From her studio in St. Petersburg, artist Elena Zaycman creates delicate flowers and tropical plants from vibrant stained glass. She strays from the traditional two-dimensional panels to produce lifelike forms that resemble fleshy petals and curved leaves found in nature. Whether a pair of tulips or fanned palm, Zaycman’s translucent designs refract light and cast tinted shadows in an array of organic shapes around the space. Having worked with the medium for nearly a decade, the artist tells Colossal that prior to creating the smaller sculptures she collaborated with her sister on expansive projects that required a lengthy, complex installation in homes and other spaces.

On Friday, June 26, we mourned the passing of Milton Glaser on the very day he turned 91. Today, Monday, June 29, we celebrate the birth of Armin Hofmann as he turns 100. Hofmann has given much as artist, designer and teacher to the worlds of design and designers, about which I offer a brief analysis (below). Christopher Pullman, meanwhile, provides an appreciation about Hofmann's time teaching at Yale here. Reaching the century milestone is a major accomplishment. It makes S
2019 Disclaimer: As I'm becoming more informed about cultural appropriation, I've become aware that I probably did not have all the background necessary to do this project justice. With that being said, as art educators we all need to do what is best for our students to meet their needs. Feel free to read on.. but I'm not sure that I would teach this lesson again. To learn more about cultural appropriation in art education, please check out this wonderfully informative article by Artful Artsy Amy. To begin this project I began by showing my 4th graders a powerpoint that I put together that explored the totem poles created by the Pacific Northwest Native Americans. We talked about how the totem poles were typically stylized images of animals that often represented people, events, or even whole communities! We also talked about how animals often have associated human characteristics - for example a dog is loyal, an owl is wise, a fox is sly, etc. After viewing the powerpoint, I had students figure out which animal they thought best represented themselves and practice sketching stylized versions of it on a worksheet I created. I emphasized repeatedly that students should avoid just drawing the outline of their animal, and instead just use the shape of the posterboard itself as the body (this took A LOT of reinforcement for some students). Once students were pleased with their sketch, they were given a piece of 14"x12" white posterboard and redrew their animal onto the board in pencil. This was then traced over in black sharpie. Once the drawing was completed, students used tempera paint to add color to their animals. Once the painting was finished, I used strips of posterboard stapled to the back of their boards to make their pieces 3-dimensional. Students that finished early had the opportunity to use construction paper to add more detail. Once the entire class was finished I assembled the totem poles by stacking the individual components together and taping them.

Utilizing vintage tennis rackets, T-shirts, and tie-dyed fabrics as canvases, Danielle Clough’s expressive embroideries (previously) sport summery motifs like flamingo pool floats, bright citrus, and bucket hats. The artist continues to expand upon the traditional hoop as the framing device and considers how the medium translates to unexpected surfaces like surfboards or apparel. And she isn’t afraid to experiment: her design for a surfboard—a bird perched on a large flower with a stem that trails into loose threads—didn’t go as planned when the time came to apply the piece to the physical board.

Le charbon de bois est souvent utilisé dans la culture des plantes d'intérieur pour plusieurs raisons : Drainage et aération du sol : Le charbon de bois est poreux, ce qui permet une meilleure circulation de l'air et de l'eau dans le sol. Lorsqu'il est mélangé avec le terreau, il aide à améliorer le drainage, évitant ainsi l'accumulation d'eau stagnante qui peut entraîner la pourriture des racines. Filtration de l'eau : Le charbon de bois a des propriétés filtrantes et peut aider à éliminer les impuretés et les toxines de l'eau d'irrigation. Cela peut être particulièrement utile si vous utilisez de l'eau du robinet, qui peut contenir des produits chimiques tels que le chlore. Contrôle des odeurs : Le charbon de bois est un excellent absorbant d'odeurs. En l'incorporant dans le substrat de vos plantes d'intérieur, il peut aider à éliminer les odeurs désagréables, notamment celles liées à la décomposition organique ou à l'excès d'humidité. Prévention des maladies et des parasites : Le charbon de bois a des propriétés antifongiques et antibactériennes. Son utilisation dans le sol peut contribuer à prévenir certaines maladies des plantes causées par des champignons ou des bactéries. De plus, il peut dissuader certains parasites nuisibles, tels que les larves d'insectes, de se développer dans le sol. Il convient de noter que le charbon de bois doit être utilisé avec modération, car une quantité excessive peut affecter l'équilibre du sol et nuire aux plantes. Il est recommandé de mélanger le charbon de bois avec le substrat ou le terreau existant, généralement à raison de 10 du volume total du mélange.

Here at Wandering Educators, we are often asked to define cultural travel. My short answer to that: Cultural travel is deep, local, insightful; always seeking to learn; a way of experiencing a culture from the inside - as a participant, instead of a tourist. If you want the long answer, let’s sit down over brunch and delve in. When you travel, do you seek meaningful experiences, a chance to learn, a journey to share a culture and community as a participant, rather than a tourist? We do, too. It’s important, in our journeys, to exhibit ethnorelativism and curiosity.
