A brief survey of the Journal of 26 the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes shows that, up to the early 1970s, it published 27 three to four articles on architectural topics every year. Among them are classics 28 in the field that have kept their value to the present day, such as Wittkower’s arti- 29 cles on perspective and Palladianism, Robin Middleton’s article on Cordemoy, 30 or Krautheimer’s on medieval iconography.1 Beginning in the mid- 1970s, archi- 31 32 1.

  • Lake Wingra: Changing Perceptions and Land-Use Decisions of Madison Wetlands Matthew Bodden, Holly Elmer, Caitlin Mclester, Rebecca Perry
    Lake Wingra: Changing Perceptions and Land-Use Decisions of Madison Wetlands Matthew Bodden, Holly Elmer, Caitlin Mclester, Rebecca Perry Abstract Madison, Wisconsin is characterized by the presence of the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Capitol. Surrounded by a beautiful chain of fresh water lakes, the scenic nature of Madison's surroundings have always played an important part in the policy decisions that have formed the city. This paper uses the historical discourses centering around our study area of Lake Wingra, on the East side of Madison, as examples of the dynamics surrounding landscape-forming decisions. Analysis of wetlands extent over time confirms that the majority of wetland reclamation in the study are occurred before 1959. A detailed analysis of discourses about wetlands suggests that wetlands were regarded as useless and ugly, contributing to local dispositions in favor of dredging and filling. Most filling took place before accurate scientific under- standing of the value of wetland-provided ecosystem services could inform policy decisions. Most land reclamation in the state occurred for agricultural purposes, but wetland filling in Madison was carried out for institutional purposes. A comparison between institutionally-owned land and privately-owned land suggests that institutional use such as parks are less damaging to the health of fresh water lakes than private free-market use. The city of Madison was well known for its four lakes even before it became an established city. For both the Native Americans and the settlers, the lakes and wetlands of the area contributed heavily to the sense of place experienced there. The area around Lake Wingra, the third smallest lake in the chain, has seen interesting developments throughout recorded history.

    Why Art Cannot be Taught: A Handbook for Art Students James Elkins Teaching Art 2 1: Histories Table of Contents Introduction iii Chapter 1: Histories 1 Chapter 2: Conversations 61 Chapter 3: Theories -- Chapter 4: Critiques -- Chapter 5: Suggestions -- Chapter 6: Conclusions -- Index Teaching Art 3 1: Histories Introduction This little book is about the way studio art is taught. It’s a manual or survival guide, intended for people who are directly involved in college-level art instruction—both teachers and students—rather than educators, administrators, or theorists of various sorts. I have not shirked sources in philosophy, history, and art education, but I am mostly interested in providing ways for teachers and students to begin to make sense of the experience of learning art. The opening chapter is about the history of art schools. It is meant to show that what we think of as the ordinary arrangement of departments, courses, and subjects has not always existed. One danger of not knowing the history of art instruction, it seems to me, is that what happens in art classes begins to appear at timeless and natural. History allows us to begin to see the kinds of choices we have made for ourselves, and the particular biases and possibilities of our kinds of instruction. The second chapter, “Conversations,” is a collection of questions about contemporary art schools and art departments. It could have been titled “Questions Commonly Raised in Art Schools” or “Leading Issues in Art Instruction.” The topics include the following: What is the relation between the art department and other departments in a college? Is the intellectual isolation of art schools significant? What should be included in the first year program or the core curriculum for art students? What kinds of art cannot be learned in an art department? These questions recur in many settings.
