This is the Great Horned Owl sculpture, behind the Georgian mansion at Belmont Audubon Habitat. It was created by Mary Taylor and installed in June 2002. It was presented to Elizabeth and Elisha Atkins, "Whose love of the environment and dedication to Habitat have nourished generations of naturalists, artists, and educators."

Alana, an educator at the zoo, holds a turtle at a fundraising event. Certain zoo residents are identified as "ambassador" animals, who travel to educational functions, parties, and fundraising banquets like the one last night.

I took this photo of Heather, educator, metal artist, Mom, and non-profit owner and Director, mentioned to me that she never takes a good photo.

 

I showed her this one as I was completing a shoot of one of her classes. Reluctantly she said, "Well OK, there's one good one."

 

I thought this would be a good photo to illustrate the mertis of monochromes . . . black and white and sepia.

Commemorated on a new mural in Sarasota’s Rosemary District, Emma E. Booker began teaching at Sarasota County’s first black school in 1918. At a time of racial segregation, the school was starved of resources, with old orange crates being used as desks and relying on hand-me-down books discarded from white schools. Eventually achieving recognition for her pioneering efforts, Emma E. Booker gave her name to a local elementary school - which President George W. Bush was visiting when he was informed of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Educator, medical assistant, author and artist Takeshi Yamada was born and raised at a traditional and respectable house of samurai in Osaka, Japan in 1960. He studied art at Nakanoshima College of Art in Osaka, Japan. As an international exchange student of Osaka Art University, he moved to the United States in 1983 and studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA and Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1983-85, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1985.

Yamada’s “Visual Anthropology Artworks” reflects unique, distinctive and often quickly disappearing culture around him. In 1987, Yamada moved to Chicago, and by 1990, Yamada successfully fused Eastern and Western visual culture and variety of cross-cultural mythology in urban allegories, and he became a major figure of the River North (“SUHU” district) art scene. During that time he also developed a provocative media persona and established his unique style of super-realism paintings furnishing ghostly images of people and optically enhanced pictorial structures.

His passion for Cabinet of Curiosities started when he was in kindergarten, collecting natural specimens and built his own Wunderkammer (German word to express “Cabinet of Curiosities“). At age eight, he started creating “rogue taxidermy monsters” such as two-headed lizards, by assembling different parts of animal carcasses.

 

Internationally, Yamada had over 600 major fine art exhibitions including 50 solo exhibitions including Spain, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Columbia, and the United States. Yamada also taught classes and made public speeches at over 40 educational institutions including American Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State Museum, Laurenand Rogers Museum of Art, International Museum of Surgical Science, University of Minnesota, Montana State University, Eastern Oregon University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Mount Vernon Nazarene College, Salem State College, Osaka College of Arts, Chemeketa Community College, Maryland Institute College of Art, etc. Yamada’s artworks are collection of over 30 museums and universities in addition to hundreds of corporate/private art collectors internationally. Yamada and his artworks were featured in over 400 video websites. In addition, rogue taxidermy artworks, sideshow gaffs, cryptozoological artworks, large sideshow banners and showfronts created by Yamada in the last 40 years have been exhibited at over 100 of state fairs and festivals annually nationwide, up to and including the present.

A couple hundred makers, teachers and parents gathered at the 2nd Maker Educator Convening, held May 17 - 18, 2016, at The Crucible in Oakland, CA. This was my first conference as a maker art teacher, and it was a great way to connect with other educators and learn from each other.

 

We started with a visit of The Crucible, an amazing arts school that offers youth and adult classes in glass blowing, woodworking, jewelry, welding and more -- a great model for planning our own makerspaces ( thecrucible.org/ ) .

 

We then watched and discussed 'Most Likely to Succeed', an excellent documentary on education in the 21st century ( www.mltsfilm.org/ ). It shows examples of hands-on, project-based, student-driven and collaborative learning -- and how this new approach can help students find a sense of purpose and develop invaluable 'soft skills', not just technical skills.

 

The morning keynote by Nichole Pinkard was also very inspiring, as she presented her findings from the Digital Youth Network in Chicago, and led a discussion about deepening the impact of maker education by bridging learning frameworks.

 

We then got our hands dirty to map our maker educator network, using blinking LEDs, post-it notes and pipe cleaners to represent our various schools and makerspaces on a U.S. map -- which showed clearly that a majority of participants came from California.

