The document discusses various artistic traditions and materials used in Polynesian art and culture, including moai statues carved from volcanic rock on Easter Island, elaborate tattooing traditions, bark cloth textiles, slip-cast ceramics, and petroglyphs carved into rock surfaces. Art forms were closely tied to important aspects of social and religious life, including the veneration of ancestors and communication with spiritual beings. A wide variety of local natural materials like wood, stone, shells, and plant fibers were used in artistic and practical applications.
History of western art (Giotto, Masaccio)Annie Najib
Early Renaissance is the era which heralded the age of exploration. Digging into the Golden ages of Greek past civilization, this period added its own interpretation to art as well all other fields that went parallel to it. Early Renaissance provided the first steps towards the high mountain peak of the Renaissance period. Bridging the past values and rich culture of Greece to the neo classical period.
Giotto is propably the first artist to have embraced the change which was needed in art. That's why he is considered to be a "father of Western pictorial art".
Mannerism (from maniera, manner, or style), the artistic style prevailed in Italy from the end of the High Renaissance in the 1520s until Baroque style 1590. Early Mannerism (c.1520-35) is known for its "anti-classical" or "anti-Renaissance" style, which later evolved into High Mannerism (c.1535-1580), a more intricate, inward-looking, and academic style intended to cater to more sophisticated patrons. The term used for anti-classical indicates that the naturalism painting style is during the high renaissance departure to an artificial and exaggerated painting style, also known as Mannerism.

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.

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.

2. The Polynesians are a finely
built brown people organized
socially into the family and
the clan with the chiefs, of an
attributed divine birth, as
rulers.
Their religion consist of spirit
and ancestor worship, infused
through and through, as is
their social system, for the
social and religious are hardly
separable, with a highly
developed system of taboo
(tapu), which means
“prohibited” for sacred or
objectionable reasons.
Polynesian art is characteristically ornate, and often meant to
contain supernatural power.
Magic too plays a considerable part in the ceremonial, often highly
elaborate, which attends many of their everyday activities.
The art forms of such people are dependent upon the materials at
hand and the tools they have evolved; and they are inextricably
knit into the whole pattern of everyday life.
3. Moai are monolithic
human figures
carved from rock.
Though moai are
whole-body statues,
they are commonly
referred to as
"Easter Island
heads".
The moai were either carved by a distinguished class of
professional carvers who were comparable in status to high-
ranking members of other Polynesian craft guilds, or,
alternatively, by members of each clan. The oral histories show
that the Rano Raraku quarry was subdivided into different
territories for each clan.
4. The statues mediate
between chiefs and
gods, and between
the natural and
cosmic worlds.
Portrays ancestral
chiefs. They stand on
platform markings
burials for religious
ceremonies.
Completed statues were moved to ahu mostly on the
coast, then erected, sometimes with red stone cylinders
(pukao) on their heads. Moai must have been extremely
expensive to craft and transport; not only would the
actual carving of each statue require effort and
resources, but the finished product was then hauled to
its final location and erected.
5. Known for their large, broad noses
and strong chins, along with
rectangle-shaped ears and deep eye
slits, and have designs carved on
their backs and posteriors.
Deep elliptical eye sockets were
designed to hold coral eyes with
either black obsidian or red scoria
pupils.
Some moai had pukao
topknots or headresses on
their heads; these were
carved out of red scoria.
Some of the moai were
painted with maroon and
white paint
These were carved from tuff
(a compressed volcanic ash).
At the end of carving, the
builders would rub the statue
with pumice.
6. Polynesian tattooing was
the most intricate and
skillful tattooing in the
ancient world. This is the
only form of Polynesian
art that has been widely
adopted and imitated by
westerners.
Characterized by
elaborate geometrical
designs which were often
renewed, and embellished
throughout the life of the
individual until they
covered the entire body.
7. It was in Tonga and Samoa
that the Polynesian tattoo
developed into a highly
refined art. Priests who had
undergone a long period of
training and who followed
strictly prescribed rituals
and taboos during the
process executed the
tattooing. For the Tongon,
the tattoo carried profound
social and cultural
significance.
In ancient Samoa, tattooing
played an important role in
both religious ritual and
warfare. The tattoo artist
held a hereditary and highly
privileged position.
8. Traditional tattooing tools
consist of a comb with
needles carved from bone
or tortoise shell, fixed to a
wooden handle. The needles
are dipped into a pigment
made from the soot of
burnt candlenut mixed with
water or oil. The needles
are then placed on the skin
and the handle is tapped
with a second wooden stick,
causing the comb to pierce
the skin and insert the
pigment.
The name tatau comes
from the sound of this
tapping.
9. It was once a very
important textile
product in tropical areas
around the world.
Has a spiritual dimension
in that it can confer
sanctity upon an object
wrapped in it.
Traditionally used to
wrap the bodies of high-
ranking deceased chiefs.
Also used for domestic
purposes such as
blankets, room
dividers,floor mats, and
decorations
10. Made by stripping from
the bark from such
trees as the paper
mulberry that has been
softened through a
process of soaking and
beating.
The inner bast is
separated from the
outer bark, soaked and
beaten with wooded
beaters on wooden anvils,
stretched, dried, and
combined into bigger
pieces.
11. Ancestral Polynesian ceramics
represent a continuing pottery
tradition from the preceding
Eastern Lapita Phase. The
highly decorated ceramics of
the Early Eastern Lapita
cultural complex include a whole
range of shouldered jars and a
number of dish-like bowls not
found in the later plain wares
associated with Ancestral
Polynesian culture.
Ceramic cooking vessels had rather great value for at least
three reasons:
it was possible to cook larger quantities of food in a pottery vessel
than in a bamboo tube
It was possible also to mash the food with a wooden paddle
the flavor was judged to be superior to that of the same kind of
vegetable boiled in a metal container, an artifact then beginning to
replace pottery
12. Clay was one of the earliest materials used to produce ceramics. Ceramic
materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, weak in shearing and
tension
Slip-casting methods provide superior surface quality, density and uniformity
in casting high-purity ceramic raw materials over other ceramic casting
techniques.
A slip is a suspension of fine raw materials powder in a liquid such as water or
alcohol with small amounts of secondary materials such as dispersants,
surfactants and binders.
Early slip casting techniques employed a plaster block or flask mould.
The plaster mould draws water from the poured slip to compact and form the
casting at the mould surface. This forms a dense cast form removing
deleterious air gaps and minimizing shrinkage in the final sintering process.
13. Are pictogram and logogram images
created by removing part of a rock
surface by: incising, picking, carving,
and abrading
Easter Island has one of the richest
collections of petro glyphs in
Polynesia. About 1,000 sites with
more than 4,000 petroglyphs are
catalogued.
It is the general category of rock
art and Petro forms like patterns,
andshapes
Probably have deep cultural and
religious significance
Significance remains for their
descendants.
