The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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.

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.

2. Why should you get published?
It makes you (and your school, administrators, and
students) look good.
Your students’ parents will be very happy.
You can use your article as a conference handout.
You can frame it and hang it in your art room.
You can share your expertise with other art teachers.
You are demonstrating your professionalism.
You are instantly recognized as an author.
It can lead to other things (invitations to present, books).
31. Before writing, think about:
• A favorite lesson, idea, or issue.
• How you would express your idea to a fellow art teacher.
• What idea, artist, trend, or issue influenced your idea.
• The main ideas you’re trying to communicate.
• What problems a teacher might encounter.
When writing:
• Use a conversational style.
• Keep it to less than 800 words.
• Read it out loud.
• Have someone else read it.
• Copy your text and images separately onto a CD.
32. Photography Tips
Always have a camera with you.
SchoolArts Magazine requires high-quality digital photo-
graphs, at least 1 MB or 300 dpi.
• Photograph artwork on a neutral background.
• Leave space around the artwork/subject.
• Shoot straight down on 2D artwork.
• Use a curved background to shoot 3D artwork.
• Do not use flash; natural light is best.
• Do not try to photograph laminated artworks.
• Photographs of children should be unidentifiable.
• Make sure your digital camera is on the “Best” setting.
• Turn off the date mode on your camera.

Art & Activities
SchoolArts pays for articles, plus gives the authors extra copies of the issue, and a subscription to the print edition. SchoolArts has been published since 1901 for art teachers of students K-12. SchoolArts has studio lessons in each issue, in addition to departments such as Advocacy, Managing the Artroom, Meeting Individual Needs, Assessment, and more.
Detail
SchoolArts is based on universal themes. For example, this year the theme is Studio Thinking.
Most SA articles are from 500-800 words.
SA has studio lessons for early childhood, elementary, middle school, and high school every month.
SA Middle School Lesson
SA High School Lesson
SA All Levels
SA Managing the Art Room
SA Meeting Individual Needs
SchoolArts has an advocacy article in every issue.
SA Point of View
SA technology column, @r+, written by David Gran, an art teacher in Shanghai, and the author of the blog, The Carrot Revolution.
SA ClipCards need only one image and about 150-200 words. They are a good entry point for getting published.
SchoolArts and CRIZMAC team up to lead cultural travel opportunities.
http://www.artforsmallhands.com, a self-published book
Craig Hinshaw has published 2 books, Clay Connections and Animals, Houses, and People.
Writing Tips
Photography Tips: The main reason SA articles get declined is the low quality of the photographs of the artworks.
Shoot straight down on artwork; use a photo gray background when needed.
Shoot 3D work on a curved piece of paper, using natural light.
Shoot photos of students so their faces don’t show.
Take photos of the steps of a project if it will help explain it. This shows the steps of paper marbling with chalk and water.
Shoot as close as you can.
When you do show students’ faces, be sure to get written permission. Your school or district may already have one in use. SchoolArts has one on its website that you can print out and use.
