William Eggleston (Amer. b.1939) emerged in the early 1960s as a pioneer of modern color photography. Now, fifty years later, he is one of our most prolific and influential modern photographers. His subject is the American vernacular (especially near his home in the Mississippi Delta). His prints are dye transfers that reveal qualities of light and saturated chromatics, Eggleston almost single-handedly validated color photography as a legitimate artistic medium. This exhibition celebrates the artist's iconic photographs of commonplace subjects that have become an inspiration for generations of artists, musicians, and filmmakers from Nan Goldin to David yrne, the Coen Brothers, and David Lynch.</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Helvetica;">"Impressionism,Fashion, and Modernity" looks at the role of fashion in Impressionist paintings from the mid-1860's to the mid-1880's, connecting actual costumes with paintings, photographs and prints. </span>Paris emerged as the style capital of the world with the rise of the department store, the advent of ready-made wear, and the proliferation of fashion magazines. The show highlights the work of artists in the avant-garde, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Zola, Sonia Delaunay and their contemporaries.<br />

<i>Street</i>, is a new video by the British-born artist James Nares. Over the course of a week in September 2011, Nares—a New Yorker since 1974—recorded sixteen hours of footage of people on the streets of Manhattan from a moving car using a high-definition camera usually used to record fast-moving subjects such as speeding bullets and hummingbirds. He then greatly slowed his source material, editing down the results to one hour of steady, continuous motion and scoring it with music for twelve-string guitar composed and performed by his friend Thurston Moore, co-founder of Sonic Youth.<br />
<br />
"My intention was to give the dreamlike impression of floating through a city full of people frozen in time, caught Pompeii-like, at a particular moment of thought, expression, or activity…a film to be viewed 100 years from now."</div>

This exhibition presents ten works by the contemporary Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich (born 1971), who lives and works in Phnom Penh. Pich works principally in rattan and bamboo, constructing organic open-weave forms that are solid and ethereal, representational and abstract. Much of his work is inspired by elements of the human anatomy or plant life. His constructions combine his training as a painter with the spatial conceptualization of a sculptor, creating three-dimensional objects that are largely defined by their graphic character. Pich's art consciously embodies his memories of culture and place. The exhibition is installed in three spaces in the Asian galleries, including an integration into historical displays, and is part of the Museum's contribution to the New York–wide <span style="color: #6c5e3f;"><b><i><a href="http://seasonofcambodia.org/">Season of Cambodia</a></i></b></span><br />

New York–based artist Wade Guyton (b. 1972) makes bold paintings and drawings like these wall-sized bands of color, using digital technologies: desktop computers, scanners, and giant inkjet printers. Guyton tears photographs from magazines, scans them and prints over them. He includes beautiful printing accidents, misprinted photos, broken graphic bands. The exhibition concludes with a spectacular artwork of broken black bands, over fifty feet long on two opposite walls, that Guyton created specifically for the Whitney space. </div>

Today, I visited the Gagosian Gallery at 980 Madison Ave. near 77th Street, to see the thrilling last paintings of Cy Twombly. I couldn't wait until they came to New York from London. </div>

In our earlier blog, "<a href="http://artbusnyc.blogspot.com/2011/07/mr-twomblys-scribbles.html">Cy Twombly's Scribbles</a>," we wrote about Twombly's early drawings and paintings, his classical Greek scribbles, his chalk scribbles on a blackboard, his color scribbles with soft pastels. Now in his "Last Paintings," his scribbles have grown to be the size of an entire wall. Painting in juicy oranges across acid green, giant loops leave a web of spidery drips. They are exciting paintings. They take you to a lush place Twombly discovered late in his life. So very beautiful. They will be at the Gagosian Gallery through Dec 22. A fitting farewell to an amazing American painter.</div>

