Primary Art: It's The Process, Not The Product

Product Description

It's the Process, Not the Product. Primary Art is the newest book in award-winning author MaryAnn Kohl's art series, with more than 100 projects that offer amazing results to delight and teach children ages 5 to 8. A unique characteristic of Primary Art is that each art experience has three parts; it is introduced by a simple activity, progresses to a more experienced level, and finishes with a more intricate primary art experience. With this book, teachers, parents, after-school caregivers, and anyone working with children will encourage creativity, promote the process of art exploration, and appreciate the significance of the resulting art. Activities are sure to please, such as "Shimmer Paint," painting on aluminum foil with tempera and dish detergent, "Squeezy Batik," a batik resist using a flour-water mixture and watercolors, "Crinkle Scruncher," crinkled paper formed into sculptures, and "Jellie Dangles," ornaments made with gelatin! Key features of this book: Activities are presented from quick-and-easy to multifaceted. Three-part projects offer exploration of the qualities and properties of art materials, an introductory art experience, and a third project that builds upon the introduction. Everyday materials are listed to capture the imagination of primary children. Each individual's artwork will reflect individual creativity, not a pre-made sample or mock-up. All projects have icons that designate time requirements, adult involvement, materials, and experience level for artists. Ages 4-8

Intense, Insightful, and True.......2006-01-11

Thankfully, in its range of events, nations, and issues covered, the pictures inside go way beyond the front page. Many pictures convey a reality that people like to forget. How about a white man 'stabbing' a person of color with a flag pole -the US flag proudly flying? How about an undernourished Sudanese toddler collapsed on the desert sand with a vulture waiting for its chance in the background? The pictures depict many unanswered questions in a very intense and beautiful way. A very powerful book.

Heart-rendering depictions by devoted photojournalists.......2002-11-16

This book contains the best Pulitzer awarded pictures from its inception since 1942. Most of the photos are in B&W and you begin to realise how much more powerful and appropriate it is to be shot in this medium, as it strips away the epidermi of the scene and reveals the emotional flesh of the moment. Every photo is accompanied with a commentary about how it was made and the situation that exposed the determination, patience and grit of the photographer. And for each year that is chronicled, four thumbnail pics of other events in that year is depicted, to give a sense of the timeline of the situation.

Book Description

This book offers readers a dramatic visual chronicle of our times.

These are unforgettable moments in history-five Marines raising the US flag in

Iwo Jima in 1945, Babe Ruth's final salute to Yankee stadium in 1949,

Lee Harvey Oswald wincing in pain as he is shot in 1964, President Ronald Reagan

being tackled into his limousine after the 1982 assassination attempt. Captured by

the lenses of top photographers, these 98 Pulitzer Prize winning photographs-combined with photo-timelines-paint a dramatic and memorable montage of each year, from World War II to the last days of the 20th Century.

Etched with emotion, fury and passion, each photograph transports the reader back in time to cry with the victims or cheer with the heroes. A detailed narrative along with the timeline that pictures and notes the most significant events of each year fills in the historical background, the photographer's thoughts, the events leading up to the captured moment as well as the aperture opening and shutter speed.

All photographs are rendered in duotone or full color, producing

clear and crisp images.

To win a Pulitzer;it's got to be the best........2007-07-22

This wonderful book will be appreciated by anyone who has enjoyed the photography that has been such an important element of the news.This book covers each year between 1942 and 1999,so while it is good for the period covered;it's starting to get a little long in the tooth--6 years to be exact.
When one thinks of the humongous number of photographs taken on such an endless number of subjects,it is a major job to decide what is the best.One thing certain is, with so much to choose from,the winner should be a photograph that,no matter who looks at it,one should feel that it is undisputably great. Maybe it should also be such a photograph that is unrepeatable.
I have to admit, that is how I felt when I finished the book.
Since a main criteria seems to be that it is a newsworthy or timely photo; It would seem to me taat the photograph must catch such a moment.Many of the winners do just that.The Iwo Jima Flag on page 21,The Babe Bows Out on page 29,Oswald Shot,Live to the World on page 61,Saigon Execution on page 79,and others are great photographs of momentous importance;that had to be captured at the time. Many of the photographs in the second part of the book are not as momentous.A picture to win a Pulitzer should be immediately recognized by all, and one should have instant recall of it. As the years went on ,it seems the judges have altered their criteria and have chosen photographs that one doesn't recall at the time;and more importantly are not one-of a-kind momentous photographs.In other words they have chosen human interest,third world poverty and such things that can be found all over the world,and it matters little whether the photograph was taken at one time or another ,or in one place or another. This has increased in later years and the winners for the 90's are anything but exceptional. In 1979, the award went to photographs of a storm in Boston.There was nothing so unusual about such a storm or the photographs.There must have been thousands of similar ones taken.Then, when one looks at what won in 1986,scenes that exist by the thousands in any city;the award overlooks one of the greatest photographs,even though so disasterous,in the century. The January 1986 ,explosion of the space shuttle Challenger,73 seconds after takeoff,killing all astronauts on board.The pictures chosen for 1987 and 1986 pale by comparison.
However,the book does an excellent job of covering the Pulitzer awards for photographs;and in ith end whether I concur with their choices is a mute point.

