How to use Google Forms in the Art Room If you are looking for ways to make your art room digitized and organized in the Cloud with ‘Google Drive’, Google Forms is a great part of the Google Drive family. The program is a lot like “Survey Monkey,” allowing you to ask specific questions and get answers aggregated into one common place. The possibilities with Google Forms are endless, from students using it to enter in Artsonia artist statements to creating an end of the year evaluation of your course. This year my colleague and I decided to team up and create a 5th through 8th grade art club. Google Forms is part of the Google family, which allows you to create a form or survey or test for students to fill out. Check out this video tutorial I made showing how I create, share, and use Google Forms in my Art Room: Have you used Google Forms with your students or colleagues before? What ways could you use Google Forms to collect information quickly?

The Design Encyclopedia 15 descriptive design words you should know Designers tend to pride themselves on being “visually oriented” — and rightly so. That need not mean that you’re clumsy with words, however. Being able to verbally describe your work to a client throughout the feedback process is an indispensable skill. Contour Picasso’s famous contour drawing of Igor Stravinsky Basically another word for outline, but with a slightly more nuanced meaning. Curvilinear Curvilinear patterns on a Gothic cathedral window Where a lay person says “curvy” or perhaps “flowy,” an artist says curvilinear — a reference to a shape bounded by curved rather than straight lines. Flush An example of text that is flush left, ragged right No, not as in “Royal” or “the toilet.” Gestalt This image illustrates a principle of gestalt psychology: we perceive a whole (a cube seen through holes) rather than a group of parts (8 circles with Y shapes in them). Kerned Three different kernings of the word “WAR” in Clarendon typeface Kerning is key for typography lovers. Monochrome Motif Muted

iPad Art Room Speak Up Archives HELLO (AND, WELL, GOODBYE)After nearly seven years of blogging, Speak Up has ceased publication. While this may not be a remarkable amount of time in the world of print and online publishing, the intensity with which we — founders, authors and readers alike — undertook it made it seem as it had been decades. For a thorough description on the reasons to close Speak Up, you may read this post, so as not to take much more space here. To the right you will see all of our categories with a brief description of what you may find. Below are some highlights from our time spent blogging. We hope all this helps maintain the legacy of Speak Up frozen in digital time and that it may be of some use to passersby.

Il database con più di 10.000 filmati senza copyright Per registi, designer, fotografi e diciamo qualsiasi tipo di creativo, il dominio pubblico è una risorsa importante, inclusi materiali esenti da copyright che possono essere usati e remixati per creare nuova arte. I cavilli legali del copyright e del dominio pubblico, ad ogni modo, possono essere scoraggianti, e ottenere specifici filmati, per esempio, dalle organizzazioni come il US National Archive può essere un’esperienza noiosa e frustrante. Oggi, il mercato video royalty-free Pond5 lancia il Public Domain Project per risolvere questo problema, aprendo al pubblico un massiccio tesoro completamente organizzato di circa 80.000 contenuti privi di copyright come spezzoni video, foto, registrazioni audio e modelli 3D. Dal momento che esistono solo in forma fisica all’interno dei National Archives, circa 5.000 filmati sono stati pressocché inaccessibili per la maggior parte dei registi. Di seguito, potete guardare alcune immagini royalty-free, cortesia del Public Domain Project:
