Known for her perplexing compositions of domestic interiors, Cinta Vidal continues to mesmerize with a new body of paintings at Thinkspace Projects. The artist's solo show, Inward, continues her exploration of what she describes as "un-gravity constructions," in which space and time appear folded or warped.

In Vidal's dizzying compositions, people occupy different areas of invented apartments and homes. Perhaps each tableau represents a different period of time; perhaps they are parallel universes. "For Vidal, depicting macro and micro levels of inverted apartment buildings and city structures illustrates the various ways the world is experienced by a mass population," the gallery says.

"The word 'inward' speaks to both layers of interiority: the shared indoor spaces we inhabit and the private, inward-facing state we enter when we disconnect from what surrounds us," Vidal says. A sofa, for example, can be a place of togetherness or quiet retreat. "These scenes reflect that subtle coexistence: being together, yet each within their own space," she adds.

Inward continues through November 29 in Los Angeles. And as a complement to the exhibition, Vidal painted a new mural on the side of a local frame shop called Sherman Gallery in Marina del Rey. See more on the artist's website and Instagram.

Hi all, yes, it's that time of year again - when instead of sitting on a beach in the sunshine, you find yourself sitting in a chilly English living room fretting about what themes to suggest to your new A level group on their first day back in September.

The school is hounding you because it wants to see evidence of your planning in place before you go back, and you just want to chill.

Choosing a theme for an A-level art project is an important decision that will influence the direction and focus of your students' work. Remember; the most crucial aspect of selecting a theme is to choose something that genuinely interests them and resonates with their artistic vision. It will allow your students to stay motivated and produce authentic and meaningful art for their A-level projects.

But it's difficult to think up ideas on the spot.

What I like to do is provide a Powerpoint (see pics) or a printed handout brimming with ideas, then provide the students with a pile of coloured sugar papers and a marker pens and get them to jot down ideas for art that they can produce as they watch or read or listen to the wide range of titles I provide for them.

Use a different piece of sugar paper for each theme, then discuss ideas after the PowerPoint.

Most of the time, my students rarely use themes / titles that I provide, but some do. What usually happens is that during the process of analysing and rejecting what they don't want to do, an idea of what they DO want to do starts to crystalise in their heads.

I tell them that they have to have a working title by the end of the lesson (it can change) and a mind map / thought shower / spider diagram of ideas scribbled down on their papers.

The piece of paper with the most links for ideas on it should be the one that they go for, because that title has generated the most ideas in their head.

Here are some interesting and diverse themes to consider for your A-level art project:

Decay and Renewal: Depict the contrasts of environments, exploring the decay of older structures and the emergence of modern architecture.

Environmental Awareness: Raise awareness about environmental issues through your art. You can create artworks that depict the beauty of nature, the impact of pollution, or the importance of conservation.

Relationships and Connections: Explore the theme of relationships, whether it's between people, nature, or objects, and depict the connections that bind them together.

Human Emotions: Dive into the depths of human emotions and depict them through your art. Explore the complexities of feelings like joy, fear, love, sadness, etc.

Nature and Environment: Investigate the beauty and fragility of the natural world, using various art forms to depict landscapes, wildlife, and environmental issues.

Festivals and Carnivals: A significant feature of many cultures. They often include masked figures, fantastic costumes and elaborate tableaux.

Curated by Christina M. Spiker, Ph.D.
Sponsored byBlick Art Materials

April 13 - May 26, 2019
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 13, 6-8 p.m.

Drawing from items in the University's Archives & Special Collections, this exhibition explores the relationship between nostalgia and gender in Japanese woodblock prints of the late nineteenth century. The show features various prints by Meiji-period artist Yōshū Chikanobu alongside select examples by Miyagawa Shuntei, Utagawa Kunisada I, Mizuno Toshikata, and Toyohara Kunichika.

