The themes, Environment, Inner Worlds, Identity, What Is Art?, and Designing Spaces and Places, include artists' biographies; style characteristics; discussion questions; vocabulary; student activities; and, in some cases, teacher lessons and local student artwork. The ArtsNet Minnesota project is sponsored by a grant from the Blandin Foundation. [ Choose a theme from the boxes below.]

Grow Your Own... Synthetic biology might change our understanding of design and nature, but it could also change the cultural and biological ecosystems we are part of. Synthetic biologists are engineering organisms, but they are also designing and agreeing the standards and the legal and commercial frameworks that underpin a new technology. Biology doesn't adhere to laws or country borders. Today, patented genetically modified organisms are already grown in many countries. Their tendency to spread or evolve has to be managed using laws and regulations. Science and society together have to decide whether we need different rules for synthetic biology: from what can be owned to what can be put into the environment, to what new laws might be needed to control biology and human interests in it. The artists and designers here use a wide range of approaches to open up questions about these interactions between science and society.

color theory Color Space Fundamentals Computer monitors emit color as RGB (red, green, blue) light. Although all colors of the visible spectrum can be produced by merging red, green and blue light, monitors are capable of displaying only a limited gamut (i.e., range) of the visible spectrum. Whereas monitors emit light, inked paper absorbs or reflects specific wavelengths. Cyan, magenta and yellow pigments serve as filters, subtracting varying degrees of red, green and blue from white light to produce a selective gamut of spectral colors. Refer to the Instructions for Authors for your journal to determine if files should be supplied as RGB or CMYK. It can sometimes be difficult to visualize the reason for color shift in color space conversion. Most desktop scanners, digital cameras, and video capture systems save files as RGB and the conversion of RGB files to CMYK can be done in many ways ( see how to convert RGB to CMYK ).

The National Gallery, London Glass Sculptures Of Deadly Viruses and Bacteria By Like Jerram | Rederr January 10, 2014 Glass Sculptures Of Deadly Viruses Made By Luke Jerram Ebola Artwork By Luke Jerram - Website - Facebook - Twitter Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a viral haemorrhagic fever and one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind. One of the most complex glass artworks Jerram’s team have created to date, the sculpture was commissioned for Artis Royal Zoo, Amsterdam, Holland. Giardia Giardia is a parasite that can infect the intestines and cause ‘giardiasis’ which can lead to sudden-onset (acute) or persistent (chronic) diarrhoea. Created 20,000 x larger than the actual parasite, the artwork has been made for Artis Royal Zoo in Amsterdam. E. coli This is one of the largest and most fragile of Jerram’s sculptures. Ev71 – Hand Foot and Mouth Disease Enterovirus 71 (EV71), one of the major causative agents for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). This virus is a member of the enterovirus species A. The artwork was commissioned by a scientific research centre in 2012. Amoeba

Some researchers report that humans can distinguish about 16 million different colors. But what's more interesting is that most of the colors we see around us and all the colors we see on a TV or computer monitor can be created from just three different colored lights. How are all the colors made from just three different colors? Simply by combining the light in different ratios. Additive Colors Colored lights are mixed using additive color properties. The additive primary colors are red, green and blue (RGB). By changing the brightness of each of the three primary colors by varying degrees, you can make a wide range of colors. Computer Monitors and Televisions Computer monitors and televisions are an application of additive color. Animated RGB Color Cube Here is an animated RGB color cube. Another Way to Make Colors Subtractive Color Mixing The subtractive primary colors are cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY). But how do we print something that's red?
