Occupy Wall St Posters

Occupy Wall Street and the global Occupy Movement have inspired some striking artwork. Graphic artists from around the world (including Shepard Fairey mentioned here earlier today) have contributed their talents to the movement. Many of their posters are available for free or at low cost, either directly from the artist or through organizations like Occuprint and OccupyTogether. You can post them in your town.
New Yorker cover artist and book illustrator Eric Drooker has created several beautiful posters, including the one above. You can download a high-resolution copy suitable for printing at OccupyTogether.org.

The noted Los Angeles graphic artist, cartoonist and radio personality Lalo Alcaraz created this parody of the toppling of the Saddam Hussein statue in Baghdad for Occupy Los Angeles. In a message on his website, Alcaraz invites people to distribute the image.

Alexandra Clotfelter is a student of advertising design and illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. Since donating her design, “The Beginning is Near,” to Occuprint.org, it has become one of the most popular posters to emerge from the movement. In response to requests, Clotfelter is offering a high-quality Giclee print for sale, with a portion of the profits going to support Occuprint’s project of distributing free posters worldwide.

In this poster, Zucotti Park is portrayed as the “Tip of the Iceberg.” Indeed, the Occupy movement extends to places like Lawrence, Kansas, where muralist, printmaker and writer Dave Loewenstein is based. Loewenstein’s design is available for free at Occuprint.org.

Poster artist Rich Black of Berkeley, California created this image for Occupy Oakland. It’s available for free download at Occuprint.org.
To see a variety of Occupy posters by other artists (and to download them for free) you can visit Occuprint.org and OccupyTogether.org.

Nasa Astronaut's Photography Manual

If it’s good enough for astronauts, it’s good enough for you: someone on metafilter found NASA/Hasselblad’s photography guide for astronauts, which doubles as an instruction manual for the space Hasselblad. It’s actually a not half bad introduction to the basics of photography, including exposure, focus, depth of field, the effects of different focal lengths, and composition. Guys who had no training in photography beyond this little booklet took some of the most striking and recognizable photos ever. Of course, it’s easier to make great photos when you have a camera angle that only a dozen people have ever had access to.

Blogs for teachers will soon be moved

At the end of the summer holidays, all my teaching blogs will be moving over to the sister blog: http://mrlaulearning.blogspot.com 

This is for simplicity and so that each of my blogs has a clear target audience and focus.

MrLauTest: Will remain the blog for students (excuse the terrible name, it started out as a test account!)

MrLauLearning: Will be the new blog for teachers, educators, researchers who are interested in my classroom practice from a teacher's point of view

A2, the plan for 2011

Most of you will have figured that you need to go on at least 3 or 4 shoots, often re-shooting due to lighting, sound, camera work etc. Please do not simply plan on doing one shoot in Feb. Your grade will suffer heavily if this occurs. I would aim to be shooting at least once a week before now and the 16 Feb, loading footage into Final Cut every week and so you can check your footage, storyline and re-shoot where necessary. Shooting in half term will simply not allow you enough time to edit.


Ziad, Ava, Hana and Mia. Come and see me as I don’t think you have a tripod yet, which clearly means you haven’t started filming yet. You won’t be able to film without a tripod.