Public Lecture: Monday, May 13, 6 p.m.
Nostalgia as Remedy: Modernity and Sentimentality in Japanese Woodblock Prints of the Meiji Era
Christina M. Spiker, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History and curator of the current exhibition, Nostalgic Femininity, will discuss the broader historical and social contexts that inform the relationship between nostalgia and feminine imagery in the work of Japanese printmaker Yōshū Chikanobu and his peers. Learn about print styles from late nineteenth-century Japan using examples from St. Catherine University's Archives & Special Collections.

The catalog for this exhibition, Nostalgic Femininity / From Flowers to Warriors: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the St. Catherine University Archives & Special Collections, may be downloaded here.

This exhibition runs concurrently with From Flowers to Warriors: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the St. Catherine University Archives & Special Collections, also curated by Christina M. Spiker, Ph.D. and on view in the St. Catherine University Library. This exhibition builds on Nostalgic Femininity to explore a broader range of topics in nineteenth-century printmaking, from delicate studies of flowers to intense scenes of battle. The show features various prints by Meiji-period artists Utagawa Yoshitora and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi alongside select examples from other artists including Showa-period shin-hanga artists Aoyama Masaharu, Asada Benji, and Ōno Bakufu.

Japanese Prints @ St. Kate's: Selections from the Archives & Special Collections at St. Catherine University - Through the Assistant Mentorship Program at St. Catherine University, MaryJane Eischen '20 worked with curator Christina M. Spiker to create Japanese Prints @ St. Kate's, a website to supplement both the gallery and library exhibitions. This digital component was built using Scalar 2, a technological publishing platform developed by the University of Southern California. The website catalogs the entirety of the Japanese woodblock print collection in the St. Catherine University Archives & Special Collections and provides additional information about all prints and artists on display in each show. MaryJane also utilized a program called Timeline JS, which was developed by Northwestern University Knight Lab. This software was used to create two JavaScript timelines documenting both the artists in the collection and the ways these prints intersect with the history of Meiji Japan. The website also includes exhibition essays by Christina M. Spiker and Nicole Wallin '19.

All exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.

Curator Bio

Christina M. Spiker is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at St. Catherine University. She received her Ph.D. in Visual Studies from the University of California, Irvine with a specialization in modern Japanese art and visual culture. Her dissertation explored turn-of-the-twentieth century representations of the indigenous Ainu in Japan, and her research continues to investigate how their specific histories intersect with theories of globalization, modernity, and travel from the late nineteenth century until today. Since coming to St. Catherine University, Christina's work has more consciously engaged with representations of gender in Japan. She published "'Civilized' Men and 'Superstitious' Women: Visualizing the Hokkaido Ainu in Isabella Bird's Unbeaten Tracks, 1880" in Gender, Continuity, and the Shaping of Modernity in the Arts of East Asia, 16th-20th Centuries, edited by Lara Blanchard and Kristen Chiem (Brill, 2017). She has also presented on a range of topics at conferences and symposia in the United States and Japan such as College Art Association, Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association, American Historical Association, Asian Studies Conference Japan, Midwest Conference for Asian Affairs, and the Art Historians of the Twin Cities Symposium.

A great website for kinds of printmaking. Jang Jang for silk screen and Nastya and Maria for lino block printing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are a large variety of different lino cutting tools with different shapes and sizes. The most common lino tools are V Tools and U Tools.

U Tools carve softer lines with a curved end point and an even width but it can be harder to get control over the placement of your edges.

V Tools can give a variety of line widths with the same tool, are good for accurate edges and corners. Lines cut with V tools will have sharp pointed ends.

Carving lino is not limited to carving lines around a drawing. A wide variety of marks can be achieved, creating interesting designs when printed that
are characteristic of the lino cutting process.

We've had a go at mark making on lino to give an idea of some of the different marks that can be made. We've used traditional, grey, hessian backed lino - on other lino and vinyls the marks will vary as the materials behave differently. We've
used Pfeil Tools as well as the Japanese Cutting Tools for Wood and Lino.

