Art 21: Online Arts Education Modules

Art in the 21st Century was a recent PBS series highlighting artists' process and purpose. Not only did it receive high acclaim while it was airing, but the series won numerous awards and praiseworthy reviews. Some of the best things to come out of the series are the substantial on-line arts education materials. According to the website, they were "... developed to familiarize teachers and students with the work of living artists, to provoke critical thinking and problem solving, to present creative role models, to bridge diverse subject areas, and to inspire new ways of teaching and learning through the study and appreciation of contemporary art."

The online library offers thematic and comparative cross-sections of intricate subject matters expressed through art - such as war and peace or home and displacement. One theme exploring likeness, self, and identity is explored and shared through students' works. In-depth art and culture teaching materials from each season are also available. The well-constructed site offers artist's slide shows, videos, and blog. If you're teaching this summer, or even gearing up for fall, be sure to visit Art:21.

AIA Design DC 2008 -

Alex attended the AIA's Design DC 2008 Expo this morning and carried out a ton of great green renewal materials. Some highlights include: Sustainability by Design, where we are all learning to share the environment through LEED, Energy Star, and other business development incentives; RICCA Newmark Design had a beautifully executed brochure; DrawGate, Inc. (out of Burke, VA) exhibited 3D architectural rendering and animation solutions; Traco (out of Cranberry Township, PA) demonstrated windows and doors that greet the world; and Sky Factory's windows showed their beautiful, relaxing, and memorable transformational illusions of nature.

Some of today's AIA Continuing Education sessions included Smart Design; Sustainable Practice for Preservation; Re-skinning a fully-occupied office building; and Working with the Media. Of interest also was Potomac Valley Brick's photo and literature CDs - aptly expressing how PVC, built on a foundation of service, supports your vision and design. We'll be reviewing The Architect's Newspaper in full detail to continue to look for opportunities in bringing some of the best of design concepts to all artists.
