THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

African clothing          ITS SURPRISING HOW SOME PEOPLE IN GHANA THINK THAT VISUAL ART IS FOR POOR PERFORMING STUDENTS. THEY FORGET THAT BASIC THINGS THAT ARE USED BY THEM WHERE BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE BY VISUAL ARTISTS.OUR CLOTHING , SHELTER ,HOUSING AND DECORATIVE  ITEMS WERE PRODUCED BY GREAT ARTIST WHO EXISTED. WHAT WOULD HAVE  HAPPENED IF THERE WERE NO HOUSES IN THE WORLD. IF NO CLOTHES EXISTED AND NO THINGS TO BEAUTIFY OURSELVES. THOSE WHO REFER TO THEIRSELVES AS SCHOLARS WASTE A LOT OF THEIR TIME BEAUTIFYING THEIR  BODIES BEFORE GOING TO WORK. THEY LOOK OUT FOR WELL DRESSED PERSONS BEFORE OFFERING THEM VACANCIES. OUR FASHION INDUSTRY IS CONTROLLED BY VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE VERY FINE TASTE FOR BEAUTY. WE SHOULD RATHER FOCUS ON ENCOURAGING OUR CHILDREN TO STUDY ARTS. VISUAL ARTS FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING THE HEARTS , MIND AND THE HANDS.IT OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT COURSES AND VOCATIONS TO. ONE MAY CHOOSE TO STUDY LEATHER WORK,GRAPHIC DESIGN , CERAMICS AND BEAD MAKING. I STRONGLY THINK THAT VISUAL ART MUST BE ENCOURAGED AND ENFORCED IN BASIC SCHOOLS.

Doug Dubois Photography Lecture

Doug DuBois Book presentation and photography lecture Thursday, October 13, 2011 6 PM Fordham University Visual Arts Department Lincoln Center Campus 113 West 60th Street at Columbus Avenue New York, NY 10023 Room SL24H Join photographer and educator Doug DuBois for a presentation and discussion of his most recent book Doug DuBois: All the Days and Nights published by the Aperture Foundation. Doug DuBois began photographing his family in 1984, prior to his father's near-fatal fall from a commuter train and his mother's subsequent breakdown and hospitalizations. While these events set a narrative backdrop to his work, the emotional freight is carried by the details as described by the artist: "the pallor of my mother's skin, the glare of my father's gaze and the tactile communion between my sister and nephew constitute a complex and resonant picture of family ties."
