The Japanese Gutai group formed in 1954 under the leadership of Jiro Yoshihara and was influenced by American abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock. They focused on an action-oriented and interactive approach to art making using materials directly without disguising them. Notable works included Murakami's paper screen performance and Shiraga's mud body painting. Their innovative outdoor exhibitions in 1955-1956 featured temporary participatory works that were destroyed afterward, anticipating later performance art genres.

Exploring Chaos and Certainty: The Enduring Vision of Makoto HatoriMakoto Hatori
In 1969, I presented a conceptual work that incorporated the externality of "sand" as a non-self-contained material. The exhibition embraced "sand" as a medium, intentionally inviting randomness and disrupting the delicate balance between things that are inherently difficult to define. This artistic exploration reflects the recognition of an emerging unknown externality, embodying the age of chaos. This was a pivotal moment that shaped my subsequent creative philosophy. During this period, Makoto Hatori's sensibility gravitated toward traditional Japanese ceramics.
Artist Biography and Creative Philosophy of Makoto HatoriMakoto Hatori
Makoto Hatori learned about Japanese ceramics, including designs that were created without human intervention and the natural glazing process, while working as an apprentice under a master potter of traditional ceramics in 1968 and 1974. Since then, he has continuously strived to recognize the coexistence of subjects and objects and follow the natural flow of things at every opportunity. His approach explores the relationship between nature and human beings, and his works are founded on a professional ethic and aesthetic that place value on spirituality and contemplate a shared identity with nature. Hatori's philosophy is rooted in the expressive value of the body itself, which is remembered and in motion. His approach is influenced by Japanese traditional ceramics discourse, particularly the concept of "kata" or form. He views the "work" as a "material" a "ready-made product," transformed through a change in perspective, and embraces the unknown effects that can result from this approach. Ultimately, Hatori's approach illuminates the possibilities of spurring diverse perspectives.
Tadanori Yokoo: Clash of Reality & IdealsNina Chan
For this project, I had to research a graphic designer, write a biography, and design a book that reflects the work of the designer. The problem was not from writing about the designer, but compiling all of the information and transferring the text into the book. Throughout the process of designing the book, I felt confined to the four-column grid and a strict structural layout. It was difficult pushing past the standard book layout and coming up with a creative concept. I found that sketching out the entire book by hand and having a rough, but visual representation, of the final product is very beneficial.
Tadanori Yokoo is the designer I was assigned to research. His work is incredibly inspiring and very autobiographical. His work does not follow the norm nor is it simplistic. His style of designing and juxtaposing images and words contrast my own personal style aesthetic, which is clean, orderly, and simplistic. However, after being completely immersed in his work, ideology, and philosophy, I’ve learned to break out of what I’m accustomed to and tried something different. Yokoo is a complex and utterly unique designer. I wouldn’t want to reflect a strict, cold, and minimalistic style in the book especially since he’s the complete opposite.
I attempted to add variety to the pages, while keeping the four-column grid guideline, by cropping out some of his images from his artwork and blowing them up so they create an interesting visual interest on the page. I also took works that reflected the chapter and cropped some of his posters to create a border across the pages. Yokoo is a very colorful and saturated character, and I wanted to reflect that throughout the book by using bright colors.
Since he’s a modern designer, the type faces I used throughout the book are: Helvetica Neue for title pages and subheads, Century Gothic for chapter openers, and Baskerville for the body of text. Initially, I wanted every page to have a colorful background, but I found it daunting to the eye because it will affect the readability of the text, so I opted for the standard white background with black text.
Overall, this project was educational, stimulating, and fun. I learned a lot about Tadanori Yokoo, his time period, and grew a fascination for psychedelic art. I was able to challenge myself to break out of what I’m used to and attempt a style that’s new and different. I believe my end product is successful and something I am proud of.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

focus on an action-oriented
approach to art making

7. Global Expressionism
In 1956 Jiro Yoshiharo published
the “Gutai Manifesto” in which he
dismissed all past art as “fakes”
and “counterfeit objects
“With our present awareness, the arts
we have known up to now appear to us
in general to be fakes fitted out with a
tremendous affectation. Let us take
leave of these piles of counterfeit
objects on the altars, in the palaces, in
the salons and the antique shops. ”
Jiro Yoshiharo, “Gutai Manifesto,” 1956

8. Global Expressionism
This is because most art disguises
the materials from which it is made
““These objects are in disguise and
their materials such as paint, pieces of
cloth, metals, clay or marble are
loaded with false significance by
human hand and by way of fraud, so
that, instead of just presenting their
own material, they take on the
appearance of something else.”
Jiro Yoshiharo, “Gutai Manifesto,” 1956

9. Global Expressionism
The Gutai group emphasized a
direct encounter and interaction
with materials:
“Gutai art does not change the material
but brings it to life. Gutai art does not
falsify the material. In Gutai art the
human spirit and the the material reach
out their hands to each other, even
though they are otherwise opposed to
each other. The material is not
absorbed by the spirit. The spirit does
not force the material into submission.
If one leaves the material as it is,
presenting it just as material, then it
starts to tell us something and speaks
with a mighty voice. Keeping the life of
the material alive also means bringing Joro Yoshiharo
the spirit alive, and lifting up the spirit Image source: http://www.zerofoundation.de/friends.html
means leading the material up to the
height of the spirit.”
Jiro Yoshiharo, “Gutai Manifesto,” 1956

The emphasis on human interaction
with materials led to a highly
performative approach to art
