Peinture chinoise Nous appelons peinture chinoise l’art pictural traditionnel exercé en Chine depuis plus de mille ans. Ses racines prennent source dans un mode de pensée original beaucoup plus ancien qui met l’accent sur l’unicité de l’homme et du cosmos et le dynamisme ininterrompu au sein même de cet univers. Plus que la représentation d’une forme, la peinture chinoise recherche à exprimer l’âme (principe de vie), le mouvement interne des êtres. D’une manière générale, la peinture chinoise est composée d’un ou plusieurs poèmes, de calligraphies, d’une image peinte et du sceau de l’artiste. La peinture chinoise Gongbi (lit. “ Le pinceau soigneux ” ou “ Le pinceau habile ”) se distingue par sa finesse et sa précision dans le détail. Le but de la peinture chinoise est de réaliser dans la plus grande concision une œuvre au charme artistique porteur d’un sens touchant l’infini. Les formats utilisés en peinture chinoise sont très variés. Les points essentiels de la composition des peintures chinoises sont :
The Best Map Ever Made of America's Racial Segregation | Wired Design Last year, a pair of researchers from Duke University published a report with a bold title: “The End of the Segregated Century.” U.S. cities, the authors concluded, were less segregated in 2012 than they had been at any point since 1910. But less segregated does not necessarily mean integrated–something this incredible map makes clear in vivd color. The map, created by Dustin Cable at University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, is stunningly comprehensive. Drawing on data from the 2010 U.S. Census, it shows one dot per person, color-coded by race. This is the most comprehensive map of race in America ever created. White people are shown with blue dots; African-Americans with green; Asians with red; and Latinos with orange, with all other race categories from the Census represented by brown. Looking at the map, every city tells a different story. Click to Open Overlay Gallery In the Midwest, though, the racial divide can be shockingly exact. Go Back to Top.

AMS 101: American Culture and Conversation | March-June 2013 FOLLOW ME : IL PHOTOGRAPHIE SA COPINE AUX QUATRE COINS DU MONDE Pour sortir de l’ordinaire, un photographe russe a eu l’idée de lancer le projet « Follow Me ». Pour être original et voyager avec plus de romantisme, le photographe russe Murad Osmann a eu l’idée de créer un projet photographique personnel appelé Follow Me. Ce dernier regroupe diverses photos du monde entier mais d’une manière unique. En effet, une série de photographies basée sur le même système, à savoir des vues du photographe à la première personne entraîné par la main de sa petite amie vers de nouveaux paysages. On peut facilement reconnaitre Venise, Disneyland Paris, Londres à l’occasion des Jeux Olympiques 2012 ou encore New York.

Why kids hate school — subject by subject - The Answer Sheet A little while ago I published a post by cognitive scientist Roger C. Schank who wrote that contrary to popular opinion, algebra is not necessary and STEM education is overrated. In this follow-up piece, Schank goes subject by subject explaining why he thinks they are useless and why so many kids hate learning them. Schank, also an artificial intelligence theorist and education reformer, has taught at Stanford and Yale universities and is the John Evans Professor Emeritus of Computer Science, Psychology, and Education at Northwestern University. By Roger C. A message to high school students who hate high school: Here is why you hate it Recently an article I wrote about why algebra is useless and shouldn’t be taught in high school was published on The Washington Post’s Answer Sheet blog. The hate mail that followed (written mostly by math teachers) was unbelievable. Of course, it is not only high school math that I oppose. Chemistry: A complete waste of time. Biology. Economics. Physics.
TEA PARTY This is an interactive pre-reading strategy that frontloads students’ knowledge of text information and also allows them to become familiar with phrasing and content words. It was adapted from Kylene Beer’s book “When Kids Can’t Read.” The strategy can be used with both narrative and expository texts. 1. 2. 3. ü after the cards are distributed, you will share your card by reading it orally with one student at a time ü when you have finished reading your card, listen carefully as your partner shares his/hers the same way ü quickly discuss how these cards are related ü move to a new partner and go through the same steps—share your card by reading it aloud and then listen carefully to the contents of your new partner’s card ü with each new partner talk about any how all the cards are related and what they collectively all might be about ü add any new ideas you have based on your prior experiences 4. sure they have mingled and discussed with enough students. 5. themselves. 6. seats and moving. 7.
PRESENTATION TIPS Subsequent sections of this notebook provide options for delivering presentations that will help faculty fully include students with disabilities in their courses.

Once you select a presentation topic, consider incorporating some of the following suggestions to make your presentation more effective. Prepare "The mind is a wonderful thing. The quality of your presentation is most directly related to the quality of your preparation. If you are responsible for the promotion of your presentation, create an accurate, but inviting, description.

It is important to create a learning environment that is comfortable and welcoming. Manage Your Anxiety "There are two types of speakers. Nervousness before a talk or workshop is healthy. "I hear and I forget.

If Amazon's Singles Corner becomes a forum for longer-form interviews, it could be helpful. “The impact could be positive ... if the programming adds more detailed information to the current political discourse, versus the current, 30-second sound bites that we are accustomed to receiving,” says Mary Ellen Balchunis, a political scientist at La Salle University in Philadelphia, via e-mail. But if the forum lobs softball questions, it could be little more than megaphone for candidates.
