  • OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team
    OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team Handbook Okaloosa District Schools Revised 9/2012 OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS - OVAL ART OVAL Art began in Okaloosa County in 1988. School District Director of Fine Arts, Dr. Bruce Criswell, modeled OVAL Art after a similar program developed in Brevard County. The original manual will remain available as a download. Many changes have occurred since 1988, not least, the development of the Internet; online resources are plentiful and easy to access. Volunteers to deliver the program, alas, are not; therefore, this update will present a pragmatic and streamlined overview of the program as it has been presented in training over the last several years. All that is required of an OVAL volunteer is an enjoyment of art, and enjoyment of working with elementary age children - that's it! WHAT YOU DO: Each grade, from K - 5, has designated art prints for its program. Volunteers go into the classroom periodically, for about 30 minutes, and present the print chosen for that session. This is an art appreciation program, so offering biographical material about the artist, along with asking questions about the print, will give a good basic lesson. You may augment this with other works by the artist - there are plenty of online resources, as well as inexpensive art book series for children; and of course the library is a prime resource as well. Depending upon the print, you may want to have the class draw a version themselves, using the pencils and crayons they have, and whatever 8.5 x 11 paper the teacher can share (do try to let teachers know IN ADVANCE if the class will be drawing).

  • To Theo Van Gogh, the Hague, on Or About Friday, 13 July 1883
    To Theo van Gogh, The Hague, on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. on or about Friday, 13 July 1883 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. nos. b323 V/1962 (sheet 1) and b1036 V/1962 (sheet 2) Date: Vincent asks Theo to send a little extra, because he is already broke as a result of spending money in order to be able to start painting in Scheveningen (l. 49 and ll. 82-85). That places this letter after letter 361 of on or about 11 July 1883, since there he wrote that he wanted to work in Scheveningen. It must also have been written before the coming Sunday, when he is expecting a photographer (l. 79; in letter 363 this photographer indeed turns out to have come). We therefore date the letter on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. Additional: Original [1r:1] Waarde Theo, Voor ik naar Schevening ga wou ik nog even een woordje met U praten. Ik heb t maar eens doorgezet met de Bock dat ik bij hem een pied terre krijg. Misschien zal ik nu & dan bij Blommers eens aangaan ook.1 En dan is mijn plan een tijd lang Schevening geheel & al als hoofdzaak te beschouwen, smorgens er heen te gaan en den dag te blijven, of anders als ik thuis moet zijn dat thuis zijn in t middaguur te stellen als t te warm is en dan savonds er weer heen. Dit zou me nieuwe idees geven vertrouw ik, en rust, niet door stilzitten maar door verandering van omgeving en bezigheid.

  • Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911)
    Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911) The Viol Player (Le joueur de viole) Brown ink, brown wash and black chalk, extensively heightened with white, on buff paper. Signed and dedicated a mon ami Holloway / A. Legros at the lower left corner of the backing sheet. 212 x 223 mm. (8 3/8 x 8 3/4 in.) This drawing is a preparatory study, in reverse, for Legros’ etching Le joueur de viole of c.1868. As one modern scholar has noted, both the drawing and the print ‘strongly evoke Italian prototypes. The viola player set in a landscape suggests Venetian sources. The reserved bystanders in the print are similar to the angels in Piero della Francesca’s famous Baptism of Christ that was acquired by the National Gallery, London in 1861. Contact with latter-day Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Burne-Jones may have motivated Legros to draw upon such sources.’ A related etching by Legros entitled Le joueur de contrebasse may also be dated to the same period. The present sheet bears the artist’s dedication to the printseller Marseille Holloway (d.1910). Holloway dealt in old and modern prints from premises in London, first in Henrietta Street and later in Bedford Street, and published a number of etchings by Legros. The drawing later entered the collection of Frank E. Bliss, who assembled one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of etchings and lithographs by Legros. Together with a large number of drawings and paintings by the artist, these were exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery in London in 1922. Many of the paintings and drawings, including the present sheet, were sold at Christie’s the following year.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) Had Only Seven Members but Influenced Many Other Artists
    1 • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 2 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

