*****I have some great perks available for anyone that’s interested in supporting me in this effort, and if you can’t support the project financially, I’d love it if you helped to spread the word and tell your friends about it.

USA Projects is a community where America’s artists and those that love and support them can share their latest work, discover new artists, enter into a dialog with each other, and make direct donations (of any size, all of which are tax deductible) to new projects created by each artist. This is the first website in our knowledge that allows direct public donations between art patrons and accredited artists on the Internet.

Thank you for your support and interest!

Thinking about which piece to donate to the Save the Arts benefit.  It is hard to believe that the arts program in Los Angeles will be decimated next year.  You can support the arts too...  www.savethearts.net

♦ Line: 7 Elements of Art. Jane Castillo Glenview, IL: Crystal Productions, 2008. Full color, paperback.
Line: 7 Elements of Art is the first book in a series of seven written by Jane Castillo. Castillo has created a simplified version of the elements of art. Great for the elementary classroom, it helps students to learn in an easy-to-understand format. The images of artworks include photographs and installations from various contemporary artists throughout the world. Minimal text is needed for the bold and colorful images chosen of some of today’s hottest artists and photographers. Students and teachers can use this text as an introduction to a lesson on line––an “I Spy” version of finding different types of line in various images––from straight lines to wavy lines and dotted lines too.

Pizarro: Art project show's off community's lineage

Southern California artist Castillo, whose recent work can be seen at downtown San Jose's MACLA gallery, has a new project on display that has deep community roots.

During a two-week residency with MACLA, she worked with students from Mount Pleasant and Notre Dame high schools, as well as residents from the nearby William/Reed Corridor neighborhood, to create "Bloodlines."

Castillo worked with the students and neighbors to embroider their last names on red fabric, which will be woven in the trees across South First Street from MACLA. Seen together, the names provide a striking visual impression of the community's rich diversity.

It's certainly turning heads, and I've heard that one recent visitor wondered if Christo, the artist who did the "Gates" project in New York's Central Park, was in town. Nope, it's all Castillo and the community.

There will be a public reception for the piece at 3 p.m. today at Parque de los Pobladores, across the street from MACLA, which is at 510 S. First St.
