present. It goes back to helping students to find relevancy in the subject in their own personal experiences or observations.

I hope this helps.

I am currently involved in the research of art education and technology. It seems to be the consensus of art educators that elementary students should be limited to simple paint programs when attempting digital art. Sophisticated programs such as Photoshop or Bryce should not be introduced until high school. Having successfully taught approximately a thousand kids aged seven to thirteen Photoshop and Bryce, I am especially curious why more have not attempted the same. Galleries of my students’ work are located at www.technocrayons.com .

Have you witnessed any teachers using professional art programs with elementary students? I am aware of Harold Olejarz's work and realize that he is an exception.

Why do you think most educators prefer simple programs for children especially since most people recognize that kids “get” computers much quicker than adults?
Has there been any research on computer art and children?
Are there any "must read" texts (articles and/or books) on art education and technology?
Do most students give up drawing around age nine? Is there any research on this?
Is there anyone that you would recommend I contact about these issues?

Hello all art educators:

I am a first year art teacher at an elementary level in a public school, rural, setting, and I am in desperate need of some good recommendation on books with lesson planning for this level. I have Helen Hume's Elementary Survival Guide, and have looked on several wonderful web sites including this one, but I am running out of ideas and it is only the beginning of the second semester! (I am very limited in materials)

Anything you can recollect would be of great help! Thank you in advance.

Several years ago many "Dime" stores sold a painting medium that could be mixed with ordinary artist oil paint for painting on textile. Now no one seems to know what this medium was. I think the name was Textine.
Does anyone have any idea where this medium or something like it may be obtained.

It is Textine, made by M. Grumbacher. I just saw it referenced in a 1959 textile surface design book, and amazingly found a can on the the shelf at my local art supply store. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect it is no longer in production.

I have been used to teaching students for an entire semester every other day. I just found out yesterday that our new school will have me teaching art to 6 groups of 6,7,8 graders for one six week period, then they will move to another exploratory. Does anyone have an idea for a plan that will touch as many areas as possible in 6wks? I will have a different group of 6 every six weeks. Our new school will have about 550 students. I really looked through IAD but I didn't find yearly plan that were broken into 6wks. Do I nend to repeat the same plan 6 times for the entire year? Help! Lori

I personally would go nuts repeating the same lessons every 6 weeks. However, I imagine it would make for an easier time with lesson planning. It would be fine to do that but I personally enjoy trying new projects in the classroom. I only repeat the lessons that I feel are successful and ones the kids really enjoyed. I suppose my approach would be to try lessons that aren't time consuming so that they get exposed to a variety of media in that short amount of time. Ideas..... drawing project maybe a one-point or two-point perspective, a watercolor abstract painting, a pinch pot or coil pot ( but clay takes time), a collage self- portrait ..That would prob be all you would have time for but it exposes them to alot of different mediums. another suggestion to save time is to make projects smaller in size. My 6th grade is set up for 6 weeks and I personally really enjoy it esp if I have a student that drives me nuts:) hehe

My summer art camp painted a mural for the hall on a panel 4x6'. We primed the wood and painted with house paint, but I have not sealed it with anything. I am concerned that it will get scratched or someone will put their own brand of creativity on the work. What is the best thing to seal it with. I also thought about covering with plexiglass, however, that will cost about 60 bucks.

Also, I would like to create a web site for my class. Any advice would be appreciated. Avery

You didnt mention if the mural is outdoors, indoors, or if you primed the concrete before applying the paint. Sealing the paint wont do much good if the substrate (concrete) was not prepared so that the paint would adhere to it properly. Sorry but there is not much you can do at this point except pray.

I have a question about murals/panels myself. True about the priming of the surface first...that's a must.

