ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR
Kunst + Interieur, a modern antique shop in the centre of The Hague houses some designs by Aldo van den Nieuwelaar. Probably they were his on the moment of his death. Most objects were lamps from the mid seventies.
Last time I visited, I was stopped by this large B/W picture. But that's ...
And I took this iPhone picture. This is how we got to know him in The KABK [Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten, in The Hague]
I always state he was one of my 'greatest' teachers. His approach to teaching was new then and is still interesting today.
Aldo died 23 september 2010 [wiki] still rather young, being born in 1944.
His circular tube lamp, which I bought some time in the late seventies is a iconic classic now.
ALL ABOUT FOOD [1]
These [short and dark] days are about food, so here's a number of reports about what feeds us.
Where to start?
FoodTube boasts it hosts the biggest and best collection of Dutch films about food on their website. Indeed, everything is clearly arranged and easy to use. Have a look!
Everything is arranged in clear channels: basic techniques, tests, reports and video recipes. Plus the ability to create your own video diary of your favorite dish, favorite restaurant or gourmet gathering upload.
There's also the possibility to request the food tube team to submit the recipe in a YouTube film.
There is also an international version. Not as goodlooking, but interesting when you want to see a certain country.

MATHEMUSICIAN = DROODLING
Vi Hart, who presents herself as a Mathemusician on YouTube does some awsome droodling. Once you catch up with the tempo of her talking and drawing, the lesson is simple and fascinating. You can droodle more focussed and you'll probably get quite into dicovering the laws Vi Hart lays out...
I know how I'm gonna spend my next boardmeeting.
Oh boy... She has some more breathtaking droodle principals to share with us... Watch also Stars!

DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN
"You have two brains: a left and a right. Modern brain scientists now know that your left brain is your verbal and rational brain; it thinks serially and reduces its thoughts to numbers, letters and words… Your right brain is your nonverbal and intuitive brain; it thinks in patterns, or pictures, composed of ‘whole things,’ and does not comprehend reductions, either numbers, letters, or words."
From; The Fabric of Mind, by the eminent scientist and neurosurgeon, Richard Bergland. Viking Penguin, Inc., New York 1985. pg.1
Betty Edwards invented Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. She thought up terms like: L-en R-modus modus... Read about it in the pretext of her book.
