Firstly I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to send in an application to join our Design Team. When I first launched the call for new Designers, I felt like an anxious hostess at a party, wondering if anyone would turn up. Well I needn't have worried, we have received far more applications than I anticipated and it's been a real treat seeing all your artwork. Tomorrow (Friday 31st Jan 2014) is the absolute last day I will accept any more applications, then we have the mammoth task of going through them all carefully. Everyone who applied should have received an email from me just to acknowledge that I have received the application. If you have sent me your application and not heard anything, please get in touch. Now onto today's news - it's end of the month which means we are launching our February stamps! This month we've taken Charles Rennie Mackintosh as our inspiration and our talented artist, Sue, has once again come up with a beautiful interpretation of that very classic Glasgow style. We have Mackintosh Windows: and Mackintosh Beauty: Naturally there's a money saving multi-buy if you can't choose between them. And finally, I've put together a little mini set of sentiments using some really lovely Mackintosh inspired fonts. Click on any of the images above to go to the product on the website. This card features the lady from Mackintosh Rose, watercoloured with a mix of Distress and Memento markers (scribbled onto an acrylic block and mixed with water). She is stuck onto an embossed panel then I've added some very subtle shading in the background using a Crafter's Workshop Template called Echoes. Professor Polymer is busy making the Mackintosh Sentiments as fast as his little fingers will go, but we sold out of our first batch by lunchtime, so we can see this is going to be a very popular set. Even if we are out of stock, you can still order them, just allow an extra day or two for us to process your order and get them sent. Watch out as always for the lovely artwork coming up and have a great weekend!

There are lot's of places that I could improve my curriculum and one of those places is with art history. I fight a little internal battle when thinking about Art History. Who do you cover? I have the kids 28 hours in a year, so in that amount of time do you cover Art that will be recognizable? Art that is modern, or ancient? Do you cover American or Global Artist and how do you celebrate Art History? Do you recreate, lecture, or simply share?? It might be the next Monster Medium or #ProcessPigs series. OK... deep thought done for today, let me share the latest artwork concentrating on direction of line but also inspired by Charles Mackintosh, a Scotish Artist. So maybe this is part of my reservations with covering an Artist... I'm not sure if I'm 100% accurate... I did my research and I paid attention in Art History Class (most of the time), but I need to cover this artist in terms that a first grader can understand. So here is my attempt on Charles Mackintosh. I tried to break down the steps of this rose for my students. This was actually more successful that I expected with my 1st graders. I have even had kids use this rose outside of class. I love when kids take what they learned in class, and they recreate it in a new way... That's the goal, right? Sure, this is a canned lesson. When teaching this, one might think that they would all turn out the same. I guess, to a certain extent they do, but I was really excited when I started seeing some of the compositions coming from these 6 and 7 year-old artist. The MAIN concept here was direction of lines; vertical, horizontal and diagonal. They rocked it... accidently for the most part. But that's why I love kids art work, it's rarely over-thought. Class two, they did a little coloring with crayons and watercolors. Again, I would not have chosen the direction many of the kids took with their colors, but WOW! They turned out stunning. For this lesson, I had them finish up with a little assessment to assure they had the direction of lines understood. The assessment was placed on the back of their artwork to communicate the goals of the lesson to parents. I also asked these kids to mount their work by themselves. Again, that went better than I thought and it taught them the concept of finishing a work for display.

Product Details Material: Paper Dimensions (cm): H 50 x W 70 x D 0.5 Dimensions (in): H 19.7 x W 27.6 x D 0.2 Weight: 100g We are proud children and heirs of Guido Crepax. In our family home, there is a huge nineteenth-century Dutch wardrobe. Years ago, our father converted the wardrobe into an archive to store his artwork, filling it with lithographs, serigraphs and other prints on various materials (including paper of all kinds, cork sheets and metal). Guido Crepax began this new activity in the early 1970s, at the time of the first exhibitions of his works and the Valentina comic strip series. The gallery owner or printer always reserved a certain number of copies of these limited editions, numbered or classified as an artist's proof. We decided to reopen this wardrobe, keeping certain copies for the archive and for our homes, but we believed it right to make the last of the signed prints available to passionate collectors.Archivio Crepax

"The White Rose and the Red Rose" 1902 by Margaret Macdonald Hunterian Art Gallery Mackintosh collections 99.0 cm x 101.5 cm Gesso, painted, set with glass beads and shell; on hessian on a wooden stretcher About the Art This gesso panel formed part of an exhibition setting 'The Rose Boudoir' which the Mackintoshes exhibited at a major international exhibition in Turin in 1902. This is their duplicate of the exhibition piece. The panel is one of the finest surviving examples of Macdonald's work in gesso, retaining its original finish and ornament. Gesso, a plaster-based medium, is applied to a support - here burlap, and worked to a variety of finish, from the broad swirls of the background to the porcelain-like finish of the faces. The fine lines were piped onto the surface like icing. The symbolic meaning of the subject is not clear, but the rose is generally accepted as a symbol of love and art in the Mackintoshes' work. Margaret Macdonald was one of the most outstanding women artists in Glasgow and arguably in the UK at the turn of the last century. Her achievements with the use of gesso- plaster- for decorative panels were among the most creative of their time. The image shows the item on public display in The Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Art Gallery. About the Artist Margaret Macdonald (1864 - 1933) Born Margaret Macdonald, at Tipton, near Wolverhampton, her father was a colliery manager and engineer. Margaret and her younger sister Frances both attended the Orme Girls' School, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. In the 1881 census Margaret, aged 16, was said to be a scholar. By 1890 the family had settled in Glasgow and Margaret and her sister, Frances Macdonald, enrolled as students at the Glasgow School of Art. There she worked in a variety of media, including metalwork, embroidery, and textiles. She was first a collaborator with her sister, and later with her husband, the architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Her most dynamic works are large gesso panels made for the interiors that she designed with Mackintosh, such as tearooms and private residences. Together with her husband, her sister, and Herbert MacNair, she was one of the most influential members of the loose collective of the Glasgow School known as "The Four". She exhibited with Mackintosh at the 1900 Vienna Secession, where she was arguably an influence on the Secessionists Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann. Macdonald was celebrated in her time by many of her peers, including her husband who once wrote in a letter to Margaret "Remember, you are half if not three-quarters in all my architectural work ..."; and reportedly "Margaret has genius, I have only talent." It is not known exactly which of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's works Margaret was involved with (or the extent to which she worked on them) but she is credited with being an important part of her husband's figurative, symbolic interior designs. Many of these were executed at the early part of the twentieth century; and include the Rose Boudoir at the International Exhibition at Turin in 1903, the designs for House for an Art Lover in 1900, and the Willow Tea Rooms in 1902. Poor health cut short Margaret's career and, as far as is known, she produced no work after 1921. She died in 1933, five years after her husband.
