Term "Abstract Expressionism" was first used in Germany in connection with Rusian artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1919 (referencing the German Expressionists with their anti-figurative aesthetic), but later became more commonly associated with Post-WWII American Art.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

industrial production and political

Critics met Peggy Guggenheim's challenge
by naming the new movement
Abstract Expressionism
Jackson Pollock. Moon Woman. 1942.
11. JACKSON POLLOCK 1912 -
1956
" Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting. Cezanne did it, Picasso
did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all
to hell. Then there could be new paintings again." - Willem de Kooning
12. Jackson Pollock. Going West. c. 1934 -35. Thomas Hart Benton. The Arts of the West. 1932.
14. Hans Hofmann: "You don't work
from nature. You work by
heart. This is no good. You will
repeat yourself."
Jackson Pollock: "I am nature...Put
up or shut up. Your theories don't
interest me."
Hans Hofmann. The Third Hand. 1947.
15. Jackson Pollock. The Key. 1946.
Automatism…technique whereby the usual intellectual control of the artist over the brush is
foregone. The artist's aim is to allow the subconscious to create the artwork without rational
20. What's so innovative about Jackson Pollock's drip paintings?
Painted horizontally, on the floor
Used "everyday" paint and sticks
Instead of traditional artist's materials
Works intuitively with an automatist
technique
Considers space in a completely new way
Rejects Renaissance perspective
All-over composition
Painted gestures move across the picture
plane rather than into it
The painter becomes the paintings subject
"He transformed the obligation for social
relevance, a pervasive current between the
wars, into an unrelenting moral commitment
to a search for the self." - Fineberg
23. • "When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of
what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get
acquainted' period that I see what I have been
about. I have no fear of making changes,
destroying the image, etc., because the
painting has a life of its own. I try to let it
come through. It is only when I lose contact
with the painting that the result is a mess.
Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give
and take, and the painting comes out well." -
Jackson Pollock
24. Jackson Pollock. Autumn Rhythm (Number 30). 1950.
"My opinion is that new needs need new techniques…the modern painter cannot express his
age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio in the old forms of the Renaissance…the modern
artist is living in a mechanical age…working and expressing an inner world- in other words,
expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces." - Jackson Pollock
25.
26. August 8, 1949 issue of Life Magazine
• "The most powerful painter in
contemporary America and the only one
who promises to be a major one is a Gothic,
morbid, and extreme disciple of Picasso's
Cubism and Miró's post-Cubism, tinctured
also with Kandinsky and surrealist
inspiration. His name is Jackson Pollock." -
Clement Greenberg in 1947

29. de Kooning. Woman I. 1950-2.
Motherwell. At Five in the Afternoon. 1949.
Clyfford Still. 1947-R, No. 2. 1947.
"At a certain moment the canvas began to appear
to one American painter after another as an arena
in which to act- rather than a space in which to
reproduce, redesign, analyze or express an object,
actual or imagined. What was to go on the canvas
was not a picture but an event." - Harold
Rosenberg in The American Action Painters
30. Common characteristics of the New York School:
• Interest in Surrealist automatist techniques
• Influenced by the Mexican muralists

within and without
• Participated in Federal Art Project 1935 - 1943
• Insistence on the individual character in each of
their expressions
33. Hans Hofmann. Bachanale. 1946. Lee Krasner. Image Surfacing. c. 1945.
Highest praise given to Krasner by Hofmann: "this painting is so good you'd never know
it was done by a woman."
