Valerie Keller sought to end homelessness by identifying its root causes rather than just addressing symptoms. Her team mapped the pathways
that often lead to homelessness, such as lack of affordable housing, poverty, lack of access to healthcare and the justice system's costly
treatment of offenses related to life on the streets. They concluded that comprehensively addressing factors preventing individuals from
obtaining and maintaining housing, like rent subsidies and supportive services combined with policy changes, could more effectively solve the
problem than temporary shelters alone.

A cityscape is a picture or design depicting urban scenery such as buildings and skylines. The document provides instructions for creating a monoprint cityscape in 6 steps: folding paper in half, drawing a horizon line and skyline of buildings, painting the outlines, pressing the folded paper to create a print, opening the paper to reveal the print, and using oil pastels and watercolors to add color. The process results in a one-of-a-kind printed cityscape image.
Clay can be formed into objects through processes like pinching, slab building, coil building, and wheel throwing. It needs to be fired in a kiln to become permanent. The document provides instructions for making clay cottage or gingerbread house facades, including drawing a sketch, building up the front wall and triangle sides with clay, scoring and slipping pieces together, allowing it to dry, glazing it, and firing it twice in a kiln. The finished pieces can have candles placed behind them.
The document outlines today's class agenda which includes reviewing objectives for a painting project using stippling technique as the class has reached the halfway point. The objectives are to use stippling to create a range of values showing complex forms, vary the element of value to create contrast, and create implied lines. Students will be asked how they are creating value range and if the grid is helping, and their artwork will be checked for implied lines. A deadline of this Friday is projected but may be extended if more time is needed.
Modigliani was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked in France in the early 20th century and was known for his elongated portraits and nudes; he developed a modern artistic style but died young from tuberculosis at age 35. His sculptures shared similarities with his paintings through elongated figures and mask-like faces.
The document discusses the history and origins of graffiti. It traces graffiti back to ancient Rome, where political statements and satire were scratched onto walls. The word "graffiti" comes from the Italian word "graffiato," meaning scratched. While sometimes viewed as vandalism, graffiti has also been considered a form of art and political expression throughout history. Modern graffiti emerged in New York in the 1970s, where artists would tag trains as a way to gain exposure and mark their territory across the city. The document explores both the legal and illegal aspects of graffiti and provides tips for creating graffiti-style lettering on paper.
This document provides guidance and objectives for a student art project focused on cultural representation. Students will research a culture, choose an image that illustrates aspects of that culture, and create an original artwork expressing the culture. The artwork should communicate cultural identity, social commentary, ceremony/ritual, or myth/legend through visual elements like color, value, and form. Students will write a paper describing the culture and how their chosen image represents it. The goals are for students to learn about different cultures and use art to express cultural beliefs, values and practices.
This document provides instructions for stippling and compares it to the related technique of pointillism. It explains that stippling uses dots of ink or paint to create shading, texture, and value, while pointillism specifically uses colored dots that blend from a distance to create an optical illusion of new colors. The document advises starting with black and white stippling to study value before moving to color techniques. It offers tips for stippling, such as keeping dots close together for darker areas and irregular dots for texture, and encourages the reader to choose a subject with varied values to practice the technique.
Creating Value with Line Strokes powerpointbecomstock
油
The document discusses different types of line strokes used in art including contour, criss cross, cross hatching, parallel, scribbling, stippling, and wavy lines. It focuses on stippling, which uses dots instead of lines to create shading and texture. The document instructs students to combine stippling with another line stroke for a project, noting that closer lines or dots will appear darker while farther lines or dots will appear lighter. Students are told to find an image with strong value contrast that they love to work on.
The document provides information about collage art including:
- Collage is an art technique where artwork is made from assembling different materials and creating a new whole.
- The term collage comes from the French word "coller" meaning "to glue." Collage became a distinctive part of modern art in the early 20th century.
- A collage can include materials like paper, photographs, found objects, and text glued to a surface. Collage making reemerged as an art form in the early 20th century bringing novelty to the technique.
The color wheel is used to show the relationship between colors. Sir Isaac Newton helped invent the first color wheel through experiments with light and a prism. The modern color wheel is broken into 12 segments and shows primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors cannot be made by mixing other colors, while secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors and tertiary colors mix a primary and secondary color.
2. Who is Rube Goldberg?
Rube Goldberg (1883-
1970) was a Pulitzer Prize
winning
cartoonist, sculptor and
author
He started out as an
engineer but became a
famous cartoonist
drawing funny inventions
3. Funny inventions??? Just thinkHave
you ever seen the game Mouse Trap?
The game Mouse Trap is an example of a funny invention that has
different pieces put together to work like a machine.
4. Rube Goldbergs cartoons were like this game because they were
inventions or contraptions in which he used an elaborate set of
arms, wheels, gears, handles, cups and rods, put in motion by balls, canary
cages, pails, boots, bathtubs, paddles and live animals and takes a simple
task and makes it extraordinarily complicated.
7. He used different types of machines to
make his cartoons!
We are going to look at six different kinds of
simple machines: inclined plane, wheel &
axel, wedge, pulley, screw, lever
14. Rube did not build the machines
he drew, but his cartoons have
become an inspiration to
aspiring engineers and scientists
across the world.
Watch this video to see one such
example!
