Needless to say, this is a difficult move for many reasons. First, I absolutely love working at PHS. The students, staff and families at Par High are truly amazing, and I have been lucky to spend so much time with all of you. Between sporting events, service opportunities, student performances, or simply talking to you in the halls, I have been impressed with all that you guys do and say and think.

Congratulations to CJ Bernauer and Kenny Johnson for their acceptance to the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy respectively. While it is incredibly hard to get one student into one of the Military Academies, Parsippany High School is so proud to say that TWO of our graduating seniors have gained acceptance. Knowing Kenny and CJ, it is not surprising that they were among the 10% that actually gets admitted. Applicants need to procure either a congressional nomination or a service-connected nomination and demonstrate prowess in academics, physical fitness and leadership.

Raised in New Jersey, he graduated from New York City's School of Visual Arts in 2001. Along with his award- winning cover art for DC Comics, Jean has produced illustrations for Time Magazine, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin, ESPN, Atlantic Records, Target, Playboy, Nike, and Reebok among many others. An interesting mix I would say there are two main themes in this postcard book. One part of cards are vivid and disgusting illustrations with lots of blood, guts and violence, the other are light fine fairy-like line-art (there is even a baby animal and a flower you can send even to a small child). The cards has a standard size and rounded corners. They are glued together, so you can easily look through the book and don't be afraid that it collapses in your hand.

  • 4. Animated Short As an Advertisement
    Entertain Me The added value of Animated Shorts as Advertisements Lois van Baarle Image Synthesis and Computer Animation Thesis supervisor: Martin Lacet August 2009 Summary This thesis is an investigation of the use of animated shorts as an advertising medium, specifically its added value and effectiveness. I approached this topic by first looking at advertising in general, particularly its relationship to animation. This establishes a backdrop against which the phenomenon of animated shorts as advertisements, including the factors which led to the creation of these animated shorts, can be placed. Following this are two case studies of animated shorts as advertisements: Trembled Blossoms by Prada and Happiness Factory: The Movie by Coca‐Cola. These case studies include a look into the overall campaign in which the animations were created, a synopsis and analysis of the animations, and conclusions on their added value and effectiveness. Also included in this thesis is a chapter on the animated short I created for this EMMA project, Trichrome Blue. After completing the case studies and reflecting on their relevance to current advertising practices, it became clear to me that the main added value of animated shorts is their entertainment value. This is an enjoyable detail for viewers, but most importantly, it has become a marketing tactic for companies to make themselves stand out and appear to rise above less popular advertising practices. By presenting higher quality and a more enjoyable experience to viewers, companies hope to gain the approval of audiences and, crucially, emphasize the fact that they have the funds and fame to take animated commercials a step further.

  • The Devil Is a Myth: the Dynamic Uses of the Folkloresque Within Hellboy and Fables
    The Devil is a Myth: The Dynamic Uses of the Folkloresque within Hellboy and Fables By Amy Richardson A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2019 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis engages with the theoretical concept of the folkloresque, which considers the way in which folklore, folkloric tropes, motifs, and fuzzy allusion are integrated into popular culture materials to differing ends. Mike Mignola’s Hellboy and Bill Willingham’s Fables are considered in the vein of the folkloresque. As comics as a medium has different attributes form prose or other folkloresque products, this thesis considers the content, characters, prose, and artwork within the two series. Hellboy uses the folkloresque categories of integration and portrayal. The series uses legends and folktales to different ends in a number of different narrative arcs. Fables plays with the folkloresque category of parody to expand upon readers’ preconceived ideas of folktale characters. Intertextuality plays heavily into folkloresque texts, adding differing dimensions depending on the reader’s already-known knowledge of folklore and this dynamic influence is examined. 2 Acknowledgements My advisor, Daniel Peretti, has been an immense help throughout writing my thesis; his insight, encouragement, and helpful advice has helped to make this thesis coherent. After the “Aha!” moment I had in one of my first courses, Holly Everett assured me that I could, in fact, write about comics and folklore. My graduate cohort was always supportive and willing to listen to any issues that arose with ideas or syntax.

  • From Theleague
    LINES from the League The Student and Alumni Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Spring 2016 Letter from the Executive Director It’s always a pleasure to share with Lines readers what’s going on at the League. Over the last six months we’ve been taking a hard look at our operations and programs, and listen- ing carefully to our community. From the news below, I hope you’ll agree that the League is bringing ever more opportunities to those who truly aspire to develop as artists. First, let’s convey a warm welcome to our new Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Solomon, who started at the end of January and to our new Director of Development, Jeanne Lunin, who began in late April. We are fortunate to have these proven professionals joining the League in these new and important roles. Jennifer and Jeanne will help ensure the League’s financial health, enabling us to thrive for many years to come. Starting in September we will be launching a Two-Year Certificate Program designed for aspiring artists who want a more structured learning experience and a shorter length of study than our long-standing Four-Year Certificate Program. That program (the four-year), currently has 50 students enrolled, more than 40 of them international, studying at the League on international student visas. We will be adding to our new sequential, time-limited classes which have been drawing (no pun intended) new students. This spring’s classes included a 12-session study of The Art of Color in Theory & Practice.
