You are doing it on your exercise book, beer coasters, the bench in the park, the school toilet, in the sand, during courses or while on the phone: to doodle, scrawl, scribble or just to daub is a basic need to express creativity. We know this already, but what this volume introduces is the idea that absent mindedly made images, drawn where perhaps they aren't supposed to be, can be the beginning of the best ideas you have ever had, rather than just an outlet that can be forgotten about.
Rachel Whiteread is one of the most acclaimed British artists of her generation. Yet, despite the fact that she has been the subject of consistent press coverage since being awarded the prestigious Turner Prize in 1993 -- & that her work openly articulates emotional themes -- there has been limited public exposure of the personality behind the work, & her sources of inspiration as an artist. Rachel's Book is far more than a conventional monograph, offering Whiteread the opportunity to present her work in published form for the first time. It is an artwork in its own right. Continuing in the spirit of the celebrated 'anti-monograph' he produced with Damien Hirst, publisher Edward Booth-Clibborn has given Whiteread free rein to expand the idea of how an artistic vision may be 'captured' on the printed page. As the theme for Rachel's Book, the artist has chosen 'home'. But Whiteread is less interested in describing what home means, more in how it feels. Using innovative production effects, the book articulates her personal response through images, textures, colours, smells, sounds & emotional references, which the artist has sourced over the course of several years. Rachel's Book is an emotive & evocative extension of Whiteread's celebrated series of pieces on a domestic theme. These 'spatial negative' sculptures -- unique casts of forgotten spaces under furniture, & most memorably, the entire space inside a derelict house in London's East End -- are the artworks that first brought her to international attention.

This book explores playfulness and artfulness in digital writing and communication and anwers penetrating questions about this new medium.

Digital greetings are changing the way we celebrate special occasions and public holidays, but will they take the place of paper postcards and greeting cards? The author also looks at how new art forms, such as virtual theatre, ASCII art, and digital folk art on IRC, are flourishing, and how many people collect and display digital fonts on handsome Websites, or even design their own.

Three delightful tales from a renowned Nigerian storyteller introduce a chapter-book heroine who is every bit as mighty as she is small. In a trio of droll stories, award-winning author and storyteller Atinuke debuts an endearing and enduring character with plenty to prove. Tola lives in an apartment in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria, with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. Tola may be small, but she’s strong enough to carry a basket brimming with groceries home from the market, and she’s clever enough to count out Grandmommy’s change. When the faucets in the apartment break, it’s Tola who brings water from the well. And when Mr. Abdul, the tailor, has an accident and needs help taking his customers’ measurements, only Tola can save the day. Atinuke’s trademark wit and charm are on full display, accompanied by delightful illustrations by Onyinye Iwu. Too Small Tola evokes the urban bustle and rich blending of cultures in Lagos through the eyes of a little girl with an outsize will—and an even bigger heart.
Hello teachers! We know you work hard. Besides ninjas, you have the hardest job in the world. Between the teaching, the testing, the grading, and the nurturing it’s difficult to seek out new materials for your classroom. We are here to help. As poets and teachers, we know the power of the spoken word in the classroom. All you have to do is attend a youth slam or find a clip of one online and you will see the positive impact modern poetry has on our young people. It is able to engage students from any background in a way that classical poetry simply cannot touch. A complaint we’ve heard from many teachers is that they would love to use spoken word in their classrooms but they are afraid of getting in trouble with rough language and themes. So behold! We asked some of the best contemporary spoken word and slam poets to give us poems that would be appropriate for the classroom. This means you will not have to sift through this book with a highlighter to try and find the F’s and the S’s and the B’s and the Z’s. We’ve provided poems from national slam champs, world slam champs, fellow teachers, and poets we feel are the best of what’s around. We’ve also included some amazing lessons in its companion book for the teacher, sold separately.
