The Children’s Spring Workshop will be for children 7-11 years of age. The course is designed to teach observational drawing though shape relationships. The students will learn formal elements of drawing such as mark making, line, shape, placement, angels, textures, value, color, and perspective. Session A runs from January 26 to March 2, 2013</p> <p>Each class is geared for the child to complete a drawing within the allotted 40-50 minutes or less time frame. The Born to Draw Step-by-Step Drawing program features animals and still life. Children should know basic shapes of the square, triangle, circle and oval. I encourage parents to have their children attend both sessions. Session B runs from March 23 to April 27</p> <p>The classes will be offered for two 50-minute sessions with a five-minute break and time for set up and clean up included in the class. Total length of class time is 2 hours.</p> <p>Drawing and Art Techniques</p> <p>Depending on the age and the child’s development and skill levels, it is possible to evolve into another session for a continuum of developing drawing skills. Throughout the class the children will experiment with different media that include watercolor, color pencil, pen and ink.</p> <p><a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cezanne88.jpg" rel="lightbox[auto_group1]"></a></p> <p>Painting by Cezanne Still Life – 1890-94 oil on canvas</p> <p>Session 2</p> <p>Drawing Still Life</p> <p>Drawing from 3D objects increases your children’s knowledge of the effects of light on form, volume and line. Observational drawing teaches one to learn to see. Students will work with still-life setups, start with simple materials and compositions, then move to more complicated media exploring textures and concepts. This is a great class to begin studies in art or to improve drawing skills.</p> <p><a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Morandi-images.jpg" rel="lightbox[auto_group1]"></a></p> <p>Painting of Giorgio Morandi Modern still life</p> <p>In this session the students will be introduced to great master artists like Cezanne, Matisse, Morandi, O’Keeffe and Steir.</p> <p>The second session builds on the first session, however, all beginning drawers are welcome. Beginners who have not had the Born to Draw classes’ prior will start with the curriculum of the first session.</p> <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186#">17544 Born to Draw: A Children’s Drawing Program (ages 7-11), Section A</a> Tuition: $160.00 Saturday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm; 6 sessions starting January 26, 2013, ending March 2, 2013 Location: <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186">CE South Building</a> Instructor: <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186">Cimino</a> Materials Cost: $0.00 <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=1001&CourseID=5498&ClassID=51208">Available Discounts</a> Available 11/26/2012 <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186#">17544 Born to Draw: A Children’s Drawing Program (ages 7-11), Section B</a> Tuition: $160.00 Saturday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm; 6 sessions starting March 23, 2013, ending April 27, 2013 Location: <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186">CE South Building</a> Instructor: <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=19&int_sub_category_id=186">Cimino</a> Materials Cost: $0.00 <a href="http://newmexico.augusoft.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=1001&CourseID=5498&ClassID=51209">Available Discounts</a> Available 3/23/2013 <p>Tags: <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/art-education/" rel="tag">Art Education</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/arts-programs/" rel="tag">arts programs</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/born-to-draw-2/" rel="tag">Born to Draw</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/childrens-art/" rel="tag">Children’s art</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/childrens-arts/" rel="tag">children’s arts</a>,<a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/community-arts/" rel="tag">Community Arts</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/drawing/" rel="tag">drawing</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/elaine-cimino/" rel="tag">Elaine Cimino</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/learn-to-draw-2/" rel="tag">learn to draw</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/learn-to-paint/" rel="tag">Learn to paint</a>, <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/learning/" rel="tag">Learning</a>,<a href="http://www.borntodraw.com/tag/visual-arts/" rel="tag">Visual Arts</a></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/reminder-childrens-born-to-draw-saturday-morning-art-classes/">Reminder Children’s Born To Draw Saturday Morning Art Classes</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Happy Holidays</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/happy-holidays/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[elaine]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:42:09 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Albuquerque art Classes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children's Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fine Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[giclee prints]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=2596</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy Holidays From Elaine Cimino Studios!</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/happy-holidays/">Happy Holidays</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Holidays From Elaine Cimino Studios!</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/happy-holidays/">Happy Holidays</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Barbara Kruger Created the Billboards and Buses For the Best Ad Campaign in the City Right Now</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/barbara-kruger-created-the-billboards-and-buses-for-the-best-ad-campaign-in-the-city-right-now/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[elaine]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:38:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art education reform]]></category> <category><![CDATA[creative spirit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Public art projects]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=2570</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Great idea to promote arts and artists.

