Air Jordan I

Designed by Peter Moore and released in 1985, the Air Jordan I is considered a watershed in basketball shoe design[citation needed], although its design was improved upon later with the Nike Dunk. The shoe gained much initial publicity and interest when the National Basketball Association banned it, saying that its vibrant black and red color violated the league's design rules. Michael Jordan is also said to have not cared much for the first Air Jordan, saying the red and black colorway looked like "devil shoes"[citation needed]. Nonetheless, other shoe companies scrambled to emulate the design, with some even introducing direct knock-offs.
In 1994, the white/black-red and black/red colorways were retroed and sold very poorly[citation needed]. Many went on sale for as low as $20 in stores[citation needed]. When the I's were retroed again in 2001, they sold out instantly.
In 2007 new re-retro I's will release, one of which will be a "Beginning Moments Package" (BMP) or "Old Love, New Love" that will include a re-retro of the extremely rare white/black-red black-toe colorway.[citation needed]
The first sightings of the Air Jordan I occurred on November 17, 1984 in a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers.[citation needed] The first colors unveiled were the banned black/red design, due to a violation within the leagues policy regarding its lack of the color white. It was announced later that Nike would release them to the public the following spring.[citation needed]
[edit] Air Jordan IIDesigned by Eric Huber of King's College, the Air Jordan II debuted in 1986 to limited popularity because of its expensive 100 dollar price tag. But the shoe was still unique because it sported Italian leather and faux lizard skin on the side of the shoe. In a game against Golden State, Michael Jordan broke his ankle while wearing the Air Jordan II's, which led many to think the II's were the cause of the accident. In addition, the soft midsole would crack easily and the shoes would be thrown out. This was the last Air Jordan to feature the Wings logo on it. Intrestingly, this was the only Air Jordan not to be originally made in all black.
The II also had poor sales when retroed in 1994-1995,but when the white/black-red colorway was re-retroed in 2001 the demand was much greater. Since then more re-retros have released including a black suede colorway.
[edit] Air Jordan IIIDesigned by Tinker Hatfield the Air Jordan III was truly revolutionary. It was the first Air Jordan to feature a visible air unit on the heel, the new Jumpman logo, an elephant print trim, and tumble leather for a luxury look. The III's are also famous for the humorous ads depicting Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon.
The III's had poor sales when first retroed in 1994. However when they were re-retroed they sold out instantly. A pair of these online can go for sale for prices over 300 dollars. In 2007 the long awaited "Fire Red" III's were released in March of 2007.
Michael Jordan has reportedly said the III's were and still are his favorite Air Jordans to date.
In 2007, Jordan brand will collaborate with director Spike Lee to release a limited pair of III's in a special colorway to resemble the Do The Right Thing movie poster.
Also in 2007, the "retro'ed" version of the Jordan III's came in the exclusive colorway in solid black and solid white. Which meant black for black cat which was his nickname and white for pure money which was another nickname.
[edit] Air Jordan IVThe Air Jordan IV shoe was first released in 1989, designed once again by Tinker Hatfield. It wasn't as revolutionary as the first three models, but it still became the first released Jordan shoe on the world market, with some exceptions. Its cushioning sole and design made it an international bestseller.
Spike Lee, the director/actor who helped in the ad campaign for the Air Jordan III, created the famous Can/Can't TV commercial. He also gave them promotion in his movie Do The Right Thing. A classic scene in the movie for Jordan fans has a person who has his new AJ IVs scuffed by a bicycle rider and goes crazy about it. He places his shoe on a fire hydrant and cleans it with a toothbrush.
The shoe was retroed in 1999 in a white/black colorway and a black/cement colorway. Stores were sold out of IVs within hours of release. However, when Nike (or Jordan Brand) released the first Retro+ model of the IVs, many claimed that they "destroyed a classic" by removing the nets on the shoe, among some other subtle changes. The real Jordan IV has the "NIKE AIR" logo on the back. Nike replaced it with the Jumpman logo. Rapper Slick Rick has stated that he will purchase the entire retro line released this year.
