Use salvage materials to make a house. Rearrange broken pieces to create a roof with characters. The builder, Mr. Phillips, calls it Storybook house, I think it is Mymble's house, a character from the Moomin, by the Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. I grew up watching the Moomins and Mymble is always the mischief in the show and annoyingly sly. I dun like her and she reminds me of me! In the next Photoshop exercise, we'll learn how to use bit and pieces of images to create a visual whole. Much like what Mr. Phillips did with unwanted picture frames corners, broken glasses or tiles to assemble a rustic mural, we'll break apart what we scanned to reconstruct a simple scene of 1 of 4 seasons.

This site is a selection of "art" related news. Art is indeed a big word that needs quotation and explanation. As one can immediately relate art to "beautiful things made by artists", I see it as an aesthetic of life, inquiry of our environment and general merriment by anything that flares "STATE OF THE ART". Since I'm teaching Foundation Computer Art (149) and Computer Art (349) at California State University, Long Beach, these entries serve as inspiration, expanded knowledge and assignment related items for those classes.
