Local artist brings craft of clay to kids

By Rorye O'Connor and Rorye O'Conner · Monday, Dec. 12,2005 1:08 a.m.

Karen Green Stone didn't always plan to be a potter. In fact, she had no history with clay until she substituted for an art teacher in 1975. Now she teaches "The Science of Art" at the John Waldron Arts Center, 122 S. Walnut St., and creates her functional pottery. "What it is is looking at the materials we use as artists and where they come from," Green Stone said about her class. "It's a way to introduce children to the natural world."

By Alyson Brodsy and Carl Hartman · Monday, Dec. 12,2005 1:06 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- As long as there's been money, there have been counterfeiters. An exhibit at the National Museum of American History reinforces that axiom. The oldest piece in the display is a 1690 two-shilling bill from Massachusetts. A counterfeiter good with a pen changed its value to 20 shillings.

The promise of sex is simply part of the landscape in tropical Cuba, carried along on languid sea breezes and the primal pounding of drums. But is communist Cuba ready for Robert Mapplethorpe?

By MichaelLyn McBride · Tuesday, Dec. 6,2005 11:34 p.m.

The IU Art Museum special exhibitions gallery is currently playing host to "American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh" until Dec. 23. This distinctive collection highlights Art Sinsabaugh's incredible landscape photographs, which were captured by the artist's giant "banquet" camera, so named because it was originally intended to photograph large social gatherings. With this colossal piece of equipment, Sinsabaugh was able to produce 12-by-20-inch negatives, which he often dramatically cropped to evoke the massive sweep of the horizon.

'THE NUTCRACKER'

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Dec. 1,2005 12:34 p.m.

This weekend the IU Musical Arts Center will welcome the timeless holiday tradition "The Nutcracker." "The Nutcracker" is a classic story of Christmas by the German author E.T.A. Hoffmann. The story features Clara Stahlbaum, a young German girl who dreams that a Nutcracker she received for Christmas turns into a prince. The ballet was born when Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) set the story to music in 1891. Ever since, the ballet has become a Christmas tradition that conjures up childhood fantasies and the world of the imagination.

By Allison Richie · Thursday, Dec. 1,2005 12:13 p.m.

If there is a checklist for making the most of the first semester of college, Rachelle Wilson has certainly completed hers. The "Art of Acting" Freshman Interest Group, a community within the Residential Programs and Services system, decided in September to go above and beyond for their final project relating to the freshman experience. Instead of making a scrapbook or writing a short story reflecting on the previous few months, this FIG decided to make a movie.
