- FACT SHEET-THE ARTMOBILE

The concept of the art-exhibit-on-wheels has been variouslyreferred to as "artmobile," "museumobile," and "museobus,"and such units have been operating effectively in thiscountry and in Europe for more than 30 years. Several artbarges have been developed for rivers and canals. Helicopter-lifted art galleries are proposed. Fifteen publicly ownedartmobiles are operating or are under development in Arizona,Arkansas, California, Illtnois, Michigan, Montana, Nevada,New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Two Artmobiles willbe in operation in the Los Angeles City Schools by Fall, 1967--one for designated ESEA secondary schools, and one for altelementary schools.

Project design, student needs, artist availability, artist cooperation, anddisplay limitations were criteria considered in the assembling of this exhibit.It vas not planned to be either comprehensive or representative of any art.group, period, style or art area. Rather, it was designed for students andteadhers to use in achieving the following objecttves:

OBJECTIVE 1 - To develop the social skills and self-disciplinenecessary to appreciate art

Social Skills (for the student)

Every effort has been made so that the exhibit can control itself, butwe need your help. About 40 thousand students will go through thiseihibit during its one-year showing. Even gentle touching of woodsurfaces, poles, and sculptures will result in wear. The art works donot belong to the schools. They belong to the artists and the personsWho have purchased them. They have been loaned to us so that you cansee them and study them. The display equipment is designed to supportthe art and to provide an aesthetic environment. It is on display forstudy as good industrial and furniture design.

13

The display structure may look somewhat like playground structures,but this unit is fragile. Its function is different.

Surfa ls of paintings and photographs can be damaged easi%-. Theyshould not be touched. The cabinets contain equipment and wereselected to be used for needed storage. All the equipment can bemoved many thmes for arranging future exhibits.

Self-Discipltne (for the student)-

Practice looking hard at a piece of art. Let your eyes do the work--not your hands. Your job is to take the art into your mdnd throughyour eyes and to make it yours without touching. This requires practice,but you can learn to do it. Good places to start are from die bottom,or from just below the upper left corner. Practice locating these spots.Some pieces of art may lead you to start from other spots. Try to findart in the Axtmdbile that does this to you. Make your eyes move over,across, back into, around, and behind the ehapes. DID this until you aresure your mind has recetved the art work.

Don't worry about What the art should man, or Whether you like it ordon't like it. You can decide those things later. Think of the personOho made the work. The artist knew that he was doing something thatcould be done only by htioself and that it needed to be done.

Don't worry about how easy it would be to copy it. All great thingshaVe seemed easy after they wre done for the first time. It isvery hard to do original art. Art is ihe only thing that kills the'reputation of the copier, rather than the reputation of the artist.

Look at eadh piece of art as if you have never seen anything like itbefore. Think, "Maybe I'll never get to see it again." Try toforget Chat other people are around you. Concentrate on your ownjob, and let them do their jobs. You can talk about it later. Theymay like looking at original art, too.

OBJECTIVE 2 - To provide enriching experiences in art

-Students need to see art as well as to do art.

-Students need more direct experiencfilmy- slides, and books are indirkinds of experience are needed.

with art works. Such things ast means of art experience. Both

-Dramatic visual experience builds interests and leads to understanding,appreciation, and knowledge.

14

-Art can be enriching if it forces a student to face himself or anartist as a human being. Self-identification is important.

-True art communicates to the artist in each of us, if the artistin each of us is alive. Keeping him alive is an objective of artcducatian.

-We educate both top performers in arts and top consumers of art.One group gains little without the other.

-Each student has inherent art worth and dignity Where he is now--not Where we want him to be.

ARTMOBILE

SUGGESTED LEARNING ACTIVITIES

FOR THE CLASSROOM

- Use the film strip for sttmulating discussion. Certain frames involvecloseups that do not show the whole piece of art. Assign students toimagine and draw their concept of the Whole work.

- Develop lessons from the vocabulary.

- Develop lessons using die list of objects and subjects in the art work.These lessons may be effective before or after the Artmobile experience.

- Study the roles of workers and designers (not named) In the production ofthe truck tractor, the vans, and the display equipment.

