CINTAS Foundation and MDC Museum of Art + Design Announce 2015-16 Fellowship ...Cintas Foundation
Miami, April 1, 2015 – The Miami Dade College (MDC) Museum of Art + Design and the CINTAS Foundation have announced the ongoing 2015-2016 CINTAS Knight Foundation Award in Visual Arts.
All submission materials must be received by Wednesday, July 1, 2015.
Marking its 51st year, the one-of-a-kind competition serves as a platform to promote and support visual artists, writers, architects and composers of Cuban descent from across the globe. The Collection has grown to be one of the largest bodies of Cuban art outside of Cuba and continues to grow each year with each new fellow.
“CINTAS Fellows are found represented in all major museums, as well as in important private and corporate collections throughout the world,” said CINTAS Foundation Board President Hortensia E. Sampedro.
In addition to supporting Cuban artists, many early in their careers, the CINTAS Foundation also maintains a growing collection of works by past awardees and other esteemed Cuban artists.
Past Visual Arts Fellows include:
Guillermo Calzadilla, in collaboration with the artist Jennifer Allora, produce community collaborations, instllatins, photograpy and sculptural work. Allora and Calzadilla represented the United States in the 2011 venice Biennale.
Carmen Herrera was one of Cuba’s first abstract painters. Herrera has exhibited widely in various solo and group shows, including the Outside Cuba exhibition. Herrera's pieces are in many museums and collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Tate Modern in London; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; El Museo del Barrio in New York; and Havana's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. She is the winner of a Creative Artists Public Service Award (CAPS) in New York.
The late Félix Gonzáles Torres represented the USA in the 52nd Venice Biennale. He also had solo exhibitions at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Museum in Progress in Vienna; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
The late Carlos Alfonso was represented in the Outside Cuba exhibition and the Cuba-USA: The First Generation traveling exhibition. He has also been the subject of several solo exhibitions in institutions such as the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in North Carolina, the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach and the Hal Bromm Gallery in New York.
Teresita Fernández has had solo exhibitions at Castello di Rivoli in Italy, the Masataka Hayakawa Gallery in Japan, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Deitch Projects in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami. She was also appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.

TRASH
Victor J. Jones
Certain works of art and architecture can be considered trash,
but when is trash art? Spolia and Arte Povera are two exam-
ples at either end of the historical spectrum where refuse is
transfigured into art. Constantine’s triumphal arch in Rome
uses reclaimed sculptural elements from previous buildings.
Luciano Fabro composed sculptures from commonplace
materials and used wares to create works such as Pavimento
(Tautologia). Whether from the spoils of war during Roman
antiquity or resistance to modernism and technology in Italy
during the 1960s, their practices crafted cultural relevance
from discarded matter.
In line with these instances is assemblage art, which has
had a hand in shaping art and architecture in Los Angeles
for almost a century. This essay travels into Watts, moving past
the familiar path of violence in this legendary part of Los
Angeles to revisit experiments with trash that began there in
the 1920s. The story reveals how today a grassroots nonprofit
arts organization, its director, and a handful of architects,
artists, and neighborhood residents are working together to
refurbish a row of dilapidated houses along East 107th Street.
Their collective efforts and participative production weave
art and architecture from detritus and the everyday to build
and sustain an alternative vision for this underserved commu-
nity. The trail of unexpected combinations and juxtapositions
begins at the end of a narrow street under a monument made
of rubbish—the Watts Towers.
While visiting Los Angeles for the first time (to attend the
opening of his 1963 Elvis exhibition at Ferus Gallery), Andy
Warhol bought a sixteen-millimeter sync-sound Bolex camera
and shot his partially improvised riff on the Hollywood
adventures of Tarzan.1 In Tarzan and Jane, Regained, Sort of…,
a free-spirited cast of artists and actors roams the tangled
web of freeways and unlikely destinations that replace the wil-
derness of a jungle. The Beverly Hills Hotel swimming pool
substitutes for a lagoon and the Watts Towers stand in for trees,
1 The purchase of the Swiss black box marked the beginning of a five-year
period during which Warhol directed and produced over sixty experimental
films. For more information about the films of Andy Warhol, consult Andy
Warhol’s Blow Job, by Roy Grundmann, and The Black Hole of the Camera:
The Films of Andy Warhol, by J.J. Murphy.

vines, and low-lying flora. Midway through the film, Tarzan rests
with a dog under one of the smaller structures of the Watts
Towers. The narrator whispers, “Jane has been changed into
a dog by the forces of evil.”
Ominous forces are not alien to Watts. The politics that
define and shape the place are murky. Infamously dark
tales of corruption, dubious business deals, discriminatory
policies, and corrosive public services have transformed
the once placid 220-acres of alfalfa fields and livestock farms
from a thriving mu.
The first large-scale elaboration of the City Beautiful occurred in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The planning of the exposition was directed by architect Daniel Burnham, who hired architects from the eastern United States, as well as the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to build large-scale Beaux-Arts monuments that were vaguely classical with uniform cornice height. The exposition displayed a model city of grand scale, known as the "White City", with modern transport systems and no poverty visible. The exposition is credited with resulting in the large-scale adoption of monumentalism for American architecture for the next 15 years. Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue is one expression of this initial phase.
I will be examining the nature and role of artworks sited in the public domain
Exploring different categories of public art: monumental sculpture; building features including murals and light projections; natural artworks such as land-form artworks and temporary public works including events
I will be touching on the political argument that art is force for economic and social regeneration
I will look at a genre of public art that as a result of such policies was parachuted into public space and that was sometimes no more than a token gesture, somewhat dumped in an uncongenial setting
I will consider vandalism as a manifestation of public criticism, or a spirited guerrila art intervention by the public
Furthermore I will consider definitions of public art as the site, that is rather than the current make up of the public which it invariably outlasts, and how this new genre public art aims to resolve the contradiction of public art by determining public as the space or time

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

16. Political Murals
In the mid-20th
Century, protest and political murals made a big impact on
both the movements that they represented and on mural making of the
time.
Mexico, Northern Ireland and the Berlin Wall all had examples of this type
of mural art. Much of this has disappeared. But the influences remain.

Begun in 1974 and completed over five summers, the Great Wall employed over
400 youth and their families from diverse social and economic backgrounds
working with artists, oral historians, ethnologists, scholars, and hundreds of
community members.
