The top site has to do with a film about Japanese soldiers.
The second site is about ukiyo-e wood-cut prints of Sino-Japanese war
Of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905 are usually
Called War Prints by collectors. What you wrote sounds Japanese.
Maybe this can be a starting point for a search.

Dear Teacher Art Exchange Members,
Kimberly is unable to get her post to come through. She will be doing
A presentation on Artsonia at the Illinois Art Ed Conference.
From Kimberly
Hello everyone,
I just got notice that my presentation proposal for the 2006 IAEA
Conference was accepted! I'm very excited but also very nervous. I
Have never presented at a conference before.
My presentation is all about the Artsonia and its many advantages. If
Any of you have suggestions on presenting at conferences I would love
To hear from you. I could also use some suggestions, comments, tips
And tricks, etc. From all you Artsonia teachers. I know you're out
There; what positive feedback have you gotten for your participation
In Artsonia. Do you have any suggestions for what I should include in
my presentation. Maybe you have the best/fastest way to go about
publishing work to Artsonia, getting others to help out with the
program or getting the word out about your Artsonia gallery. I would
greatly appreciate you sharing any of those or others.
Well, I had better get to work. Wish me luck on my first-ever
conference presentation.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Butts

Harold,
Thanks for sharing what you are learning at the tech show. Wish I
was there. The websites are just what I've been looking for to take
digital photo to a multimedia art experience. Keep up the great reports!

Beth,
Yes! His name is Do-Ho Suh and he is a South Korean artist active in
Germany and the US. He was in the 2001 Venice Bienale representing
Korea and is in Art 21 Season 2. There was an AMAZING exhibition of
his work at the Seattle Art Museum - you can find info at
http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/exhibit/exhibitDetail.asp?
WHEN=PAST&eventID=2917
Also, there is a lot of information on him when you Google his name.
His work uses a variety of media including dog tags, small army men
(holding up a thick pierce of plexi you can walk) on, and silk, among
others.

I saw this on CNN a couple of days ago and I'm
surprised that no one is talking about this on this
list, so I thought I would bring it to your attention
in case you hadn't heard about it.
The story is about Tamara Hoover an art teacher in
Austin who has been fired over some photos of her that
were posted online.
Here's a link to the article.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/16/naked.teacher.ap/index.html
I'll be interested to hear what you all have to say
about this. I'm a first year teacher and I have some
gender based work that isn't appropriate for my
students (elementary level) to see, so I'm curious as
to whether or not this is going to be an issue, or has
been an issue for other teachers.
One thing that I found especially interesting was the
"higher moral standard" expected of elementary
teachers. Apparently there is a "moral turpitude"
clause in the language of the teacher's contracts in
Austin that is at the crux of the matter.
I wonder if there be as much of an issue if these were
photos that she took of someone else, or is it that
she's a female teacher and the photos are of her?
Just wondering what you thought and if you've ever had
problems with your art work conflicting with your role
as an art teacher.

If she were a university art professor it wouldn't be
an issue.

My husband has long laughed at me over these last 30 years because I have
minded my p's and q's to the extent that I will not even go into a liquor
store and buy liquor lest someone in the community see me coming out with a
case of beer for him, since I don't even drink!. I used to teach in the
community in which I live (for the last 20 years my job is 12 miles from
where I live). I believe that no matter what you may think, you will always
be seen as "little suzy's" art teacher. I believe that there are those
people who will think I am looney enough by the way I dress, and the way I
teach, that anything as innocent as buying a case of beer can make the
rounds of the neighborhood to change me into an alcoholic in the cultural
game of "telephone". Now fast forward to the art teacher in Austin who had
nude pix of herself on the web. My husband and I discussed it. We needed
more information. Are these part of an art statement? Are these private
photos? Are these revenge photos (i.e. posted by an ex?) If these are part
of a larger art statement, is the statement evident, are the photos in
context? Did she in fact sign a contract that had a moral stipulation? I
would think it would be hard for her to teach after the revelation of the
photos, whether art or not, because people (young and old alike) will always
be looking at her with xray glasses.
just my random thoughts

Chris,
I heard of this too and was thinking of raising the issue.
I don't think she should be fired as long as she did not tell the
students that the pictures of her were on line. But this is an example
of how people may be putting too much personal info on the web without
thinking about who is looking. This case also reflects the direction
our country is heading in these days.
There are many college art professors that are doing gender based work
and exploring all kinds of sexual imagery. It seems that in college it
is OK but not in a K-12 environment. I understand that if K-12
students come across "naked pictures of their teacher" it could create
quite a stir in a k - 12 situation. One could argue that it interferes
with education but teachers do have rights outside of the school
environment and those rights should be protected.
This case could wind up going to the Supreme Court.

"back in the day" i had to take "teachers and the
law", one of the best courses and best profs i've ever
experienced. if this is the full story and she was a
truly a good teacher being unfairly persecuted because
of her personal, private activities i'd contribute to
her defense and simultaneously advise her to flee such
a repressive, backwards environment. there are places
close to me that still ban books! eeks. i believe
one of the cases we studied in class involved an
elementary teacher being dismissed because she was
visibly pregnant and that, at the time, was considered
immoral or something; teachers in that condition were
expected to stay home and away from impressionable
young minds?!? on the flip side, i acknowledge that
*i* live in the real world, and am pretty darned
careful about what i share publicly. i guess i love
my job more than pretending i have absolute freedom.
sad, but true.

This issue was talked about pretty extensively on the
art education list. The issue developed when she and
another art teacher had an arguement over art
equipment. The other art teacher was complaining to
students and the students told her that if she really
wanted to get even with Ms. Hoover that she should
tell about the photos online.
The photos were various nude/topless casual
shots..some involving her and her girlfriend, who was
also the photographer, together. One was of them
together in the tub. They were all posted by the
girlfriend. So, the other art teacher had the students
show her the photos from her classroom computer and
then told the administration about the photos. Ms.
Hoover was removed from her classroom and told that
she was no longer an efficient teacher- despite being
recognized by the school board recently for being an
outstanding teacher.
I think that she was wrong for not thinking more
clearly about public opinion and her position as a
teacher. BUT the what is really getting me here is the
other art teacher who viewed the photos and used them
to get even -all with students involved in the
process.
i found all this out by typing in tamara hoover in
google and then following the trail from there. it is
just a sad story to me from beginning to end. - Mikel

I taught a high school graphic design course last year
and had the students alter an existing logo for a food
product.
The students had to research the benefits and
disadvantages of the product and use that data and
data on the corporation that produced/sold the product
to inform their altered logo design.
The result in many cases was a
tongue-in-cheek/satirical twist in the re-illustration
of the of the logo. One student researched a popular
orange soda and found that the consumption of soda can
make one bones brittle. The log then took on a
brittled, cracking , fissure filled appearance and the
color shifted to a more neutral palette.
This was a great lesson and students at the middle
school level could pull thi project off.
