Pontious (retired) Fine Arts Consultant Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Tony Evers, PhD, State Superintendent Madison, Wisconsin This publication is available from: Content and Learning Team Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction 125 South Webster Street Madison, WI 53703 608/261-7494 cal.dpi.wi.gov/files/cal/pdf/art.design.guide.pdf © December 2013 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, creed, age, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, marital status or parental status, sexual orientation, or disability. Foreword Art and design education are part of a comprehensive Pre-K-12 education for all students. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction continues its efforts to support the skill and knowledge development for our students across the state in all content areas. This guide is meant to support this work as well as foster additional reflection on the instructional framework that will most effectively support students’ learning in art and design through creative practices. This document represents a new direction for art education, identifying a more in-depth review of art and design education. The most substantial change involves the definition of art and design education as the study of visual thinking – including design, visual communications, visual culture, and fine/studio art. The guide provides local, statewide, and national examples in each of these areas to the reader. The overall framework offered suggests practice beyond traditional modes and instead promotes a more constructivist approach to learning.

(Head of Department) Signature Date CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the study Traditional wall painting is an old art practiced in many different parts of the world. This art form has existed since pre-historic times according to (Skira, 1950) and (Kissick, 1993). In Africa, cave paintings exist in many countries such as “Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Zimbabwe and South Africa”, (Wilcox, 1984). Traditional wall painting mostly by women can be found in many parts of Africa including Ghana, Southern Africa and Nigeria. These paintings are done mostly to enhance the appearance of the buildings and also serve other purposes as well. “Wall painting has been practiced in Northern Ghana for centuries after the collapse of the Songhai Empire,” (Ross and Cole, 1977).

    Guide to Digital Art Specifications

    Guide to Digital Art Specifications Version 12.05.11 Image File Types Digital image formats for both Mac and PC platforms are accepted. Preferred file types: These file types work best and typically encounter few problems. tif (TIFF) jpg (JPEG) psd (Adobe Photoshop document) eps (Encapsulated PostScript) ai (Adobe Illustrator) pdf (Portable Document Format) Accepted file types: These file types are acceptable, although application versions and operating systems can introduce problems. A hardcopy, for cross-referencing, will ensure a more accurate outcome. doc, docx (Word) xls, xlsx (Excel) ppt, pptx (PowerPoint) fh (Freehand) cdr (Corel Draw) cvs (Canvas) Image sizing specifications should be discussed with the Editorial Office prior to digital file submission. Digital images should be submitted in the final size desired. White space around the image should be removed. Image Resolution The minimum acceptable resolution is 200 dpi at the desired final size in the paged article. To ensure the highest-quality published image, follow these optimum resolutions: • Line = 1200 dpi. Contains only black and white; no shades of gray. These images are typically ink drawings or charts. Other common terms used are monochrome or 1-bit. • Grayscale or Color = 300 dpi. Contains no text. A photograph or a painting is an example of this type of image. • Combination = 600 dpi. Grayscale or color image combined with a line image. An example is a photograph with letter labels, arrows, or text added outside the image area. Anytime a picture is combined with type outside the image area, the resolution must be high enough to maintain smooth, readable text.

    David Rosenberg's July 2013 / 2018 Interview with Miguel Chevalier

    David Rosenberg’s July 2013 / 2018 Interview with Miguel Chevalier Flows and Networks David Rosenberg: Can you tell me what led you, starting in the early 1980s, to use computer applications as a means of artistic expression? Miguel Chevalier: I was very much interested in the video work of the South Korean artist Nam June Paik and in Man Ray’s rayographs. And the work of Yves Klein and Lucio Fontana constituted at that time for me two forms of pictorial absolutism, but I did not yet clearly see how one could go beyond all those avant-garde movements. In the early 1980s, at the Fine Arts School in Paris, several of us young students asked ourselves what was to do done after all these “deconstructions” and negations of the field of art and painting. This was, need it be recalled, a time when, for example, Daniel Buren said he represented the “degree zero” of painting. For my part, I felt far removed from Graffiti Art, from Free Figuration, from the German Neo-Expressionists, and from the Italian painters who had gathered around the art critic Achille Bonito Oliva. I wanted to explore still-virgin territories and create a new form of composition with the help of computer applications. D.R.: You took a special set of courses in this area? M.C.: No, not at all. I really approached computers and programming as an artist and an autodidact. During this period, there was no instruction in these areas in art schools in France. D.R.: And how were your research efforts perceived? M.C.: With a lot of scepticism.

La scelta di utilizzare il computer per esprimere il fare artistico, per sviluppare un linguaggio della manifestazione artistica diviene strettamente connesso • al sistema operativo, • all’applicazione, • alla pagina definita dal codice ed • alle teorie che del computer prendono in considerazione gli aspetti logici, simbolici; E’ possibile attivare sul computer, in maniera chiara e fortemente innovativa, una rappresentazione del proprio agire artistico. La vera innovazione, sappiamo bene, non consiste certo nella tastiera più o meno user friendly ma nella capacità di usare il mezzo informatico alla stessa stregua dei più disparati materiali presi a base nelle rappresentazioni dell’arte contemporanea. 13 14 15 16 17 Quali possono essere, allora, le strategie per l'archiviazione e, principalmente, per la conservazione delle arti digitali e di altre pratiche artistiche contemporanee di natura effimera o variabile e comunque strettamente dipendente da un medium la cui sopravvivenza è abbondantemente messa in crisi dagli stessi assunti metodologici della tecnologia adottata?
