A former corporate exec launches children?s art-education franchise with 40
2008-01-01 08:11:00 Tony Capobianco of Tampa, Florida, just spent the last three days dressed as a pirate. And he has seven more days to go of eye-patch wearing and numerous growls of ?Aaargh, shiver me timbers, me matie!?Capobianco, 43, is enjoying running his first-ever pirate-themed art camp for children eager to draw, sculpt, mold, paint, throw glitter around and laugh a lot. Although glitter and clay weren?t tools of the trade at his previous IBM and AT&T jobs, he has taken to his new position as an Abrakadoodle franchise owner and education director like a pirate takes to gold doubloons.A former manager of customer service and implementation, Capobianco, found himself laid off in May 2005 after 18 years in corporate America. Yet, he?s not shedding any tears about it; in fact, quite the opposite. ?I get up every morning now with a smile ? and sometimes glue ? on my face,? he says. ?I?ve gone from wingtips to sneakers, and I?m loving every minute of it.?Capobianco is one of a growing number of laid...

Art education
2007-11-04 16:46:00 One of the arguments for art education in the schools has long centered on perceived educational benefits in other subjects.

BioArt and art education?s history : new subjects to browse
2007-03-09 11:43:01 We’ve just added some new headings to our browse structure, focussing on BioArt and the history of art and design education. BioArt (Wikipedia has a helpful definition) is an emerging field of study, if not practice where visual art rubs against body modification and natural sciences. The body becomes both subject and medium, as art is created in the laboratory and the surgery. Meanwhile research into the way art and design was taught can yield some valuable insights into the society, pedagogy and art produced at certain moments in time, from John Ruskin’s teaching collection at Oxford University (where students copied ‘perfect’ examples of both nature and art) through the manufacturing focus of industrial Britain’s trade colleges (where teaching collections as diverse as shoes, fabrics and printing blocks were built up to train local apprentices) to the pioneering modernism of the Bauhaus. |