By <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/author.php?author_id=3337">Alissa Walker</a> Mon., Nov. 12 2012 at 1:15 Pm Categories: <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/art/">Art</a>, <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/billboards/">Billboards</a>, <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/cityscape/">Cityscape</a>, <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/public-art/">Public Art</a> Twitter user <a href="http://twitter.com/bshigeta">@bshigeta</a> via <a href="http://web.stagram.com/n/bshigeta/">Instagram</a> <p>A Silver Lake billboard that recently hawked Avion tequila took on a very different tone last month. “SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION OR FACE CATASTROPHE!” read the near-apocalyptic message in stark black type. On Santa Monica Boulevard, the wisdom of Robert Frost crept by in the same foot-tall, all-caps characters, wrapped around a Metro bus: “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.”</p> <p>This campaign, which launched in October and has quickly become both the best-looking and most ubiquitous advertising on L.A.’s streets, is produced by art organization ForYourArt to benefit the <a href="http://lafund.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Fund for Public Education</a> (or LA Fund for short), a nonprofit co-founded by LAUSD superintendent John Deasy last year. And the artist is none other than the legendary Barbara Kruger, whose signature black, white and red graphics — like a public service announcement meets reassuring Mad Men-era advertising — reads spectacularly well in L.A.’s urban environment.</p> <p>The LA Fund is hoping to raise $1.5 million by the spring to fund a new initiative called<a href="http://lafund.org/#arts-matter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Arts Matter</a> and Kruger’s work — actually an original, site-specific piece named Untitled, (Human History) — is meant to work on two levels, says LA Fund executive director Dan Chang. The campaign is meant to both communicate the critical importance of arts education funding to Angelenos and deliver that art to the city in a kind of mobile gallery. “It’s about the awareness of getting public art into the streets of L.A. and making it accessible to people who wouldn’t otherwise see it.”</p> <p>Over $4 million in ad space was donated by Clear Channel and CBS to support the campaign, making it pleasantly unavoidable.</p> Twitter user <a href="http://twitter.com/jeff6arcia">@jeff6arcia</a> Billboards are found throughout the city thanks to $4 million in donated ad space <p>Like Proposition 30, the Jerry Brown-supported education tax that <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2012/11/proposition_30_election_results_jerry_brown_wins.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">passed on Election Day</a>with a slim margin, the LA Fund hopes to provide relief for LAUSD’s decimated budget. But Chang cautions that the LA Fund is not simply trying to fundraise for lost operating dollars. Instead, it’s introducing its own ideas for fixing public education, he says. “We’re getting support for innovative projects that need startup capital.”</p> <p>After successful programs including an anti-bullying campaign and a new way to provide breakfast to students, Arts Matter will address arts education by developing immersive programming with local art institutions like MOCA and the Music Center that brings art into the core curriculum. So fractions might be taught in a math class through the value of musical notes, for example. The key, says Chang, is a totally interdisciplinary approach that is more about learning the creative process. “You have to have arts innovation in there, teaching kids to be creative.”</p> Twitter user <a href="http://twitter.com/Waltarrrrr">@Waltarrrr</a> The LA Fund’s campaign wraps dozens of Metro buses in Barbara Kruger graphics <p>Kruger is the first of four L.A.-based contemporary artists who are creating original works for the campaign — the other three are still under wraps, but Chang hints the next one is male and will debut in January. “She was perfect because her art is so clever,” Chang says of Kruger. “She tells you something profound and witty and it makes you think.” Kruger declined to comment; through the campaign’s spokesperson she preferred to “let her art do the talking.” In fact, the art does that quite well — Kruger’s ad-inspired work couldn’t have found a better home on buses and billboards; her dramatic graphics read both urgent and elegant in her signature Futura Bold. It’s impossible to look away.</p> <p>Perhaps the greatest testament to the campaign is its <a href="http://instagram.com/p/Ro-_jNiv1t/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">overwhelmingly positive response</a> on social media. Those who know what the campaign is all about are enjoying the game of spotting them around town — even a jaded art writer is not immune. I found myself pointing and screaming “Art bus! Art bus!” while I was eating breakfast on Sunset Boulevard, and I think I jumped up and down when a Krugered 4 bus arrived at my stop (and promptly Tweeted, Facebooked and Instagrammed it).