Keeping calm by teaching art. Imaginative photographer lands world-tour job at Coke. Growing up, Canadian photographer Joel Robison, known on Flickr as Boy_Wonder, was always a bit of a daydreamer.
Blame it on the movies he watched or the stories he read as a kid, but it caused him to look at everyday objects differently. It’s a creative direction that blended both fantasy and reality. And years later, it would lead him to a dream job in photography and become a Flickr icon! Joel’s foray into photography began after college graduation. It was when he established a teaching career when he felt something was missing. “I didn’t really feel connected to that part of my mind that was creative,” Joel recalls. Joel went on eBay and bought a cheap, used DSLR camera for about $120.
“I started taking self-portraits and using that as a chance to to tell my story through my eyes, with me as the person that’s telling that story and that changed everything for me,” Joel admits. “When I first started learning Photoshop, it would take a few hours for me to finish an image,” Joel says. "The first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too"

Color in design is very subjective.
What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there’s a lot to it. This is the first in a three-part series on color theory.
Warm Colors Link Warm colors include red, orange, and yellow, and variations of those three colors. Red and yellow are both primary colors, with orange falling in the middle, which means warm colors are all truly warm and aren’t created by combining a warm color with a cool color. Red (Primary Color) Link Red is a very hot color. Red can be associated with anger, but is also associated with importance (think of the red carpet at awards shows and celebrity events). Outside the western world, red has different associations. Examples. Eastartroom. My name is Tim Bogatz, and this site is a space that I have created to reflect on my teaching, share my ideas, present the work of my students, and interact with other art teachers.
I am the head of a 2-person high school art department, and our school has about 1,600 students. I teach a little bit of everything, though my focus is on drawing and painting. My own artmaking has slowed lately with a 6-year old daughter and 4-year old s0n running around my house, but my lovely wife and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. When I do have time to create, however, I work on realistic colored pencil drawings and realistic graphite drawings. I occasionally dabble in ceramics, glass fusion, and painting as well. If you have any questions or comments for me, please let me know. In addition, this blog is sponsored by Art to Remember. Cheeming Boey Cup Project. This is absolutely one of my favorite lessons–it usually takes only a few days, but it’s a different way of working and my kids really get into it.
First, a video: I first found Cheeming Boey through a student who had shown me some of his work. I was really fascinated by many of the things he does, but being the art teacher I am, my first thought of course turned to “How do I make this into a lesson?” Honestly, it was not that difficult. I put together a few images from Boey’s website that showed a variety of techniques and styles that he had tried. We started with writing, then moved on to sketches. Sketches are very simple–I am looking for nothing more than the idea of what they want to do for the project. My presentation took most of the day Monday (I like to talk WAY too much about art and art history, so sometimes we go a little longer than we should), but my excitement and the novelty of the project really got students keyed in.