Examples: automotive designersindustrial designerscarpenters, cabinet makerstool designers, paintersframe makers

-Study the human relationships of the artists (ages, men, wemen, marriage,children)

- Study their educational backgrounds. Did one of the artists attend yourschool or sehools that you know? Emphasize that all the work is made byartists who live and work in our area.

- Where_ do they work?. Most of the artiste in Ekhibit #1 have home studios.Do they work at jobs related to art? What are same of these jobs?

Examples: DirectorsInstructors

Public Relations Personnel

The art chairman may set up a program for selected non-art students to visitthe Artmobile. Limit these groups to 20 students.

Stage I - Motivation and Preparation- -30 minutes

Stage II - Vlsit the Artmobile

Stage III - Follaw-up discussion--15 to 30 minutes

Stage IV - Evaluation (Research and Development)--10 minutes

(Mark the cards "Non-art enrolled.")

16

Do not use the Artmobile for non-art enrolled students if time cannot beallowed for these four stages.

-Evaluation of Exhibit #1 in terms of "i like it" or "I don't like it" isnot enough. "I learned something" would be more meaningful. "Iexperienced something new and would like to hear constructive criticism."

11 RALPH BACEMA

Ceramics, Sculpture, Instruction

BIOGRAPHY

Ralph Bacerra graduated from GardenGrove High School in Orange County,Calif. He studied art at theChouinard Art Institute in LosAftgeles, where he earned his BFAdegree in 1960. Mr. Bacerra was anart instructor at Chouinard Art

Institute from 1961 through 1963, andbecame Chairman of the Ceramic Depart-ment at Chouinard in 1964. He hasmaintained a studio in Los Angelessince 1964. Mr. Bacerra hasexhibited in numerous local andnational ceramic shows, including TheCalifornia Design, Pasadena ArtMuseum, Pasadena, Calif.; ContemporaryCrafts, New York; etc. He has wonseveral awards, the latest in 1967,

at the Crocker Art Gallery, Sacramento,Calif. In 1965 and 1966, he held one-man exhibitions at the Canyon Galleryin Los Angeles.

STATEMENT

To use clay to express what I feel ina creative way is very exciting andsatisfying. The use of form, volume,space, color, surface, and textureis a challenge that is always changing.The materials and tools that are usedwith clay require good craftsmanship;but although craftsmanship is important,it is not the most important thing inworking with clay. Most important areto be aware, to be resourceful, to havediscipline, to have imagination, and tobe able to put these things together ina creative thought.

ARTWORK

#1 Ceramic Dish, glazed stoneware,19" dia., wheel thrown, non-objectivedecoration. (lent by artist)

#2 Ceramic Vase, glazed, slabconstruction, incised line, 21-1/8".(lent by artist)

NOTE: The semi-mat finish of finestoneware is achieved with very highfiring. Colors are greyed as the mixedglazes become part of the clay.Sometimes it is difficult for beginnersto appreciate these finishes. A studyof natural stones from river beds andbeaches helps build appreciation for thistype of beauty.

SAUL BASS

Design, Illustration, Graphics,Advertising, Art Direction

BIOGRAPHY

Saul Bass was born in New York in1920, but he has lived on the WestCoast of the United States since1946. Mr. Bass has won world fameand prizes in the field of graphic,industrial, film, and exhibitiondesign.

Works by Mr. Bass are in the Musemnof Modern Art in New York; theLibrary of Congress and theSmithsonian Institute in Washington,D.C.; and other galleries of theworld.

Mr. Bass is perhaps most widely

known for his work with the movies.He did the beginning and endingtitles and designs for such films as"Around the World in Eighty Days,""Walk on the Wild Side," and "It'sa Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Healso did fhe designs for "The Manwith the Golden Arm," "Exodus," and"The Cardinal."

Mr. Bass is married and has threechildren.

STATEMENT

As a designer, I'm after people--that is, I'm trying to reach Chenthrough their eyes. Design isimportant because people areimportant, and design matters onlyin that it meets people's needs. Adesign is just a detailed way ofsaying something--sametimes verysmall--of a very important culturalpattern--a pattern that is somehowtouched by the ad, the book, thebuilding. A lasting design changessomebody's way of feeling towardsomething, even if only in a mnallway.

I like to make people feel something--to make that connection which

doesn't just put a picture beforethe eyes, but opens up a way ofthinking for them. A designer'sproblem is to learn how to givepeople experiences that will helpthem to grow.