</p> Twitter user <a href="http://twitter.com/bettina_korek">@bettina_korek</a> Angelenos are giddily posting the bus sightings on social media <p>But even people who have no idea what the bus or billboards are supporting are posting photos on Instagram or Twitter because they’re drawn in by the message and execution. It’s a far more effective strategy compared to something like the proposition advertising that blanketed the city, for example. Instead of a simplified message, like “SUPPORT THE LA FUND” or “SUPPORT ARTS EDUCATION” the campaign provides content that enhances the public realm, and asks the general public to actually think about the message — what a concept! Then, going deeper, the contribution of Kruger and the three other mystery artists provide an art world pedigree that resonates with well-to-do donors. It’s win-win.</p> <p>The campaign has already raised over $460,000, almost a third of the way to its goal. And at least for this phase of the campaign, the timing was impeccable for another victory: One might wonder if the LA Fund’s campaign helped bring education funding to the forefront of voters’ minds over the past month in a fresh way. It may have helped Prop 30 pass.</p> <p>Alissa Walker blogs at <a href="http://www.gelatobaby.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gelatobaby.com</a>.

It is my hope that my students view his works to see the great body of work that he has cultivated over his life. i am a fan of his work and only hope I have the opportunity to view his work once again.</p> <p>His current exhibtion, “Seven Works” at the <a href="http://www.portlandartmuseum.org/gerhardrichter">Portland Museum</a> is closing Spetember 9th 2012.</p> <p>An important group of paintings from the Gray Series by this post-World War II German artist, Richter positions painting as a formally reductive and sensuously rich experience through these groundbreaking works from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. — Curated by Bruce Guenther, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.</p> <p>“I blur things to make everything equally important and equally unimportant. I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information.” Gerhard Richter</p> <p><a title="Gerhard Richter Official Site" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/</a></p> <p><a title="250 watercolors by Gerhard Richter" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/watercolours/detail.php?13859" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/watercolours/detail.php?13859</a></p> <p>Richter in the 21st Century: Real and Tangible Accomplishments</p> <p>“Well, after this century of grand proclamations and terrible illusions, I hope for an era in which real and tangible accomplishments, and not grand proclamations, are the only things that count.”1 At the turn of the millennium, Richter was increasingly focussed on his Abstract Paintings, with three paintings of his young son Moritz (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?title=moritz&number=863" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 863/1-3</a>) notable exceptions to this trend. Transparency, translucency, opacity and reflection were still clearly subjects with which the artist was engaging at this time, almost a decade since his last concerted period to have addressed them. Eight Grey in 2001 (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10510" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 874/1-8</a>) heralded a number of works the following year that brought glass to centre stage. Works such as Pane of Glass (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10512" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 876-1</a>), 4 Standing Panes (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10513" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 877-1</a>) and 7 Standing Panes (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10636" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 879-1</a>) demonstrated an interest in pushing wall-based works into the realm of the sculptural.</p> <p>2002 was also a significant year for Richter due to his major retrospective exhibition Forty Years of Painting at MoMA in New York. Curated by Robert Storr, the exhibition featured 190 works, and accompanied by a seminal catalogue, was one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of Richter’s works of his career. It was also the exhibition that confirmed Richter’s status as one of the leading artists in the world, and was described by Storr in his introduction as “long overdue” in the United States.2</p> <p>In 2003 Richter embarked on a small but substantially sized series of paintings entitledSilicate (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=885" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 885/1-4</a>) inspired by an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung from 12 March 2003 about the shimmering qualities of certain insects’ bodies.3 The resulting four large paintings are perhaps the most overtly biological of the abstract works in Richter’s oeuvre, suggestive of cell formations and genetic sequences seen under the microscope.