Angiola Churchill's Variations In A Square
Angiola Churchill (b. 1922, New York City, NY) is a professor emeritus of New York University and the former Head and Chair of the Department of Art and Arts Professions – 1975-2005. She was the founder/director of the New York University Studio art program in Venice, Italy – 1974-2006; and co-director of ICSA, the International Center for Advanced Studies in Art, 1970-1980. Churchill has also pursued a successful career as an artist exhibiting both in the United States and abroad. Since 1953, she has had 60 solo shows in America and elsewhere in such prestigious spaces as the Museo di Palazzo Fortuni, Venice, Italy; Palazzo di Diamonti, Ferrara, Italy; Palazzo Reale, Naples, Italy; Palazzo Ducale, Mantua, Italy; Neuberger Museum of Art, State University of New York, Purchase, New York; In addition she has participated in more than 54 group shows, biennials and art fairs. Churchill is often associated with monumental installations executed in paper. These environments, which consist of undulating and rhythmic patterns, are inspired by natural forms. Their layered parts hanging freely in space are infused with direct and diffused light creating opaque and transparent passages as well as a play of light and shadow effects. The metaphor of the garden has been a central focus of this work resulting in a series of idyllic spaces for contemplation and meditation. Another genre pursued by Churchill utilizing paper are drawings again influenced by nature as well as a sophisticated and profound knowledge of the various aspects and directions of modernist art, particularly abstraction. These have been shown in a way that exploits the transparent qualities of her media as well as in series occupying entire walls.

Faith Ringgold: Artist & Activist
Faith Ringgold on fighting to get women and African-American artists into museums and the power of art.
Faith Ringgold is one of America's most gifted and generous visual storytellers. Ringgold is best known for the painted story quilts in which she draws on African American folklore tradition, often to dramatize—to humanize—institutional and national histories. Ringgold was born in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance and became a leader in the Black Arts movement and women's arts movement, organizing protests against major museums for excluding works of black and women artists. In 1971, Ringgold co-founded Where We At, a black women artists group. In 1991 Ringgold became an author, with the publication of Tar Beach, the winner of multiple awards and the first of more than a dozen books. A Professor Emerita of the University of California, San Diego, Faith Ringgold lives and works in Englewood, New Jersey.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
