Birth of a Book

Birth of a Book: how a hardback book is made

In the modern society, more and more people like to use electronic products, like eBook. But sometimes I still can find many people read paper books on the bus or subway. Maybe some feelings of books can not be replaced. I like the smell from books, what about you?... 

Vagrant Artist

Vagrant Miroslav Tichý, was a photographer who from the 1960s until 1985 took thousands of surreptitious pictures of women in his hometown of Kyjov in the Czech Republic, using homemade cameras constructed of cardboard tubes, tin cans and other at-hand materials. Most of his subjects were unaware they are being photographed. A few struck beauty-pageant poses when they sighted him, perhaps not realizing that the parody of a camera he carried was real 

His photographs remained largely unknown until an exhibition was held for him in 2004. Tichý did not attend exhibitions, and lived a life of self-sufficiency and freedom from the standards of society.

Why? School

Why School?

The Internet has delivered an explosion of learning opportunities for today’s students, creating an abundance of information, knowledge, and teachers as well as a starkly different landscape from the one in which our ideas about school were born. Traditional educators, classrooms, and brick-and-mortar schools are no longer necessary to access information. Instead, things like blogs and wikis, as well as remote collaborations and an emphasis on critical thinking skills are the coins of the realm in this new kingdom. Yet the national dialogue on education reform focuses on using technology to update the traditional education model, failing to reassess the fundamental model on which it is built.

Comment

「文字書く人たち」を主催された全ての皆さん、おめでとうございます！私は、皆さんが「A Brush with Silence」のコンセプトを、日本でどのようになさるのか興味津々でした。インターネットでビデオを拝見して、まるで子供が生まれたような気持ちで す！J-LAFバージョンの「A Brush with Silence」は素晴らしいです。シンギングボールをオープニングとクロージングに使い、最後に灯りを消すことで、とりわけ、この夕べがより演劇的にな るように工夫されていますね。ビデオも上手に編集されており、書き手たちと観客双方の、極めて集中した感じが出ています。特に私が感動していることは、皆 さん全員が日本人であり、１つの文化がこれだけ世界を受け入れているということです。世界平和にむけてのとても佳きシンボルです。

My congratulations to all the organizers of Moji kaku hitotachi! I was very curious to see what you would do with the concept of "A Brush with Silence" in Japan. Now that I see your video on the Internet, I feel like I have given birth to a child!　Your version of "A Brush with Silence" is lovely. You have taken steps to make the evening more theatrical, especially by using a singing bowl to open and close the evening and by extinguishing the lights at the end. The video is well edited and gives a sense of intense concentration by both calligraphers and public. What is particularly moving for me is that you are all Japanese, that this openness to the world is all happening within one culture. A very nice symbol for peace in the world.

Wondermind

         Wondermind is about a few things. It’s about the brilliant, amazing and truly mind-boggling stuff that’s going on inside your brain as you grow. It’s about the art of Alice in Wonderland, the exhibition at Tate Liverpool. And it’s about putting together both of those things: mixing art with science. Being good at one doesn’t mean you can’t be good at the other (in fact, it’s often the opposite).

             You might wonder, “What links all of those things together?”
 What’s the difference between science and art? So SCIENCE and ART can be found everywhere, and are not very different at all… 

Enter the world of your Wondermind and:

•   talk to scientists who know more about your brain than even you do

•   discover art inspired by the developing brain

•   follow the White Rabbit into the forest of synapses

•   find the Cheshire Cat in a moonlit maze

•   talk tea with the Mad Hatter

•   remember not to upset the Queen of Hearts

This is a video I recommend to U:

The wonder of looking at art

            When something catches your attention, you might become delighted or perhaps puzzled. You might stop to think about what you see because it stands out. Perhaps what you see is unfamiliar to you, and you begin to wonder. When you look at a work of art you have never seen before, you might wonder about what you are seeing and experiencing.

            

            We wanted to know what children like you thought about some of the art works in the Alice in Wonderland exhibition at Tate Liverpool. Here are all the different questions they were inspired to ask the artists…
