There is, it could be argued, an enormous symbolic capital invested in the belief that it is artistic practice that informs the pedagogy of artists who teach. Despite the apparent tendency for artists to reproduce stylistic character in their students and apprentices, this paper argues that the instructional relations between student and artist teacher are driven by art educational convention r...

purpose student circus artists train as both artists and athletes with their bodies holding the key to professional success. the daily training load of student circus artists is often associated with maximum physical and psychological stress with injuries posing a threat to a potential professional career. the purpose of this study is the differentiated analysis and evaluation of work accidents...

Copy Summary: Repetitions that are distributed over time benefit long‐term retention more than when massed. Recent research has suggested that the advantage of spacing may extend to induction learning–learners were better able to identify the artists of previously unseen paintings when, during training, artists’ paintings were spaced (paintings by different artists were interleaved) rather than...

Geoffrey Miller has hypothesized that producing artwork functions as a mating display. Here we investigate the relationship between mating success and artistic success in a sample of 236 visual artists. Initially, we derived a measure of artistic success that covered a broad range of artistic behaviors and beliefs. As predicted by Miller's evolutionary theory, more successful male artists had m...

Tracks of small animals are important in environmental surveillance, where pattern recognition algorithms allow species identification of the individuals creating tracks. These individuals can also be seen as artists, presented in their natural environments with a canvas upon which they can make prints. We present tracks of small mammals and reptiles which have been collected for identification...

There is a wide variety of work being done by artists working both in conventional genres such as Music, Dance and Theatre as well as newly emergent hybrid and innovative forms such as real-time animation and physically distributed and telematic performance. I want to build up a picture both of what technical resources artists are employing – and to what effect technology is being used; what th...
