Interactive classes: I show, I repeat, then you do it! Ask questions during the second half. 2. Class files: These consist of sample files to open in class, finished projects, videos, & extra tutorials. 3. Class notes: Scribble on them all you want. There’s a PDF duplicate in the class files. 4. After Class / Take Home Quizzes: Test your knowledge after the retreat! 5. Materials to cut, emboss, engrave, etc: Try out new materials. It’s good experience. 6. Goodies and prizes Please note: 1. All classes, workshops, demos, are optional. I will not be offended if you choose to skip any. 2. There are no grades! If at any time you feel stressed, then I am not doing MY job correctly! Don’t worry about trying to remember it all. After the retreat, compile any unanswered questions and I will be giving EVERY student a free hour phone class after the retreat! :) 3. There are differing degrees of KNK knowledge and experience amongst everyone. If you are new to the KNK, focus more on learning what’s POSSIBLE instead of worrying about understanding every item taught. Again, you have videos and class notes to use when you get home AND the free class. 4. While you may not find a topic related to what you do, be open minded! Something you try this weekend could become your next passion! OR you may find that something will actually apply to your current pas- sion, but in a different way. For example: a rhinestone pattern could be used as a masking stencil! 5. I strongly encourage interaction and cooperation amongst everyone! If you want to help out anyone needing assistance, jump right in! It’s a great opportunity for you to learn more while you teach someone else! That’s how I did it. : ) 6. You are seated next to your partner for the weekend and I’ve matched you up based on which particular cut- ter you own and your interests. If you brought a cutter, please share it with your partner. Work together on being successful at cutting! Two heads are better than one! And again, feel free to help others. 7. I will be showing Make-The-Cut, a software program that has a new plug-in for the Klic-N-Kut. If you are in- terested in purchasing MTC at the retreat, or afterwards, you will receive a free KNK blade of your choice! 8. I I need help with timing! If you notice that I have 5 minutes or less, please hold up the number of minutes left so that I’ll know I need to wrap things up! : ) And we won’t always stick to the printed schedule exactly. After all, this is supposed to be a retreat… not Klic-N-Kut boot camp! lol Activity: Let’s introduce ourselves! Here’s what we want to know! Your name? How you use your KNK or plan to? Job? Any other hobbies? Where do you live? Did you bring anything for the display table? ** ALL notes, tutorials, tables, charts, videos, and cutting files by Sandy McCauley are copyrighted and may not be shared, without permission, Extra tutorials written and shared by Judy Keating and Lynn Keniston are also copyrighted and may not be shared without their permission. 4 Class 1: ―Fun‖damentals! 1. Selecting Images With Fill turned on, you can click anywhere on an object to select it and when doing some kinds of editing, such as rhinestone tweaking, it makes a big difference. Also the object will look more like what you’re going to cut. With Fill turned off, you must click right on the line of the image to select it. That takes longer, but you really should check your images with fill turned off before cutting. There can be hidden objects behind filled images that you might miss. Thus get in the habit of working with both. When doing a marquee-select, make sure you start clearly outside the boundaries of the images you want to select. If you hold down the Crtl while selecting, you only have to touch the image.. It’s not necessary to fully en- close. But with Fill turned on, you must start the selecting outside of the image, not inside or you’ll select and start moving that first image you touch. Note that when you select more than one image, it will show you how many you selected in the top left cor- ner of the screen. Use Ctrl-A to select ALL images in your file. Turn on your Job Palette (View>Palette>Show Job Palette). Use Shift and click on a color to select all images of that color. Use Ctrl and click on a color to hide that color. Use Alt and click on a color to hide all OTHER colors but that one. Repeating either the Ctrl or Alt function will turn colors back on again. This is useful when you need to select some of the images of a particular color but not all of them. 2. Aligning Images There are 4 existing hot keys for aligning images to one another. T: Top B: Bottom L: Left R: Right Select a group of objects and then just press whichever key on the keyboard corresponds to the alignment you need. If you need the objects to align to one of them in particular, then after selecting, hold down the Shift key and click on that object to deselect it, then immediately click on it again to re-select it. This makes it the Last Se- lected Object and the one that all other objects will now align to. Another handy alignment shortcut is Alt-7. It will center selected objects to each other. 3. Ordering Images When individual images overlap, one will be on top of another. Use Ctrl-B to send an image to the back. Use Ctrl-F to bring an image to the front. Use Ctrl-M to reverse the order of two selected images Use Ctrl-U and Ctrl-L to move an image up or down one position respectively. 5 4. Duplicating Images There are three shortcuts for making copies of an image: Ctrl-D will make a copy and offset it from the original. Offset is changed under Options>Klic-N- Kut>General Preferences). For Rhinestone tweaking, make the offset small (e.g. 1 mm or 0.04in) Hold down Alt key and drag selected image.

