100 Illustrated Horror Film Posters: Part 1 For some, Halloween means costume parties and drunken debauchery. That’s never really been my style. Personally, I like to spend my Halloween evenings eating candy and watching scary movies. This Halloween season has had me reminiscing of the brilliant horror and sci-fi movie posters of years past. Since there were so many amazing posters to showcase, I have split this post into two parts. Creature from Black Lake The Kindred Fright Night Tarantula!

Footage revealed that some parrots have a near-perfect sense of rhythm; swaying their bodies, bobbing their heads and tapping their feet in time to a beat. Previously, it was thought that only humans had the ability to groove. The researchers believe the findings could help shed light on how our relationship with music and the capacity to dance came about. One bird, Snowball, a sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita eleanora), came to the researchers' attention after YouTube footage suggested he might have a certain prowess for dance - especially when listening to Everybody by the Backstreet Boys. To test Snowball's skill, the scientists filmed him as they played his favourite song at various tempos. "It was really surprising that he had this flexibility." Song and dance

Fractal Art: Complex and Beautiful Color Inspiration by COLOURlovers Even though I hate math... I love what can be created using geometric patterns. While there seems to be many different styles of art that fit under the umbrella name of a Fractal, what I found when I went looking for more information about them was a treasure trove of amazing art. Make sure to click the images below to see the entire fractals in all their wonder. Thanks to manekineko for starting the conversation in the forum that inspired this post. A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. 20 Beautiful Fractal Artworks Fractal by mailart-org Fractal by mailart-org Fractal by Lynn (Gracie's mom) Fractal by mailart-org Fractal by mailart-org Fractal by mailart-org Fractal by mick y Fractal by Lynn (Gracie's mom) Fractal by karl_eschenbach Fractal by exper Fractal by exper Fractal by mick y Fractal by carlitosway85 Fractal by barabeke exper
Create Multimedia History Presentations With Digital Artifacts The National Archives Experience Digital Vaults is one of the resources that I almost always share in my workshop on teaching history with technology primary sources. The Digital Vaults offers three good tools that students and teachers can use to create content using images and documents from the National Archives. The National Archives Digital Vault poster and video creation tools allow students to drag and drop digital artifacts into a poster or video. The National Archives provides images, documents, and audio in an easy to use editor. When making a poster students can combine multiple images, change background colors, and create captions to make collages of digital artifacts. Creating a video is just as easy as creating a poster in the Digital Vaults. Applications for Education The Pathways tool in the Digital Vaults can be used to create small quizzes that ask students to identify the connections between two or more images or documents.
