Uihlein www.mam.org 5 President and Chairman’s Report This Annual Report covers the period September 1, 2005, to August 31, 2006. However, where necessary, we mention a few subsequent events. The most significant of those is that thanks to the dedication and generous support of donors, the $30 million Campaign to Retire the Debt was accomplished. By the end of 2006, nearly all of the building debt had been repaid, and the small amount left was more than covered by pledges. The major donors (over $1 million) in order of size of donation were: David and Julia Uihlein, Lynde Uihlein, Betty Quadracci, Sheldon and Marianne Lubar, Cudahy Foundation, Chris Abele, Bud and Sue Selig, Donald and Donna Baumgartner, Reiman Foundation, and Andrew and Carlene Ziegler. The Museum is enormously grateful to them and to all of the donors. A huge burden has now been lifted. Sheldon B. Lubar With the debt taken care of, the Museum could now prepare a course of action for the future. All areas of the Museum came together for a rigorous period of self-analysis so that long-term comprehensive goals could be defined; the result, the Board has adopted a five-year Strategic Plan starting in 2006–2007. The Milwaukee Art Museum continues to serve as the official icon of our city, but the Strategic Plan places emphasis, now more than ever, on what happens inside, and has set forth a new Mission Statement for the Museum: The Milwaukee Art Museum collects and preserves art, presenting it to the community as a vital source of inspiration and education. It also identifies five clear goals: Goal 1: Sharpen the Museum’s artistic focus to build our profile among our peers, nationally and internationally. Goal 2: Develop the Museum’s role as a premier educational resource and as a gathering place for the community to experience the arts.

  • The Complete Peanuts Volume I by Charles M. Schulz
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators STUDY GUIDE: THE COMPLETE PEANUTS by Charles M. Schulz Volume One: 1950-1952 Study guide written by Art Baxter Introduction America was in the throes of post-war transition in 1950. Soldiers had returned home, started families and abandoned the cities for the sprawling green lawns of newly constructed suburbia. They had sacrificed during the Great Depression and subsequent war effort and this was their reward. Television was beginning to replace the picture-less radio not to mention live theater, supper clubs and dance halls, as Americans stayed home and raised families. Despite all this “progress” an empty feeling still resided in the pit of the American soul. Psychology, that new science that had recently gone mainstream, tried to explain why. Then, Charles M. Schulz’s little filler comic strip, Peanuts, appeared in the funny pages. Schulz was born in 1922, the solitary child of a barber and his wife, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sparky, his lifelong nickname, was given to him when he was an infant, by an uncle, after the comic strip character Barney Google’s racehorse Spark Plug. Schulz had an early love and talent for drawing. He enjoyed famous comic strips like Roy Crane’s Wash Tubbs/Captain Easy (1924- 1943), the prototype of the adventure strip; E. C. Segar’s Thimble Theater (1919-1938), and its diverse cast of colorful characters going in and out rollicking adventures; and Percy Crosby’s Skippy (1925-1945) with its wise-for-his-age perceptive child protagonist. Schulz was a bright student and skipped several grades, making him the youngest and smallest in his class.

AVAILABLE FROM National Council for History Education, 26915 Westwood Road, Suite B-2, Westlake, OH 44145-4657; Tel: 440-835-1776. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. • MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: • Identify and describe the 6 basic simple machines. • Explain the mechanical advantage of simple machines. • Analyze and explain the relationship between potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy present in a compound machine. • Apply understanding of simple machines and energy transfer to design and build a compound machine to complete a predetermined task. • Write a Rube Goldberg machine explanation to describe the machine's actions. Central Focus This lesson can be used as hands-on practice with simple machines and the concepts of energy transfers. Students will be collaborating together to design a working Rube Goldberg machine to complete the simple tasks of popping a balloon or stapling papers together. In the project, they will use their knowledge of different types of energy, how energy is transferred, and simple machines to design their multi-step machine. Key Words: physics, create, makerspace, blueprints, engineering design process, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy Background Information A Rube Goldberg (RG) machine is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way, relying on chain reactions.

The $125-million-dollar project, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, became an icon for the museum and the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin even before its completion. This report presents a case study of the project. Background information regarding the architectural context for the addition will be provided, as well as a synopsis of the architect’s mastery of structural design. A number of unique elements of the building will be discussed in detail. In addition, the building’s complex structural design will be reviewed through component and system evaluation, diagrams, and simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Milwaukee Art Museum The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) traces its beginnings to two institutions, the Layton Art Gallery, established in 1888, and the Milwaukee Art Institute, which was established in 1918. In 1957 the groups joined together, forming the private, nonprofit Milwaukee Art Center, now known as the Milwaukee Art Museum.

  • The Art of Rube Goldberg
    current past articles swifts & slows submit The Art of Rube Goldberg Ron Morosan January 2020 The Art of Rube Goldberg The Queens Museum Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, New York thru February 9, 2020 Rube Goldberg: Is He a Comic Genius? This is the question I had in mind as I took the #7 train to the Mets-Willets Point stop to see a comprehensive exhibition of the widely syndicated cartoonist and humorist Rube Goldberg, on view at the Queens Museum until February 9th, 2020. Some may ask: Who is Rube Goldberg? As one of the few people whose name is in the Merriam Webster dictionary describing a mechanical sequence of events that makes something simple, like closing a door, into a complex series of actions that are patently absurd and wildly humorous, today his name and cartoons do not get a lot of media play. Yet, his influence on other artists and filmmakers from Charlie Chaplin to Mad Magazine contributors is extensive. In this first retrospective exhibition of Goldberg’s work since 1970, the year he died, the whole range of his long career is on display in two galleries, which even include an outstanding drawing he made at the age of eleven. Best know for his Inventions Cartoons, the elaborate cartoon illustrations of absurd chain reactions that got his name in the dictionary, he was wildly creative as a comic illustrator and through his long career worked as a vaudeville comedian, political cartoonist, comic writer, sculptor, TV show host, and commercial novelty product developer. The Queens Museum exhibition shows a sampling of the full range and variety of his ideas and skills, from his Foolish Questions, his first big success in 1908, to his political commentary drawings from the 1940’s when he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and also some of his commercial forays into popular consumer novelties.
