Journal Article About Creativity

Sustainability - the main topic of Fabrikart's ninth issue

Luis Badosa states that the saying for the sake of art encapsulates the spirit of Fabrikart to perfection. The professor at the Fine Arts Faculty is the alma mater of this journal, published and distributed by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)’s own Publication Service. The publication began in 2000 and has had a greatly eclectic content, but always to do with art, technology, industry and society as common denominators. The ninth and most recent issue, which came out last March, is a monograph on sustainability. Fabrikart was founded on the initiative of a group of lecturers at the UPV/EHU from Fine Arts, Engineering, Architecture, Sociology and Philosophy of Values. “We saw that art could not carry on being the exclusive preserve of Fine Arts, but increasingly belonged to many fields”, explained Mr Badosa, who described the determination of these entrepreneurs as “an act of faith”. Fabrikart starts from the idea of industrial iconography, that of valuing art in relation to industry, to the factory. Professor Badosa says that this connection, which appeared strange for people at first when the journal began, has ended up being reaffirmed by society itself: “The reality not only has shown us to be right, but has magnified the motive with which we started the journal. We started with a timed, hesitant approach, but now it is society itself telling us that any art not produced in a factory, that does not take the link with production into account, that does not consider current productive society, is not art”. According to Mr Badosa, “in art we have subjected ourselves to the concept of the factory as an element of production and of creativity”. Which is why cities such as Barcelona have started to present their arts programmes in a factory. “Production” of art works is talked about – cannons launching wax against a wall of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or Puppy , the huge dog made of flowers and which guards its entrance. In fact, Mr Badosa points to Jeff Koons, author of this floral sculpture, as a paradigmatic example of this new productivity. Ever since the seventh issue, each Fabrikart has been a monographic one, in which a specific topic is dealt with from different perspectives, article by article.

Survey: Moms Feel Need to Foster Kids' Creativity : ezSurveys ...

Swim lessons and summer camp aren’t the only activities that parents will encourage their kids to take on this summer break. According to mothers of grade-school-aged children surveyed by Parenting magazine’s MomConnections, more than 75 percent of moms say they feel responsible for fostering their kids’ creativity.

Creative Products

Cheryl Wilbur, market researcher at Parenting magazine, says, “For the last couple of years, we have been seeing a trend toward mothers embracing and purchasing simple yet effective creative tools that allow their children’s imaginations to soar.”

Mothers are looking for supplies that help unleash their kids’ creativity, and the basics are winning out. The Parenting magazine survey reported that nearly one-fifth of mothers purchase paint and more than one-fourth purchase markers to aid their kids’ creative inspiration.

Parents won’t have to look far this summer in their pursuit for new, easy-to-use arts and crafts products for kids and teens on the go. Products such as Elmer’s Paintastics™ Paint Brush Pens work like a marker but include a brush applicator that can mix paint colors and won’t dry out. The thin brush tip allows kids to write or paint with fine lines or broad strokes. Paintastics also put parents’ typical concerns about painting to rest-the paint is contained in the brush, dries instantly and is nontoxic and washable.

Summertime Activities

So how can parents foster creativity? Elmer’s arts and crafts product expert Michelle Manning suggests the following activities to help parents elicit that creative spark in their kids while also getting quality time together.

• Photography classes: Summer is the perfect time to photograph nature. Frame and display the photos or use them as inspiration for a painting or sketch. Get creative with the mediums. Use charcoals, acrylics, pastels, Paintastics or mix mediums.

• Symphonies in the park: With good weather comes music in the park. Check with a local symphony or orchestra for upcoming performances.

• Personalized postcards: Make one-of-a-kind postcards on summer road trips with glue sticks, markers, paints, buttons, ribbons, stamps or whatever elicits creativity.

• Journaling: Create a wonderful memento by writing and designing a journal cover about the summer.