</p> <p>Richter’s next significant – and in some ways unexpected – departure came in the form of a single work depicting the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York of September 11, 2001, entitled simply September (2005; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?13954" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 891-5</a>). In a 2010 publication about the painting written by Robert Storr, the author asks: “what is the meaning of a single, small, almost abstract depiction of one of the most consequential occurrences in recent world history?”4 Depicting the explosion of United Airlines Flight 175 as it hit the South Tower, Storr’s essay describes how Richter’s painting raises and encapsulates many of the complex geo-political issues that the attacks provoked, as well as the horrendous realities of those whose lives were taken away or affected by them. The painting, whilst it carries an overwhelming sense of the enormity and significance of the event, avoids spectacularizing it, instead evoking an existential numbness, sadness and incomprehension. Described by critic Bryan Appleyard for The Sunday Times as “the closest you will get to a great 9/11 work” he goes on to assert that “It reclaims the day, leaving it exactly where it was, exactly when it happened.”5</p> <p>The following year, 2006, saw the creation of one of Richter’s most significant cycles of Abstract Paintings, Cage (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=897" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 897/1-6</a>). These six, large-scale canvases, described by Sir Nicholas Serota as “magisterial”6 were named after the American avant-garde composer John Cage, whom Richter had never personally met but whose work had long held a resonance with his own. In a conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist – one of the leading interlocutors of Richter’s work since the 1990s – Richter said that he had been listening to the music of Cage whilst working in his studio at the time.7 In an interview with Jan Thorn-Prikker in 2004, Richter stated, “That’s roughly how Cage put it: ‘I have nothing to say and I am saying it.’ I have always thought that was a wonderful quote. It’s the best chance we have to be able to keep on going.”8 The concluding line in Robert Storr’s 2009 publication devoted to the series,Cage – Six Paintings by Gerhard Richter, references the Cage quote, stating: “In his own idiom, and for his own reasons, [the Cage paintings] are Richter’s beautiful way of saying nothing, and as such, of once more declaring his uncompromising independence.”9 Having been shown alongside the Bach paintings at the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, in 2008, the Cagepaintings have since been exhibited at Tate Modern, London.</p> <p>In 2007 Richter completed arguably his largest commission – a major stained glass window for Cologne Cathedral to replace a window that had been destroyed during World War II. He had been invited to undertake the commission back in 2002 and had devoted considerable time to developing and completing the project in the following five years. In notes prepared for a conference in July 2006, Richter wrote:</p> In early 2002, the master builder of the cathedral suggested that I develop a glass design for the southern window. The guiding principle was the representation of six martyrs, in keeping with the period. I was, of course, very touched to have such an honour bestowed upon me, but I soon realised I wasn’t at all qualified for the task. After several unsuccessful attempts to get to grips with the subject, and prepared to finally concede failure, I happened upon a large representation of my painting with 4096 colours. I put the template for the design of the window over it and saw that this was the only possibility.10 <p> </p> <p>Several months later, Richter began work on a model with test patterns and a number of design concepts. He settled on a design in which 11,000 mouth-blown squares measuring 94 x 94 millimetres each were to be used, with half of these selected randomly by a computer programme, and the other half a mirror image of these. As well as an evolution of his Colour Charts and Colour works of the 1960s and 70s, the Cologne Cathedral window (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?14890" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 900</a>) was also informed by his Glass Window, 625 Colours of 1989 (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?6667" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 703</a>). The resulting window is a remarkable accomplishment, both real and tangible, and has been documented extensively in a film by Corinna Belz released in 2007.11 </p> <p>In 2008, Richter embarked on a significant body of colourful abstract work entitled Sinbad(<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/paintings/sinbad/intro.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 905</a>). Comprising 100 small paintings in enamel on the back of glass, Sinbad is the first series of works by Richter to allude to The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights) and was followed in 2010 by Aladdin (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?14901" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 913</a>). That the artist was clearly thinking a lot about the Middle East is illustrated by the related series Baghdad (2010; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=914" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 914</a>) andAbdallah (2010; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=917" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 917</a>). Taking up some of the brighter palettes he had explored in the abstract works of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Sinbad is a rich, joyous journey through colour and abstraction.