21st C Women via Toms

                       21st C Women via Toms
When "Toms" asked for photos and posts of their shoes & flags, 
I decide to post a painting that I am working on. 
It represents women, 
or more specifically mothers 
and the struggles that they face globally. 
I suggested that "Toms" consider using donated,limited edition artwork, printed on shoes as a special money-raiser.
So check out the "Toms" One for One Community Wall
and become part of the movement.

JR's TED Prize wish: Use art to turn the world inside out


How will you use art to "turn the world inside-out? What message is the artist trying to impart through his art and his travels across the world? Why should we wake up and take notice?

GAP

Google Art Project

This is incredible and was shared by one of my favorite blogs, "The Carrot Revolution". Anyone who loves art should check out this site. I am not sure that I agree with dsgran's blog that we will no longer need field trips, in fact I think this site is a great preamble to a field trip. But what a way to virtually visit most any museum in the world and get a better feel for the reality of Art as it exists in real time.

This site is rich with layers of discovery from museums, to artists, to history, to even setting up your own "private collection" which would be valuable for students or teachers. So enjoy!

Surrealistic Landscapes

                                                
  AP 2D Design - Surrealistic Landscapes - these are a series of landscape photos taken by my AP 2D design students and modified in a surreal direction for a class assignment. Some are humorous, some simply surreal, but all are creative. Good job!
