  I believe this would be an example of Gude's "Layering." It looks like the artist took various existing skin images, then cut them, rearranged and overlapped them to form a hand.

  This looks like an example of Gude's "Interaction of Text & Image." There is a woman inside of a dark hood with many textual descriptions of how she feels eminating around her.

  <- this is near my house. I used to live in Germantown, and my friend and I searched without success to find this address to hand deliver a postcard.

  As a teacher, I share similar feelings when students ask me about my personal life....not with these specific activities, but there is such a disconnect between how we must act as educators verse how we act outside of the school building around our friends or family.

  In honor of Valentine's Day, I noticed the postcard senders used pinks and reds and had both the heart symbol and human hearts.

  I can't tell if this a romantic or sad secret. Only the secret-holder knows, I guess, while the viewer makes their own meaning.

Experimenting with ideas from the readings - 4 views

started by James Rickard on 08 Feb 11 no follow-up yet

#1 James Rickard on 08 Feb 11

Yesterday in class, I tried a sort of progressive drawing. We discussed collaboration and watched/viewed Dale Chihuly at work. I showed them Jeanine Briggs' Detritussaurus and discussed the process. Then I had each student draw a head, then pass the paper to their left. The next person added a leg. Next person: an arm or leg. Then an appendage: arm, head, wing, leg, tail, etc. Then two hands, two feet, or one of each. ETC. When the paper reached the original owner, they had to create a suitable environment (cave, under water, tree branches, sky, pocket, kitchen, cell membrane) for their creature and give it a name. Excellent results.

Today, after looking at Romare Bearden, I had the students convey the idea of "spoiled brat" through collage. Tommorrow we will try some layering.

I pulled/based both of these ideas from the readings for this week, and both assignments engaged all of the students.

Collaboration art contemporary

Collaboration Submitted by JLR530 on Sun, 02/06/2011 - 13:42. A COLLABORATION involves a minimum of two individuals working together toward a common goal.   Each participant brings their unique beliefs, talents, drives, and attitudes from inside   their psyche and inputs them into the completion of the goal. Jeanine Briggs commanded a collaboration at the de Young museum in San Francisco in which I (as well as all guests) was (were) able to participate this past July.   Discarded items were provided by   Briggs, and a large creature called a Detritussaurs was formed with the idea that visitors would add to their touch to it.   - James Images found at links below: http://deyoung.famsf.org/blog/introduction-jeanine-briggs-transfigurations-july-2010-artist-residence-gregory-stock-education http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4879962665_7a1d16cb2b.jpg

Does College Make You Smarter? Article from NYTimes - 7 views

college learning standardize tests

started by Laura March on 26 Jan 11 no follow-up yet

#2 James Rickard on 26 Jan 11

"Have colleges, in their efforts to keep graduation rates high and students happy, dumbed down their curriculums?" This was from that article. We say this almost daily about the high school where I teach. There seems to be a constant dumbing down. We need to change the way we teach as people (students) change without putting true learning in jeopardy. I'm not always sure what that looks like.

Public art in NY and Karen's photo - 13 views

#1 James Rickard on 20 Jan 11

I noticed on the Exploration Page 1 Karen's photo from the Manhattan Bridge. On the bus back from New York this past Monday, I sat next to a man who was flipping through graffiti photos that he'd taken while in the city. The images were amazing. He gave me the name of this website http://5ptz.com/graff/about/ that exhibits this work as well as explains the brain behind it. Graffiti artists from around the world (as well as musicians, break dancers, photographers, and filmakers) have a public space in queens where this style of artwork is celebrated in accordance with NYC laws. 5ptz (5 pointz) stands for the 5 boroughs of New York which they say has the "reputation as an epicenter of the graffiti scene." This site explains the founder and curator, Jonathan Cohen's mission statement and aspirations to form a school for graffiti artists with a full curriculum. It's really interesting.
