Piñatas: The High Art of Celebration

This fall, the Craft in America Center will present Piñatas: The High Art of Celebration, an in-person and virtual exhibition that will focus on the overlooked craft of handmade piñatas and piñata-based art objects. Piñatas, ubiquitous and often the focal point of parties and festive occasions across the U.S., are handcrafted and ephemeral objects that signify happiness, joy, and celebration. This show will explore how they are designed, constructed and executed, and the integral role that they play in modern material culture. It will present the work of traditional piñata artisans alongside artists who reinvent and reinterpret the piñata through their engaging sculptural practices and strong political expressions.

Taiwanese Lecturer Draws Amazing Anatomical Drawings on Chalkboard

Chuan-Bin Chung is an art lecturer at the Shu-Te University of Taiwan giving Anatomy of Arts and Painting Skill classes. If only some teachers in North America were as dedicated as him, they would aspire the youngsters to bigger things. Lead by example. I am truly impressed by his dedication or perhaps his school does not have a budget for an interactive projector.

Adults by Schulz

Charles M. Schulz created some of the world’s most recognizable young characters, but Peanuts was not his only foray into the funny pages. Sometime in the mid-1950s, Schulz developed a concept for a workplace humor strip featuring adults. He titled it Hagemeyer, after his close friend from the Army.

Tick Tock Wellbeing Art

Tick Tock not to be confused with the app that has been around since 1903 and makes teas from the UK. Jamie Nash Studio was approached to design two new flavors of Ginger Boost and Chai Relax art. I am sure you will agree the result is serene with a prancing zebra and a tiger floating through the water. It just makes me want to buy some Tick Tock tea. You will love their merch, the Ginger Boost tote bag is the coolest thing! The red caddy is to die for.
