As negentienjarige ryloper in Spanje beland Frank Westerman
toevallig in die dorpie Banyoles, waar ’n opgestopte
“Kalahari-Boesman”, slegs bekend as El Negro, uitgestal word. Sy
indrukke bly hom by – en wanneer hy dekades later weer van El Negro
lees, die keer in ’n Franse koerant, is dit die begin van ’n
ondersoeksreis wat belangrike vrae oor rasopvattings en die
Westerse beskawing na vore bring. Wie was hierdie naamlose man? Wat
se sy opgestopte “museumteenwoordigheid” oor Europese denke oor
slawerny, rassisme en kolonialisme – en bied hy slegs ’n spieel op
’n vergange tyd, of ook op die hede?

Arts education is regarded as an essential part of quality
education which not only enhances learners' social, personal and
intellectual development, but also their critical and creative
thinking skills. It provides learners with opportunities to work
collaboratively with each other and in so doing, to develop respect
for others' opinions and backgrounds. It is also a healthy outlet
for emotions and ideas that learners may not otherwise be able to
express. Creative arts education provides guidelines on how to
teach dance, drama, visual arts and music in a more animated,
vibrant and practical manner so as to allow each child to reach his
full potential. Based on the grades 7-9 curricula, Creative arts
education provides examples and activities to enable creative arts
teachers to put theory into practice. Besides sections for each art
form, a full chapter is devoted to inclusive education, learning
barriers and how best to accommodate the different learning styles
and needs of a diverse class of learners. Structural guidance
according to CAPS requirements is also included. Creative arts
education is aimed at all prospective and practising grades 7-9
teachers of visual arts, dance, music and drama.

basic principles of having a career in the field, the principles of
journalism and basic broadcast skills, and continuing with in-depth
practical aspects of radio and television news. A new dedicated
chapter on social media discusses sourcing news, approaching
witnesses, verifying information and subsequent changes in the
production flow. New chapters discuss the rise of mobile journalism
and podcasting, specifically looking at the kit involved, the
production process and how audio and broadcast journalism can be
incorporated.
A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series,
offering an examination of the changing relationships between the
West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture
Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology
that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to
the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood
and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear
in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented
in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key
themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the
texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of
the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly,
as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is
challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their
space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over
half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though
the book's unique selling point is the way it relates the modern
globalization of art to much longer cultural histories. As well as
the anthologized material, Art in Theory: The West in the World
contains: A general introduction discussing the scope of the
collection Introductory essays to each of the eight parts,
outlining the main themes in their historical contexts Individual
introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider
theoretical and political currents of their time Intended for a
wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on
courses in art and art history. It will also be useful to
specialists in the field of art history and readers with a general
interest in the culture and politics of the modern world.
Since being appointed the first female creative director of Dior in
2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri has infused the illustrious fashion brand
with a strong current of femi-nism. Her approach is at once
refreshing and needed, while still paying homage to the avant-garde
ethos that has been at the heart of the house since its founding by
Christian Dior in 1947. This beautifully produced volume presents
160 images by leading female photographers such as Nan Goldin,
Sarah Moon, Brigitte Niedermair, Coco Capitan, Vanina Sorrenti,
Julia Hetta, Katerina Jebb, Zoe Ghertner, and Bettina Rheims. The
women creators featured among these pages represent the breadth of
style and diversity upheld by the Maison Dior. Thought-provoking
quotes and poems from inspirational women Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Linda Nochlin, Claire Fontaine, Judy Chicago, and Tomaso Binga, to
name a few accompany the striking photographs. Showcasing Chiuri s
haute couture and ready-to-wear collections from 2017 to 2021, Her
Dior captures the creative director s innovations at the house
where, for the past five years, she s reclaimed the narrative
creating Dior fashions for women, by women.

Smile, lift up your Voices. Life is your Play. Wander around on the
stage of Life and Learn. LEARN is the fifth book by the secular
philosopher bill thompson after SMILE, VOICES, PLAY, WANDER, and
now LEARN. The book is for those who have had enough of Homo
Sapiens and are turning to Homo Conatus who is always waiting in
the wings of the greek theatres of words. Homo Conatus, wanting to
exist and enhance the SELF. Individuals needing a progressive
politics, a shared EARTH in order to flourish safely. This requires
DEPTH, an existential that and how. A basic understanding of
biology and cosmology on top of any old sapient understandings of
space and time machines. This new understanding that Homo Conatus
requires turns Freudianism upside down and microcosmic. Hysteria is
normal. Boring is normal. In between is Play. This new deal for the
children of the 21st Century has been researched by the Greeks
[Aristotle], Romans [Cicero], Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Leibniz,
and Newton [not as a mechanics but] as the complexity that
surpasses the understandings of the older Homo Sapiens because of
quantum electrodynamics or chemistry for short. Quantum Dynamic
Homeostasis. So Darwin and then secular universities around the
world for our teleonomic developments, new technologies. Any
chances of a maintaining a civil order whilst opening up to diverse
opinionsa has to change gear from sapiens to Conatus and embrace
the teleonomics of the modern synthesis [1958]. Not a lot of people
know enough about this yet, and Learn is the fifth a introduction
to Homo Conatusa by the secular philosopher bill thompson [who is
still trying to work out what it is like to be human]. And is that
not what you do on a daily basis?
Celebrated novelist, biographer and critic Peter Ackroyd paints a
vivid picture of one of the world's greatest cities in this
brilliant and original work, exploring how the city's many hues
have come to shape its history and identity. Think of the colours
of London and what do you imagine? The reds of open-top buses and
terracotta bricks? The grey smog of Victorian industry, Portland
stone and pigeons in Trafalgar square? Or the gradations of
yellows, violets and blues that shimmer on the Thames at sunset -
reflecting the incandescent light of a city that never truly goes
dark? We associate green with royal parks and the District Line;
gold with royal carriages, the Golden Lane Estate, and the tops of
monuments and cathedrals. Colours of London shows us that colour is
everywhere in the city, and each one holds myriad links to its
past. The colours of London have inspired artists (Whistler, Van
Gogh, Turner, Monet), designers (Harry Beck) and social reformers
(Charles Booth). And from the city's first origins, Ackroyd shows
how colour is always to be found at the heart of London's history,
from the blazing reds of the Great Fire of London to the blackouts
of the Blitz to the bold colours of royal celebrations and vibrant
street life. This beautifully written book examines the city's
fascinating relationship with colour, alongside specially
commissioned colourized photographs from Dynamichrome, which bring
a lost London back to life. London has been the main character in
Ackroyd's work ever since his first novel, and he has won countless
prizes in both fiction and non-fiction for his truly remarkable
body of work. Here, he channels a lifetime of knowledge of the
great city, writing with clarity and passion about the hues and
shades which have shaped London's journey through history into the
present day. A truly invaluable book for lovers of art, history,
photography or urban geography, this beautifully illustrated title
tells a rich and fascinating story of the history of this great and
ever-changing city.