This weekend, Puppets on Film, an annual festival from the Jim Henson Foundation, and BAMcinematek, celebrates many different types of puppets. "It's great to see this wide range," said Cheryl Henson, Jim Henson's daughter, and the foundation's president, who organizes the series with Lindsay Briggs. "A lt is being made by young artists on limited budgets. We love the quirky, playful, non corporate, noncommercial approach."<br />

Reading the "Arts, Briefly" a column about art news in the New York Times, on Friday November 9th, 2012, I discovered that one of my favorite children's books, "Goodnight Moon," is now on sale as an interactive app. It was published by Loud Crow Interactive and is available at iTunes for $4.99. The digital version includes a narration and a piano soundtrack. There are two educational add-ons, a "Goodnight Moon" alphabet book and a counting book.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093944150074167285.post-65886558058061264912012-08-20T09:29:00.000-07:002012-08-20T09:52:36.709-07:00Studio Visit: Greenwich House Pottery<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Working on the wheel is amazing. You take a blob of shapeless clay, place it on a wheel, start the wheel turning and press on it with steady hands. It wiggles a bit, but soon, as if by magic, a beautiful pot rises. It grows taller, or wider, as you press it. You stop to admire it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to announce </span><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Christopher Adams</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;"> as its </span><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2012-2013 Resident Artist</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">Of his work, Adams writes: “My ceramic work relates intimately to my interests and experiences outside of art...and falls into the category of ‘organic abstraction.’ The pieces are influenced by a variety of creatures, but none of them represent any specific organism. Instead, the works usually play on biological concepts—speciation, convergence, mimicry—to generate aesthetic novelty. My most recent efforts relate to a series of wall-hanging ceramic biomorphic abstractions that play on the biological speciation concept of adaptive radiation – a phenomenon in which some pioneering organism enters into a relatively untapped environment and differentiates wildly and rapidly while at the same time not departing too dramatically from its original form. All the works in the series are members of an arbitrarily designed family. The population—currently hovering at around 5,000—has been evolving over the last 10 years…pieces range in size from half an inch to four feet in diameter and all are hand-built.”</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> You can do this project at home. It is based on the fantasy forms Christopher Adams creates. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will need some clay or playdoh. Create (shape) some fantasy plant forms. Give them lots of wiggly "arms." Design some insect or animal "creatures." Have they come from another planet? Glue your "creatures" to a wood panel (or heavy cardboard) to create a "world," like Christopher Adams did. Give your "world" a name...and a story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are photographs of the Pilobolus performance of "Skyscrapers" choreographed by Trish Sie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trish created<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4lgOiHBZo"> "Skyscrapers"</a> as a music video for the rock band "OK Go." (Her brother, Damian Kulash, is the band’s lead singer.) The music video shows Trish and dancer Moti Buchboot, as they slowly tango across a string of colorful street backdrops; their costumes change colors with each frame. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trish was a childhood fan of the dance group Pilobolus. She sent Renee Jaworski, at Pilobolus, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4lgOiHBZo">“Skyscrapers"</a> video, and Pilobolus agreed to collaborate on a live performance version. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Music videos are fun to create. Here are some ideas you can try:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Music Video Projects Inspired by Trish Sie</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Colors- select music you feel is "red" (or blue, or yellow) music. Put on clothes in that color. Create movements for the music. What is the "red" feeling of the dance?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Changes- change to blue clothes. Change the music to "blue" music. Create movements for the "blue" music. Is there a different feeling?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Ideas- what other "color" ideas can you come up with for dances? Green frog? Yellow sun? Red rose?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Videos- create music videos of your dances. Talk about your ideas for the videos...the music...the movements...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Friends- invite friends to collaborate with you. Ask them to create dance movements. Talk about the dances together. Rehearse the movements. Perform them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a statue of </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christopher Columbus in Columbus Circle, in New York City. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Usually, we walk past the statue without noticing it. It's just part of the street. But </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi wants us to notice it. He want to change the way we look at the statue of Columbus. So he is constructing a six-story tower around it. What? And, it will have a furnished living room at the top level. Really? When you climb the stairs to the living room above, you will "Discover Columbus," (the actual statue), poking through the floor in the middle of the living room. Fun, yes? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nishi's art is called "conceptual art. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is his sketch of the living room he designed to surround the top of the Columbus statue.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select an object from the kitchen, a whisk perhaps. Select a shoe box. Decorate the box with drawings of shoes. Put the whisk in the box. Close the box. Ask friends what they think is in the box. If they say shoes, you have successfully changed the way they think about what to expect. That's what Nishi does. He changes the surroundings of objects to make you see them in a new way.</span></div>

