Book Synopsis Teaching the Arts Behind Bars by : Rachel Marie-Crane Williams
Download or read book Teaching the Arts Behind Bars written by Rachel Marie-Crane Williams and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2003 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's two million incarcerated men, women, and youth live in a hidden, isolated world filled with depression, anxiety, hostility, and violence. But the nation's soaring prison population has not been forgotten by a dedicated network of visual artists, writers, poets, dancers, musicians, and actors who teach the arts in correctional settings. This anthology compiles the narratives of several accomplished arts-in-corrections teachers who share their personal experiences, philosophies, and bittersweet anecdotes, as well as practical advice, survival skills, and program evaluation guidelines. Teaching the Arts Behind Bars is an invaluable tool for artists, program administrators, and corrections professionals, and a testament to the power of creative expression in promoting communication, positive social interaction, inner healing, and self-esteem.

Book Synopsis Cellblock Visions by : Phyllis Kornfeld
Download or read book Cellblock Visions written by Phyllis Kornfeld and published by . This book was released on 1997-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with quotes from men and women prisoners and Kornfeld's own anecdotes, Cellblock Visions shows how these artists, most of them having no previous training, turn to their work for a sense of self-worth, an opportunity to vent rage, or a way to find peace. We see how the artists deal with the cramped space, limited light, and narrow vistas of their prison studios, and how the security bans on many art supplies lead them to ingenious resourcefulness, as in extracting color from shampoo and weaving with cigarette wrappers. Kornfeld covers the traditional prison arts, such as soap carving and tattoo, and devotes a major section to painting, where we see miniatures depicting themes of alienation and escape, idyllic landscapes framed by bars, portraits of women living in a fantasy world, large canvasses filled with erotic and religious symbolism and violent action. The brief, vivid biographies of each artist portray that individual's experience of crime, prison, and art itself.
Book Synopsis Prisoners' Inventions by : Angelo (prisoner.)
Download or read book Prisoners' Inventions written by Angelo (prisoner.) and published by Whitewalls. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that your house spans six by nine feet, your mattress is just two inches thick, you are known to your neighbors by an identification number, and items most consider crucial to everyday existence are outlawed. How do inmates in prisons like this throughout the United States make such lives bearable? In 2001, the artists' collective Temporary Services asked an incarcerated artist named Angelo to share with them the ways in which inmates adapt to their confinement. Angelo responded with over one hundred pages of meticulously detailed ink drawings and text. The resulting compilation, Prisoners' Inventions, is a unique guide to prison life, covering subjects ranging from how to cook a grilled cheese sandwich in a locker to how to chill a soda using a toilet. Many of the documented items--such as cigarette lighters, condoms, even alarm clocks--are considered contraband, and Angelo includes anecdotes describing their creation and use. Already featured in Playboy, Harper's, Le Monde, and on This American Life, Prisoners' Inventions provides powerful testimony to life "on the inside" as it is endured by over two million individuals in the United States alone.

Download or read book Art Inside Prison written by Dennis Sobin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF... ● You want accurate information and insight from someone who spent ten years in prison ● You ever wanted to know how art is made in prison and the challenges faced by men and women prisoners who create it against all odds. ● You are an art lover who is considering taking the next step beyond admiring prisoner-made art and helping support and encourage imprisoned artists. ● You want to see an improved justice system in America to help those in prison obtain materials and opportunities to use art for therapeutic and rehabilitative purposes. ● You are a socially aware person who knows the value of art in keeping the mind and soul intact even during the worst of times that prisoners in America endure. ● You are considering becoming a mentor to imprisoned artists to encourage and help them overcome the challenges and obstacles they face in making and selling art to cover their expenses and create savings for the future. Author Dennis Sobin spent 10 years in federal and state prisons when he refused to plead guilty and accept probation for crimes he did not commit. But he didn't despair while in prison. He used his time to create art and to plan his return to society where he would establish the Prisons Foundation, Safe Streets Arts Foundation, Prison Art Gallery and the Rehabilitation Foundation, ultimately receiving recognition for his accomplishments at the John F. Kennedy Center. Author of the highly praised book, From Prison to Kennedy Center Stage: Starting over at the Top, Sobin's Art on the Inside highlights the talent and humanity of the many fine artists in prison today. Sobin says, "Without the help of free-world people to encourage and support my work during my ten years of imprisonment, I would not have survived with my soul and mind intact."

Download or read book Insider Art written by Matthew Meadows and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What I hope this timely and fascinating book does is to take the reader beyond the lurid interest in art by society's outcasts, to discovering the hugely positive role art plays in prison life - Grayson Perry. This is a book on the artwork produced by 'insiders' i.e. prisoners and ex-inmates of Her Majesty's Prison Service. The book is laid out as an art catalogue. It starts with an essay on the whole principle of teaching art in prisons, and about how it can help with rehabilitation. It profiles (in words and images) many of the prisoners or ex-inmates in depth, talking about the difference art has made to their lives. This is followed by a gallery of artwork done by prisoners from all over the UK. This fascinating book looks at how prisoners react to or deal with difficult issues and their situation through art, offering a glimpse into their world, often with anecdotes and personal stories alongside the artworks.
