I recently posted some illustrations by the great watercolor artist John Gannam, who had an astute eye for color. But before he became famous for his use of color, Gannam did hundreds of black and white spot illustrations in the 1930s and 40s for lesser publications. Many artists treated such assignments as hack work to rush through. However, Gannam applied himself and learned valuable lessons from black and white pictures which served him well when he later painted color illustrations. Specifically, he learned from black and white illustrations to master value, which refers to the darkness or lightness of a color. Working in black and white, Gannam taught himself to control the "value structure" of his pictures, balancing blacks and whites and grays. He mastered tonality and contrast and learned to make his pictures eminently readable. I find Gannam's control over the value scale in pictures such as this one absolutely astounding: If you don't think this is hard to do, try it sometime. For years, Gannam refined his color skills by doing black and white pictures. As Gannam's career advanced, color slowly crept into his illustrations: When Gannam later graduated to full page color illustrations, he had great appreciation for the values of the colors he used. Much of the strength of his color paintings came from the lessons he learned during that long apprenticeship doing black and white pictures.
Wonder Woman's creator, William Moulton Marston, had a secret life: He had a wife and a mistress and fathered children with both of them. Jill Lepore explains in The Secret History of Wonder Woman.
Victorian era etiquette was rigorous, and the rules and rituals one had to follow after a death in the family were particularly strict, even though they were only enforced by social pressure. A widow was expected to grieve for two and a half years, with her activities, dress, and demeanor proscribed in every detail. That included wearing black crape, a stiff, heavily-dyed type of silk, with a veil to hide her tears. These requirements made some fabric and clothing manufacturers rich, but they weren't so ...

It has snowed so much! School keeps getting canceled, not that I miss school, but I do miss getting out of the house for something other than work :( Although, I do not want to repeat the walking through paths filled with muddy sludge, trying to make it to my classes, I kind of wish we had classes. I also am worried about the assignments and classwork that are piling up. I am looking for things to keep me busy. There is only so much shoveling one can do! I was looking through Harper's Weekly Newspaper from February 16th 1861 and found a few cute etchings. I can barely ice skate normally, I can only imagine trying to skate with hoops and a dress on. I always joke that sometime I will go to the local ice skating rink, all dressed up Civil War style (We've been bowling in period dress, other bowlers are surprisingly polite to you.) I wonder if they would allow us to skate? I'm guessing falling would be a big affair as you could end up exposing some things you'd rather not. Ice Skating was a popular winter pastime in the 1800s for all economic classes in the United States. Frozen ponds and lakes were commandeered by anxious skaters and many guides teaching skating were available. The rinks, being natural, were not as smooth as the ice we know today. They had to skate on all of the natural frozen bumps and the grooves of the other skaters. Some ladies brought chairs with them to be pushed about on the ice by a sweetheart or brother. A good engraving of this can be seen in The American Boy's Book (1864) as well as period instructions and diagrams for learning how to ice skate. There is also a virtual ice skate museum which has photographs of various historical ice skates. I am partial to the Holland 1850s ice skates on the main page there. They are so dainty! I don't know of any lakes or ponds that allow ice skating. But I think I've had enough frozen outdoor activity. :D This is a picture of my sister, after we had successfully located the mailbox. That was after we found the road...which took a while. See the road below? :D This is a Harper's Weekly engraving entitled "Skating Carnival in Brooklyn" February 10, 1862. Many people watched skaters on ice, even if they didn't participate themselves. They look like they are having fun--especially the men in ladies' clothing. This drawing is a diagram from the American Boy's Book. I like how guys weren't afraid to be touching. Today, guys are afraid to even sit in the seat next to their friends at the movies (creating the hilarious group of guys each with an empty seat in between them.)

Ahoy Thar Mateys: Celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th in style and your students will want to swab their desks! These activities are sure to have ye class using de pirate jargon an havin some fun whilst integratin readin and writin. It might even be fun to dress as a pirate, and ask the children to bring in any pirate books they have to share with the class…maybe even a pirate hat or two would help set the scene. However there is a template to make a 3-D Pirate hat that you can use for this idea! Hey, Let's make any day and fun day and Talk like a Pirate!! You can also make a 3-D pirate hat with the directions included in this packet! Everyone can go home as a “pirate” Ideas: Share the book: “How I Became a Pirate” by Melinda Long/ Illustrated by David Shannon. (It is the best fiction pirate book out there for young readers!) Before you read the story, give children “Thinking Partners”. As you read stop every few minutes to have children discuss the story by asking questions that encourage making predictions, inferences and cause and effect. As you ask these questions, have the partners share their ideas and then share a few out with the class. This Think/Pair/ Share is a great way for all the children to be engaged in the story as you read. Think of what strategies your class needs and ask questions accordingly. When you are finished with the story you may start to use the pirate jargon which is listed on the next page in the packet and below in this description. Feel free to look up more phrases on the internet, but these are the most common and appropriate for young learners. You may even want them to infer what each phrase means as you use them. This will get your class thinking critically while having fun. As a follow-up you may use the craftivity where the children make themselves as a pirate and respond by saying what they would do if they found the treasure or the BME to sequence the story or any of the Writing frames included!. Hint: I buy inexpensive blush form the dollar store to let the children blush their cheeks on their project…needless to say the girls love it!!! The project can then be put together and glued (optional) onto 12 X18 construction paper. Here’s What is Included: 2 girl and 2 boy head and shoulder templates 1 plain template where they can choose to create their own hair and face as well as some hair choices that can be run off or they can use construction paper for hair. Pirate Telescopes and eye patches to use with the pirates. Colored and Black and White Parrots. Colored and black and White Treasure Chest. One page of Pirate Jargon. 6 differentiated writing frames with different lines and writing support. One has Pirate jargon, the rest do not, frames and open ended writing is included, various lines to write on depending on your class. Various Pirate hat choices for your kids and for the pirates they create. FUN FOR EVERYONE! WORDS and PHRASES that pirates use: These can be used during the day or in a Morning Message. You can also write them on the Smart Board for children to make inferences about the meaning of these phrases. Thar: there Swab: clean Avast ye: Stop and pay attention Ahoy there Matey: hello and goodbye Shiver me timbers: wow, shock or disbelief Ye: You/your/their Me likes: I like Arrrr: angry ending to a word. Here is a Post you might want to check out about Special Days to Celebrate in September When talking like a pirate make sure you slur your words. ****************************************************************** Thank you for purchasing, downloading, browsing, following and inspiring!

Джон Тенниел (John Tenniel) известен нам в первую очередь как иллюстратор кэрроловской Алисы. Это, разумеется, не единственные его работы. Тенниел был одним из ведущих карикатуристов Панча (бандиты у него особенно узнаваемые) и, кроме того, иллюстрировал художественную…

Matryoshka is a traditional wooden doll that usually consists of several dolls inside each other (same shape, but different sizes). Matryosha was first made in 1890 to show national dresses differencies, but rapidly became popular. Its name is based on popular in the end of 19th century female first name Matryosha or Matryona. We asked Barbara Ana to create special doll in stitches and have to say it was not an easy journey for a spanish designer. But Barbara dealt perfectly! Welcome vivid, contemporary, but still traditional Matryoshka. ZIP is our new international package that is super light and has no added volume, so your postal rate is as low as possible. If you wish to have a kit in a tube, please let us know (postage will be higher).