</p> <p>One of Richter’s most recent new avenues for the exploration of abstraction and colour takes the form of stripes. A work entitled Strip (2011; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=920" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 920</a>), consisting of a digital print on paper mounted between aluminium and Perspex, presents dozens of long horizontal stripes of varying thickness spanning a width of three metres. It is a tantalising taste of what is still to come from one of the world’s most prolific and respected living artists, whose insatiable desire to explore the languages and possibilities of painting and image-making continues to keep him at the forefront of developments in contemporary art today. To coincide with Richter’s 80th birthday, in October 2011 a major retrospective entitled Gerhard Richter: Panoramaopened at Tate Modern, London, before touring to the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2012.</p> <p>Prepared for www.gerhard-richter.com by Matt Price with assistance from Carina Krause, 2010-11.

Adobe released a study this past spring on how creativity is suffering. The results showed that Americans think their lack of time, money and tools are barriers to creativity. Rightly so, the American system is slowly grinding the gears of conceptual and critical thought to a halt by adopting an ideology that only looks at the productivity of test scores in the educational system. This has resulted in massive cuts to teachers jobs, and is disproportionately cutting History, Physical Education and both the Visual and Performing Arts. The arts represents at least 37% of the entire population who are visual thinkers and problem solvers. This is why I am working on the Born to Draw Art Program because it is a way to bring drawing and the arts to children and adults, to get people to use their hands and minds once again. <p>See the <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com">www.borntodraw.com</a> website Let me know how we might be able to create a space where we can roll out the Born to Draw® art curriculum.</p> Universal Concern that Creativity is Suffering at Work and School <p><a href="http://www.elaineciminostudios.com/uncategorized/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/attachment/lack-of-tools-barrier-to-creativity/" rel="attachment wp-att-2531"></a>SAN JOSE, Calif. — April 23, 2012 — New research reveals a global creativity gap in five of the world’s largest economies, according to the Adobe® (Nasdaq:ADBE) <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Global_Benchmark_Study.pdf">State of Create global benchmark study</a>. The research shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of respondents feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe they are living up to their own creative potential.</p> <p>Interviews of 5,000 adults across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan expose surprising attitudes and beliefs about creativity, providing new insights into the role of creativity in business, education and society overall.</p> <p>Workplace Creativity Gap The study reveals a workplace creativity gap, where 75% of respondents said they are under growing pressure to be productive rather than creative, despite the fact that they are increasingly expected to think creatively on the job. Across all of the countries surveyed, people said they spend only 25% of their time at work creating. Lack of time is seen as the biggest barrier to creativity (47% globally, 52% in United States).</p> <p>Education Concerns More than half of those surveyed feel that creativity is being stifled by their education systems, and many believe creativity is taken for granted (52% globally, 70% in the United States).</p> <p>“One of the myths of creativity is that very few people are really creative,” said Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D., an internationally recognized leader in the development of education, creativity and innovation. “The truth is that everyone has great capacities but not everyone develops them. One of the problems is that too often our educational systems don’t enable students to develop their natural creative powers. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. The result is that we’re draining people of their creative possibilities and, as this study reveals, producing a workforce that’s conditioned to prioritize conformity over creativity.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.elaineciminostudios.com/uncategorized/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/attachment/adobe-study-creativity-4-12pg-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-2532"></a>Creativity Rating: Japan Ranked Most Creative The study sheds light on different cultural attitudes toward creativity. Japan ranked highest in the global tally as the most creative country while, conversely, Japanese citizens largely do not see themselves as creative. Globally, Tokyo ranked as the most creative city – except among Japanese – with New York ranking second. Outside of Japan, national pride in each country is evident, with residents of the United Kingdom, Germany and France ranking their own countries and cities next in line after Japan.