ART WORK

Various lithographs - original agencystate for clients - (Film SyMbol)"Anatomy of a Murder," 8x11 (lentby Mt. Gatto), (Magazine Cover)"Photograph of Daughter," 12x9,(lent by Mt. Gatto), Storyboard witha note to students, 12kx18.

NOTE: These designs move throughproduction processes including menand machines before the originalstate is achieved. Mt. Bass controlsthe idea and decides the originalstate. Experimentation (trial anderror) is a part of this creativegroup process.

TEXT FROM STORYBOARD

These are some frames from an openiagI designed for the film "Walk on theWild Side." The setting is NewOrleans in the early thirties, anddeals with the displaced, tough,seamy characters of a despairingtime. SyMbolic of this is the catin these title credits. It openswith him emerging from a culvert SOO

3 ROBERTO CHAVEZ

BIOGRAPHY

Mr. Chavez has won many awards forhis painting and sculpture. Hisworks are shown often in SouthernCalifornia.

NT. and Mrs. Chavez have fourchildren. He works in his studio athis home.

STATEMENT

When a person decides to become anartist, he has made the first steptoward being one. This may soundtoo simple, but it is true. Thereare many people in art schools andart classes uho haven't made thisfirst important decision. Also,there are many people who could beartists, but they have never madethat first important decision.

The next step is to begin the studyof art. Like any other study, thiscalls for constant practice andlearning. You must get to know thework of the great artists and thenplace yourself in the bands of amaster. In our schools, this meansthat you will learn from many teachers.

The last step is both the hardest andthe easiest. It is the hardestbecause no one can do it for you orhelp you; it is the easiest because itmeans just changing your thinking.You must now think that you are anartist.

After that, all that is left is towork.

ART WORK

Note: Daruma - a Japanese monk whobecame disappointed with the world.He made a Zen, sitting andconcentrating so very hard, wantingpeople to face the facts, to workhard, and to be patient, that heslowly lost his arms, legs, and eyes.Now on New Years Day in Japan, peoplebuy his tmage and express theirdreams and wishes to him. When thesecame true, they paint his eyes on asa gesture of thanks for success.Since he is designed as a bank, he isusually returned to the shrine withmoney inside.

serigraphs (silk screen prints) arenow shown in most of the world'sgreat art museums. Sister Coritateaches art at Immaculate HeartCollege in Los Angeles most of theyear. She has only three weeks ayear to be a full-time artist. Sheworks like a whirlwind in those threeweeks, doing mostly serigraphs.

Sister Corita believes that a truelave of art means the study of life,which means working with words andideas--and that is just what SisterMary Corita does!

STATEMENT

I want to infiltrate society becausethe art instinct in man, even if it'sonly that you get enjoyment fromsomething your fellowman has madebeautiful, is essential ia everybody.It's one of our human capabilities.

Some people are more capable than others,certainly. But all people whosecapabilities have been ground understill have latent capabilities, readyto be touched and brought out. Thisseems to me to be the infiltrationidea: helping people to use theirwhole selves better. You know--their bodies, their spirit, theiraspirations. I Chink we need to useall our human equipment, and especiallythe kind that helps us recognize beauty.

--Love is what moves us to create, togo beyond ourselves.

"Give the Gang" - Now - the clue isin the "signs" which revealthemselves to the listening heart, andso reprove our unmortified tamperings.Such signs lead to further questionsin the nature of things. The road doesnot reach its end when an answer is near;it forks out in two or five or ahundred new directions.

STATEMENT

Art is a symbolic activity, theconstruction of form fran experience.The art spirit is as great as theimagery itself; to feel and knowbeauty is a creative enterprise. Increative work, it is not the medium,but a product of the heart, head, andhand which determines artisticachievement. It is not necessary toentirely understand the creativeprocess, but the camera artist mustrecognize and respect the conditionswhich permit it to occur.Photography is light reformed and theI.Q. of the photographer; its imageryis the result of elements transforminglight into new forms. It is excitingto explore new forms. The photog-rapher deals with objective reality.He employs a personal vocabulary toexpress content. Unlikearchitecture and sculpture whichexpress space, photographyarticulates best in treating two-dimensional content. Qual4tiveart is not only measured by color,form, or design, but by vision andpurpose. The photographer cannotjust look; he must see. This

requires a synthesis of self-awareness and experience. The

photographer's performance dependson his human potential level. Heforces lieht, matter, environment;

and the photographic process toaccomplish a.purpose. Meaningfulart enriches life. Uhatever thecreative realization, the artist canonly invite participation. The valueof any art form must be derived fromthe imagination and perception of theviewer.

