I have always been fascinated buy things I observe every day that, when photographed and cropped to maximize composition, are as beautiful as any intentional art. A few years ago I discovered a FaceBook group called Involuntary Painting. There is another group called Curbiture that is about the same concept. These groups all about this notion. I posted things in Involuntary Painting for a while myself. Ambler (and everywhere else) is rich with imagery. The key is to use your cell phone camera to crop what you see. For instance don't take a photo of a rusty dumpster, zoom in to a composition. You can often do a series from the same object. Think about your imagery and what attracts you. Is it because of decay or detail. Note: this is not about taking pretty flower or pet photos. These will resemble abstract paintings and usually consist of layers of information such as the vocabulary list I shared with you. I posted the PowerPoint to Schoology with images and definitions. The words where Palimpsestic, Pentimento, Sous Rature, Asemic Marks, Abstract Comics, etc. I also made a site with my images you might look at. It is called davidtmillerfound. It is a WordPress site and I haven't updated it in some time.

I have long wanted us to parody the concept of the artist statement. If you read professional artist statements you might sometimes wonder what in the world are they saying? So I challenge you to write an artist statement that is as pretentious as you can get. I mean you are a superstar above all others. Remember our formula for writing one: three paragraphs describing your past, present and future relationship to art. It doesn't matter if you will never make art again; just lay it on as thick and deep as you can. Use your thesaurus and enhance the truth!

Kids can go through a large amount of art supplies. It's wonderful to see them expressing their creativity, but keeping up with the demand can mean spending lots of money and sending too much disposable packaging into the trash. Fortunately, many art supplies can be made at home using ingredients you already have. From paint to clay, beads to glue, you can whip up some new art materials in no time. The following list of homemade art supplies comes in handy when you need an easy solution to bored kids trapped inside by cold or rainy weather or just when you reach the bottom of the paint jar. Most of these materials can be made with your kids, so it's a great way to introduce a DIY ethic and encourage making things from scratch. These ideas are great for crafty adults too!

The Public Domain Review: Plague Doctor Costumes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the seventeenth century, during the epidemics of bubonic plague that swept western Europe, plague doctors (who exclusively treated the infected) took to wearing a very different kind of costume to protect them from the miasma, or "bad air", then believed to carry disease. This fanciful-looking costume typically consisted of a head-to-toe leather or wax-canvas garment; large crystal glasses; and a long snout or bird beak, containing aromatic spices (such as camphor, mint, cloves, and myrrh), dried flowers (such as roses or carnations), or a vinegar sponge. The strong smells of these items - sometimes set aflame for added advantage - were meant to combat the contagious miasma that the costume itself could not protect against.

This is inspired by the Australian artist, Lorna Crane, a Facebook friend of mine. She makes beautiful brushes from found objects and then makes beautiful paintings with them. I have had students do this in class, but it would be easy to make some at home (I think). You can find her on Pinterest under Lorna Crane Brushes. I will attach a video of hers and a photo of some student-made brushes from my class.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Lorna Crane is an abstract painter whose work is inspired by the Australian landscape. She makes her own artist's brushes using diverse natural and man-made materials, many of them found at Pambula river mouth on the NSW far south coast.
From deconstructed fishing ropes and nets to feathers, plant roots, grasses and driftwood, each brush is unique, and makes its own unique mark on paper.
Brush-making has brought a new freshness and spontaneity to Lorna's painting, and deepened her connection to the landscape.

This was a very fun exploration  based on assembling a sculpture with random, found materials. I surveyed several FaceBook artist friends for the inspiration. I will post the link to their comments and I will post a link to a website with student work. If you choose to do this my advice is to limit your number of materials. Also key is these are about the materials so you would not try to make your piece referential. If you look at my older assignment posted below you don't need to follow the guidelines I set then. You can run with it however, but I think it's best to not be referential with this.

Material generally denotes substances that will be further processed, it points to the forces of production at the time. From a critical perspective, the term 'material' describes not prime matter but substances that are always subject to change., be it through handling, interaction with their surroundings, or the dynamic life of chemical reactions. It is therefore a political decision to focus on the materials of art: it means to consider the processes of making, and their associated power relations, to consider the workers - whether they are in factories, studios or public spaces, whether they are known or anonymous - and their tools and spaces of production. Materiality is one of the most contested concepts in contemporary art... Make the materials laugh...
Lange-Berndt, Petra, "Introduction: How to be complicit with materials". Materiality: Documents of contemporary art. Co-published by Whitechapel Gallery and The MIT Press. (2015) (12)

Jamey Hart The following is from a phone conversation.

