JOHN FARLEIGH Wood Engraving. This print from the original block (completed in 1950) was published in the now almost unobtainable Spring 1950 edition of Image Quarterly, an issue given over entirely to English wood engraving. Printed on Basingwerk Parchment at the Shenval Press, this is a very good quality print as one would expect from this publishing house. The reproduction was overseen by Robert Harling (Alphabet & Image, Image Quarterly etc.), hence its quality. There is a depth of colour in the black ink which is not adequately conveyed by the photo. Sheet size c.10x7.25ins.. Unmounted. There is a further print to the reverse which does not show through. Our usual packaging: Beautifully presented in cello bag backed by acid-free card. Will be also sent in cardboard reinforced DO NOT BEND envelope. Where possible, we also include a sheet with information about the print.
Many years before the Cylindre Sonore, (see previous post), in 1969, Leitner began his research on sound defined space. A room composed of 64 loudspeakers, the Soundcube allowed for the sounds to travel from one side to another, circling, spiraling, changing in pitch and direction.
How books can inspire artist studies in your classroom In my previous post, I shared with you the book, "Perfect Square" by Michael Hall which we read aloud in our circletime. As another followup to our book, we explored the painting process by painting squares in the style (or influence) of Piet Mondrian...
So this is a different sort of surprise for me: I sewed 12 garments this year, which is definitely more garments than I sewed in the previous 20 years combined! Granted, they are extremely simple little clothes, averaging maybe a yard and a quarter apiece. But I also haven’t sewn since sometime around mid-August — so really I […]
By Lauren Schleider in Art Business Advice > Selling Art Online In 2016, art insurance group Hiscox stated that online art sales jumped 24% from the previous year, totalling $3.27 billion in artist earnings. E-commerce has certainly evened out the playing field for artists at different career levels, but a huge problem remains: in a vast sea of online platforms, how can individual artists stand out from the pack to forge meaningful connections and boost their sales? Increasingly, the answer is in […]

Of all the areas of math, our 10-year-old isn't especially fond of geometry. To give him a little extra protractor practice, I thought up this angles game. Anytime he has the chance to beat me, his attitude is "bring it" so I knew this would pique his interest. What You Need to Play PDF of the Earth game board and angles cards Paper Protractor plastic sheet protectors (optional) Pencil (or if using sheet protectors, fine-tip dry-erase markers) Assembly Download the PDF free from Google Drive here. Print one Earth for each player (or team if you're doing this as a classroom activity). Print two or more copies of the angles cards. Cut out and shuffle. If you anticipate playing over and over, slide the Earth pictures into a plastic sheet protector. This make your game boards dry-erase. How to Play With the cards shuffled and placed faced down, each player takes a card on their turn and then lining up the protractor with the start line, draws in the angle stated on the card. On their next turn, the reference line becomes the line just drawn, instead of the start. The first player to get all around the world (i.e. past the start line) is declared the winner of the race! Read This math activity got us thinking about what life was like in different places across the globe. To further our understanding of cultures and time zones, we read a wonderful book that lead us on a journey that only took a single moment in time.
I love teaching the Elements of Literature! I think it's vital to students understanding what it takes to make a good story (long or short) so they are able to add it to their own stories. Today we expanded from Monday's foldable for PLOT. See the EofLit foldable. We created a page for the basic steps of PLOT: PLOT: sequence of events, cause/effect, conflict, relationships. *the storyline* EXPOSITION: meet the characters; learn about the setting (time & place; where/when); conflict/problem is introduced RISING ACTION: conflict(s) develop; suspense builds CLIMAX: turning point; character faces conflict; main character's attitude changes FALLING ACTION: loose ends are tied up; conflict(s) are being solved RESOLUTION: reasonable ending; conflict is "resolved" (taken care of Using the idea for Dinah Zike's "Layered Notebook Foldable, I created a 4"x6" box with a 1/2" border at the top. I was able to fit two on each page then photo-copied them onto six different colors (I chose "fall" colors...you can choose anything!). Each page supplied two students with boxes; I had them cut them out on the solid black lines. Then, I had them write the above terms and definitions on their papers (one on each paper for a total of six.) NOTE: I created an "Anchor Chart" of the basic page and had that on my whiteboard. I made copies of each page on an 8-1/2"x11" sheet of paper in the colors I wanted them to use and showed them how to layer them using magnets. I LOVED the Anchor Chart idea! {it was fun writing REALLY big! :) }Then we glued them in the Interactive Notebook, dated and titled it, then added it to the Table of Contents. All in all, I'd say it went well. It took about 30 minutes to complete (less if they focuses...more if they talked...). Anchor Chart and notes at the beginning of class.