We cut little lines, crosshatches, along the edges of the "bottom," and wet them a little bit, so we could join them securely.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We painted the pots with "slip glaze," thin clay color. We painted one pink and one blue. Clear, shiny glaze would be painted over the slip.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pots would dry for a week and then be </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'fired," baked in a kiln, a very hot oven (2000 degrees), that would turn the pots from soft mud into something as hard as "stone."

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Project: A Self-portrait (at Greenwich House)</span></b></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Take some paper plates. Look in a mirror. Use a thick marker and draw your portrait. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Place the plate on a slab of clay. Cut out a circle.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Make some coils, (you know, you roll them under your hand). When they are even and pretty thin (but not too thin) use them to "draw" your portrait on the circle. Put a little "slip," (watery clay)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> under the coils to join them to the slab circle.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Let your "portrait" dry. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Paint your portrait with glazes. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greenwich House has the glazes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greenwich House will "fire" the pots for you in their "kiln." A "kiln" melts glass...which is what glazes are made of.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• When your portrait has been "fired," </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greenwich House will mail it to you.</span><br />

Today is America's birthday. I'm not sure how you celebrate a country's birthday. Do you have a birthday party? Do you bake a birthday cake? Do you make t-shirts? Do you light fireworks? I decided I would celebrate America's birthday with a blog called "Happy Birthday America."<br />

More than 200 years ago, there were 13 colonies in America.The colonists were mostly farmers. They were ruled by Great Britain and King George III. King George made life hard for the colonies by demanding high taxes for things the colonists needed, like tea.<br />

It became known as the Declaration of Independence. It promised the people "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." After many revisions, the Declaration was sent to Congress where the fifty-six members signed it.<br />

John Hancock, the leader of the Congress, signed it so flamboyantly that his signature has become an icon, and we say "Put your John Hancock on this document.<br />

The Declaration of Independence described our dream of how we wanted our country to be. We invented a system of government that would give all people what they needed. Benjamin Franklin made his ideas clear when he said,"every man is a property owner, has a vote in Public Affairs, lives in a tidy, warm House, has plenty go good Food and Fuel. with clothes from Head to Foot.<br />
<br />
Every the 4th of July, we celebrate America's birthday and our Declaration of Independence, with fireworks. The people of our nation are constantly working and voting, to make the great ideas of our dream, become more of a reality.<br />

Chagall grew up in Belorusse, on a farm, where he milked cows, planted vegetables, and picked fruit. Later, he moved to the city, to Paris. His paintings remember his happy childhood and seem like dreams filled with imaginary animals and floating people. On the fifth floor.<br />

This painting was painted on the floor. You can feel the arm of the artist moving back and forth, creating a tangle of drips and splashes. He walks around the painting to another side, then another, throwing thin lines of paint from a stick. No-one had ever painted like this before Pollock. On the fourth floor.</div>

Stephen Lepp is a special kind of artist, he is an architect. He designs buildings, schools, libraries, hotels, hospitals, apartment houses, office buildings, vacation homes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Lepp listens carefully as a client describes the kind of building he needs. Then he designs the form of the building: wide, tall, straight, twisting. He selects the materials to build the building: brick, glass, steel, concrete. He designs the entrance and the lobby. He designs the landscape that will surround the building. His team of skilled draftsmen draw the "working" plans that tell the construction teams how to build the building. </div>