We painted a panel in the hall 4x6. We primed and painted the panel, now I am concerned that someone may scratch it or add their own brand of creativity to it. What's the best thing to do: seal with polyurathane or something else, or cover with a piece of plexiglass? The plexi will cost about 50 bucks. Avery

I just took the Praxis 2 and it was not very difficult. If you've completed all the required studio and taken a variety of art history courses to get your art ed degree, you'll be fine. To prepare I went through the Book of Lists and that helped a little. To get an idea of what the test will be like go to the Praxis website and they have about 10 practice questions. At the time of taking it, i felt like i did horrible, but I easily passed. Good luck!

The formula of art is just how your own eye perceives light.When you look at an object, the eye sees different values of that cetain color the object is made up off ,if you know how the eye works
from your eye to your canvas than you can move this object in any perspective shape you desirer.that's why these two sentences were called the formulaofart because its that simple.

formulaofart

The darkest dark is the dark closes to you or meets your eye first.

The lightest light is the light closes to you or meets your eye first

Use this formula to benifit your style of art , its to help you not change you , woun't make you draw better , Woun't help your creativity , It will just help you move the other persons eye to see perspective in your work.



I'll explain a little further. This works in line drawing , values of color , geometric shapes creating image , masses of color or shapes.This works with all aspects of art style , fine art ,abstraction,impressionism , realism , surrealism , you get the picture.

If you would like to learn more about this formula you can email at artist1@localnet.com. I'm not selling you the formula its free I hope you are talented enough just to say " I get it ".

Please no negitive artist , we can all argue our point, the point is this is the truth , and all artist should know this.
If you do know this formula , no feedback because your not the person this should be helping , want it the benifit the young artist , the beginners from 8 to 80

Although the ancient Greeks admired physical beauty, most important in relationships between men and boys was character. Honor, integrity, courage, and philosophy were sought. Of course, as today, the less noble paired up as well.

(I only have 3 students in that class, so I need a larger audience for critique and discussion.) I will be using blogger.com and Flickr.com to publish the photos and receive/give critiques and this will be linked to my blogger account for more in depth discussion on particular artwork.

You mix the Spindle Oil and Linseed Oil with your oil based paints. Mix enough oil until the paint is the consistency you desire but no more than a 50% mixture.

Hi, I am a middleclass American computer graphic designer (advertising), art/photo instructor in high school, perpetual student, babyboomer, former political activist turned spiritualist, and world traveler having a foot in Artsednet and now in Art4Peace. I am interested in symbology as a method of conveying the message of peace and freedom under repression.

I agree that freedom of expression coupled with responsibility of the expressor to stand for freedom promotes peace. The message of repression on the otherhand, is self defeating and therefore defeats the progress of society thereby causing war between repressor and the repressed. Peace is won often with the blood of the seeker and learned through the initiation of fire. (symbolically speaking that is). Truth of art is in the eye of the beholder. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty." Keats (1795-1821)

I look forward to chatting with you towards art and peace and relevant topics.
Peri

Subject: Jaisini "Marble Lady"

Jaisini "Marble Lady"

Marble Woman, The Notorious Marble Lady, My Marble Lady, Lady Known as Marble, the So-Called Marble Lady, etc.

Art in the twentieth century has been awarded the highest esteem as something we should admire and respect and I found a lot of evidence of the truthfulness of such thought. I emailed my essay called "Marble Lady" on Paul Jaisini’s oil painting with the same title in frequency of 500-1000 emails a day with a limited impact in consideration to the vast amount of Internet subscribers.

What I have found was an unprecedented response from the recipients, the readers who were intrigued and even entrapped by this sort of a psychological game, trying to decipher the meaning of the message, it’s content, how it relates to them personally, who is the messenger, why was it sent to them and why they were targeted to such atypical advertisement.

I did not expect such amount of feedback, which kept me busy for months. It also was a degree of obligation to continue as the action had caught public’s interest. This art mission grew into a sort of conceptual art when I am describing an oil painting authored by Jaisini without providing any visual information.

It seems to me that this was one of the reasons for creation of fancy about the given art work that was named by readers in many special ways as The Marble Lady, Marble Woman, The Notorious Marble Lady, My marble lady, lady Known as Marble, the so-called marble lady, Marble Statue and so forth.