 

We spent the rest of the day hearing lightning talks about maker ed, brainstorming ideas, sharing best practices and starting new collaborations. A very productive event!

 

Many thanks to the team at MakerEd.org for organizing this gathering. They do a fine job connecting teachers and resources, both at events like these and online: makered.org/

Notes: Contains numerous photogravure plates of photographs by Lewis Hine. Lewis Hine was trained to be an educator in Chicago and New York. A project photographing on Ellis Island with students from the Ethical Culture School in New York galvanized his recognition of the value of documentary photography in education. Soon after, he became a sociological photographer, establishing a studio in upstate New York in 1912. For nearly ten years Hine was the photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, contributing to exhibitions and the organization's publication, The Survey. Declaring that he "wanted to show things that had to be corrected," he was one of the earliest photographers to use the photograph as a documentary tool. Around 1920, however, Hine changed his studio publicity from "Social Photography by Lewis W. Hine" to "Lewis Wickes Hine, Interpretive Photography," to emphasize a more artistic approach to his imagemaking. Having joined the American Red Cross briefly in 1918, he continued to freelance for them through the 1930s. In 1936 Hine was appointed head photographer for the National Research Project of the Works Projects Administration, but his work for them was never completed. His last years were marked by professional struggles due to diminishing government and corporate patronage, and he died in 1940 at age sixty-six. (source: Getty Museum)

During the diabetes education training in the Philippines. May2015

This booklet was property of Mrs. Irene Schultz (deceased) in honor of 25 years of service to this organization. It is approximately 1/2" thick. She began her career at Educational Testing Service in 1965. She worked for Jack Hollister (Henry Chauncey's executive associate) in Conant Hall until he retired. She then branched out to other locations throughout this sprawling campus of educators, sports fans, foodies and maniacs. She brought me in as a young teen to learn about working in the office environment, hierarchy and social climbing which I wanted no part of. I did learn something about research, computers, word processing, cars and fishing as they had some beautiful ponds as well as a fabulous cafeteria and got some great exercise. They did not have childcare facilities.

 

I also learned about office socialization which consisted of frequent wine & cheese parties, smoking, bullying, preying on the less fortunate, weight shaming, drinking, lunch dates, and golfing to name a few. There were some good people there, some younger and much older than my Mother, some insanely gifted people and some who actually did their jobs - that was refreshing - I can name three (Ms. Marge Ragosta, Mr. Richard Murphy and Mr. Harold Crane). I left ETS to begin work at Princeton University in the comptroller's office then later to the graphic arts department. Transportation to and from home was a challenge and at times I went with Mom to Princeton where I either walked or took a taxi to where I worked. That in itself was a challenge as I had not yet learned to defend myself as well as I wish I had. Dad was either fishing, sleeping or working.

 

Some of the buildings on this campus were named for warlords and some of the buildings were named for peace-keepers, or some might consider them one in the same, depending on when you visit.

 

I'm yet uncertain as to the final disposition of this booklet.

On Monday, May 9th, a group of artists and educators celebrated “Arts in the Park” day in Malcolm X Memorial Park, located at 52nd and Pine Street in West Philadelphia. The celebration was the culminating project for Jim Schlatter’s Theatre Arts course, “Public Art, Performance, and Community Engagement,” cross-listed with Urban Studies. The course charted the development of public performance art in the 20th and 21st centuries around the world with an emphasis on the United States and urban public space. “Arts in the Park” was created through a partnership that included Penn’s Theatre Arts Program, the Netter Center, Friends of Malcolm X Memorial Park, and Sayre High School, whose students performed original rap and spoken word pieces. Artists from Urban Art Gallery of West Philadelphia, which was founded three years ago by Kalphonse Morris, showed their work, did face-painting and invited folks to play chess. Carlo Campbell, Artistic Director of Theatre in the X, which performs free theatre every summer in the park, performed Shakespeare monologues. Attendees were invited to create sidewalk chalk art, help paint a large canvas mural, and engage in other creative activities, including a Zumba dance for health. The class is an Academically Based Community Service (ABCS) course sponsored by the Netter Center. “Arts in the Park” is being planned as an annual event, and the partners will be inviting more arts, educational, and community groups to participate in the future.
