Mandala Monday – The Sand Art of J.ben (Jehan-Benjamin)

Following last week’s theme of beach art by Michel Jobard (Mandala Monday -The Beach Art of Michel Jobard), I have found another artist, Jehan-Benjamin, also known as J.ben, whose sand art I would like to share with you.

First is a timelapse and photo montage of a beach sand art made on the French west coast.

Next is a video of a beach art workshop with students of the Lycée Rompsay of Rochelle. They each made their creation in circles in the 4 corners of the drawing.

To learn more about J.ben see his website at: http://www.jbenart.com

TED Talk Thursday – Frans Lanting: Photos that give voice to the animal kingdom

According to TED.com: “Nature photographer Frans Lanting uses vibrant images to take us deep into the animal world. In this short, visual talk he calls for us to reconnect with other earthly creatures, and to shed the metaphorical skins that separate us from each other.”

“Frans Lanting is one of the greatest nature photographers of our time. His work has been featured in National Geographic, Audubon andTime, as well as numerous award-winning books. Lanting’s recent exhibition, The LIFE Project, offers a lyrical interpretation of the history of life on Earth”

Enjoy!

For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”