jogging down the memory lane.......2001-11-09

This book captured all those essential moments in time, & the title said it all, really. It started from year 1942 & ended in 1999. Just like the movie, Pleasantville, it started with B&W pictures but as the technology gets better & more viable, colour pictures took over but still, never underestimated the raw drama & power of B&W pictures, though. The editing of this splendid coffee table book is quite clever by segregating it into various eras describing the technology & techniques available during that time (involving taking, printing, transmitting the pictures) & then, drawing a parellel with what's going on in this world right there, right then. I didn't appreciate the intensity of the pictures when I was younger but as I'm older now & sitting through reading thru this book, it brought back many memories, some good, some bad. And this book is also clever enough to provide time graph with more pertinent pictures to run us through the time passed. It's quite emotionally draining & disturbing at times to read that some photographers risked it all including their lives just to share the moments with the rest of the world, & how much the pictures affected some photographers here that they took away their own lives. All & all, this is a book that celebrates humanity, abhors at evil that humans would do to one another, reminds us all of the vulnerability against Mother Nature, the appreciation of simple things in life, & so forth. A very engaging book & worth reading. Highly recommended.

At last...an updated edition!.......2001-05-08

Considering the last edition of Moments: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs came out nearly 20 years ago, it's great that somebody saw fit to update this book to include the stupendous photos that have won the Pulitzer in the last 20 years, like Kevin Carter's photo of the starving Sudanese girl and Charles Porter's photograph from Oklahoma City. And the narratives about each photo, coupled with the technical details in the back, make this book still a cut above a mere exhibition of the winners.

But apparently they must have had some trouble tracking down copies of the older Pulitzer winners for this edition, because the reproduction on some of them is, well, kind of crappy. For a few of them, it looks like they literally took flatbed scans from the pages of the old book and used them in this one; in some of them, like the 1955 winner, you can actually see the pixel lines!

It's still a fantastic book on the whole...I guess I'm just a little disappointed that a book cataloging some of the most important news photographs of the 20th century has such mediocre reproduction in places.

A great book, and there are others, too.......2000-08-13

Hal's done a great job of behind-the-scenes reporting for this book. The photos are good, too. But if you want a look at a museum-quality catalogue of these photos, try going to Newseum.org and looking at the online store for their book, The Pulitzer Prize photos...

Life at the extremes.......2000-07-29

The Pulitzer Prize is one of the most well known, respected, and coveted awards. It is no doubt that the photos chosen to receive the Pulitzer recognize human nature at its most extreme- compassion and brutality. This book is a collection of the most famed and heartwrenching photographs over a spanning several decades. Included in the collection are pictures from the Vietnam War, Oklahoma City bombing, famine, rites of passage, parents standing next to the ocean which swept their son to sea, election of U.S. President Clinton, and other events of various magnitude. The pictures (both black/white and color) are printed on large heavy paper, which allows the true nature of the picture to project their true nature.

One of the best aspects of this book is the short narratives that accompany each picture. The narratives answer many questions about the picture, such as what the photographer was thinking, his intention with the photo, how he came across the situation, his feelings, and so forth. I found the narratives to be one of the most gratifying aspects of this book.

Book Description

The photographs of Moneta Sleet Jr. are internationally acclaimed collector’s items encapsulating special moments in the history of African-Americans around the world in the latter half of the 20th Century. Now, for the first time, these works that have been coveted by many are presented in one remarkable book. Many of these rare photographs have never been seen before!

Customer Reviews:

Mr. Sleet's work is enlightening. . .we reflect and remember.......1999-01-02

Mr. Sleet was a very special person whose very life defined the term humanitarian. He always had time to listen, and no matter how busy, he was there to help and encourage. He wanted people to know what it meant to be black in America. Many thousands of untitled black folks walked undaunted, hand-and-hand with pain & triumph in the civil rights movement. Mr. Sleet was on the front lines to capture those special and poignant moments. He was "on the right side" to help us reach for higher ideals....the ideals of justice, perserverance, peace, humaneness, forgiveness and understanding. I am privleged to have known Mr. Sleet and to have been friends with his son, Gregory when we were at Hampton University. Indeed, Gregory who is a federal judge and who we now proudly call Judge Sleet continues to represent his father's ideals. Moneta Sleet's work reminds us every day to listen, to care and to share. I hope that everyone will buy this book and more importantly share its work and meaning with all children. Lynnette C. Velasco, Children's book Author Zinzi: A Child's Journey to Self-fulfillment, Giving, and Caring.

Book Description

The defining moments of the tumultuous second half of the twentieth century captured in riveting photographs.

