Volume
I Issue 6 Welcome Welcome to the sixth issue of the Arts4All Newsletter, our Innovation issue. Fiction has arrived! See Bedtime Stories, Paula K. Read's enigmatic tale of strangers marooned together. This is a story to be read, not described. In Part Two of Robert Metzger's biographical essay on Reuben Nakian. the artist makes a series of small ceramic works, builds the first of many monumental sculptures, and, after exploring industrial art-fabrication techniques, reaffirms his preference for "the human content, nobility" of the handmade. Rita Wissinger, a teacher and administrator in a rural public school system, spoke at length with interviewer Nancy K. Ford, touching on distance education, teenagers and their hair, brass quintets, Shakespeare and where they all meet, in her classrooms. In this month's Linkage Department, Michael Nicolella takes us on a tour that springs from a look at ex-Python John Cleese, and then spirals / staggers / moseys all over, after that. The magic of the Internet (with a little bit of real life thrown in), here and now. Last issue's education links are also here, for your clicking pleasure. Send your favorite links to the editor. Planning a trip to Sydney? On assignment to Berlin? Our Performance and Exhibition Schedules Department is growing rapidly. Bookmark this one, for easy reference.
