David Smith was foremost among the welder-sculptors who came to prominence in the U.S. after World War II. Following the example set by Julio González and Pablo Picasso, who created welded-steel sculptures as early as 1928, the Americans constructed their work directly out of iron and steel sheets and wires rather than employing the traditional method of casting. In the 1930s and 1940s, influenced by Surrealism and Constructivism , Smith created hybrid figural sculptures and dramatic mise-en-scènes. During the 1950s he began to work in stylistic series ranging from the complicated abstract drawings-in-space of the Agricolas to the anthropomorphic and totemic sculptures incorporating machine parts such as the Sentinels and Tank Totems. In the later part of the decade and into the 1960s his work became more volumetric and monolithic.

brainstorming

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:54:00 -0400

Brainstorming is a popular tool that helps you generate creative solutions to a problem.

It is particularly useful when you want to break out of stale, established patterns of thinking, so that you can develop new ways of looking at things. It also helps you overcome many of the issues that can make group problem-solving a sterile and unsatisfactory process.

Used with your team, it helps you bring the diverse experience of all team members into play during problem solving. This increases the richness of ideas explored, meaning that you can find better solutions to the problems you face.

It can also help you get buy in from team members for the solution chosen – after all, they were involved in developing that solution. What’s more, because brainstorming is fun, it helps team members bond with one-another as they solve problems in a positive, distraction-free environment.

Mind mapping

What is mind mapping?

Mind mapping is a special form of note-taking. Here are some essential features:

You take a (preferably large) sheet of paper in landscape format.
You write the topic / the problem in the middle of the sheet and draw a frame around it.
You write the main aspects and main ideas around that central topic and link them through lines to the center.
You expand the ideas in these “main branches” into subbranches etc.
Wherever appropriate, you should use figures, colours, arrows to link branches etc.

about artist leonardo drew

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:19:45 -0400

Built from rows of stacked cotton and wooden boxes, covered with found objects, and caked with rust to suggest decay, Drew’s large wall reliefs function as social statements and as meditations on creation and process. To date, widely held interpretations of Drew’s work center on the artist’s African-American identity. His use of such evocative materials as bales of raw cotton, rope, and canvas bags like those of cotton pickers evoke black life under slavery; rusted debris found on city streets connotes urban degeneration. While the materials and context easily lend themselves to such readings, the artist’s systematic gridding and complex layering of found objects reference both Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, engaging a larger discourse of contemporary art theory.
