The Logic of the Liberal Arts accomplishes two ambitious goals at
once, and shows why they are inseparable: It explains the nature
and purpose of liberal learning - to produce critical thinkers and
well-rounded democratic citizens - and offers a probing, accessible
guided tour of critical thinking, emphasizing the analytic skills
that form the intellectual core of all higher education. Becoming
better critical thinkers doesn't mean we have to become
philosophers. As users of language, Scheuer explains, we're already
philosophers. Advanced critical thinking simply makes us better
philosophers - and better learners and citizens. In lucid and often
witty prose, Scheuer guides us through the moral and conceptual
heart of the liberal education ideal. In an era when colleges and
universities are struggling to convey the value of that ideal to
students and parents, The Logic of the Liberal Arts will be a
lasting aid to intellectual excellence, and a benchmark for
understanding what it means to be an educated citizen.
Do you know a teen that's been bitten by the acting bug? Here's
just the book they need! "Acting for Young Actors", aimed at teens
and tweens, lets kids hone their skills and develop their craft. It
begins with the five W's: Who am I? What do I want? Why do I want
it? Where am I? When does this event take place? Sounds basic - but
many young child actors are told simply to "get up there and act."
This book explores each of these questions, using helpful exercises
to allow young actors to work through problems of character
identity and motivation. With comprehensive chapters on
auditioning, rehearsal, and improvisation, plus a primer on how
young actors can break into film, theatre, and television, "Acting
for Young Actors" is every kid's ticket to the big time. It is
aimed at teens age 12-18, and is written in a full accessible
style.
Here Amy Newbold conveys nineteen artists' styles in a few deft
words, while Greg Newbold's chameleon-like artistry shows us Edgar
Degas' dinosaur ballerinas, Cassius Coolidge's dinosaurs playing Go
Fish, Hokusai's dinosaurs surfing a giant wave, and dinosaurs
smelling flowers in Mary Cassatt's garden; grazing in Grandma
Moses' green valley; peeking around Diego Rivera's orchids in Frida
Kahlo's portrait; tiptoeing through Baishi's inky bamboo; and
cavorting, stampeding or hiding in canvases by Henri Matisse, Andy
Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Franz Marc, Harrison Begay, Alma Thomas, Aaron
Douglas, Mark Rothko, Lois Mailou Jones, Marguerite Zorach and
Edvard Munch. And, of course, striking a Mona Lisa pose for
Leonardo da Vinci. As in If Picasso Painted a Snowman, our guide
for this tour is an engaging beret-topped hamster who is joined in
the final pages by a tiny dino artist. Thumbnail biographies of the
artists identify their iconic works, completing this tour of the
creative imagination.
