German Collages

Drawn led me to these collages at Reflektorium. Check out the portfolios of the two artists on the right.

The Met

Oh how I love a good museum website. No surprise, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is superior, too, in it’s website. A few highlights:

• The Art History Timeline. Each time period includes a side bar of links to a good many special exhibitions from the Met. A pull down bar also give the option of “Related Timeline Content”. This can entertain a curious mind for hours! Oh, and it’s a good resource for students too.
• Cleanest, easiest to use museum website I have yet to find.
• Educators may use unaltered images for FREE, without even asking permission! (think power point!) Most museums require an email and permission to be granted first. See Terms of Conditions for details.
• This Romaire Beardon special exhibition.
• Gotta visit Juan de Pareja.
• Fairfield Porter is hard to find online.

Aaron Jasinski Portfolio

Wow! His navigation is super cool- pick a color!

One of my early favorite Drawn finds.

The Box Doodle Project

Okay, this is one of the coolest sites I've come across in a while: The Box Doodle Project. My high school art club attempted this. I now store "Blicks" (our favorite white erasers from Dick Blick art supplies) in the "mouth" of my box doodle.

Paste (remember the nice smell?)

I'm terribly interested to read and hear Paste magazine's recommendations.

I read in the print version of Relevant magazine that the magazine founder is a believer, desiring to recommend plain good music, media, etc. by putting out mix CDs and DVDs of the latest quality indie music and other eclectic quality stuff. I'm very excited to have spotted it in a friend's mailbox, so that once that wrapper is off of it, maybe I can check it out myself. Evidently they've had a hand in Arcade Fire 's success. So they get some good taste points from me.
