Academic Aesthetic 130 Video

  Here’s my latest rambling, where I talk about the definition of art and how it relates to education.

…Ok, you got me – this is a response to Dave LaMorte.  I also make a plug for the Artchive.

Mini Lesson 7: Origami Water Bomb

I love origami, so whenever I need an idea for one of my mini lesson videos I tend to lean towards that first. Lucky for me I know a lot of designs that are public domain!

I tried something new with this episode. Instead of using iMovie I tried out eyespot.com. It’s not as feature rich as iMovie, but it does a decent job and even allows you to export video for video iPods. Nice.

This is the second of two lessons that I recorded at the DEN North East Regional Institute. It has nothing to do with the DEN other than that.

Mini Lesson 6: Artist Trading Cards

I’ve had Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs, on the brain for a while now. Is it any wonder that I would do a Mini Lesson on them?
