ARE YOU THE NEW BANKSY? – WINNERS ANNOUNCED

'Are You the New Banksy?' is the first creative collaboration between Learning Curve (Adobe Gold Partner in Education) and one small seed. This competition challenged students to create an iconic artwork that is fresh and relevant to contemporary South African popular culture. Like the work of Banksy, part of the competition brief required that entries included a message significant to today's cultural, socio-political or economic climate. In December 2010 the winners were revealed. Check out issue 21 of one small seed to find out who these up-and-coming artists are and to see their inspirational work.

Fake Swimming Pool by Leandro Erlich

In one of the courtyards of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a swimming pool framed by a limestone deck. When seen from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water. In fact, however, a layer of water only some 10 centimeters deep is suspended over transparent glass. Below the glass is an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers can enter.

The Swimming Pool was designed by Buenos Aires artist Leandro Erlich in 2004.

Technology in the classroom

It's not uncommon for educators to use student response systems (SRS) to engage their students and assess learning through polls, quizzes and other interactive tools. Most such systems rely on specialized devices known as “clickers,” however, and they're also typically expensive and difficult to use without training. Enter Top Hat Monocle, a Canadian company that has developed a system in which students can use the portable devices they already have, including cell phones, laptops and iPods.