Mr. Kennard and Mr. Silvers have

designed many different kinds ofbuildings, such as churciv?s, factories,business offices, educational buildings,and private homes. Both men feel it isimportant to plan in all fields of

architecture. They believe an architectmust be willing to try new ideas so thathis work is always fresh and new. BothMt. Kennard and Mr. Silvers are registeredarchitects in the State of Californiaand members of the American Instituteof Architects and the California Councilof Architects.

STATEMENT

Architecture is the art and scienceof building. As a science,

architecture gives shelter and comfortto people in a practical and efficientway. As an art, the building must havethe spirit, the feeling of beauty, andthe hope of the people who live and workin it.

To become a registered architect takessix years of college and two to threeyears of apprenticeghip training; then,the passing of seven state exams.

Most architects are idealists. Theywant good ardhitecture for all people.Mbst do not become rich. Most do notbecome glamorous playboys or playgirls.Most avdhitects became one part of ateam which together draws and writesthe specifications for a building.Most ardhitects want their work to bevery good. Most never succeed. Sanekeep trying.

Maloofhas had one-man exhibitions of hiswork, and it also has been shown in anumber of other exhibitions here andin Europe. He has won many awards forhis outstanding work in design and

furniture making.

STATEMENT

As long as there are men who have notforgotten how to work with their hands,these craftsmen will keep alive thebright light of hope that began at thebeginning of civilization. In this.ime of automation and numbers, theindividual as an individual, is fastdisappearing. Most designers todaydesign for the machine, not for man.I find that designing for man as anindividual is more satisfying andrewarding. Craftsmen all over the world,alone or together, are trying by theirwork to find a more satisfying way oflife. They feel that life is more thanjust making money or being famous.

The designer and craftsman cannot,should not, be two different persons.Not only should man be a designer onpaper, but he also should be able touse his hands to make that which hehan designed. The end result is moreconvincing and pleasing when the sameperson is both the designer and thebuilder.

Man must have faith in himself, faithin his work, and faith in God, whogives each of us whatever talents wemay have. These talents are not oursalone, but ours to share with ourfellowmen. Emerson said, "I look onthe man as happy who, When there is aquestion of success, looks into hiswork for a reply."

Both Gertrud and Otto Natzler wereborn in Vienna, Austria. On a rainySunday in July, 1933, they "found"clay and eadh other. Five years later,they landed in Los Angeles as refugeesfrom fhe Nazis. They had only theirpotter's wheel and kiln with them.They still use the same wheel andkiln.

The Natzlers have taught themselvesabout working with clay. They spentless ehan a year in school learningabout "throwing" pots and how to glazeand fire fheir work. "We didn't alwaysknow what to do, but we did enjoyworking with clay. And so, we werenot afraid to try new ways andmaterials that those with more

knowledge probably would not havetried." Earth--Fire--Water becamethe impartAnt idAns nf their art.Gertrud's wanderful forms and Otto'sbeautiful glazes can be found todayin at least 50 museums. Their workhas been shom widely in Americaand many other countries.

The Natzlers always try to make aperfect piece of art. The perfectpiece of art has not been made, butfhe Natzlers will keep trying to

reach this goal.

STATEMENT

A pot can be very many things. Itcan be a purely utilitarian object,or it can be a work of art.

We are more interested in ehe artaspect. Our idea of art in potterycomprises:

Campetence of executionSimplicity of formFull use of the ceramic medium

"We believe in using our fantasy,inspiratian, emotion, and dreams,but also in restraint, whentranslating then into our work. Thereally perfect pot has not yet beenmade and probably never will be.Yet, we reach for perfection; and ifwe are fortunate, the next pot wemake may come closer to our visions.If it does, we shall be grateful."

BIOGRAPHY

Richard J. Neutra was born in April,1892, and is proud of his 75 years.He has an unruly lock of white hairand heavy black eyebrows. He feelsthe most important thing in his lifeis to save man from a terrible deathin ugly buildings and traffic jams.