In 2006 Nike released many Retro packages of the IV, including "Mars Blackmons" ("Red" IV's with Spike Lee's alter ego on the heel), "Military Blues", and the $500 "Thunder and Lightning" package.
[edit] Air Jordan VThe original Air Jordan V was released in February 1990. Again designed by Hatfield, and like his other designs, this was again truly revolutionary. Some elements were the same from the Air Jordan IV, but the V's most distinctive feature is arguably its reflective tongue. There was also another innovation: clear rubber soles. The soles gave the shoe a whole new and unique look, but it quickly turned yellow in reaction to water. Collectors' responses to this was storing the shoes in a cool, dry place with a desiccant at the soles, most commonly silica packs. The Jordan V also came with lacelocks, making strapping on easy.
Hatfield is rumored to have drawn inspiration for the AJV from the World War II Mustang fighter plane; easily seen in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole. The V was retroed in 2000 to great demand, including a new colorway featuring Michael Jordan's high school (Laney High) colors. In 2006 several re-retro V's had released including the very popular "Grape" V's, and the "Fire-Red" V's. Along with the latter, a very limited laser design and the black/metallic/fire red colorways were released in early 2007.
The Air Jordan V's can also be seen in NBC's The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, when Will Smith is spinning in the chair in the opening credits and he is also wearing the White/Fire Red V's during the Banks family's formal dinner invite in the very first episode of the hit sitcom.He is also seen wearing the Grape V's when his friend "Ice Tray" visits him from Philadelphia.
On another note, the Air Jordan 5's were a top seller. More 5's made than any other pairs of Jordans. The Jordan V is considered the best design and structure to actually wear during games
[edit] Air Jordan VIThe Air Jordan VI was released in late 1990 early 1991
Tinker had created another instant classic. The shoe features a rubber tongue with has two holes in it which the bearer can easily put the shoes on. The clear soles and the lace locks were brought back from the Air Jordan V. If you look at the shoe at a side angle you can see the figure 2 standing up on the back of the shoe and the figure 3 lying down facing the ground close to the laces.
The Air Jordan 6 was the shoe Jordan wore when he won his first championship.
The shoe was retrod in 3 color ways in 2000. The first was the Olympic color way for Ray Allen when he represented USA in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The second new color way featured a white upper and navy blue accent. The third was the black and deep infa red.
In 2006 a black and gold color way was released along with the Air Jordan XI named the defining moments package(DMP) representing when Jordan won his first championship and his first championship returning to the NBA from his baseball career in the MLB.
[edit] Air Jordan VIIThe Air Jordan VII was released in late 1991 early 1992.
Tinker Hatfield created a shoe with lots of similarities with the previous model. What was unique with the VII's was that they used some of the Nike Huarache technology to create a shoe that really stuck to your foot. The visible air sole, the Nike Air logo, and the yellowing soles all were gone.
When Jordan went to the Olympics with the Dream Team, Nike released a special Olympic color combo of the VII's. This model also featured Jordan's Olympic jersey number, 9 which made it very special since all of the previous models that featured his jersey number had always been either stitched or printed with the number 23.
Various retros of the Air Jordan VII were released in 2002, again in 2004, and again in different colors in 2006.
[edit] Air Jordan VIIIThe Air Jordan VIII was released in 1992/93.
The eighth model of the Air Jordan was one heavy shoe. Its base was clearly close to its predecessor but it had a lot more details, and some die hard collectors came to call this the flower-power Air Jordan. The VIIIs are also commonly know as the "Bunnys" due to the fact that the commercial featured Bugs Bunny. This shoe was only made in three different color combinations. The shoes were produced in less quantity than the VII. The Air Jordan VIII is to be re-retroed again in the fall of 2007 in its aqua and black/red color along with a navy and orange and a white and orange colorway.