Collected here are the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs (updated to include winners through 2003)—pictures that influenced our thinking in times of crisis and sometimes stirred us to action. Among them are Joe Rosenthal's World War II photograph of the raising of the flag over Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, commemorating the more than 6,000 marines who died in the battle for that small Pacific island, and Robert Jackson's photograph of Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald, recalling the anguish of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The pictures document that we have lived in a violent age, showing the brutalities of war, racism, and despotism. But the Pulitzer photojournalists also recorded tender and compassionate moments, as in Brian Lanker's pictures of joyous parents at the birth of their child, or Scott Shaw's photographs of the rescue of a little girl trapped in a well. In coming centuries, these indelible images will inevitably be used to illustrate the triumphs and tragedies of our era. 85 duotone and 37 color photographs.

This is a book that should definitely be updated periodically, and it is. So go for one of the later books that have more of the photos. And enjoy, see some of the best photojournalism ever done.

Customer Reviews:

Adults only, self important, disappointing........2007-06-03

My personal disappointments are these:
1. There are no warnings on the outside that this book is NOT suitable for underage readers.
2. Many of the authors seem smug.
3. I expect better commentary from this group of otherwise seemingly talented authors. What do I mean by "better"? How about something that is really about the Harry Potter series instead of what these authors wish it to have been?
4. How sad is it when the cover artwork far exceeds the book?
I've read a lot of Harry Potter "fan" books. This is the only one that brought less than ten minutes of enjoyment. If you want this book, you can have mine.

Excellent book for adults who think HP is not "just for kids".......2007-03-25

I am a college professor of english literature and composition, but I am also a huge Harry Potter fan. "Mapping the World of Harry Potter" appealed to both sides of my reading pleasure: it gave great insight into the HP books as well as providing really well-written and though-provoking literary analysis and criticism. I couldn't put the book down, and as I read each subsequent essay, I was more and more intrigued and it gave me so much to think about. Really fantastic!

Finally An Adult Take on This Series.......2007-03-13

Finally I found it. A book worth reading, with views offered by real intellects on this series. This book has been a great read and well worth the money spent on it. I find it fun and enlightening. Some of the chapters seemed to drag on but overall they are very good. I found the chapter on Neville Longbottom great, since I completely share the sentiment felt for this character. A lot of thought provoking ideas in here. BE WARNED that there is a chapter on the sex symbol that has become of Severus Snape...this chapter and book are intended for adults. Overall really great!

Awesome!.......2007-03-11

I was really thrilled to get this book, seeing as it is a more serious treatment of the Harry Potter stories. Glad to see that other authors are taking Rowling seriously!

Disappointed but probably my fault.......2007-01-10

I was disappointed in this book, but I think it was probably my fault. I actually thought it was by Mercedes Lackey, not edited by Mercedes Lackey. And it was actually a collection of essays by various people. Boring essays. By people I don't read.

Some good some bad.......2007-09-19

An interesting overview of the cello, from history to instrument description and acoustics. If your main interest is history, though, this is not a great choice. I was disappointed with the chapters 4 - 6 by Margaret Campbell - overview of virtuosi from past centuries, the writing was very boring. The rest of the book is fun, though.

the making of a cello.......2003-01-31

I bought this book to give to a friend for Christmas. He had just dusted off his Cello after 20+ years and needed some refresher info. Unfortunately, this was not the book for him. This is a book of esays about the history of and how to make a cello. It gives great detail in that aspect. There isn't really any included music or actual methods.

A True Cello Lover's Book.......2002-10-14

This book is not an instruction on how to practice the cello but gives an historical perspective about how the cello was developed back in Europe to today's modern cello. It does however discuss the physics of playing easier and with less stress. It is for those who want to know everything about the violoncello not just playing it. It is informative and very interesting. So if you love the cello and want to know just about everything about it, get this book.

Too encyclopedic.......2001-10-16

Compact is good, yet I want some more depth on each topic.
This is a good looking paperback, so it's not bad for a cello
lover to own this on her bookshelf.

Book Description

This has been a notable upsurge of interest in the body, both in terms of empirical and theoretical study and debate. Contributions to this book move these debates forward by considering a range of bodies as active in the social and economic processes of policy-making, institutions, and employment. Contributors consider the body as a site of agency, resistance, and compromise and reflect upon the reluctance of sociology to engage with the body and notions of embodiment.

So you want to be a Screenwriter? Then read this book!
From the striking cover in this book shines. Elliot's style is at once friendly, knowledgeable, sharp and funny. He shoots from the hip and speaks from the heart.

A fat cheque is the best critique........2002-03-09

Please don't buy this book........2001-11-27

I am a British writer travelling through the States. I had actually bought this book right before I left the UK and didn't start reading it until I got over here. I was waiting for a bus to take me from Chicago to Detrait when I nearly missed my connection - so engrossing was this tome. The part on structuring your screenplay was really helpful. I really hope that no one else buys this - if I had the cash I'd buy all the copies and keep it out of other would-be screenwriters. The chapters on selling and marketing the script are really helpful. Oh yes, the CD ROM...

An excellent technical how-to source.......2001-11-13
