Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a modern and contemporary art museum designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, built by Ferrovial[1] and located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. It is built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Atlantic Coast, says Wikipedia.
The curves on the building have been designed to appear random. The architect has been quoted as saying that "the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light". Designed by Canadian/American architect Frank Gehry and opened to the public in 1997, it was immediately vaulted to prominence as one of the world's most spectacular buildings in the style of Deconstructivism, although Frank Gehry does not associate himself with this architectural movement. Architect Philip Johnson called it "the greatest building of our time".[2]

Guggenheim Museum, NYC
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which opened in 1959, is one of the best-known museums in New York City and one of the 20th century's most important architectural landmarks, says Wikipedia.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the museum––which is often called simply The Guggenheim––is home to a renowned permanent collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern, and contemporary art, and also features special exhibitions throughout the year.
The distinctive building, Wright's last major work, instantly polarized architecture critics upon completion,[2] though today it is widely revered.[3] From the street, the building looks approximately like a white ribbon curled into a cylindrical stack, slightly wider at the top than the bottom. Its appearance is in sharp contrast to the more typically boxy Manhattan buildings that surround it, a fact relished by Wright who claimed that his museum would make the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art "look like a Protestant barn."[2]
Internally, the viewing gallery forms a gentle helical spiral from the ground level up to the top of the building. Paintings are displayed along the walls of the spiral and also in exhibition space found at annex levels along the way.
Most of the criticism of the building has focused on the idea that it overshadows the artworks displayed within, and that it is particularly difficult to properly hang paintings in the shallow windowless exhibition niches that surround the central spiral.

The demi-moore-nude-baby-bump-in-vanity-fair was a historic graphic
Annie Leibovitz (IPA: /ˈliːbəvɪts/) (born October 2, 1949) is an American portrait photographer whose style is marked by a close collaboration between the photographer and the subject, says Wikipedia. She is the reigning artistic snapper of celebs and one of the world's best known art-minded photogs.
Rolling Stone magazine covers (ex: Whoopi Gildberg lying nude in a tub filled with milk) made her fame. She moved to Vanity Fair and established her edgy status with nude photos of John Lennon and, later, Demi Moore (1991). She recently got teen Miley Cyrus to pose partly nude.
She shows her most artistic photos in books and exhibits in major art galleries.

Street artist Shepard Fairey scores with Obama posters
Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina) is a contemporary artist, graphic designer and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene[1] and became known initially for his "André the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign. His work became more widely known in the 2008 United States Presidential Election, specifically his Barack Obama "HOPE" poster, says Wikipedia. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists.[2
Shepard Fairey was raised in Charleston, South Carolina. His father was a doctor. Fairey became obsessed with art at the age of 14. At that time he started to place his drawings on skateboards and T-shirts.[3]
Fairey graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts in illustration.
In addition to his successful graphic design career Shepard Fairey also DJ's at many clubs under the name DJ Diabetic and Emcee Insulin, as he has diabetes.[4]
His first art museum exhibition, aptly named Supply & Demand alongside his book, opens in Boston at the Institute of Contemporary Art in February, 2009.[5]
He sits on the advisory board of Reaching to Embrace the Arts, a not-for-profit organization that provides art supplies to disadvantaged schools and students.[6]
Fairey currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with his wife Amanda and daughters Vivienne and Madeline.

Arts the key to America's human growth
From Newsweek writer Jeremy McCarter:
Since election day, pundits have exhausted themselves trying to locate every last reason for Barack Obama's win. But the fine-tooth combing has missed something—or, rather, someone: Walt Whitman. Nobody has pointed out that Obama shares his victory with the generations of writers and musicians and painters in the fervently democratic tradition that descends from our national poet.
To understand how the arts prepared the way for Obama, we first need to clarify what it means when people (including the president-elect) say that "only in America" could his story be possible. That can't be a statement about law or politics, since the election of someone with Obama's unconventional background is technically possible in plenty of democracies. It's really a statement about our national imagination: only in America could a majority of voters see a person who is so unlike them—a black man who has an African father, a mother from Kansas, an international childhood, a name packed with vowels—as a fellow citizen who's capable of leading them. And where did we Americans learn to be so uniquely broad-minded? In large part, from our artists.

Teacher's review of the exhibit at Norton Art Foundation; a sample paper for your assignment
Fruit floating above a tabletop in delicious suspension. A person’s face looming from the background of a dark room. These are scenes from the 65 paintings in the Realism exhibit at Norton Art Foundation. The show is stunning. These are paintings that offer a highly detailed, accurately-colored photographic impact.
Slap-your-face realism in oils, tempera, acrylics and pencil have been collected from a global list of highly competent painters for this show. The artists all belong to the International Guild of Realism and were chosen by jury.
Among them: Alberto Hinojosa, a painter who has been head of the Louisiana Tech art department.
The realism provokes philosophical questions: how does one appreciate a super-realistic piece? Why not substitute a photo? It is a joy to see how highly developed the human eye and hand can become. It is like watching a world-class athlete. Millions tune in on TV to watch their feats. These are athletes of the micro-movement, of the tiny brush and steady eye.
Imagine a box wrapped in brown paper, ready to be shipped. Imagine the string around it. A label. Oops; there’s a tear in the paper. I can see the box underneath the paper. It fools the eye: it’s a trompe l’oeil painting. The image of box, paper and string is a marvelous trick, an elaborate gambit. And it represents one of mankind’s most ancient and artful games.

Please enter it as a presentation/slide show in Google Docs. If you've got music in mind, bring it to the classroom or integrate it.

Field trip to Norton on Tues, Jan 13, during the class hour; need 2 parents to accompany visit to Realism exhibit
Now that I've got your attention:our visit to the exhibit of photorealistic paintings at RW Norton Foundation Art Gallery will take place Tues, Jan 13, during our class period. You'll be surprised how little time it takes to drive to Norton.
Norton requires an adult for every 10 students so we get to invite 2 parents to meet us there. I'll take any and all volunteers. I've seen the exhibit twice and highly recommend it. Jennifer Defratis of the Norton staff will give us background and insights on the show.
Leave your name at 221-2501, Cmhs, or call me at the house: 861-1519. Looking forward to meeting parents.

Field trip to Dallas art museums coming soon
Because my proposal for an overnight trip to Houston museums presented numerous logistical problems I am proposing a one-day visit to the museums in downtown Dallas. It will be much more affordable and comfortable.
Big D!
In a few blocks, we can explore and have lunch at
- Dallas Museum of Art, the DMA, is a fabulous resource center.
- Crow Museum of Asian Art
- Nasher Sculpture Museum
Ft Worth, something like an hour past Dallas, has another group of world class museums: The Kimbell Museum, The Modern Art of Ft Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. That really should be a separate visit.
Also am working on a visit to RW Norton Art Foundation gallery. As soon as Mr G can reserve a bus for us, we shall go.