[edit] Air Jordan IXOriginally released in November 1993, the IX was the first Jordan release after his retirement. It was also made as a baseball cleat that MJ used during his post-Bulls baseball days.
The white/black version was worn by MJ for one scene in the 1996 movie Space Jam.
Like the Air Jordan VIIs, and VIIIs, the IXs feature an inner sock sleeve and nubuck accents. The sole features different symbols and languages of different countries.
The Air Jordan IX has been immortalized as the shoe chosen to adorn Jordan's feet for his statue outside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
[edit] Air Jordan XWhat Michael wore when he returned in 1995 before switching to the XI's in the playoffs, the Xs included a full grain leather upper, with a solid rubber out sole. They also sported a quick lacing system with Michael Jordan's previous accomplishments on the outsole. There were multiple colorways released for different large cities across the United States. The original colorway, white/steel grey/black featured an extra piece of leather on the toe for more durability. MJ however did not like this so Nike removed it on future colorways.This was the one sneaker that Michael did not fully approve of, this is probably because Tinker designed it and had it made while Michael was still playing baseball.

[edit] Air Jordan XIThe Air Jordan XI is one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time and one of the most sought after sneakers of all time. These were the shoes Jordan wore during his first return to basketball during the 1995-1996 season. Air Jordan XI was first spotted on Jordan's feet during the playoffs in which the Bulls were eliminated by Shaq and Penny Hardaway's Orlando Magic. At the time, Jordan wore number 45, which was the number he wore playing baseball, instead of number 23, so the very first Jordan XI had number 45 at the heel. They were never released to the public and were extremely hard to find because a season later Jordan switched back to 23. They revolutionized all basketball shoes with the use of patent leather and a carbon-fiber shank; no one had ever seen so much technology in a basketball shoe prior to the XI. The originally-released Air Jordan XI only had 3 colorways, the white/black/concord (Regular season), the white/ice blue (All Star Game) and the black/red (Playoff). Another interesting point about Air Jordan XI was that, for the first time since Air Jordan II, Nike released the low-cut version of Air Jordan. Rumors had it that Air Jordan XI low was created because Jordan hurt his ankle during the regular season and was unable to wear high-cut sneakers. In fall of 2000, Nike had re-released the retro version of the Air Jordan XI (officially dubbed Air Jordan XI Retro) but had made them slightly different from the previous release.
First, the retro's toe was far less likely to crease and was much stiffer. The patent leather was glossier and the arch on the shoe was more inclined and less flat. Many argue that the retro version is superior to the original. Additionally, the Retro had unique colors that were never released originally including the Space Jam version of the shoe which sold out in a matter of hours at most stores.
They are also the most illegally copied shoes in the market, with as much as 1/3 of all Air Jordan XI's sold on eBay being fakes, many of them coming from China. Fakes of the Air Jordan XI usually have a hard mid-sole (it is supposed to be soft or at least semi-firm), a low or barely visible arch on the mid-foot, and a disfigured checkered pattern on the bottom of the shoe. Many of these fakes lack cushioning and can be quite uncomfortable to walk in. A first sign to tell that the shoes are fake is to look for the box that it came in. The box should match the shoe exactly with the ID number on the box matching the ID number on the shoe. Often the box is not even a Jordan box or one that is too big or too small for the shoe with no barcode.
[edit] Air Jordan XIIThis sleek edition was issued in several colors: red and black, white and obsidian, black and white and in low top style, dark blue and cream white and one of the most sought after XII: the white/red color. These are the first led lightingAir Jordans on the Jordan Brand and did not feature the Nike logo anywhere on the shoe itself. The VII-XI still retained the Nike air logo on the insole. It was also the first to use Zoom Air cushioning. The Air Jordan XII was the shoe that Jordan wore through the 1996-97 season including his renowned performance in the fifth game of the 1997 NBA Finals. With the flu, Jordan scored 38 points including a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left to put away the game, after which he was carried off the court by teammate Scottie Pippen. They were featured in a Christmas episode of Martin Lagot ka isususmbong kita