Material Intention: Put the material first. Look at the material and try to siphon its' intention. Have meaning come from the object as opposed to having an idea first and making a piece about it. (When I asked about the title for a group of work, Cobble Bobble) Hmm... I am not really sure. I made that the album title earlier at the start of this work. The work has changed a lot and I have been thinking about changing the title of that album. But, when I started the work I was very much clumsily navigating the materials again after spending two years doing white paintings that restricted my material/palette/practice. So, coming back to disparate materials was like learning to see again or something. I always liken it to having cake again after not eating cake for a really long time. It was sort of disgusting and made me sick, but also really interesting and I had a completely different respect for it. So, that is where the cobble came from. Bobble just rolled out of that naturally. I really like words and sound a lot and I was reading a bunch of E.E. Cummings at the time and he is a sound guy. Also, the work in the beginning was a lot smaller and more toy like. In my opinion it was a lot less strong than the work I am making today because of various reasons, but that early work definitely forged the way to the more complete paintings I am doing now.

Tom Duimstra The following is from written correspondence.

As for my materials, I guess I would consider myself a post minimal appropriationist. I use pieces of stuff that were, at one time, part of something else. Everyday materials such as fencing, siding, fabric, wire, staples, wood. Sometimes I find a piece of plaster or wallpaper, etc. and just hang it on the wall as is. Richard Tuttle is one influence, but I have many others that a lot of artists have probably never heard of.... Charles Harlan comes to mind as does Anna Fasshauer. The interesting thing about those two is that I was doing like work before I ever discovered them..... same with Judith Scott and Philadelphia Wireman. I have been working like this with these materials for over 30 years. Must be something in the air.

Wilma Vissers The following is from written correspondence.

Materiality of painting objects

Last week I was in my studio and looking at the artworks that are displayed on my walls. My conclusion about them was: I don't often use material that can be called neutral, like paper of canvas which is white.The last years I tended to use pieces of wood, actually found in a wood and cut with a chainsaw by my husband or other pieces like samples of wood used by an interior designer. I also have created some pieces with material Kevin Finklea sends me, and artist from Philadelphia.

The pieces have a meaning and a certain character to start with, which I like. I try to use the structure of the wood and in certain cases use it as it is. I use oil sticks. These are sticks made out of oil paint. I like to draw and not to use a brush to apply oil paint. By drawing I feel more connected with the ideas I have while starting a new piece.The combination of oil sticks, especially on the pieces of wood, cut with a chain saw, maintain their rugged character. Mostly they are adapted to a form which I find exciting. It must appear like it was no effort to create and I just unveiled it like it was always present somewhere.

In other cases, I am inspired by the color combinations and the space certain colors create when used together. This is something I always admired very much in the work of Blinky Palermo. I want to use pure color and hope to evoke an image as simple as can be. I hope that my artworks give space and freedom to the viewer. I don't want to guide this process to much. The viewer should be able to make something out of it without knowing me.

Last Spring I was artist in residence on the Shetlands, an island group very close to Norway. I made long walks and prints on self-made paper, which I had made in my studio at home. The beaches off Shetlands are full with pieces of plastic. I made a few prints with this on the paper I had brought with me.

It seems like I have to use natural materials because off the surprise this brings me and in that way, I feel connected to Richard Tuttle who can make anything out of nothing. That's an attitude I like very much. I am also connected with everyday life much more by the use off the wood and the pieces I find.

Kevin Finkle The following is from the website Geoform.

Pure, simple, direct. These are the guiding principles for my studio.

The wooden work resumed in October 2007 during the run of a solo show in Philadelphia. That was a show of paintings that significantly approached a state of immateriality. At that time, I was consumed by the notion that something of such great personal importance could be so easily discarded. Personal convictions seemed as fleeting and dispensable as daily weather reports: data important now, just for now, largely forgotten tomorrow.

