Learning Programme Resource Pack learning programme resource pack Created by: Principal Partner: Welcome! At Break, we are dedicated to making life better for children and young people across East Anglia. We work tirelessly to provide care, support, and a brighter future for the young people who need us, for as long as they need us, and we are committed to opening the door to brighter tomorrows. With children’s homes across East Anglia, a centre for families in crisis, and services for children with disabilities and their families, Break’s work enables members of our community to look to the future with hope. Break’s fundraising is bold and creative – our trilogy of GoGo public art trails being a stand- out representation of our upbeat and positive attitude. Working with Wild in Art, the trails have consisted of animal sculptures which are sponsored by local businesses, who then commission artists to transform them into incredible works of art. After being displayed on the streets, the sculptures are sold at auction. There was GoGoGorillas! in 2013, GoGoDragons! in 2015, and GoGoHares! in 2018 – all of which generated a huge buzz about Norwich and Norfolk, and in total raised over £1 million to change young lives. In 2020, it is Cambridge’s turn to host Break’s latest trail. Cows about Cambridge will feature up to 50 sculptures, providing an interactive trail for the public, a brilliant development opportunity for Cambridge businesses, and a fantastic way for local artists to get their work out there and on display. The Cows will brighten up Cambridge for 10 weeks next spring before being sold at auction with all proceeds going to Break. Together we can keep changing young lives. Rachel Cowdry CEO, Break www.break-charity.org Contact details Name: Clare Hayes Position: Learning Programme Co-ordinator – Cows about Cambridge Contact number: 07939 252 191 Email: [email protected] Website: www.cowsaboutcambridge.co.uk CowsaboutCambridge @CowsAboutCambs @cowsaboutcambridge #cowsaboutcambridge You can also follow Wild in Art @wildinart and Break @break_charity Message from morgan sindall Construction and mjs Construction We are delighted to be sponsoring the Cows about Cambridge project as the Learning Programme Associate. We want to involve as many of our city’s children and young people as possible in an event that celebrates creativity, attracts thousands of visitors and raises money for a very deserving cause. We are thrilled that so many schools and youth groups have signed up to the Learning Programme so far. Morgan Sindall Construction has been in Cambridge for over 75 years and has been a partner of Cambridgeshire County Council for over 10 years, building schools around the county, so it seems very appropriate that we should be supporting this fantastic event. It provides opportunities for young people to develop new skills and experiences that increase their life chances and contribute to the growth of their community. MJS Construction has been working in Cambridge for over 20 years and has worked in partnership with Morgan Sindall on many of their schools projects, and is similarly keen to support this project, helping students to develop their creativity, problem-solving and teamwork skills, all of which are essential in the construction industry. Both organisations would like this project to help raise awareness of the opportunities available to young people in the construction industry locally, and would therefore like to offer prizes to the school teams that produce the most creative and exciting mini-moos. Prizes will include gift packs, site visits and work experience, so just like the construction industry, the project doesn’t end when the design is complete. Thank you for engaging with the Cows about Cambridge Learning Programme. We trust it will be of great benefit to your students and young people (as well as to the city as a whole), and, perhaps give them some awareness of a new possibility for their futures – with a career in construction.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

  • Camille Pissarro's Jardinière (1884-1885) in the Context of His
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    OUR HISTORY & VISION An idea born in the legendary resort of sunny Crans Montana known for its history of being the first Swiss ski school, home to the Omega European Golf Masters, its vistas and its natural beauty, we bring you Urban Arts at 1500m- 3000m. Europe’s highest open air urban / contemporary art museum. Founded by Gregory Pages in 2015 in participation with Crans Montana Absolutely, our aim and slogan is « Taking Urban Art To New Heights ». We are not your regular art festival, voted by High snobiety as ”one of the eight best cities for graffiti that are off the beaten path”. A one-of-a-kind blend between nature and art in the astonishing Swiss Alps. It all began with the founder's simple question.: Why not ask artists to express themselves on the bleak grey concrete surfaces of cable car stations, parking lots and other various empty and abandoned walls? Year-round Crans Montana has inspired writers, painters and musicians dating back to the 18th century due to its tranquility and beauty. Created in 2015, Vision Art Festival has seen 4 editions and the creation of more than 63 murals by international artists. WE ARE VISION ART FESTIVAL! Edition 2018 took place from August 17 to 26. SERVAL (SWITZERLAND) https://www.instagram.com/serval77 « Study After Ferdinand Hodler » The inspiration for this mural is based on the famous painting by Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, « L’étang long » painted in 1913 in Montana, somehow a tribute to the artist for the centenary of his death. As an illustrator, Serval has been painting since the beginning of the nineties.