[edit] Air Jordan XIIIThe Air Jordan XIII's, from 1997/1998, are some of Mled lightingichael Jordan's favorite shoes. They have very good cushioning along with breathability. This was the same time MJ announced his retirement from the NBA for the second time. They were designed again by Hatfield. Also they were re-released in 2005 at about the same time the XX came out.
The shoes were inspired by a black panther, which is known for its stealth and swiftness. The shoe itself somewhat resembles the paw of a panther with pods that represent the paws of a panther. This provided more coverage and support on the basketball court. A hologram is featured on the outer heel of the shoe which changes color as the viewer moves around the shoe, as well as reflect light. This represents the eyes of the panther in the dark.
[edit] Air Jordan XIVThe XIV was modeled after Michael Jordan's Ferrari f50 with its sleek design and logo. There are over 9 colors of the XIV including his Bulls colorway, white, and black.
According to solecollector.com's shoe expert Professor K, the Air Jordan XIV is the most comfortable Jordan ever, even as a retro shoe.
It is known for being the best Jordan in terms of performance, blowing away even the most modern of basketball sneakers.
As an added extra, there are seven Jumpman logos on each shoe, 7 + 7= 14.
The black/varsity red - black version is sometimes referred to as the last shots because Jordan was wearing them during the last game he played with the Bulls which he finished with a game-winning shot over Bryon Russell. It was the first and only time in Jordan's professional career he wore the shoe.
[edit] Air Jordan XVAs the first Air Jordan released after Jordan's second retirement, sharing a similarity to the Air Jordan IX in that Jordan never played professionally in the shoe. There was some skepticism as to their comfort. The tongue of the shoe stuck out to mimic Jordan's well known habit of sticking his tongue out while playing. The woven kevlar Jordan 15 was modeled after the X-15.
This was supposed to be Tinker Hatfield's last Air Jordan (he later came back to design the Air Jordan XX) and is widely recognized as being somewhat of a failure in terms of performance and style.

[edit] Air Jordan XVIThe first Air Jordan to have the removable shroud concept. The shroud, or gaiter, was said to be a pre/post game accessory to dress the shoe up. The shroud was not recommended to be worn during gameplay. It also featured a patent Tibet tourhref='http://www.tibetholytour.com'>Tibet travelhref='http://www.tibetholytour.com'>visit Tibetleather toe with the toe being more square that a traditional shoe toe. This concept has been reused in many of the later Air Jordans. This was the first shoe since the Air Jordan VI to feature visible Air. It also was the first to feature a clear rubber sole since the Air Jordan XI.
This was the Air Jordan shoe Michael used in his first game (pre-season) in his 2nd comeback.
[edit] Air Jordan XVIIThis shoe comes equipped with a silver suitcase,which held the shoes and a CD containing the AJ XVII song. As well as a steep price of $200 when first released. Known as the most expensive Jordans ever produced. They were made in 4 mid top colors and 1 lowtop color.

[edit] Air Jordan XIXReleased in 2004 and modeled after the black mamba snake, this is the first Jordan release after his third, and final, retirement. Three special editions were released. They consisted of the East, West, and Olympic edition.
The Air Jordan XIX uses innovative materials. The upper was developed in collaboration with Material ConneXion Inc. from a sleeving normally used in architectural applications for protecting PVC pipes from bursting. In theory, this allowed for a lace-less shoe because the sleeving does not stretch, however the XIX did include a set of laces behind the sleeve to better secure the shoe. While the sleeve is an interesting design concept, its functionality is questionable.
[edit] Air Jordan XXIIThe Air Jordan XXII (referred to in advertisements as XX2) was released on February 17, 2007 on Michael Jordan's 44th birthday. It retails for $175, although Niketown.com had a special discount ($lll) the day it was released and offered free shipping with it as well. The aggressive and sharp design is said to be inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Some technical features of the shoe include the return of the Independent Podular Suspension (IPS), as featured in the XX and XXI, and a titanium shank plate to provide midsole support. It also includes two pairs of interchangeable heel pillars similar to the ones found in the Air Jordan XXI, although this time the Zoom Air pillars contain double-stackednike air jordanZoom Air units.
A 60-second commercial, produced by the New York advertising agency Wieden and Kennedy, debuted on February 7, 2007 during a University of North Carolina and Duke men's college basketball game. The advertisement is set in a high school men's basketball game and features a member of the visiting team stealing an inbounds pass, breaking down the court, and dunking in Jordan's signature Jumpman (logo) style, defeating the home team by one point at the buzzer. The advertisement features the Lacrimosa verse of the Requiem Mass as composed by Mozart performed by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the St. Olaf Choir.
Air Jordan Spiz'ike The Air Jordan Spiz'ike was created in remeberance of the Micheal Jordan and Mars Blackmon(Spike Lee) commercials. The Jordan Spiz'ike is a compilation of siginificant aspects from the Air Jordan III, IV,nike air jordan V, VI, and XX. The famous toe and heel elephant print from the Jordan III , the lace bidings from the Jordan IV, the large rubber tounge and lace cover from the Jordan VI and the lace locks and side netting from the Jordan V. Spike Lee dressed as Mars Blackmon wearing the distinct brooklyn cap and glasses is printed on the back of the left shoe. The elephant print is the lining for the inner of the shoe. Italic textAt a closer look the elephant print on the outer of the shoe should have hidden words within it relating to Micheal Jordan and Spike LeeItalic text