  • Catalogue of an Exhibition of Etchings by Alphonse Legros : [Held at The] M
    »v CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF ETCHINGS BY ALPHONSE LEGROS Galleries of M. KNOEDLER & CO. 556 Fifth Avenue, near 46th Street October 2nd to 16th, 1915 ALPHONSE LEGROS Peintre et Graveur ~ AXY eulogistic articles have been written and many exhibitions held both in the Old and New Worlds of the works of this great master, but owing to the fact that they ap­ peal more to the artist than to the layman, and also that the number issued of the etchings is unusually small, the gen­ eral public have been unable to come in contact with and thereby study a representative collection of them except on very rare occasions. From Henri Beraldi, in his "Les Graveurs du XIX Siecle." we learn that there were six complete collections of the etchings of Legrosj viz., by MM. Seymour Haden, Jonides, Thibaudeau and Howard' in London and by MM. Burty and Malassis in Paris. Then, in a foot-note, he states there is an­ other complete collection—the most complete known—viz.: (we quote verbatim) "Rapport a l'Academie de Dijon, par Henri Chabeuf: juillet 1888. Cette Academic a decerne a Legros une medaille d'or. Le graveur n'a pas oublie sa ville natale: il a envoye au rnusee de Dijon une belle col­ lection de ses eaux-fortes. L'oeuvre de la Biblio- theque Nationale commence a se developper: il est a desirer qu'il soit pousse au complet. La collection la plus complete connue des eaux-fortes de Legros appartient actuellement a M. T. G. Arthur, de Glas­ gow." (The nucleus of this collection came from the "Thibaudeau" purchased in 1887.) This "most complete collection known," made by M.

  • Cézanne Portraits
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction: The Reading of the Model JOHN ELDERFIELD La lecture du modèle, et sa réalization, est quelquefois très lent à venir pour l’artiste. Cézanne to Charles Camoin, 9 December 19041 Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence on 19 January 1839, and died there aged sixty-seven on 23 October 1906. He made almost 1,000 paintings, of which around 160 are portraits.2 This publication accompanies the only exhibition exclusively devoted to these works since 1910, when Ambroise Vollard, who had been the artist’s dealer, showed twenty-four ‘Figures de Cézanne’. The present, much larger selection was chosen with the aims of providing a guide to the range and development of Cézanne’s portraits, the methods of their making, and the choice of their sitters. Also, more broadly, it is intended to raise the question of what the practice of portraiture meant for Cézanne when he was painting – or, as he said, reading and ‘realising’ – the model. Old Rules When Cézanne began painting portraits in the early 1860s, portraiture in France had long been acknowledged as a genre second in importance only to paintings of historical and mythological subjects. It was growing in popularity, and it would continue to do so during the period of Cézanne’s career: in the late 1880s, a National Portrait Gallery would be proposed for Paris, as well as a special gallery for portraits in the Louvre.3 It was during the 1860s and 1870s, however, that many ambitious painters found themselves enquiring what a portrait should aim to do.

  • In South Kensington, C. 1850-1900
    JEWELS OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM: GENDERED AESTHETICS IN SOUTH KENSINGTON, C. 1850-1900 PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK PH.D. HISTORY OF ART UCL 2 I, PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ______________________________________________ 3 ABSTRACT Several collections of brilliant objects were put on display following the opening of the British Museum (Natural History) in South Kensington in 1881. These objects resemble jewels both in their exquisite lustre and in their hybrid status between nature and culture, science and art. This thesis asks how these jewel-like hybrids – including shiny preserved beetles, iridescent taxidermised hummingbirds, translucent glass jellyfish as well as crystals and minerals themselves – functioned outside of normative gender expectations of Victorian museums and scientific culture. Such displays’ dazzling spectacles refract the linear expectations of earlier natural history taxonomies and confound the narrative of evolutionary habitat dioramas. As such, they challenge the hierarchies underlying both orders and their implications for gender, race and class.
