Pink had the perfect response — as always — to a Twitter troll.
Unlike the majority of the Camden Town Group [Group of British Post-Impressionist artists active 1911-1913] - Walter Richard Sickert was recognised during his own lifetime as an important artist, and in the years since his death has increasingly gained a reputation as one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century British art.
It's been a while since I've posted a project - it always seems to be that I'll have a couple of weeks where we are "in process", then sudd...
This awesome tee features Tulip, created by the English poster artist and teacher of design Tom Eckersley. Eckersley developed a style that emphasized geometric forms, flat graphic designs emphasizing shape rather than depth of perspective, and a strong use of contrast by several means, including varying the size of elements, or using stark lines and shadowing with gradients. This classic unisex jersey short-sleeve tee fits like a well-loved favorite. Soft cotton and quality print will make you fall in love with it over and over again. These t-shirts have ribbed knit collars to bolster shaping. The shoulders have taping for better fit over time. Dual side seams hold the garment's shape for longer. * 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton * Light fabric (4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²)) * Side seamed * Shoulder-to-shoulder tape and seamed collar * Double-needle sleeve and bottom hems * Retail Fit - Designed for a more tailored look. If you prefer more room in the body, we suggest that you size up in this fit. Please refer to size chart
Here's a great idea I spotted on Pinterest.... I tried this lesson with my middle school students and they had so much fun with it! I originally used a copy machine to enlarge students' fingerprints. It was cumbersome and time-consuming. But then I figured out a faster, easier, and better way! For detailed instructions with photos, tips, writing prompts, a student gallery, and fascinating fingerprint facts, check out my fun resource on TPT! My pdf also comes with 3 ready-to-use fingerprint enlargements in case you don't have time to take students' actual fingerprints. This can also be helpful for students who arrive late or miss the first day when you work on these. Optional... use colored pencils to lightly add some designs in the background before tracing over your writing with Sharpie. This will personalize your self-portrait even more!
I work very hard to make my classroom comfortable and inviting to my students. I've not had one Saturday to myself since July. I hope they appreciate it.
We watch House every week. Yep, we know that the whole thing is preposterous; what major (or even minor) hospital, just to get started, has an adminstrator/dean of medicine who not only wears miniskirts but has time to know every case in the ER? The big draw is Hugh Laurie; I've been a fan since Blackadder days, and loved the Jeeves and Wooster shows with Stephen Fry. House is a mope, but Hugh's a hoot....

I’ll tell you a secret. I judge fonts based on the quality of the ampersand. You can tell how detail-oriented a font designer is by the amount of effort he/she put into designing this single character. Seriously. The best ones have ampersands that can be printed out as art. Another designer was asking for suggestions […]
A magical educational art box for children, with art projects, inspiration from artists and quality materials. Animals, both real and imagined, have long been a favourite subject in art. Part of their beauty lies in their versatility as subjects: they are often used as symbols, but they can also be majestic creative muses in their own right. In this art box we look at creatures big and small, from wild animals with Franz Marc, Salvador Dali and Durer, to farm animals with Picasso and Tracey English, and finally at bugs and butterflies with Louise Bourgeois and Lois Ehlert. The 'Awesome Animals' art box includes: A booklet introducing the theme, with information about artists, art styles and techniques. Clear instructions on seven art projects, appropriate for children of any age (4 years and above), with tips to tailor each project for little ones. Quality art materials: A set of acrylic paints, paintbrush, styrofoam sheet and water-colour paper. LoLA book recommendations for further reading on artists and art styles.

Those that travel know that the greatest souvenirs are not tacky trinkets or overpriced memorabilia, but the stories, trivia, and memories. Some people love to travel so much that they've amassed a wealth of knowledge about other countries and their experiences there, and naturally, they share them to anyone that wants to listen. Which is most of the time, because many people find these facts interesting. One of such people is Malachi Ray Rempen, a half-American, half-German born in Switzerland (that's about as international as a birth can get), who creates comics about the things he's seen and heard about many other cultures, their language, and customs. Considering how sensitive the topic is, the author of the comics does pretty well to avoid sounding rude or negative, and portrays his insights in a funny way. Funnily enough, the United States, the leader of the free world, is the most frequent butt of the joke, but that's alright, as Americans are usually able to take some banter. Anyway, here's the "Itchy Feet" comic about "Travel and Language," as the title describes.