Main article: Economy of Tibet

Main article: Economy of TibetThe Tibetans traditionally depended upon agriculture for survival. Since the 1980s, however, other jobs such as taxi-driving and hotel retail work have become available in the wake of Chinese economic reform. In 2005, Tibet's nominal GDP topped 25 billion yuan (US$3.1 billion), more than double the 11.78 billion yuan (US$1.47 billion) in 2000. In the past five years, Tibet's annual GDP growth has averaged 12%.
While traditional agricultural work and animal husbandry continue to lead the area's economy, in 2005 the tertiary sector contributed more than half its GDP growth, the first time it has surpassed the area's primary industry [2] [3]. The re-opening of the Nathu La pass (on southern Tibet's border with India) should facilitate Sino-Indian border trade and boost Tibet's economy [4].
In 2005, the per capita disposable incomes of urban and rural residents in Tibet averaged 8,411 yuan (US$1,051) and 2,075 yuan (US$259) respectively. These figures were an increase of 30.4% and 55.9% over those of 2000 [5].
The China Western Development policy has recently been adopted by central government to boost economic development in western China, including the TAR.

Demographics

The TAR has the lowest population density among China's province-level administrative regions, mostly due to its mountainous and harsh geographical features.
As of 2000, 92.8% of the population are ethnic Tibetans, who mainly adhere to Tibetan Buddhism and Bön. Han Chinese, who are recent immigrants from other parts of the People's Republic of China, comprise 6.1% of the population [1].
Smaller tribal groups such as the Monpa and Lhoba, who follow a combination of Tibetan Buddhism and spirit worship, are found mainly in the southeastern parts of the region.

The Honolulu Academy of Arts was chartered in 1922 by Anna Rice Cooke (Mrs. Charles Montague Cooke), who desired to share her love for the arts with the children of Honolulu and Hawaiʻi. Since the doors opened April 8, 1927, the Academy has steadily grown to become Hawaiʻi’s largest private presenter of visual arts programs, boasting a permanent collection of over 40,000 works of art from cultures around the world.

The Academy is accredited by the American Association of Museums and is also registered as a National and State Historical site. In 1990, the Academy Art Center was opened to provide a program of studio art classes and workshops. In 2001, the Academy opened the new Henry R. Luce

Cootehill (Irish: Muinchille, meaning The Sleeve) is a rapidly-expanding market town in County Cavan in Ireland. It has a population of approximately 4000 people. It has a very wide street (Market Street). Market Street boasts an impressive display of trees (though there was fierce opposition to their planting in the early 1990s as people did not want a reduction in parking spaces). In recent years, Cootehill has borne witness to the launching of a spacious new carpark at the rear of the town (thus alleviating the worries of the protesters from the early 1990s).

Massachusetts College of Art & Design (also known as MassArt) is a publicly funded college of visual and applied art, founded in 1873. It is one of the oldest art schools and the only publicly funded free-standing art school in the United States. The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. MassArt is also a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), a consortium of 36 leading art schools in the United States.