Here are three sides of the Queens College Student Center, designed by Steve Lepp. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Project: A Model of Your House</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some architects like to build paper models of their designs for buildings. Try to build a paper model of the building where you live. These are the materials you will need:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Construction paper<br />
A point-and-shoot camera<br />
Scissors<br />
Elmer's glue<br />
Scotch tape<br />
<br />
With an adult:<br />
You are going to construct a paper model, a simple box shape, of the building where you live. You will glue photographs of your building to the outside. You will build the box out of construction paper. Here's how to do it:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
On a sheet of construction paper, draw five rectangles 4"x 4." You will have a center square and one square on each side of the center square. It will look like a big cross shape. (These will be the floor and sides of your building.) </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Photograph the front of your building, and the sides and back of your building. (If you can only photograph the front of your building, don't worry. You can leave the sides and back blank.) Download the photos to your computer and print them. (Keep the image size 4"x4.")</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Cut around the outside edge of the big cross shape, the box, you drew on the construction paper. Make a crease around the middle square (Use a paper clip to press the crease and a small ruler.)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Trim the photos to 4"x4" the same size as the squares. Remember, the middle square is the bottom of the box. Fold the sides of the big cross up so you have the walls of the box. They will form the front, sides, and back of the building. Scotch tape the corners together so the model stands.<br />
<br />
Place the photo of the front of the building in the front of the box. (Make sure the bottom is on the bottom.) Put drops of glue in the corners and glue it on the model. If you have photos of the back and sides of your building, glue them on.<br />
<br />
There. Now you have a small model of the building where you live. Do you want to do the inside???</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Josef Albers was one of the greatest artists and teachers of the 20th Century. He taught a color course at Yale University's School of Art. His students learned that color appears to change depending on the colors that surround it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is an Albers painting: Albers combined four reds: a bright one, a deeper one, an even deeper one, and the deepest one. Notice that the reds seem to curl up. Albers did not mix his colors. He used colors directly from paint tubes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Albers said that if different people chose what they think of as "red" each person would choose a slightly different red. There are many different reds. Here are some studies from a student in the Albers color course.</span><br />

Cut the reds out and create a collage by putting lots of reds together. Paste them down with tiny dabs of glue. Look at all the reds. and choose which one you think is the "real red?" Ask other people to pick their "red." Same one? Different?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One day, Picasso (one of the most famous artists ever), was drawing in his studio. He noticed his guitar on the table and began to make some drawings of it. Then, picking up some loose scraps of cardboard and paper, he decided to put them together to make a playful paper sculpture.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you find some scraps of cardboard, maybe part of a cardboard box, some towel tubes, some string, and put together a "guitar?" Use some Elmer's glue to join the pieces, but wait until they are completely dry (a few hours) before you try to lift your sculpture.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Drip! Splash! Dribble! Splatter! But this painting project makes no mess. Terrific, yes? You can use your iPad computer to blast color across the page. A light touch gives you a fine line. A pause gives you a big splotch. Each time you lift the cursor the color changes. In minutes you can create wonderful networks of Jackson Polllock-like paintings. Go for it!</span></div>

