Influenced by OLPC, focusing on independent learning, I composed a 6000 book Calibre based library (over hundreds of hours) in conjunction with theCenterofthenet.com to teach small groups of parents and students. This online based EMS progressed to customized tablets and eventually about 50 workstations.. Initially adaptation was difficult, requiring the same digital immigrant orientation as previously experienced in the US in 1995, Eastern Germany 96/97 and Chinese classrooms 09+. Customized Ubuntu based systems, containing the library and other supportive apps & utilities were developed, targeting early adaptation starting with children 5-7 with parental support for lifelong learning. Workstations enhanced across the curriculum ESL, with a strong emphasis on self-learning. Initially OneNote based notebooks were utilized, which due to local censorship/scalability issues, evolved into an open source self-created Cherry Tree based SELMS (Self Learning Management System). Manjaro replaced Ubuntu for easier rolling updates and administration. Every single skill I have learned was required to get to this point. You cannot spell teach without “TECH” (not my quote).
We celebrated the art of influence with Delacroix! We painted our own masterpieces inspired by Degas, van Gogh, and Cezanne. We also became a part of the art with a van Gogh-inspired photobooth and enjoyed music from Joey Ryan & The Inks! And, as always, it was all FREE!

Interview with the israeli naive painter Raphael perez in his Solo exhibition " color Intoxication" on QU Art museum Suzhou China
question: As an Israeli artist, how does Israeli culture influence your art?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem and lived there until my twenties - in the paintings of the city of Jerusalem, the capital city of Israel, there are motifs of religious Jews praying, synagogues, and paintings that depict "Jerusalem as the centre of the three religions" Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with the important religious sites for each religion - The Western Wall - for the Jews, the Church of the Sepulchre for the Christians, Al Aqsa Mosque for the Muslims, it is admittedly a conflicted city and full of conflicts, but in the paintings I try to bring a kind of optimistic view of the future of connection between Jews and Arabs.
I have lived in Tel Aviv since 1995 and the liberal, secular city is reflected through the paintings bathed in light and without clouds, Israel is a Mediterranean country with a stretch of coast that borders the desert and there are almost no clouds during the year so there is an expression of clean Israeli light, strong sun almost all year round, Tel Aviv It is a city only 114 years old, it was only founded in 1909, so most of the tall buildings depicted in it are skyscrapers from the last thirty years and the low buildings are from the 1920s to the 1950s, when there was construction in the German Bauhaus style, and Tel Aviv is defined by UNESCO as the "White City" where there are The largest concentration in the world of 4000 Bauhaus buildings, (Shanghai and China also have quite a few Bauhaus buildings) Tel Aviv also has the oriental style of architecture that also combines oriental motifs and arches that also exists in a small part of the iconic buildings in Tel Aviv when the architectural idea of this style was a combination of East and West Through the colourfulness of the urban landscape and the unique Israeli light, I want to bring something from the warm, optimistic Israeli temperament and character.
Israel is ranked 4-6 in the global happiness index, despite the complex security struggle that Israel has been in since its foundation, the Israeli public is warm, energetic, direct, a bit brash, and daring and this can also be seen in the vitality of raising children and a family - Israel is the country with the most children per family in the developed countries... (3.7 per family) and this has even increased in recent years... Israelis put the couple and the family at the centre, therefore there is a motif of couples and families with children, I want to express in this congestion the fact that Israel is a dense, intense, young country, a happy and vibrant start-up nation.
-------------------
question: Can you discuss your artistic process, from concept to creation? What are your inspirations?
Answer: I worked for 15 years with children and was influenced by their naive and spontaneous creativity.
In the working process of the naive urban paintings, I first do research on each and every city that I paint and discover the iconic low and tall buildings from old times to contemporary modern times, choose buildings with a special shape, or buildings that have meaning for the country and the city, rebuild the city with the painter in the centre who stands with a canvas and paints the urban landscape in front of him, usually there are two gardeners with girls holding the flag of the country I am painting, and couples of men and women kissing or families with children, I plan the cities with boulevards of flowers, low bushes, boulevards of trees, after them, I put low buildings and icons, behind them the tops of big trees and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky in some of the paintings I put balloons, kites or if it's at night then stars, or fireworks and lanterns to emphasize the light and shadow... I use acrylic paints on canvas, there are also series of paintings with bright colours, and I like the use of contrasting colours, mainly red on top of the green lawns and the buildings in warm colours of red, orange, yellow, pink against the background of the green trees and the blue sky, very bright colours that bring in a lot of light, optimism, joy.
-----------------------------------
question: What do you hope people take away from your art?