Maybe some day soon his saying thatItspace is not to be measured with ayardstick" will be as important tofhe world as the ideas of Freud andEinstein. Both of these greatthinkers were his friends. They hadmuch to do with his thinking andplanning.

Mr. Neutra is honored as one of theworld's greatest architects and cityplanners. He is always thinking aboutthe need to plan for the future. Hespends much time traveling over theworld studying the problems of peopleliving together. It was Mr. Neutrawho planned for freewayr in ourcities. He had the idea forheliports to be on rooftops. Theshopping center without cars wasanother of his ideas. The greatcities of our modern world are theresult of the thinking and planningof men like Richard J. Neutra.

STATEMENT

The planner of the human setting--which is what an ardhitect or townplanner is--should be not a specialist,but a coordinator, a harmonist.Apart from knowing the basic 28trades in building, he must know thelife sciences as well--biology,physiology, psychology.

Man can lead a richer life in asmaller area Chan he thinks necessary.Space is not to be measured by ayardstick or figured in square feet,but by the richness of what oneexperiences in that space.

STATEMENT

What would be my advice to ayoungster who was interested in artas a career, or to one Who was justinterested in being a fine artpainter? I would say something likethis:

If a student is just interested inart--if he can possibly do without'it--do so. It's a hard, hard task-master, as you know, a very jealousmistress, and one that just doesn'tleave much roam for someone Who isonly interested.

If it is not possible for thisperson to do without art in sameform, or performance of art in sameform, I mould say Chat this is Chebest piece of advice Chat could begiven to such a person:

Spend the rest of your life--that is, all your waking hours--observing, really seeing,experiencing, and evaluatingall those things seen, observed,and experienced; and work to

develop a relationship withthese things and to communicatethese things for people, andfor posterity, or for "whathave you."

STATEMENT

Human Values thrmigh Art. I do notconsider myself an artist. I chooseto be thought of as one who isconstantly involved with making lifeand things. I draw with pencil andpaper occasionally. But I oftenpaint pictures, write poems, andtalk to people.

I do whatever else I need to do;sometimes of my own choice, andsometimes not. I keep my house asorderly as I can; myself too, bothinside and out. And, with freedomof choice and commitment toresponsibility, every person isenabled by every other, in an equalexchange.

Art is not art at all, unless it isan act that constitutes the act ofself-stylization.

NOTT: Art can cane from many sources.These art things have come from thediscards and wastes of a man-madeworld. They return to it as

messages concerning man and his life.You will need to look hard and thinkdeeply to grasp the messages. Thisis why we have artists. It took hardwork and struggle to produce them,and it is hard work to understand them.But, so it is, with most worthwhilethings.

I am interested in everything, butabove all, in Nature, for she is mygreatest teacher. Not merely fhevisual truth, as seen from theoutside only, but feeling for theunchanging laws of natural forms.By working hard, I might get aglimpse of self-enlightenment--then, art might be called a by-product.For creativity never can be pursued;rather, it comes to one who expectsnothing.

STATEMENT

In my work, I am concern.id formankind. I am concerned for expressingmore than the surface apr-art. ls;

that is, more than the w.y peoplelook. In addition to showing whatmankind looks like, I want to saysamething about mankind. Thus, I domany portraits. In my portraits, Itry to reach below surface appearancesand capture character. In nylandscapes, I try to relate man tohis environment, nature. In mystill-lifes, I still am concerned formankind, for I paint those things whichman uses to sustain himself (a pieceof bread, a glass of water), or toamuse himself (flawers), or to makehimself more comfortable.

STATEMENT

It is a glorious experience being anartist--to seek the meaning of truth,reality, and beauty; in short, tomeet the challenge of life throughone's sensitivities. For me, art isa very personal, inttmate,communicative affair. It is the mosttangible means of establishing rapportwith my fellow man and of relating tosociety with oneness of thinking andfeeling. My work strives to takeshape around images and ideas that arecentered within the vortex of the lifeexperience of a Negro. I look to thefountainhead of challenging ehemes andmonumental concepts. I strive to createan image that relates personally to allmankind and in which each man can seehis dreams and ideals mirrored withhope and dignity.
