• The Therapeutic Value of Poetry for Students and Readers

Reading poems and works of literature, or experiencing various art forms in general, and responding to them, does have therapeutic value that teachers can more effectively maximize in the classroom. Here, Williams explores the connection between poetry, therapy, and pedagogy for the purpose of aiding in student development and in positive social transformation. He discusses how teachers can encourage students to manage in effective ways the frustration they may feel when confronting difficult texts.

• Looking Back at 'Beyond' ; a Tightrope Walker, Interactive Installations, Videos and Haunting Portraits Are Among the Varied Art Forms That Are the Highlights of Beyond/in Western New York

Glancing back over the busy fall art season of 2010 -- a dizzying period of artistic activity more action-packed, diverse and popular than any in recent memory -- a nearly endless stream of remarkable moments crops up in my memory. There was a warm and hazy afternoon in late-September, when I propped myself against a building on Huron Street with a crowd of Buffalonians to watch as tightrope walker Didier Pasquette inched his way gracefully across a thin cable high atop the 23-story Liberty Building.

• Tradition

When people ask Passamaquoddy weaver Jeremy Frey what he does for a living, he simply says, I make baskets, and leaves the rest to their imagination. But to him, basket making is much more than a profession. Its a calling. Eight generations of family and cultural history that stretches back for hundreds of years guides every strand of ash he weaves. Making baskets of sweet grass and wood is one of the oldest art forms of North America, yet in the 90 years of the Santa Fe Indian Market the largest Indian art festival in the nation a basket maker had never earned the festivals top honors, the most prestigious award in the native arts world. That is until this year, when Frey traveled to New Mexico in August and entered a striking 18- inch-tall ash basket into the competition.

• By Judy Birke New Haven -- Of All the Art Forms, [Derived Headline]

By Judy Birke NEW HAVEN -- Of all the art forms, photography is the one that has probably changed the most in the last several decades. Ranging from straight documentary images, either film or digital, that reflect exactly what is seen, to those that are highly manipulated, a photography exhibit can be so many things. The current juried show of 20 photographs at Arts + Literature Laboratory brings together a group of 15 photographers of diverse interest. Having said that, this remains a modest show -- sound, but not terribly exciting, the works united only by their black-and- white color code.

• Tv, Comics Top List of Decade's Breakthrough Art Forms

Art almost always resists categorization. Movements, genres and styles are constantly resisting, colliding, dying and being born. Usually, it takes years, even decades, to make sense of exactly what happened. Still, looking back at the last century of popular art in America, it seems like every decade saw the flowering of one art form above and beyond the rest. Think jazz in the '20s, rock 'n' roll in the '60s, independent filmmaking in the '70s, hip-hop in the '80s.

• '2011 Psa Annual Exhibition' Keeps Up Tradition of Local Support

For 44 years, the Pittsburgh Society of Artists has maintained a strong presence in the local art scene, and its annual exhibit has been a major reason for that. The current iteration -- "2011 PSA Annual Exhibition" -- is on display at Fein Art Gallery on the North Side, and, as visitors will see, it reflects a trend toward digital media, and away from traditional forms of art-making. Case in point: two of the three top award-winning works are digital photographs.