Answer: In the paintings of the urban landscape, I want everyone to see, identify, and connect with the history and experience of the physical place where they live, that they see the development of their country through the costumes, the ancient iconic buildings, with the contemporary skyscrapers.
-------------------
question: The works in this exhibition are on canvas, board, and paper, what materials do you prefer to work with and why?
Answer: I like to work with a variety of materials and techniques... and to express my various skills. The large naive paintings are only in acrylic colours on canvas, in the past I painted realistic paintings of couples and flowers, and they were in oil colours on canvas. There is a large series of artist's books where I work with acrylic paints, ink, markers, pencils, pens,
================
question: Is there an artwork in this exhibition that you feel particularly connected to? Can you share the story behind it? Or is there a particular story you would like to share with the audience?
Answer: My favourite painting in the exhibition is the painting of the city of Suzhou with the water canals and the bonsai trees, in this painting and others I created about cities in China I did research work before, first on the traditional Chinese costumes, the traditional folk temples, Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian temples, Chinese means of transportation Antiquities such as carriages, rickshaws, ships decorated with dragons, ancient Chinese statues, trees that are characteristic of China such as the bonsai, I really liked the water canals that give a feeling of Venice of the Far East, with the special lanterns, the old city of Suzhou is like a beautiful and magical village inside A rich urban landscape, in the centre of the painting I put the famous temple of the city and behind you can see the business centre with the skyscrapers and the famous skyline of the city, I have a desire to combine old with new that brings the glorious tradition of the Chinese people with innovation, progress, and the skyscrapers that make the China to the most influential empire and country in the world ... in the coming decades ...
------------------------
question: Can you tell us about your initial thoughts and ideas for the creation of landscape series? Regarding the painting “Raphael Perez after Reuven Rubin”, could you please share your inspiration and the story behind the creation?
Answer: The painter Reuven Rubin, born in 1893, is one of the most famous painters in Israel, he belongs to a group of several artists called the "national Israeli artists" who painted the landscapes of Israel before its establishment in the twenties and thirties of the last century, paintings in a naive, romantic style, the reality was the opposite, these were days of difficulties Huge economic hardships, poverty, days before the establishment of the state, riots and violence by Arabs against Jews, and in Europe the extermination of a third of the Jewish people in the world, the murder of 6 million Jews, only a few of whom escaped and survived the inferno of the Holocaust.. The Jewish community in Israel was small and faced many challenges and had to transmit optimism to herself, to survive the difficult times, through painting the artists tried to paint an idealization and a shared life between Jews and Arabs, a conflict that exists to this day, and I also have a huge series of naive paintings that deal with the idealization of a shared life.
In the tribute painting to Reuven Rubin, on the right side, you see the Muslim community with traditional clothing, a shepherd, olive trees, Arab villages, and donkeys as their main means of transportation, on the left side of the painting you see the kibbutzniks, the beginning of modern, developed agriculture, belief in Hebrew work and the Jewish labourer who paved roads and build his country... I dedicated five paintings from the tribute series to the five national Israeli artists including Reuven Rubin, Nahum Gutman, Moshe Castel, Israel Peladi, and Yohanan Simon, these artists are the most precious in Israeli art because of the naive and optimistic vision they transmitted in their works, I dedicated a painting to each artist Only one in which I included between 30-50 of his famous works and of course built it with the optimistic colours and symmetrical compositions that are characteristic of me...
These painters are the source of inspiration and I feel obliged to continue their artistic path in the special language I developed...
El sábado pasado concluía la última sesión del seminario “Líderes Influencers”, en esta ocasión el título fue: "LO IMPORTANTE ES LEVANTARSE: FORTALEZA". Comenzaban a las 16.30h tomando un café, a continuación tuvieron varias dinámicas de grupo con Pascual Hernández, socio director de Explora, aplicando la importancia de la fortaleza que radica no en caerse, sino levantarse siempre, llegar a los objetivos sorteando los obstáculos y descubriendo las debilidades que impiden alcanzar las metas, la importancia del trabajo en equipo, soluciones más efectivas etc. Más tarde Diana y Mar Quesada, influencers decoradoras de interiores de Tres Studio (@tres_studio), les contaron su experiencia profesional, cómo comenzaron con las redes sociales, primero con un blog y Facebook, más tarde con Instagram, cómo las distintas situaciones de su vida afectaron este ámbito, hablaron de responsabilidad social, de transmitir valores y nos quedamos con la frase “..nosotras llevamos las redes, las redes no nos llevan a nosotras…” más tarde intervino Juan Martínez Otero, autor del libro "Tsunami digital, hijos surferos" les habló cómo internet ha modificado los hábitos de la sociedad, pero en todos lo casos y situaciones que expuso daba enfoques muy positivos y consejos para enfrentarlas, y para que las redes e Internet no dominen su vida. Tras un descanso y después de la Misa vespertina, tuvieron tertulia con Mario Gil, influencer cómico (@mariuslekker), les contó cómo su hermano le animaba, ya que a él le gustaba crear humor, pero no quería desvelar su vida privada, luego se dio cuenta que era una forma de transmitir valores y hacer humor sano y crear contenidos que fuesen dignos de seguir y sin comprometer su información personal. Tuvieron tiempo de hacerles a todos muchas preguntas e intercambiar experiencias.