Above you can see 24 different marks made using these tools on lino. The lino has been inked up so we can see the marks more clearly. Here's how they were
all made:
1. Straight cuts made using Pfeil V Tools - 12/1 and 15/2.
V Tools carve deep lines with pointed ends where the tool has been dug into and pushed out of the lino.
2. Pfeil U Tools - 11/1, 11/3, 11/2 and 9/5
U Tools carve lines that are uniform in width and have rounded ends. You can clearly see the marks made by each different tool by its line width.
3. Clearing using large Japanese U tool
U tools are good for clearing as they create more even, flatter areas with less troughs and peaks that can pick up ink.
4. Pfeil 9/5 U Tool with snap off
On traditional grey lino you can create edges by flicking the tool upwards to snap off the piece of lino.
5. Pfeil 15/2 V Tool
V Tools can create lines that vary in width with tapered ends.
6. Circles with Japanese U Tool
Create circles by rotating the lino as the tool stays still.
7. Japanese V Tool with snap off
You can also use the V tool to create sharp edges by snapping off pieces of lino. These shapes have a more pointed end because a V Tool was used.
8. Japanese V Tool corners
Neat corners and arrow shapes can be made by using two cuts of the V Tool.
9. Cutting up to an edge with Japanese V Tool
You can use the snap off technique to cut up to a line before neatening the edge.
10. Cross hatching with Pfeil 12/1 V Tool
The Pfeil 12/1 is a tiny V tool that can be used to carve delicate lines. The cross hatching can be used for creating tone or texture.
11. Japanese Hangito Tool at an angle
The Japanese Hangito tool looks a little like a scalpel. It is more commonly used in Japanese Woodblock Printing but can be used in lino cutting to achieve
sharp edges. Hold the tool at an angle and cut one side and then the other to create a V tool-like gouge mark.

12. Moving the lino to curve with Japanese U Tool
This mark was made by holding a U Tool straight whilst the lino is wobbled from side to side.
13. Japanese Chisel in a square to get sharp edges
Like the Hangito Tool, the chisel in the set of Japanese Tools is more commonly used for Japanese Woodblock Printing. You can, however, experiment with
this tool on your lino - try pushing the tool straight down firmly to create sharp edges and skimming off the surface.
14. Tiny marks with Japanese V Tool
Random, delicate marks in the same direction can create texture or pattern. The V Tools will give you tiny lines.
15. Small dots with Pfeil 11/2 U Tool
The same technique can be used with a U Tool to give small dots.
16. Shallow dot texture with Pfeil 9/5 U Tool
Using a slightly larger U tool and making your marks closer together can create interesting patterns from the raised lino left behind.
17. Circles with Japanese U Tool
Similarly to creating circles by rotating the lino, larger open circles can be made using the same twisting lino technique.
18. Leaving a positive line with Japanese U Tool
Because of their even line width, U tools can be useful when leaving delicate positive lino lines raised.
19. Japanese U Tool snap off up to a line
Use the U Tool to carve up to a positive carved line.
20. Japanese V Tool snap off to a line
V Tools can be used in the same way, when using snap off up to a carved line. Different depths of V Tool will give different shaped Vs.
21. Japanese U Tool spirals
The even line widths achieved by using U Tools are perfect for carving concentric lines and even shapes with control.
22. Wiggling line made by rocking Japanese V Tool from side to side
Hold your V Tool straight and wiggle the lino from side to side to create a jagged line.
23. Pfeil 12/1 V Tool
The Pfeil 12/1 V Tool is perfect for very fine, controlled lines.
24. Cleaning around a positive shape with Japanese U Tools
The edge of this rectangle was carved with a Japanese small U Tool. The background was then cleared using the Japanese large U Tool.

These are just some of the marks that can be achieved using your tools. Experiment with your own to see what you can make