</p> <p>The United States ranked globally as the second most creative nation among the countries surveyed, except in the eyes of Americans, who see themselves as the most creative. Yet Americans also expressed the greatest sense of urgency and concern that they are not living up to their creative potential (United States at 82%, vs. the lowest level of concern in Germany at 64%).</p> <p>Generational and gender differences are marginal, reinforcing the idea that everyone has the potential to create. Women ranked only slightly higher than men when asked if they self-identified as creative and whether they were tapping their own creative potential.</p> <p>Four in 10 people believe that they do not have the tools or access to tools to create. Creative tools are perceived as the biggest driver to increase creativity (65% globally, 76% in the United States), and technology is recognized for its ability to help individuals overcome creative limitations (58% globally, 60% in the United States) and provide inspiration (53% globally, 62% in the United States).</p> <p>About the Adobe State of Create Study The study was produced by research firm StrategyOne and conducted as an online survey among a total of 5,000 adults, 18 years or older, 1,000 each in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan. Interviewing took place from March 30 to April 9. The data set for each country is nationally representative of the population of that country.</p> <p>For more information on the research results visit <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Global_Benchmark_Study.pdf">Adobe State of Create Global Benchmark Study</a> and <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Infographic.pdf">Adobe State of Create Infographic</a>.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/">Universal Concern that Creativity is Suffering at Work and School</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>THE WORLD´S FIRST INTERNATIONAL TEACHING ARTIST CONFERENCE</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/the-worlds-first-international-teaching-artist-conference/</link> <comments>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/the-worlds-first-international-teaching-artist-conference/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 21 Jun 2012 23:11:22 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Announcements]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[artwork]]></category> <category><![CDATA[auction]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children's Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[creativity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Teaching Artists]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=736</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>http://www.seanse.no/default.aspx?menu=180&id=153 THE WORLD´S FIRST INTERNATIONAL TEACHING ARTIST CONFERENCE SEANSE ART CENTER is proud to present the first international conference to focus on TEACHING ARTISTRY.

Examine the role of engagement, connections, collaborations and communities in learning.</p> Program Overview <p>Students bring a wealth of excitement, talent and dreams to the classroom. In order to channel these experiences into meaningful learning for the 21st century, teachers need to be able to capture these passions through proven teaching and learning techniques. The Arts and Passion-Driven Learning explores how educators can use the arts to engage students across all subjects—not only in the arts. The program explores several key questions; How can the arts foster connections between ideas, people and places to deepen learning? How can we turn learning from a requirement into a desire? How can artists collaborate with educators to design powerful learning experiences that focus simultaneously on the individual and the community?</p> <p>This unique new program will open with a plenary session with world-renowned cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, and a concert by the Silk Road Ensemble. Along with Harvard faculty, ensemble members will present arts-integrated lessons throughout the institute. You will deepen your understanding of how learning takes place in and through the arts and consider issues of access and quality in the arts. You will join artists and educators from a variety of backgrounds in workshops, panel discussions and small group sessions to experience and analyze what passion-driven learning looks like in practice.</p> Program Objectives Examine how students can become more engaged, empathetic and responsible participants in their communities Understand how the arts can lead to deeper learning in other subject matter Identify features of strong and productive collaborations among educators, artists and community members for creating rich interdisciplinary learning opportunities Who Should Attend Classroom teachers, particularly those at the middle school level, arts specialists and school administrators Artists, teaching artists and arts administrators <p>Fluency in English is mandatory.