    IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION Photo caption. Photo caption. Preliminary Experience Create a Journal from an Altered Book OBJECTIVES A TEACHING GUIDE FOR GRADE 4 AArtrtrtSmaSSmart:mart:t: Indiana INDIANA’S VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS The fi rst ArtSmart: Indiana was a major educational and public program of the Greater Lafayette Art Museum (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette), created to meet the goal of improving visual literacy, museum education skills, and awareness of the development of art in Indiana. The original program, (1986) written by Susan O. Chavers, and implemented by Sharon Smith Theobald, was a nontraditional multidisciplinary approach that was well received by Hoosier teachers who included ArtSmart: Indiana in their curricular plans. A copy of the ArtSmart: Indiana 200 page Resource Guide was sent to every library throughout Indiana, with the support of Pam Bennett at the Indiana Historical Bureau. The current revision of ArtSmart: Indiana, as a web-based initiative, is a Partnership Education Program of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Special appreciation is extended to Dr. Jeffrey Patchen, President and CEO, and Mary Fortney, Educational Resource Development Manager, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The updated ArtSmart: Indiana project was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services with additional support from the McAllister Foundation to launch the McAllister Art Smart: Indiana Technology Center. Also, Randolph Deer, Indianapolis, and The North Central Health Services helped underwrite the additional printings of the The Art Smart: Indiana Resource Catalog and The Teaching Guide.

  • Toward the Centennial
    20 Toward the Centennial Butler University can't be the richest or oldest college. It can't be the biggest, but it can be the best and it can be the most beautiful. -J. l. Holcomh, 1')43 As THE UNIVERSITY MOVED TOWARD its Centennial, the vision and determination traditional with its leaders had been dampened by neither Depression nor war. Director James I. Holcomb's hopes for But- ler might not approach reality for another fifty years. Nevertheless, he and its other leaders never lost sight of their objectives. The 1930s During the Putnam administration, remnants of the old Fairview Park vanished and the new campus began to take shape. The old streetcar loop south of Jordan Hall disappeared, as did the pool where the streetcars' horses had watered. An arsonist burned down the old band shell. For a time the university retained the pump house that provided water for gardens and drinking fountains. Near an old bridge crossing the canal at 3G4 Buder at Fairview the south end of the present Holcomb Gardens, the pump house drew from a deep well that still supplies water to the pond that mirrors the Carillon. Where Robertson Hall now stands, a greenhouse arose on the concrete foundation ofa former picnic pavilion. An ugly, weather-beaten water tower stood on campus until students contrived to bring about its destruction. Some confusion exists in the records about how this was accomplished. Ac- cording to one account, the tower was burned during a pep rally. A merry- go-round 150 yards north of the present Jordan Hall was removed.

ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 2017.0159 NUMBER: NOTES: HISTORICAL SKETCH Between 1890 and 1910, artist colonies were forming all across the United States, Indiana included. Artists, primarily from Chicago, migrated to Brown County in Nashville, Indiana starting in the late 1800s in search of inspiration. Brown County was an ideal location, remote enough to feature rustic cabins, vistas, forests, and creeks, yet close enough to larger markets for art such as Indianapolis, Chicago, Louisville, and Cincinnati. Though other artists had regularly visited Brown County, T.C. Steele (1847-1926) was the first major artist to settle in Brown County, buying property and building his home 'House of the Singing Winds' in 1907. Steele used the remote location as inspiration for his landscape work. During Steele's time here, he built studios and guest houses for friends and clients and is credited with founding the Brown County Art Colony. Other artists followed suit, such as Adolph and Alberta Schulz who were regular visitors up until 1917 when they officially relocated to Brown County from Wisconsin in search of landscapes untouched by the dairy industry.