  • The Trauma of the Flashback: Memory and Its Suffering (Negotiated Through Gerhard Richter’S Painting ‘September.’)
    A. Walker / PsyArt 18 (2014) 310–322 The trauma of the flashback: memory and its suffering (negotiated through Gerhard Richter’s painting ‘September.’) Anna Walker Research Arts and Media Plymouth University Abstract This paper explores the repetitive nature of the flashback and discusses Cathy Caruth’s notion of the flashback as a traumatic event from outside that has moved inside without any mediation. Freud writes about Nachtraglichkeit - or deferred action trauma constituted by the relationship between two-events or experiences of two competing impulses. Included is a discussion of Gerhard Richter’s painting ‘September’, a gesture towards the integration of the flashback. The intensity of the traumatic experience makes it difficult to remember but impossible to forget, and any form of recollection seem inadequate. Mediation in this instance becomes a tool of integration, a bodily or physical lens that brings fragments together into a coherent whole for filing away into the past. Trauma is an unfinished, un-integrated experience in search of a witness where the flashback functions as the haunting reminder. To cite as Walker. A., 2014, ‘The trauma of the flashback: memory and its suffering (negotiated through Gerhard Richter’s painting ‘September.’)’, PsyArt 18, pp. 310–322. o here, it seems, is what came about what happened to them, then came down to us. And this was an event, perhaps an interminable event. (Derrida, 71) Flashbacks are noisy, dangerous, painful intrusions from the past that arise from the tension between the desire to forget and the necessity of remembering. Time, ‘homogenous time’- as prescribed by Bergson (2004, p.

    Shane Lutzk (American, b. 1992) Large Black and White Vessel, 2019 Stoneware Collection Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, 2019.13 Acquired with funds provided by the Barton P. and Mary D. Cohen Art Acquisition Endowment of the JCCC Foundation Shane Lutzk develops his monumental ceramic vessels by integrating the precision and structural components found in diverse architecture. While traveling abroad, he was greatly influenced by the historical buildings in Kecskemet, Hungary. His sculptures create a spatial connection with the viewer in large works like Blue Dripped Vessel because of the undulating forms and anthropomorphic scale. In addition to the towering symmetrical sculptures that demonstrate the artist's wheel throwing capabilities, Lutzk builds wall installations and free-standing amorphous sculpture, and these smaller objects are also wheel thrown at first - they are created with cross sections of thrown clay. Whether they retain the wheel's geometry or they take on an elastic undulatin g character through manipulation, Lutzk's clay works convey a personal message: at the age of nine, Lutzk was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, and much of his work depicts his struggle with this disease. He wants to bring both the ramifications and the positive outcomes that come from diabetes to the public's attention. In this work, the blue concentric circles signify the international symbol for diabetes awareness. Lutzk earned his MFA at Arizona State University in 2017 and his BFA in ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute in 2014.

The Bald Eagle and Panda Virtual Conference is an annual event, first began in 2014, funded by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. The conference evolved through the collaboration between Iowa State University (ISU) in the U.S. and Henan Normal University (HNNU) in China. Since 2012, HNNU and ISU have worked together to establish an American Cultural Center on the HNNU campus that can enhance English language training, understanding American culture from a comparative perspective, and enriching curriculum across both universities for the creation of global citizens with wide perspectives and open minds. We seek to enhance critical thinking and open dialogue across the globe. The Bald Eagle and Panda (BEAP) Conference is preceded by a call for proposals asking students to submit a short essay (250-300 words) describing their intentions for a longer and more complete presentation and/or paper. All proposals were evaluated on the following: importance of the topic within American and Chinese cultural exchange, quality of writing, potential for effective display, and suitability/readiness for presentation. All students were given informative feedback on their proposals. Proposals were either accepted for presentation, accepted but not presented, or declined. Proposers in the first two categories were invited to submit a full paper that would be included in these proceedings and will enter them into the competition for prizes.
