  • Boxes, Inkwells, Speech and Formulas DRAFT
    Boxes, Inkwells, Speech and Formulas DRAFT Richard J. Fateman March 10, 2006 1 Introduction This paper sets out some designs for entering mathematical formulas into a computer system. An initial approach to this task suggests that the previous model, namely writing mathematics on paper or chalkboard, should lead to a natural computer system using a stylus for writing on a tablet. For feedback and for presentation such as in this paper, we use the typesetting capabilities of Knuth’s TEX system to show how “properly typeset” expressions might appear. We use TEX here to show our design for an interactive input scheme, under implementation. For this to work, an interactive system must make expressions appear approximately in the same sequences as illustrated, on a computer display. The solid color boxes that appear in the incomplete forms are intended as invitations for the user to continue writing out a formula, continuing from within one of those boxes. Think of them as “virtual inkwells.” For example, an attempt to write a superscript must begin by dipping the stylus (or mouse) in the superscript inkwell. An attempt to write an operand adjacent to an existing must begin in that inkwell. Initiating writing elsewhere on the screen will have no proper ink and will not contribute to the formula entry. We also point out that speaking the terms, rather than writing them, may provide more accurate communication. At this point we suggest you look ahead a page or two to see some pictures of inkwells. 1.1 Why Inkwells? This ink-well-based constrained input provides an obvious basis for cooperation between the human entering a formula and the supporting computer program.

  • Special Catalogue 21
    Special Catalogue 21 Marbling OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Special Catalogue 21 includes 54 items covering the history, traditions, methods, and extraordinary variety of the art of marbling. From its early origins in China and Japan to its migration to Turkey in the 15th century and Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, marbling is the most colorful and fanciful aspect of book design. It is usually created without regard to the content of the book it decorates, but sometimes, as in the glorious work of Nedim Sönmez (items 39-44), it IS the book. I invite you to luxuriate in the wonderful examples and fascinating writings about marbling contained in these pages. As always, please feel free to browse our inventory online at www.oakknoll.com. Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow, making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Today, Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 25,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children’s books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy — plus books about the history of all of these fields.

  • The Bookbinding Workshop: Making As Collaborative Pedagogical Practice
    International Journal of Art and Design Education Conference, 2014 Elizabeth Kealy-Morris Collaborative Practices in Arts Education University of Chester Liverpool Tate, 24 & 25 October, 2014 [email protected] The Bookbinding Workshop: making as collaborative pedagogical practice “The value of Engagement is no longer questioned” (Trowler & Trowler, 2010, p.9) “Art education is a dynamic expression of eagerness, total intellectual energy, and inquisitiveness…” (Buckley & Conomos, 2009) “The difficult and the incomplete should be positive events in our understanding; they should stimulate us as simulation and facile manipulation of complete objects cannot” (Sennett, 2008:44). “(C)raft’s inferiority might be the most productive thing about it” (Adamson, 2007, p.4). Introduction Trowler & Trowler, in their 2010 report for the HEA’s Student Engagement Project, note that studies have consistently shown associations between student engagement and improvements in identified desired outcomes, including cognitive development, critical thinking skills, practical competence, and skills transferability. They also note that there are specific features of engagement which improve outcomes, including student-staff contact, active learning, and cooperation amongst students such as group work and peer support. Trowler & Trowler found that interacting with staff has been shown to have a powerful impact on learning, especially when it takes place outside the classroom and responds to individual student needs. The NUS 2012 Student Experience Survey supports Trowler & Trowler’s findings. The purpose of the study was to understand student expectations of a university experience. Teaching quality was cited as the most important factor in what makes a good learning experience. Students want more engaging teaching styles that are interactive, use technology & props to make the subject more accessible and interesting.

  • Resurrecting the Art of China's Dragon Scale Bookbinding
    AiA Art News-service Resurrecting the art of China's dragon scale bookbinding Updated 2nd April 2018 Resurrecting the art of China's dragon scale bookbinding Written by Stella Ko, CNN ContributorsNanlin Fang, CNN, Justin Robertson, CNN At his studio in Beijing, artist Zhang Xiaodong layers hundreds of sheets of thin paper on top of one another until they form a complete and impeccable image. When the chapters of his elaborate books are unfolded, the pages move like the bellows of an accordion. This ancient Chinese art, known as dragon scale bookbinding, stretches back more than 1,000 years to the Tang dynasty. Passed down between generations of royals and literate upper class families, the finished works were thought to resemble dragons, each page appearing like a "scale." Content by Rado Rado True Designers' Series - Sam Amoia With few of the books surviving to the present day, the bookbinding technique was at risk of becoming obsolete before Zhang decided to research and revive it. Using the Forbidden City Palace Museum's one existing dragon scale book for reference, he spent four years printing and binding his latest work, which was exhibited at the recent Art Central fair in Hong Kong. 1/7 – "Dream of The Red Chamber" (2017) Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaodong practices the art of dragon scale bookbinding that stretches back more than 1,000 years to the Tang dynasty. Credit: Courtesy of Sin Sin Fine Art Zhang is the first artist to practice this forgotten art in the modern age, according to the exhibition's curator, Ying Kwok.

  • Inkwell Stand
    Inkwell Stand By Inga Milbauer This antique Victorian inkwell stand with two covered inkwells belonged to Reverend George S. Dodge who was the pastor of the Congregational Church in Boylston from 1902 to 1917. The decorative inkwell stand is made of cast iron, as are the covers of the two glass inkwells. The back of the stand has a Western horseshoe design decorated with a horse head and a spot to rest your writing instrument. It measures about 6x3x5 inches. It was made by the Peck Stow & Wilcox Company. The Peck Stow & Wilcox Company dates back to 1797. Seth Peck of Southington, Connecticut started to manufacture tools and machines to replace the hand tools used by tinsmiths. Several firms succeeded the business and by 1870 the S. Stow Mfg. Co. of Plantsville, Connecticut and the Roys & Wilcox Co. of East Berlin, Connecticut were competitors. In December 1870 these two firms and the Peck, Smith Co. united and established a joint stock company named the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Company. In 1881 the Wilcox, Treadway & Co. of Cleveland, Ohio was acquired by the company. Tinsmiths’ tools and machines were the main products, but other items such as tools for carpenters, machinists and blacksmiths, and a variety of housekeeping products were also made. The company was bought out by Billings & Spencer in 1950. Inkwells made out of stone with round hollows date back to Ancient Egypt. Different materials such as glass, porcelain, animal horns, pewter, silver and other metals would later be used. From the seventeenth century onwards, inkwells became more elaborate and decorative as more people around the world began to use them.