She draws with many different materials, with strings, strips of wood, cut paper, light and shadow, and other materials, always surprising us, reminding us to look, and to see. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sarah's exhibition focuses on the idea of "perspective," a way artists show objects in the distance.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this installation, Sarah uses a group of cut out letters (like an "eye chart.") The letters grow smaller, reminding</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> us that objects in the distance appear smaller.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This artwork amazed me. When you see it up close, it looks like an ordinary notebook page with light blue lines, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">like the pages</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> you use in school. But the bottom of the page turns into a very delicate sculpture that looks like it was made of toothpicks. (Sarah actually printed the notebook page. Then she used a laser process to cut out the "toothpick" sculpture.) It is a drawing and it is a sculpture. It is gorgeous.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cord drawings: Use different thicknesses of cord and thread to create line drawings. Paint a paper with Elmers glue. (Thin it with a little water.) Draw lines with cord on the wet glue. If the glue dries before you are finished, paint some more glue on the paper. You can add some spots of colored paper and other materials.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Erasing boundaries: Glue some colored paper shapes to a page. Cut some small pieces of the colored paper and glue them in the spaces between the shapes to "erase" the edges.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Collage to sculpture: Glue a collage to a page. Turn it into a sculpture with glue, some string and paper shapes you glue to "extend" the bottom edge. Let the string dangle down. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the distance: Cut out some letters in 3 sizes, small medium, large. Make a little fold at the bottom of each letter. Arrange them in rows, large, medium, small. Glue them to a page. When you look through the rows, the small letters will seem to be further away.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is this a painting? Is it a photograph? If you guessed it is a photograph, you are right. It is a photograph by artist Sharon Core. Ms. Core arranges real flowers to recreate old master paintings. Then she photographs them. The photograph looks exactly like the old master painting. So both answers are right: it is a photograph, and it is a painting too. </span></div>

The Children's Museum of the Arts has a new home at 103 Charlton Street. It is light and bright and occupies 10,000 square feet of space. It's spectacular. Very designer.<br />
<br />
CMA’s focus is purely on making art, drawings and sculpture, sound art and stop-motion animation. Their belief is that art can have a positive effect on communities.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The space is divided into "Labs" with long counters. Kids pull up stools and teaching artists offer them art materials and tips on how to use them. There is a Clay Bar for making all sorts of clay art. There is a Media Lab, where kids can film their clay art on landscapes of plastic foam or electronic bits and pieces.<br />
<br />
There is a Sound Lab, where kids can try out electronic music scores.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Question: Can a painting be like a newspaper? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Answer: Sure, when it reports the news of the day.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the New York Times, in 1861, paintings often reported the news. This painting </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told the story of the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> soldiers of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Irish Regiment</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">returning to New York from fighting in the First Battle of Bull Run during the Civil War. It is called </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Return of the 69</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">th</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Regiment, N.Y.S.M,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> From the Seat of War.”
It was painted by artist Louis Lang. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can see New York Bay from Bowling Green. A happy crowd welcomes the soldiers,
flower sellers, fruit vendors, dignitaries, newsboys, happy families. The
newsboy is selling pictures of Colonel Michael Corcoran, who led the Regiment.
The man on the horse is Thomas Francis Meagher, who became a captain in the Regiment.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The painting is huge: 11 feet wide by 7 feet tall. With the frame, it weighs
700 pounds. (It is the largest and heaviest“ newspaper” you’ll ever see.) The New York Historical Society decided to restore the
painting in 2006. They found it in storage, in pieces. Happily, all
the pieces were there. The Williamstown Art Conservation Center in
Massachusetts put the painting back together and restored it. It was like doing a giant jigsaw
puzzle.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We're going to the Pace Gallery on October 27th, to see Alexander Calder's sculpture. His grandson, Alexander Rower, the President of the Alexander Calder Foundation, helped Pace Gallery assemble the exhibition. Calder's sculpture is amazing. He cuts metal shapes and bends them into perfectly balanced sculpture. Sometimes he paints them. Sometimes he hangs them from wires and the slightest breeze makes them move. They appear light as feathers, but we know that all that metal is very heavy. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Alexander Calder (born 22 July 1898 - 11 November 1976) was an American sculptor, one of the giants of American art. He is renowned for his invention of mobiles, hanging steel sculptures, that were so perfectly balanced they could move in the slightest breeze.</span><br />

Build a circus with a few fun circus acts and animals. Or, you can select a familiar book and construct the characters. Create your own special "performance"of the story. "Perform" it for your friends. Do a video of the story.</span></div>
