Glorafilia by Carole Lazarus
This collection contains more than 20 charted needlepoint projects inspired by famous Impressionist paintings. The artists' colours and subjects are recreated in rugs and cushions, belts and bags, and as pictures which can be framed in their own right. Monet's waterlilies are featured as cushions; a still life by Cezanne of jugs and dishes has been made into place mats; and one of Degas' dancers hangs on a wall. The designs are suitable for various levels of expertise. Each one is accompanied by an introductory text and a reproduction of the painting which was the original source of inspiration. There is also a detailed photograph to illustrate the actuial stitchery, plus a colour chart and instructions.Dr. Elizabeth Bradley is an Associate Professor in the School for Graduate Studies at SUNY Empire State College. She received her Ph.D. in school psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and she is a licensed psychologist and nationally certified as a school psychologist. Prior to teaching at Empire State College, Dr. Bradley worked as a school psychologist and conducted research in the areas of substance use interventions, child neuropsychology, and school-based interventions for at risk youth. Over the past five years, Dr. Bradley's research focus has been on the use of online simulations in pre-service teacher training. More specifically, Dr. Bradley has investigated the use of simulations for teacher training in the areas of classroom management, identifying at-risk students, supporting LGBTQ students, and bullying prevention. Her most recent five journal publications have been on topics related to the use of computer simulations in teacher education. In addition, ten of her recent conference presentations have been on the topic of computer simulations in teacher education. Dr. Bradley was recently awarded a SUNY grant to locate and evaluate computer simulations in teacher education. Dr. Bradley will conduct this research during the 2018-2019 academic year and plans to reach out to simulation creators and publishers to make connections, collect information to be included in the repository, and invite them to author a chapter in this book. The audience for this book includes higher education faculty and administrators in the area of teacher training. Students pursuing degrees in teaching would also benefit from this book, as they can find games and simulations to practice their teaching skills and become more confident before entering the classroom.