It is some sort of phenomenon of the essay hitting unexpectedly PC users, as some preserved, sacred message, which is not revealed but represented as an idea and mysterious message from ‘above.’

I didn’t intend to engage in conceptual art activity, but it happened without my insinuation. People had started the dialogue that can only be called interaction. I was asked for explanation. A work of art normally behaves as if it’s a visual statement. This is a sculpture of Thinker by Rodin or this is a portrait of Mona Lisa. The viewer may ask, who was this Mona Lisa and why did she become so precious. But these questions follow on from an acceptance of the visual object.

In my case, there was no visual object offered for review, but an essay as ipso facto. And the visualization was up to the reader. I offered the description as representation, which seems a tautology and the chain of description was further elaborated by each reader in his degree of potential and "Marble lady" was "Marble lady" was "marble lady" ed infinitum.

The response could also be believed as nervous breakdown characteristic of contemporary people who have lost faith in any offered commodity, nor in art claimed to be, neither in social institution.

The connection of image with effective action on viewers is disturbed. People seem to prefer a legend. The formalistic presentation can no longer explain life in our rapidly changing world. To the opposite of a true conceptual art which was a violent reaction against modernist notions of progress, this new action was populist and not against an art object status, but for creation of an aura of legend and good reception.

This action thus is purely aesthetic without discrimination of the recipients. I have received responses ranging from teen-agers to retired journalists. The romantic, poetic message reached throughout the cyber space with little effort in professionalism of presentation, but with a strong power of personal correspondence.

The reader can find in the essay the artistic representation with no political or apolitical aspiration. The conceptuality of this action is even more paradoxical as in respects of certain degree of privacy’s intrusion.

With emailing an art essay I was trying to impose art on non-wanting receptors unlike the denial of Conceptual art and it’s opposition towards art tradition.

The reception of the message "Marble Lady" turned to be the best. It may be the method of this everyday nature that prefigured good reception of the one who got the mail in the box. If he reads an art essay in a snobby art magazine written with the same artsy words, it would not reach him.

Instead of usual commercial offers the Internet user receives the poetic message that he’d love to think has come from some one he knows personally, or a secret admirer. The expectation here is exaggerated and he thinks more of the essay than it is realistically. He sees it through the rosy glasses of sensual willingness. This may be the highest point of a fusing the life of the home, office, classroom with the hermetic life of the art studio, by the help of informative mediator.

The essay sneaked onto the recipient without any commercial tyranny as personal letter. The reader chooses to open and read it.

The reason of course is the title "Marble Lady." Naming the essay with the painting’s title "Marble Lady" I tried to put the painting at the service of the mind. Duchamp rejected no painting per se, but stupid painting. I found a chance for critical research in works of Paul Jaisini, which allow me to think in words and images. Jaisini’s paintings are smart enough to teach, to reconstruct the mind and start up a new art concept.

The written essay cannot substitute the visual image and by no definition can be called an independent work of art, but its art’s aura. It didn’t intend to create a debate, but ultimately did, the aura is important in the pleasurable straight reception of visual art work by people.

Marble Lady Oil Painting by Paul Jaisini
Kotz-Gottlieb keeps the page-turner of a dialogue with many voices vital and engaging in opposition of opinions and search for something that explains mystery of Jaisini's invibisle art. There is a flurry of surprising interpretations, reactions, emotions, personal revelations all directed to try to unravel puzzles of Gleitzeit art of Paul Jaisini, also known as Invisible, asking how much of this is fact and how much is fiction? It's challenging, exciting, and a whole lot more. What if invisible painting was real? Such a possibility yielding an extremely controversial discussion provides the framework for Kotz-Gottlieb's series of books on the art of Paul Jaisini. Art finally enters new unknown dimension and the book about it keeps someone in suspense, while someone is inspired to break through the barriers of unknown, and someone craving for more of the mysterious puzzles of Jaisini.
