Clay is a special soil made of tiny rock bits that is easy to mold and holds its shape well. It was used historically to make pots, sculptures, and other objects, and remains a popular material for sculptures and children's crafts due to its moldability. There are two main types of clay - oil-based clay that looks shiny when dry, and water-based clay that dries quicker than oil-based clay. A simple activity describes how to make a caterpillar sculpture by rolling balls of alternating colors and joining them together.

Pictorialism, Photo-Secession, and Straight Photography were three major photographic movements between 1870-1930. Pictorialism aimed to express feelings and engage the senses through manipulated images focused on beauty rather than facts. The Photo-Secession movement was founded by Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 and sought to elevate photography to an art form while respecting its mechanical origins. Straight Photography emphasized photography's technical capabilities to sharply depict scenes in focus and detail without manipulation. Major figures included Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Imogen Cunningham who were part of the f/64 group that further developed Straight Photography.

It provides examples of key modernist photographers and artworks that pushed the boundaries of photographic representation, making artificial or fabricated images that depicted reality in unconventional ways, as the art form evolved during this period. Modernist movements discussed include Futurism, Vorticism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism, with examples such as Muybridge, Marey, Duchamp, Boccioni, Lewis, Tatlin, Lissitzky, Moholy-Nagy, Duchamp, Outerbridge, de Chirico, Bayer, Man Ray, and Dali.
This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a lino print using multiple colors. It explains that the process involves making successive cuts to the lino printing plate to reduce the areas that will print, and layering different colored inks on the plate to create an image where the lighter colors show through the darker ones. The instructions are divided into sections for the initial cutting, the first print, the second cutting, the second print, the third cutting, and the final print.
The early history of photography began with artists in the Renaissance seeking to capture realistic representations of nature which led to the development of tools like the camera obscura. In the 18th century, scientists discovered ways to capture shadows using light-sensitive chemicals, laying the foundations for photography. The first permanent photograph was created by Joseph Niépce in 1826, while Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, producing sharp metal plate images. Around the same time, William Henry Fox Talbot invented the calotype process using paper negatives, allowing images to be reproduced. Early photographers focused on portraiture and landscapes but their subjects expanded over time.
This document outlines an art project that explores past, present, and future techniques through a journey theme. It involves taking a sketchbook on a journey around the school, making observational drawings. Students will also complete mono-prints, take photos on their journey home, and draw from those photos. The project then introduces artists like Matisse, Hartill, Heckel, and Rauschenberg and their techniques like cut paper collages, embossing, linocuts, and collage. Students will experiment with these techniques, creating their own cut paper journey, relief prints, single and multicolor linocuts, and collages with lino prints. They will combine their best works in a final grid piece.
Photography began in the early 19th century when scientists discovered ways to capture images through chemical reactions on light-sensitive surfaces. The first permanent photograph was made in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in France, using a primitive camera to expose bitumen coated plates to light. By the late 1830s and 1840s, improvements in photographic processes and equipment allowed photography to become available for widespread experimentation and use.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

21. Taking a line for a walk!
The artist Paul Klee spoke of drawing as “taking a line for a walk”—so start
off in one corner of your page, and take your pencil for a stroll across it.
Start off slow and meandering, then add some detours. Experiment with
the weight of the line, pressing heavily and lightly. Do some zigzag sprints,
flicking skips, and twirling spirals. See how many different marks you can
create with a single pencil.