Among the nation’s 35 independent schools of art and design, MassArt is the third most selective in undergraduate admissions and second most selective in graduate admissions, ranking among the ten most competitive colleges in Massachusetts, both public and private. [1]

MassArt offers a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts, a Master of Science in Art Education and a Master of Fine Arts. It also offers a number of pre-college (both credit and non-credit) programs for high school students. Students at MassArt have the option of majoring in Fine Arts, 2D, Fine Arts, 3D, Communication Design, Environmental Design, Media and Performing Arts, and Art Education. Within those majors they can choose to focus on disciplines such as Industrial Design, Art History, Fashion Design, Architectural Design, Graphic Design, Illustration, Animation, Painting, Printmaking, Ceramics, Glass, Sculpture, Fibers, Metals, Photography, Film/Video, and in the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM). MassArt's curriculum includes a foundation year, which provides compulsory exposure to the basics of 2D and 3D art and design, and required and elective studio and Critical Studies (academic) courses beginning sophomore year.

The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, claimed by some historians to be about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment and show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, mammoth or humans often hunting. There are examples of cave paintings all over the world—in France, India, Spain, Portugal, China, Australia etc. Various conjectures have been made as to the meaning these paintings had to the people that made them. Prehistoric men may have painted animals to "catch" their soul or spirit in order to hunt them more easily, or the paintings may represent an animistic vision and homage to surrounding nature, or they may be the result of a basic need of expression that is innate to human beings.

Fenway-Kenmore and Longwood neighborhoods, with its main campus located on the corner of Brookline

Campus
MassArt is located in Boston, Massachusetts near the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Harvard Medical School and Northeastern University. The college is currently headquartered at 621 Huntington Avenue in Boston, and occupies a square block of buildings it has acquired over the last two decades. Previously, it held a number of buildings scattered throughout Boston's Fenway-Kenmore and Longwood neighborhoods, with its main campus located on the corner of Brookline and Longwood Avenues. That building was acquired by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the mid-1990s, which gutted and rebuilt the building's interior, but kept the distinctive facade intact.

Available

Available to MassArt's student body are common facilities located at many colleges including a full-scale cafeteria, a small café, school store, library, student center, gymnasium, counseling center, auditorium, computer labs, and fitness center. Some of the not-so-usual facilities include a letterpress lab, squash courts, art galleries, studio spaces, and the Pozen Center—an area built specifically to house larger scale events. MassArt students (with ID) also have free admission to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—of which the MFA and ISGM are within walking distance from campus

high schools, independent

Besides providing a place for young adults to get away to focus on their art, YAC takes pride in their ability to provide a foothold for blooming artists to succeed in the professional world by having the proper tools, knowledgeable mentors, and a culturally diverse and friendly environment comprising of students from eight local high schools, independent studies, and three local colleges. Added to this, students are regularly benefiting from a wide variety of scholarships, apprenticeships, and part-time jobs offered to them due to their involvement and recognition through YAC. Through these opportunities many YACsters are able to spread awareness about their talents to the public and are given a better chance to succeed on a professional level.

illustrating for multiple

Both founders of Youth Arts Collective have a strong past of artistic experience and work that is often called upon, sometimes to help determine the perspective of a painting or often an opinion on color choice. Whatever the need, they are almost always available to lend helpful and constructive advice.

For twenty-seven years Meg Biddle and Marcia Perry have been partners in Biddle Perry Studios, creating numerous murals, cartoons, illustrations, paintings, and product designs not only for local consumption, but also various schools and magazines, and even international publishing. While both founders have a wide array of talents in using different mediums, each displays a partiality to a certain aspect of the art world.

Receiving a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts from California College of Arts and Crafts in 1973, Meg Biddle is the Program Director of YAC and works mainly as a professional illustrator with a heavy focus on the education and health care industries, often adding humor into her pieces. Showing alone and with others, she has displayed art all across the U.S. in Denver, Philadelphia, Palm Beach, and Monterey. As well as illustrating for multiple magazines such as Pulse for fifteen years, Meg Biddle also teaches workshops on humorous illustration, portfolio, and art business at the local Monterey High School Art Academy.

Also since 1973, co-founder and Executive Director of YAC Marcia Perry was self-taught her profession and works as a freelance artist. With a central focus on the airbrush medium, she applies her talents not only to fine paintings, but murals, illustrations, and product designs as well. Along with the licensing of some of these products, galleries from Colorado to Hawaii, California and Florida have sold her work, with some of her illustrations published internationally. Like her partner, she has taken the knowledge of her specialty to teach classes on airbrushing at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver.

