How to Dance Through Time: The Elegance of Baroque | A preview. StumbleUpon. Frank Stella - 1972. A Spinning Mosaic of Patterns Drawn with Wet Clay on a Potter's Wheel. As a person who’s spent more than a few hours at the seat of a potter’s wheel I can attest to the strangely soothing act of doodling around with wet clay sludge (called slip) before or after throwing a pot. As fun as it is, it’s still somewhat surprising to see the act elevated to this level of artistry by Michael Gardner Mikhail Sadovnikov who blurs the line between performance and visual art as he creates pattern after pattern on an empty wheel.

Robert B Sherman: a career in clips | Film | guardian.co.uk. Robert B Sherman was the son of Jewish immigrants to the US, and while still in his teens he was part of the first American military unit to enter the Dachau concentration camp shortly after its evacuation in 1945. After the war, he joined with his younger brother Richard to form a songwriting partnership. It took until 1958 before they had their first top 10 hit, Tall Paul, with Mouseketeer Annette Funicello. As a result, the duo subsequently came to the notice of Walt Disney, and they became staff songwriters for the Disney studio. They composed a song for Disney's It's a Small World attraction at the 1964 New York World's Fair and, as the song remained uncopyrighted at the request of Unicef, is most likely the most widely known of all their work.
The brothers were also put to work on Disney's musicals. In 1961 The Parent Trap featured Hayley Mills in a dual role as twins, and she wowed audiences by performing the Sherman song Let's Get Together as a duet.
