Fun with Kids for the Summer
Summer time can be a challenging time for parents staying home with their kids. Constantly taking them out to do things to keep them entertained can be exhausting and expensive. Use these tips to come up with creative ideas to keep your kids occupied without losing your mind or depleting your wallet.
1) Water is a parent’s and a kid’s best friend in the summer. A small pool is a lot of fun for kids looking for something to do. A sand and water table can provide a toddler with hours of productive play. On rainy days, you can even just let your child play in the bathtub or shower for a bit. Water guns are fun for children to play with together and a sprinkler is an easy way to entertain multiple kids while watering your lawn. Teach your kids about water safety every time that you take them to play in the water this summer so that everyone can relax and have fun together.
2) Another fun summer activity is tie dye. Let your kids tie dye old sheets, clothes and blankets in the yard. They’ll love to see how things come out and be entertained for a long time in the process. They’ll end up with pieces of art that they can wear and treasure for years to come. Get a good tie dye kit so that colors come out bright and vibrant. Experiment with different twists, rolls and rubber bands.
3) Painting is also a fun activity that can be enjoyed inside or outside during the summer. If your kids are messy, let them paint outdoors. You can use an easel or hang artwork on the fence or laundry line. Sidewalk chalk is also fun and can be used on your playground equipment, deck, or privacy fence. Let your kids get their creative juices flowing by creating the backyard of their dreams without hurting a thing.
4) Helping you around the house can also be a lot of fun. Let kids pick out different recipes to make together. Let them help you with cleaning the kitchen and bathroom in preparation for their art and recipe projects. Teach them how to “clean as you go” so that they associate the cleaning part of the job with the fun. Let them help with laundry and make it fun by letting them make a “warm nest” on your bed with the hot laundry from the dryer. Let them use their own <a href=”http://www.onlykidshangers.com”title=”Infant Hangers”>infant hangers</a>, baby hangers and children’s hangers to hang their own clothes.

A History of Pain: Trauma in Modern Chinese Literature and Film $22.65 The portrayal of historical atrocity in fiction, film, and popular culture can reveal much about the function of individual memory and the shifting status of national identity. In the context of Chinese culture, films such as Hou Hsiao-hsien’s City of Sadness and Lou Ye’s Summer Palace and novels such as Ye Zhaoyan’s Nanjing 1937: A Love Story and Wang Xiaobo’s The Golden Age collectively reimagine past horrors and give rise to new historical narratives.Michael Berry takes an innovative look at the representation of six specific historical traumas in modern Chinese history: the Musha Incident (1930); the Rape of Nanjing (1937-38); the February 28 Incident (1947); the Cultural Revolution (1966-76); Tiananmen Square (1989); and the Handover of Hong Kong (1997). He identifies two primary modes of restaging historical violence: centripetal trauma, or violence inflicted from the outside that inspires a reexamination of the Chinese nation, and centrifugal trauma, which, originating from within, inspires traumatic narratives that are projected out onto a transnational vision of global dreams and, sometimes, nightmares. These modes allow Berry to connect portrayals of mass violence to ideas of modernity and the nation. He also illuminates the relationship between historical atrocity on a national scale and the pain experienced by the individual; the function of film and literature as historical testimony; the intersection between politics and art, history and memory; and the particular advantages of modern media, which have found new means of narrating the burden of historical violence. As Chinese artists began to probe previously taboo aspects of their nation’s history in the final decades of the twentieth century, they created texts that prefigured, echoed, or subverted social, political, and cultural trends. A History of Pain acknowledges the far-reaching influence of this art and addresses its |

A Way Of Seeing And The Spiritual Search For Visual Truth In Painting $52.08 Artistic education is directed toward building foundational skills and knowledge in art, but it also influences the artist’s larger worldview. This study examines the role of artistic education in shaping individual artistic beliefs,attitudes, and personal philosophies among a small group of American painters. Its central focus is the common belief among artists that artmaking or aesthetic response to art can be a form of spiritual activity or experience leading to spiritual insight. This book traces the educational transfer and evolution of notions linking art and spirituality through four generations within a single school of painting. The primary data for this study is a series of in-depth oral history interviews with seven painters who studied with Henry Hensche at The Cape School of Art in Provincetown, MA, a summer school of American plein air painting that is linked with Impressionism.Charles W. Hawthorne, a painter who was a protégé of American Impressionist William Merritt Chase, founded the school in 1899. This book is addressed to artists, educators, and researchers who are interested in ways that spiritual ideas may be acquired and conveyed through education. |

Aino Folk-Tales $10.14 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:AINO FOLK-LORE. By Basil Hall Chamberlain. Prefatory Remarks. VISITED the island of Yezo for the third time in the summer of 1886, in order to study the Aino language, with a view to elucidate by its means the obscure problem of the geographical nomenclature of Japan. But, as is apt to happen on such occasions, the chief object of my visit soon ceased to be the only object. He who would team a language must try to lisp in it, and more especially must he try to induce the natives to chatter in it in his presence. Now in Yezo, subjects of discourse are few. The Ainos stand too low in the scale of humanity to have any notion of the civilised art of ” making conversation.” When, therefore, the fishing and the weather are exhausted, the European sojourner in one of their dreary, filthy seaside hamlets will find himself,—at least I found myself,—sadly at a loss for any further means of setting his native companions’ tongues in motion. It is then that fairy-tales come to the rescue. The Ainos would not suggest the idea themselves. To suggest ideas is not their habit. But they are delighted to follow it when suggested. Simply to repeat something which they have known by heart ever since the days of their childhood is not such an effort to their easily-tired brains as is the keeping up of a conversation with one who speaks their language imperfectly. Their tongues are at once loosened. In my own case, I found myself, after a short time, listening to the stories for their own sake,—notmerely as linguistic exercises ; and I ventured to include a few of them in the ” Memoir on the Ainos ” which was published a few months ago by the Imperial University of Japan. Some remarks in a review of this ” Memoir,” contained in Nature of the 12th May, 1887, have encouraged me to |
