This is a currently in print book that I have shared a few excerpts. "Frank Lloyd Wright For Kids; His Life and Ideas" with 21 Activities for ages 8 and up. Copyright 1994 by author Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen. Published by Chicago Review Press.
I always like to know a bit about the contents before I order a book, and hopefully this will give you an idea. With many photos as well as delightful illustrations by Jennifer Koury.
week 1 of lisa congdon's line drawing class. we drew flowers from a reference photo. the point of this class was not to have the flower look exactly like the photo. but rather to get the idea of the flower. this is harder than it looks. well for me anyway. but having fun anyway.

2003:Memorable visit this one..not only Venice and its magic but a romantic proposal during a Vivaldi Concert in a beautiful old Church. Came back 2 years later for a small December Wedding: twilight, totally peace, light rain and shimmering lights on the waters all around us.
("75 Ways") #9: Make a bad drawing when you first wake up.
DD#2 (age 20.5) recently got contact lenses and bought an off-the-rack pair of fashionable sunglasses at an optique boutique. Tres chic!.
Evidently in my subconscious I envy* her for this, because I dreamed that I did the same.
Me, I have two pair of sunglasses (for future, posed portraits):
(1) "Sporty" ones for distance vision, with solid black plastic frames and narrow lenses (to keep the costs down). chosen in haste from not-much-of-a-selection at the optometrist's, and they're an aesthetic blight. I only wear them for aerobic walking (i.e. rarely) at the shoreline nature preserve, where others are too busy admiring the scenery to call in the Fashion Police.
(2) Vintage 70's with large smoky-gradient lenses and a silver-colored filigree (!) frame I'd love to find again. Too delicate for sport, I wear these around town but since they too only have a distance prescription, I can't see with them in shops or while riding the bus. When I get some money for frivolities, I'll have the lenses redone as multifocals and wear these all the time, EVERYWHERE!
* For the record: I wore contacts between the ages of 20-31 but they ceased meeting my vision demands and I gave them up for multifocals, plus recently a second pair of "studio" lenses: blended bifocals (arm's length and close focus) for keyboards (computer, piano) and KP.

Enrique Castrejon: Artist Statement 2013
Images of beauty, queer bodies, HIV, war, death, destruction and tragic current events are elements that inspire my work. I linearly dissect and cut appropriated images found in variety of eclectic media sources such as newspapers, magazines, advertisements and photographs, art books, Sotheby’s auction catalogs, porn, personal photos and online sources into smaller identifiable geometric shapes. I investigate and describe what I see through measurements. I transform this selected graphic imagery into quantified drawings mapped by measuring distances between points (x inches), at times calculating the varied angle degrees created within the shapes (360˚-A˚= B˚), and/or written data related to the image of each shape. The distances around the shapes are measured in inches and their corresponding degree angles are calculated with a protractor and calculator. These precise measurements abstract the image interfering and altering its fixed meaning, creating other possible interpretations through this linear dissection. The final results are written around the shapes creating an intricate explosive web of verifiable units. This repetitive and meditative process allows me to map out the drawing and reveal the invisible mathematical language found in everything. Also, in creating these fragmented and measured drawings from the cut up parts of the whole and reconfigured, I challenge our perceptions of what is real, forcing us to think critically about information that is constantly bombarding our everyday lives through images selected in directed advertisements, pop-culture sources, editorials and news stories found in printed and online media.
Enrique Castrejon lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Currently, a solo exhibition of his work, Axiom of Solitude: Investigations & Meditations, is on view at Bermudez Projects Downtown from September 28th to November 26th, 2013. Castrejon’s work is also traveling nationally in a group exhibition called Out of Rubble, organized and curated by Susanne Slavick, that looks at how artists have “reacted to the wake of war – its realities and representations.” Castrejon was also a featured artist and panelist on a KPCC 89.3 radio program, Air Talk with Larry Mantel on the topic of Chicano Art & Pacific Standard Time exhibit with participating artists and panelists Gronk, Patissi Valdez and Sonia Romero.
