Download or read book Paint the White House Black written by Michael P. Jeffries and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barack Obama's election as the first black president in American history forced a reconsideration of racial reality and possibility. It also incited an outpouring of discussion and analysis of Obama's personal and political exploits. Paint the White House Black fills a significant void in Obama-themed debate, shifting the emphasis from the details of Obama's political career to an understanding of how race works in America. In this groundbreaking book, race, rather than Obama, is the central focus. Michael P. Jeffries approaches Obama's election and administration as common cultural ground for thinking about race. He uncovers contemporary stereotypes and anxieties by examining historically rooted conceptions of race and nationhood, discourses of "biracialism" and Obama's mixed heritage, the purported emergence of a "post-racial society," and popular symbols of Michelle Obama as a modern black woman. In so doing, Jeffries casts new light on how we think about race and enables us to see how race, in turn, operates within our daily lives. Race is a difficult concept to grasp, with outbursts and silences that disguise its relationships with a host of other phenomena. Using Barack Obama as its point of departure, Paint the White House Black boldly aims to understand race by tracing the web of interactions that bind it to other social and historical forces.

Download or read book Ink Paint written by Mindy Johnson and published by Disney Editions. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest origins of animated imagery, the colorful link between paper and screen was created by legions of female artists working on the slick surface of celluloid sheets. With calligraphic precision and Rembrandtesque mastery, these women painstakingly brought pencil drawings to vibrant, dimensional life. Yet perhaps as a reflection of the transparent canvas they created on, the contributions and history of these animation artists have remained virtually invisible and largely undocumented, until now. Walt Disney's pioneering efforts in animation transformed novelty cartoons into visual masterpieces, establishing many "firsts" for women within the entertainment industry along the way. Focusing on talent, Disney sought female story specialists and concept artists to expand the scope and sensibility of his storytelling. Upon establishing the first animation-training program for women, ink pens were traded for pencils as ladies made their way into the male-laden halls of animation. World War II further opened roles traditionally held by men, and women quickly progressed into virtually every discipline within animation production. Disney's later development of the Xerox process and eventual digital evolution once again placed women at the forefront of technological advancements applied to animated storytelling. In her latest landmark book, Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney's Animation, author Mindy Johnson pulls back the celluloid curtain on the nearly vanished world of ink pens, paintbrushes, pigments, and tea. From the earliest black-and-white Alice Comedies to the advent of CAPS and digital animation, meet the pioneering women who brought handrendered animated stories to vibrant, multicolored life at Walt Disney Studios and beyond. Extensively researched with the full support of the entire Walt Disney Studios archival resources, plus a multitude of private collections, firsthand accounts, newly discovered materials, and production documentation, as well as never-before-seen photography and artwork, this essential volume redefines the collective history of animation.

Download or read book You Are What You Paint written by Bruno Marcotulli and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is all about creative freedom...FOR EVERYONE. Freedom from the fear-inducing voices inside our heads that convince us that we're not "real" artists, that we couldn't possibly paint pictures, because we've never studied art, because painting is for those other people, the ones who have the talent. How many millions of us deny ourselves the pleasure of creating pictures with paint, because we choose to believe these lies? THE TRUTH IS, we're all artists. If you create art, you're an artist. THE TRUTH IS, we all have something to say, and the ability to say it. When coming to this conclusion, back in 2007, I embarked on a painting adventure. Twenty four paintings later, I'm here to tell you that it's been an amazing ride. I've had so much fun that I felt compelled to share my journey with you. For the purposes of this book, it's important to understand that I've never taken an art class. As a result, I had no "technique" to temper my imagination, no rules to follow, no "right way" to paint. I believe this is key, because when you don't know "how" to paint, you paint purely by instinct, guided simply by what feels right to you. It's like being given a free pass to boundless artistic liberation. What I've also discovered is that in each of my paintings, my points of view, my sense of humor, my overall philosophy on life have all magically appeared, with no conscious intent on my part. It really is true, we are what we paint. So without further ado, I dedicate this book to you, and to your own fearlessly creative adventures that lie ahead.