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/the-arts-and-passion-driven-learning-is-on-my-wish-list/">The Arts and Passion-Driven Learning is on my Wish List</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/the-arts-and-passion-driven-learning-is-on-my-wish-list/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2245</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Ovation And Americans For The Arts Kick Off $110,000 Innovation Grant Program</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/ovation-and-americans-for-the-arts-kick-off-110000-innovation-grant-program/</link> <comments>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/ovation-and-americans-for-the-arts-kick-off-110000-innovation-grant-program/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:14:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Announcements]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Workshops and Classes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[artwork]]></category> <category><![CDATA[creative spirit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[creativity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grants for art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Grants for the Arts]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=726</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>press release June 19, 2012, 9:00 a.m. EDT Ovation And Americans For The Arts Kick Off $110,000 Innovation Grant Program Online Application Process Now Open http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/membership/innovation.asp SANTA MONICA, Calif. and WASHINGTON, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Continuing its quest to recognize the role artists play in revitalizing their communities, Ovation, the only network […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/ovation-and-americans-for-the-arts-kick-off-110000-innovation-grant-program/">Ovation And Americans For The Arts Kick Off $110,000 Innovation Grant Program</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p id="columnname">press release</p> <p id="lastupdate">June 19, 2012, 9:00 a.m. EDT</p> Ovation And Americans For The Arts Kick Off $110,000 Innovation Grant Program Online Application Process Now Open <a title="http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/membership/innovation.asp" href="http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/membership/innovation.asp">http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/membership/innovation.asp</a> <p id="">SANTA MONICA, Calif. and WASHINGTON, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Continuing its quest to recognize the role artists play in revitalizing their communities, Ovation, the only network dedicated to art, artists and all forms of artistic storytelling, has partnered with Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading organization for advancing the arts and arts education, and has opened the online application process for its new national grant program, innOVATION. The online submission site, available at http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/membership/innovation.asp , will be accepting applications for the inaugural innOVATION Grant Program until 5p.m. ET on July 31, 2012.</p> <p id="">Inspired by the remarkable community revitalization effort documented in the network’s recent original series Motor City Rising, the innOVATION Grant Program was created to highlight similar stories of arts-focused, neighborhood renewal initiatives across the nation and provide support to model projects. Ovation is contributing $110,000 for the initial year’s grants–three for $25,000, two for $10,000 and one $15,000 “Viewer’s Choice Award.” Americans for the Arts’ roster of nearly 1,300 member organizations are eligible to be nominated for each.</p> <p id="">“Ovation is once again putting our money where our passion is by launching a program that provides much needed support for those communities utilizing the arts to revitalize local economies, create jobs and spur ingenuity,” said Ovation CEO Charles Segars. “The solution to our nation’s problems can be found through innovation, and innovation is made possible through the arts. The arts can and do make life better for all of us.”</p> <p id="">President and CEO of Americans for the Arts Robert L. Lynch added, “Cities and towns across the country are leveraging the arts and culture to define and address civic problems and drive revitalization and economic growth. Projects, with art at the center, that are both authentic and fresh, are creating jobs, re-activating old spaces, connecting neighbors, increasing tourism and offering hope as communities look forward. I am delighted Americans for the Arts’ membership base has this unique opportunity to be recognized for the excellent and compelling work they have done to enrich their communities economically and artistically.”</p> <p id="">The innOVATION Grant Program invites mayors, county executives or other elected community leaders to endorse the most-inspiring community revitalization efforts featuring the arts and artists in their city. In addition to the formal funding process, Ovation will also provide an online platform for submissions for the innOVATION Grant Program on its Facebook page and web site, providing a national platform for these encouraging stories and the opportunity for the public to choose an additional “viewer’s choice” grantee.</p> <p id="">Ovation, Americans for the Arts and national experts in creative place making will select this year’s grant recipients based on creative, economic and social impact, as well as ability to bring together public, private, nonprofit and community efforts to improve and enhance a specific region through arts and culture. The grant recipients will be announced October 2012, which is also National Arts and Humanities Month.