Damos las gracias a la coordinadora y artífice de este seminario, Zoimer Quintero que se ha dejado la piel con y por los jóvenes, y a muchas personas que han contribuido a las satisfacción de todos los asistentes como María, Ana…etc.
Sobre todo estamos muy agradecidos con otros influencers que desde muy lejos durante los meses que ha durado el seminario, han estado enviando videos, especialmente nuestra gratitud a mons. Munilla, Obispo de San Sebastián que desde el primer momento nos apoyó en esta iniciativa.

Influence of Natural Objects in Calling Forth and Strengthening the Imagination in Boyhood and Early Youth By William Wordsworth
Innovations in technology have greatly influenced the increased usage of CMS. Wireless technology and increased bandwidth are some of the most important improvements made to the internet.
Sessile oak is a deciduous broadleaf tree native to the UK and most of Europe. Native to the British Isles and to much of western, central and eastern Europe. In Britain it tends to have a more westerly and upland distribution than pedunculate oak but the natural distribution has been much influenced by plantations in previous centuries. Sessile oak can grow up to 20-40m tall. As oaks mature they form a broad and spreading crown with sturdy branches beneath. The leaves are lobed with long leaf stalk. The leaf lobes are shallow. Their open canopy enables light to penetrate through to the woodland floor, allowing bluebells and primroses to grow below, and their smooth and silvery brown bark becomes rugged and deeply fissured with age. The sessile oak is so-named because, unlike the English, or pedunculate oak, its acorns are not carried on stalks (peduncles) but directly on the outer twigs (sessile). It is monoecious, meaning male and female flowers are found on the same tree. Male flowers are green catkins and female flowers are inconspicuous clusters of bracts (modified leaves), which resemble red flower buds. After pollination by wind, female flowers develop into a shiny seed held in a scaly wooden cup, commonly known as an acorn. Young acorns are green, maturing to brown before they fall. Sessile oak is cold hardy and generally windfirm, but can be damaged by late spring frosts. A species of intermediate shade tolerance which can grow well on mineral soils of poor or medium nutrient status. Will tolerate slightly drier soils than pedunculate oak and is not suited to compacted or wet soils. Whether sessile or pedunculate, oak trees support more wildlife than any other native trees. They provide a habitat for more than 280 species of insect, which provides food for birds and other predators. The bark also provides a habitat for mosses, lichens and liverworts, and deadwood cavities for nesting birds and roosting bats. The acorns are eaten by a number of birds and mammals including the jay, badger and red squirrel. What was considered to be the oldest oak tree in the UK was a sessile oak, the Pontfadog Oak. This grew near Chirk in North Wales. It was understood to be over 1,200 years old, an age that was due to regular pollarding for much of its life. The hollow trunk had a girth of 12.9 metres (42 ft 5 in). It was lost in April 2013 when it blew down in high winds. The greyish bark of the Sessile Oak was used in the tanning industry which produced leather. ===Information sourced from=== ift.tt/QX8x0c ift.tt/1XtubPi... ift.tt/2rAiJt4... ift.tt/2p0lC15... ===Scientific classification=== Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Fagales Family: Fagaceae Genus: Quercus Section: Quercus Species: Q. petraea Binomial name Quercus petraea

Modernism is not the brainchild of any person, but a convergence of many ideas and thoughts throughout the decades. With the advent of the industrial revolution and the rapid changing of the times, there was a call for a new way of representation.
The spirit of modernity is the embodiment of the technologies of the times. The use of computational based design within this proposal reflects the age of information - the age of our times. This is a graphical representation of the forces of modernity. People dictate the flows and in turn affect others. Names of influential modern designers/architects of the 20th century, such as Gerrit Rietveld, Norman Foster and Alvaro Siza, serve as the poles in which forces (lines) radiate from. This in turn develops into a ripple effect. They act as philosophical and physical forces of influence.