25. Step 2: Drawing an eye, nose, mouth and ear.
Learning objectives. By the end of the lesson you will:
Understand how to create a realistic depiction of the features of a face.
Apply the formal elements as appropriate in creating the features.
Learning outcomes.
By the end of the session you will have an accurate drawing of an eye, nose,
mouth showing good use of tone.
Glossary:
The formal elements: Line, Tone, Colour, Pattern, Texture, Shape, Form
Cross hatching: At least two layers of parallel lines. The lines in each
layer travel in different directions.
Stippling: Areas of tone created by dots or specks.
Tone: The degree of lightness or darkness of an area
Burnishing: Heavy layers of pencil creating a shiny surface
27. Add tone to the iris
and pupil working
from the centre
outwards.
Create a shadow
beneath the upper
lid to show the eye
sits behind it.
Add the lower
lashes. Like the
top eyelashes, the
centre ones curve
down and you go
either left or right
so you start to see
the curve on the
hair
The eyelashes are
added, take a look at
the angle that they
are drawn, they are
not drawn straight
down,except for the
ones in the centre.
29. 1. Draw a straight line to indicate where the lips should be. Curve the line to
show an expression.
2. Draw a circle in the middle with a slight bit of the circle below the line.
3. Draw two circles / ovals on the side of and slightly above the first circle and
two below.
4. Follow the shape of the circles as you draw the shape of the lips. NB the lips
do not always go to the end of the line.
30. The highlighted area in orange
shows an area of the lower lip that
sometimes is a little darker, or gets
a little more shadow. This is where
the lower lip especially curves in.
The closer to the edges of the
mouth, the darker (or, in shadow)
the bottom lip gets. But, remember -
the bottom lip is usually lighter than
the top lip because it is facing
upwards, and gets more light cast
upon it.
The purple highlighted areas in the
illustration above show a particular
shadowed area of the upper lip. As
a general rule, all of the upper lip is
darker (compared to the lower lip)
but the area highlighted in purple is
especially darker. If you look at the
original mouth drawing above, you'll
see the particular shadow of this
area—like the lips go "in" there
especially. This is where the lips
curve "in" to the inside of the mouth.
The highlighted area in green
shows shows a shadowed area
around the mouth that should not
be forgotten. This shading indicates
the structure of the face around the
mouth. The mouth isn't just plopped
on the face, it is a three-
dimensional thing, with surrounding
muscles and structure. Usually,
there will be some shading (subtle,
but there) at under the lower lip,
and around the corners of the
mouth.
32. Draw the shape the
nostrils make at the
base of the nose. The
size will depend on your
‘model’
Complete the nostrils by
adding lines (like brackets)
around them. The curve in
the middle shows where
the tip of the nose is.
34. Side view
Draw a
rectangle
that is twice
as high as it
is broad.
This will help
us to keep
the ear in the
right
proportions.
Start at the left side, close to
the top, then curve upwards to
touch the rectangle's top in the
middle, and curve down again
afterwards, touching the
rectangles right side. In a long
curve it then moves towards
the bottom, where the small
earlobe is finally ending its
shape.
Outline the ear's rim, by
drawing a parallel line along its
side.
Some ears have a small bump
in their upper corner here.
The rim's shape continues and
curves into the ear's inner part.
Some ears are very flat inside,
but the average ear is quite a
sculpture. The shape inside of
the ear looks like a curved
version of the letter Y.
Start to draw this with a line
that begins at the left top and
curves down to the bottom of
the tragus, curving around the
obstacle in its way.
In some ears
you can still
see a bit of
the ear hole;
in other ears
it is entirely
hidden
behind the
tragus.
In case you want to shade your
ear, draw the darkest values
into the places where the least
light is falling on, and leave the
brightest places entirely white.
Shading will strengthen the
three-dimensional depth of your
picture.
35. Front view
The basic ear shape is
almost the same as in the
side view; the difference is
just that the 1x2
proportions no longer
apply. Draw the ear much
narrower instead. It is
probably three times as
high as it is wide now. Also
take care to make all the
curves much flatter.
Draw in the beginning of
the ear's upper rim. Make
it fairly thick.
The rest of the ear's rim
lies in the back and
appears to be a bit thinner.
Note how its line starts
from behind the line for the
front rim.
Also add the tragus at the
side.
Here is another
special thing about
the front view.
The inner ear-
structure can be
seen bulging out of
the ear in some
cases. Here it is
overlapping the
ear's rim a little bit.
Outline the
inner edge
of this part.
Then add a
little dent at
its top, and
your ear is
finished
36. Step 3: Proportions of the face
Learning objectives. By the end of the lesson you will:
Understand how to plan a drawing of the face making sure that all the features are
in proportion.
Apply the formal elements as appropriate when creating the features and use tone
to give the illusion that the features are three dimensional.
Learning outcomes.
By the end of the session you will be have an accurate portrait drawing.
Glossary:
Proportion: Proportion is the relative size and scale of various
elements in a work of art. It describes the relationship
between objects or parts of a whole.
The formal elements: Line, Tone, Colour, Pattern, Texture, Shape, Form
Cross hatching: At least two layers of parallel lines. The lines in each
layer travel in different directions.
Stippling: Areas of tone created by dots or specks.
Tone: The degree of lightness or darkness of an area
Burnishing: Heavy layers of pencil creating a shiny surface

Editor's Notes
Use the ‘First ceramics lesson’ in the Autumn 2011 folder in the project folder in Art Resources (MLE).
The aim is to allow students to interact with the clay and make a thumb pot. If these can be kept moist students can impress the objects they bring in later on to see how effecive they are.
Understanding can be assessed using the clay jeopardy game. (same folder as the one mentionned above.)
This may take two lessons to do it really well. You could start the second lesson by students demonstrating the technique to the rest of the class.
Play the clay jeopardy for AfL. Or test them on the words in the glossary.

If you feel you have too many groups to do two slabs just do one. You could try this idea from art attack. However, because of the nature of it it couldn’t then be part of the permanent wall display outside: http://teapot3.multiply.com/video/item/1/art_attack-_making_clay_faces
