Visual Arts in the PYP: learner profile The Learner Profile permeates everything we do at a PYP school. Above are some posters hanging around the art room and below is a big hallway display I did for the beginning of the school year. Each flower pot has a Learner Profile attribute written on the front. blind artist envisions world - hypnotizing gifs click 2x sep 09, 2015 blind artist envisions the world through hypnotizing animated gifs blind artist envisions the world through hypnotizing animated gifsall gifs courtesy of george redhawk artist george redhawk has turned a loss into a gift — after the artist became legally blind, he began to explore the realm of photo manipulation with a desire to show the world as he sees it from his damaged sight. through the use of computer softwares that aide the visually impaired, redhawk — who works under the name darkangeløne — has realized the ongoing series of animations titled, ‘the world through my eyes’. original digital art ‘the remains of a memory’ by adam martinakis / animation by george redhawk ‘to create most of my gifs, I am using a photo morphing software which I have been experimenting with, and perfecting over several years‘, redhawk tells graphic art news. animation by george redhawk sculpture ‘cairn’ by celeste roberge / animation by george redhawk nina azzarello I designboom

Ralph Abraham Ralph H. Abraham (b. July 4, 1936, Burlington, Vermont) is an American mathematician. He has been a member of the mathematics department at the University of California, Santa Cruz since 1968. Life and work[edit] Ralph Abraham earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1960, and held positions at UC Santa Cruz, Berkeley, Columbia, and Princeton. He founded the Visual Math Institute[1] at UC Santa Cruz in 1975, at that time it was called the "Visual Mathematics Project". Abraham has been involved in the development of dynamical systems theory in the 1960s and 1970s. Another interest of Abraham's concerns alternative ways of expressing mathematics, for example visually or aurally. Abraham developed an interest in "Hip" activities in Santa Cruz in the 1960s and set up a website gathering information on the topic.[3] He credits his use of the psychedelic drug DMT for "swerv[ing his] career toward a search for the connections between mathematics and the experience of the Logos".[4]
Henri Matisse: drawing with scissors | Art and design At the start of the second world war, Henri Matisse found himself, for the first time in his life, confronted by an empty studio. He had lived and slept with his work ever since his beginnings as a poor art student, flitting from one rented attic to the next, carrying nothing but his canvases with him. But in his 70th year a bitter separation dispute with his wife meant that by late summer 1939 everything on his studio walls had been taken down, crated and stored in bank cellars for lawyers to fight over. France declared war in September and was swiftly invaded, defeated and occupied by German forces. Matisse fell gravely ill and spent much of the next two years struggling to survive recurrent crises that threatened his life. It was at this point that he cut a man out of white paper, a drooping pinheaded figure, all sagging limbs and blazing red heart, mounted on a black ground with bombs detonating around him. Matisse grew old but his work did not.

Zentangle® Hi All, I know this isn't watercolor, although I do combine it with watercolors sometimes, but I'm answering the question that was raised in this morning's "WASH" as to what zentangle® is. I've become a Certified Zentangle Teacher, or CZT, since I used to hang around here in WC and I just wanted to post this somewhere where those who asked the question as to what zentangle® is would see the answer. (My making anywhere near beginning of the "Daily Wash" thread is a rarity.) Yes, as someone said, and to put it simply, zentangle® is a meditative form of art using repetitive patterns. Tangles are basically done on 3.5" X 3.5" tiles with a micron pen, no artistic talent needed. And here is a zentangle® inspired piece of artwork, or as it's called in the tangling world, a ZIA, that I began by dropping watercolors onto Strathmore bristol paper. And a few done with a watercolor base on a zentangle® tile. I'm really just answering the question asked.
Four color theorem Example of a four-colored map A four-coloring of a map of the states of the United States (ignoring lakes). In mathematics, the four color theorem, or the four color map theorem, states that, given any separation of a plane into contiguous regions, producing a figure called a map, no more than four colors are required to color the regions of the map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color. Despite the motivation from coloring political maps of countries, the theorem is not of particular interest to mapmakers. Three colors are adequate for simpler maps, but an additional fourth color is required for some maps, such as a map in which one region is surrounded by an odd number of other regions that touch each other in a cycle. The four color theorem was proven in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken. Precise formulation of the theorem[edit] The intuitive statement of the four color theorem, i.e. Example of a map of Azerbaijan with non-contiguous regions History[edit]
Zentangle: Meditation Through Pattern-Drawing by Maria Popova If greater creativity and more mental balance are among your new year’s resolutions, look no further than Zentangle — a type of meditation achieved through pattern-making, created by artist duo Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. Each pattern is built one line at a time, organically combining simple patterns into complex zentangles in unplanned, unexpected ways that grow, change and unfold on the page as you enter an immersive state of flow. We’re particularly taken with Zentagle because its basic principle — building on simple shapes and combining different patterns into complex creativity — is such a beautiful visual metaphor for our core philosophy of combinatorial creativity. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a professional artist, Totally Tangled can transform your casual, fidgety backpage doodling into a powerful meditative creative outlet.

Art for ants Anamorphic 3D Illusion Drawings The Italian artist Alessandro Diddi questions the point of view and the relevance of the look at things we can have through its anamorphose. From the point of view that one takes, sketches made in pencil appear to be three dimensional. Some incredible trompe l’oeil to discover in images. A mathematical bug shows us why the 3D universe leads to Murphy's Law Let's also not forget that unlike, a path, the movement of any string no matter how thin is at least partially governed by the slight recoiling that occurs at the bends and curves. I think analogies are wonderful for explaining complex systems to simple folk like myself, but I hate it when "scientists" try to prove a mathematical system with an insufficient metaphor. Exactly what I was thinking. The way a string falls is not random. Even if you stood there shaking the box it still has all manner of constraints based on where parts of the string both forward and backward from each position are. Like if you have a spiral, and you imagine this bugs walk is from the top spiralling down, this bug cannot actually walk directly downwards because another part of the spiral is already there, no matter how much you try to randomise it with shaking.