Requirements and specifics
Youth Arts Collective is open on Tuesday through Friday from 3-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-4 p.m. For a monthly fee to pay for various studio supply costs, the artists are free to use any and all materials within YAC which includes extensive use of the supplies of the drawing, painting, film, and computer rooms, as well as the option to display their pieces in the Youth Arts Collective Gallery at the entrance. Selling one's art requires 30% of all proceeds to go to YAC, leaving the artist with 70% of their earnings (considerably more profitable for the artist than most galleries). To date, there have been nearly 200 artists to find a home within YAC's paint splattered walls with new members still arriving every couple months.

the community.

Supplies & support
Although supplies for Youth Arts Collective are bought partially through grants the monthly fee and YAC's percentage from gallery sales, much of the canvases, film, brushes and materials are donated to the studios from organizations as well as many generous individuals. Besides materials, YAC is also donated operating expenses by foundations and the community.

The original Sharpie marker was first introduced in 1964 and has since expanded into a wide product line of forty colors. Today, Sharpies are sold in seven varieties, according to the shape and size of their tip(s), ranging from "Ultra Fine" to "Magnum". They also come in thirty-nine ink colors, along with a single variety in metallic silver for marking on dark surfaces. Metallic gold and copper versions were introduced as well, but these have been discontinued due to problems with the ink formula. In 2004, Sanford released a new line of Sharpies that have a button-activated contracting tip rather than a cap, called the Sharpie RT. Sharpie Paint markers were also introduced. In 2005, the company's popular Accent highlighter brand was repositioned under the Sharpie brand name. A new version of Sharpie, called Sharpie Mini, was launched; the markers are half the size of a normal Sharpie and feature a clip to attach the Sharpie to a keychain or lanyard.

[edit] Marketing
In recent years, Sanford has distanced its company name from the Sharpie brand, eliminating it from the markers themselves and developing a website completely separate from Sanford's main site; conversely, in recent years Sanford has also been transitioning many of its other permanent marker products over to the Sharpie brand, including solvent-based markers and the Rub-a-Dub laundry marker.

Sharpie is the official marker of the Walt Disney World Resort.

The Terrell Owens "Sharpie" incident
In October 2002, the Sharpie marker made news in the United States when, after scoring a touchdown for the San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks, American football player Terrell Owens produced a pen he had stored in his sock, autographed the ball with which he had just scored, and passed it to his financial advisor, who was sitting in the audience, during a touchdown dance.

Many, including team officials, expressed dismay at the apparent arrogance of the move and the implication that Owens' attention was directed toward commercial exploitation of his athletic successes. Team officials did not, however, discipline him for the incident.

In interviews, he called the pen a "Sharpie" by name. Many speculated that Owens hoped to win an endorsement deal from Sanford.[citation needed] Bob Daenen, brand manager for the Sharpie line, originally said company officials were not interested. However, a year later, Sharpie enlisted Owens for a promotion entitled "Sharpie Metallic AUTOgraphs for Education," involving small donations of cash and school supplies to Bay Area schools.

his fly was open.

[edit] "Write Out Loud"
In recent years, Sharpie commercials have followed the slogan "Write Out Loud." These advertisements depict people using Sharpies in humorous situations, such as using the marker to touch up a car, and a college woman highlighting words in a book to notify a male student that his fly was open.

he often rejects

[edit] The President's Sharpies
Indeed, the Sharpie has become so popular in American culture that it is the marker of choice for the President of the United States, George W. Bush, who reportedly likes Sharpies so much that he often rejects other writing utensils in favor of them. The President's Sharpies carry his signature and have the words "The White House" emblazoned upon them. There are even special Camp David Sharpies. [citation needed]

Apparently, many celebrities have personalized Sharpies, but Sanford North America president Howard Heckes told U.S. News and World Report that "it's pretty cool" to supply the President of the United States. "Sharpies are good for the President of the United States or the president of the PTA," Heckes said in a September 2006 interview.(US News & World Report)
