Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles collected in this volume from the two companion Arts Special Issues, "The Machine as Art (in the 20th Century)" and "The Machine as Artist (in the 21st Century)", represent a unique scholarly resource: analyses by artists, scientists, and engineers, as well as art historians, covering not only the current (and astounding) rapprochement between art and technology but also the vital post-World War II period that has led up to it; this collection is also distinguished by several of the contributors being prominent individuals within their own fields, or as artists who have actually participated in the still unfolding events with which it is concerned

Book Visual Diary Guide   Student Workbook

Download or read book Visual Diary Guide Student Workbook written by Hilary Senhali and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the Australian Government was investing into creativity and innovation as part of a growth strategy. Critical & creative thinking ranked 4th in the Australian Curriculum after Literacy, Numeracy and ICT, across all subjects. In the Arts, it made explicit references to how to achieve this with the use of visual journals. In a way, this represented a sea change in the way creativity was being taught. But by what means? Where would teachers get practical help to make this happen?The Visual Diary Guides provide just this kind of help. Produced by an artist-teacher, in two integrated parts they address both students and teachers while aligning with the Australian Curriculum.They begin by identifying 'inspiration' as the fuel for the creative activity. But it is hard to store inspiration for later use. And even harder to make it fun!The books argue that the 'storage' is that ordinary art journal, the Visual Diary, which in the present classroom setting is often wasted as a portfolio. Its explosive creative potential is there to be unlocked. The books set out to do that in the classroom. Contrary to common belief, a structured approach with limits and boundaries is required for creativity to truly flourish.The Visual Diary becomes a students' personal treasure-trove much like an ordinary diary. The main premise of these books is that everyone has an artist in them and a trustworthy guide is needed to locate it.The Visual Diary Guide - Student Work book is written for students in accessible language. Through more than 40 specially designed activities, students find and capture inspiration and ideas that personally resonate for them. It opens the door for students to explore the visual culture they are immersed in, making it accessible in the art room for refinement, analysis and development as a supplement to the art room program.

Book Hollywood Highbrow

  • Author : Shyon Baumann
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press

  • ISBN : 0691187282
  • Pages : 242 pages

Download or read book Hollywood Highbrow written by Shyon Baumann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book Die Malerin written by Marie-Louise von Motesiczky and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive catalog of an important German-Jewish expressionist painter. On the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the artist's birth, this catalogue presents for the first time an overview of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky's paintings in an elegant volume of full color reproductions accompanied by illuminating commentary. Born in Vienna, she studied with Max Beckmann, who became a significant influence on the young artist. Later, in exile in London, Motesiczky grew close to Oskar Kokoschka and became acquainted with some of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century, including Elias Canetti, with whom she shared a long and intimate relationship. The paintings and drawings in this book explore the artist's transition from the edgy realism of her early years to the softer and more poetic paintings of her later work. Her portraits, for which she is most famous, include compelling self-examinations as well as a moving series devoted to her mother. Essays on Motesiczky's youth in Vienna, her friendship with Beckmann, and her time in London provide crucial background to a unique and fascinating artist whose wider recognition is long overdue.

Book excerpt: Aaron's Code tells the story of the first profound connection between art and computer technology. Here is the work of Harold Cohen - the renowned abstract painter who, at the height of a celebrated career in the late 1960's, abandoned the international scene of museums and galleries and sequestered himself with the most powerful computers he could get his hands on. What emerged from his long years of solitary struggle is an elaborate computer program that makes drawings autonomously, without human intervention - an electronic apprentice and alter ego called Aaron.

Book excerpt: Essays on computer art and its relation to more traditional art, by a pioneering practitioner and a philosopher of artificial intelligence. In From Fingers to Digits , a practicing artist and a philosopher examine computer art and how it has been both accepted and rejected by the mainstream art world. In a series of essays, Margaret Boden, a philosopher and expert in artificial intelligence, and Ernest Edmonds, a pioneering and internationally recognized computer artist, grapple with key questions about the aesthetics of computer art. Other modern technologies--photography and film--have been accepted by critics as ways of doing art. Does the use of computers compromise computer art's aesthetic credentials in ways that the use of cameras does not Is writing a computer program equivalent to painting with a brush Essays by Boden identify types of computer art, describe the study of creativity in AI, and explore links between computer art and traditional views in philosophical aesthetics. Essays by Edmonds offer a practitioner's perspective, considering, among other things, how the experience of creating computer art compares to that of traditional art making. Finally, the book presents interviews in which contemporary computer artists offer a wide range of comments on the issues raised in Boden's and Edmonds's essays.