I responded by making painted wooden objects. I needed to make things that were verifiable and tactile to counter the state I occupied. I had left object making for pure painting in the year 2000. In returning to objects, I realized the importance of making work as uninfluenced by past experience as possible. I made painted forms as directly as I could without narratives, memories or other past histories attached to the process. I realized this added the burden of expectation to the work. The pieces simply lost their fresh directness when I tried to bring something from the past into the present process. My guiding rule became: glue it, screw it and paint it.

I have little interest in geometry per se. In fact, it was my single worst subject in my math coursework. It seemed I was never able to get it right. While I am interested in pure form and color, these concerns are almost always manifested in some manner that is neither perfect nor quite right. Never square, my pieces are intentionally off balance. While my work is often seen as minimalist, I would note that I actually reject much of Minimalism's concerns. My thinking has its' sources in Suprematism, Neo-Plasticism, Art Concret. Subsequently my work is heavily influenced by post-war non-objective European painting. Specifically, I would note four German artists: Blinky Palermo, Imi Knoebel, Günther Förg and Frank Badur.

Assignment : On the WRITING page of your WordPress site you are to list the following and objectively describe the work to the best of your ability. I have provided some links to the 4 artists who will be looking at your work in the near future. Most of you are familiar with the 3 types of criticism described in the PA State Standards for Art & Humanities (contextual, formal & intuitive). Even though intuitive criticism is the most common I'm not interested (at this time) in whether you personally like this work or not. You are welcome to refer to what you might read, but do not copy and paste someone else's writing. Describe the work to me as if I have never seen it before and you don't want to influence my judgement. You do not need to include images.

This is the first of a series of three pieces exploring materials rather than ideas. High school students were given a wood scrap from a salvaged crate, a shop rag, a piece of chicken wire, rope, twine and a piece of burlap. They were instructed to allow the materials to create an assemblage and to add some sort of embellishment. They were influenced by work and words from Jamey Hart, Wilma Vissers, Tom Duimstra and Kevin Finklea. The artists referenced Richard Tuttle, Charles Harlan, Anna Fasshauer, Judith Scott, Philadelphia Wireman, Blinky Palermo, Suprematism, Neo-Plasticism and Art Concret. I added semiotics to the mix.

The work was completed to aged pianola rolls, using coloured ink to the project colour scheme, in her unique calligraphic style.

Photography of the York Piano Sanctuary by Jane Sage.
'Resettled' is a creative/procedural generative audio remix project, birthed from a piano loop from ‘Railway Spine’s “Damnatio Memoriae”. Inspired by Werner Baer’s arrangement of Jewish hymn “Emet Ki Ata”, a three part string piece by NSW artist Charles Sage and NY composer Scott Archangel was recorded at Infidel Studios NSW by Alex Voorhoeve of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra. Stems were distributed internationally to seven sound designers and musicians in sequential order, with each participant reworking the arrangements of the previous – “a remix of a remix of a remix”. 
The resulting progression is intended to demonstrate a dispersal of the contribution of The Vanished into Australian musical culture.

Lorna Crane is an abstract painter whose work is inspired by the Australian landscape. She makes her own artist's brushes using diverse natural and man-made materials, many of them found at Pambula river mouth on the NSW far south coast.
From deconstructed fishing ropes and nets to feathers, plant roots, grasses and driftwood, each brush is unique, and makes its own unique mark on paper.
Brush-making has brought a new freshness and spontaneity to Lorna's painting, and deepened her connection to the landscape.

Air Dry Clay

Air dry clay is a type of no-bake clay that doesn't require a kiln for hardening and finishing. Ideal for hand-built crafts, miniatures, jewelry, cosplay, theatre props, creating 3D graphics, and more, many air dry clays have a long working time before hardening and can be decorated with tempera, oil paints, acrylics, or markers when dry.

Available in many varieties, some air dry clays can be thrown on a pottery wheel, and some are designed especially for making a handprint keepsake, life-like dolls, or home décor items that have faux marble or stone finishes. Some can even be carved, drilled, or sanded.

Shop Blick for top brands of air dry clays and modeling clays such as Amaco and Crayola. Some varieties are intended for more skilled artists, and others are for younger artists who play with clay in art rooms, classrooms, and other learning environments.