  • Through the Years with Tri Kappa Fine Arts Since Its Beginning in 1901, Tri Kappa Has Been a Supporter of the Arts
    Through the years with Tri Kappa Fine Arts Since its beginning in 1901, Tri Kappa has been a supporter of the arts. At early meetings, the members studied authors and their works. They held musicales, book reviews and appreciation programs. Each chapter was required to “publish a fraternity paper, purely literary, (to be) read before chapters four times a year (and) shall be called “Skull”. This was in addition to submitting articles to the quarterly State magazine, Cross Keys. 1926 In 1926 the Hoosier Salon was founded and Tri Kappa presented a prize at the first meeting in Chicago. Tri Kappa continues to sponsor the Beryl Showers Holland Award in honor of our founder. Beryl also served as President of the Hoosier Salon for 22 years and was instrumental in moving the salon to Indianapolis. 1929 The first State Art Chairman was appointed. This year $600 was pledged for prize money for the Hoosier Salon. 1932 Tri Kappa started the purchase prize system. The first was Edward K. William’s canvas “The Hoosier Cabin.” 1936 Marie Goth’s painting of Beryl Showers Holland was added to our Art Collection. 1941 Hoosier Salon held its exhibit in Indianapolis instead of Chicago.

  • 'Skirting the Issue: Stories of Indiana's Historical Women Artists'
    H-Indiana McFarland on Newton and Weiss, 'Skirting the Issue: Stories of Indiana's Historical Women Artists' Review published on Saturday, September 1, 2007 Judith Vale Newton, Carol Ann Weiss. Skirting the Issue: Stories of Indiana's Historical Women Artists. Indianapolis: Indiana Historical Society Press, 2004. xiv + 390 pp. $59.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-87195-177-9. Reviewed by Colleen McFarland (University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire)Published on H-Indiana (September, 2007) Skirting the Issue combines two important art historical genres into one: the catalog and the biographical dictionary. Indeed, the book was associated with a traveling exhibition, "Creating History: Indiana's Historic Women Artists" (2004-06) and a companion DVD,Out of the Shadows: Portraits of Historic Women Artists (2006). Like a catalog, it includes contextual and biographical information about forty featured artists and provides high-quality, full-page color reproductions of prominent artworks. The book's true strength, however, lies in its painstakingly researched biographies of one-hundred historical women artists of Indiana. A quick glance at the acknowledgments, bibliography, and notes reveals that the authors have done their homework. Judith Vale Newton, an Indianapolis attorney who has written extensively on Indiana and Midwestern visual arts, and Carol Ann Weiss, former visual arts editor and columnist forArts Indiana magazine, made considerable use of manuscript and photograph collections of Indiana's state and local repositories and museums. In this regard, their work is invaluable to the study of the Midwestern visual arts from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century. The opening chapter, "The Spirit of the Times," places Indiana women artists in a historical context, but not a historiographical context.

  • TRI-KAPPA COLLECTION of ARTWORKS at ROSE-HULMAN
    TRI-KAPPA COLLECTION OF ARTWORKS at ROSE-HULMAN The Tri-Kappa Art Collecion of Indiana artists is valuable and unique. Started in 1932, the collection contains over 100 artworks by almost as many artists. The value of the collection has increased manyfold since then. After years of traveling all over the state, it was found necessary to permanently house the collection. As a result of an all-chapter poll in 1973, the chapters voted to loan nearly every painting to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The works would be reframed and restored if necessary, insured, and hung permanently in the John Logan Library, which is hailed as a fire-proof building. A few paintings have been added to the collection in the library since 1973. The Tri-Kappa chapters are encouraged to plan outings to view the collection. 1 PATRIARCH MAPLE 69th Hoosier Salon 1993 Ken Bucklew (b. 1957) No. 1 Oil 15.5 X 11.5 Ken was born in Greencastle, Indiana on March 8, 1957. He grew up on the edge of Spencer in Owen County, Indiana about 13 miles northeast of Bloomington. The Bucklew Gallery is currently located in Spencer near the entrance to Indiana’s oldest “ McCormick’s Creek” State Park. Ken’s natural talent for drawing and painting was recognized by his elementary school art teacher, Ms. Ina Hight, who gave him an awareness of his potential. Ken’s work began earning him recognition, awards and a limited income during his high school years. Ken was accepted by a technical school and planned on earning his degree in commercial art.
