Get Some Culture: Crafting Continuities
► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ►
The Crafting Continuities exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art provides insight into the little details of the artistic puzzle—the materials and processes that go into creating the final work.
"I think it really important that when we look at artworks and we see them all finished and in the case, we think about how they were made," says Chassica Kirchhoff, a Springfield, Missouri Phd student and intern at the museum who curated the exhibit.
And it turns out how art is made hasn't changed much in the last several millennia. Pieces in the exhibit show contemporary artists using 3,000 year old glass blowing techniques and 5,000 year old metal-smithing methods.
technique and is used by Sean Kramer, a Hutchinson senior and vice-president of the Spencer Student Advisory board, like that of the Crafting Continuities exhibit shows the evolution of crafting and elevates the materials to a level of high art.
Nothing is quite as simple as it seems. The exhibit includes textiles made from computer output and detailed sketches of different angles of small metalwork piece shown next to the final product. White streaks running across a vase that initially appear decorative are actually evidence of a centuries-old process where several pieces of glass are melted into one cohesive unit.
The exhibit runs through June with fresh works being introduced later this month. And if taking in the impressive displays of craftiness put you in a creative mood, stop by the Craftsy Meetup Party next Thursday, January 26 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.at the Spencer Museum of Art. Demonstrate your skills, meet other craft aficionados or simply let the art inspire you.
College football teams fintec highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.
However, with Weis at the helm, Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhawks football.

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept," Weis said. "I knew it would be right."
Campo comes to the Jayhawks after spending the previous 23 seasons at the professional level, including the last four as the secondary coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Weis convinced Campo
to return to the college ranks instead of taking an upper level organizational role under Cowboys' owner and General Manager lerry lones.

'You're right, I'm not ready to be done coaching yet.'
This is the second time Campo has left the Cowboys organization. The first time came after he was fired after three seasons as
Campo initially joined the Cowboys as the secondary coach in 1989, following Jimmy Johnson from the Miami Hurricanes, where they were the 1987 National Champions.
coach following in 2002
In his time with the Cowboys, Campo won three Super Bowls and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1995 before his unsuccessful tenure as head coach. Campo spent stints on the coaching staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Cowboys in 2008.
"I wanted somebody that speaks the same language as me," Weis said. "He certainly speaks the same language as me. He's significantly older than me, obviously. We speak the same language, we've known each other
NOTABLE PLAYERS UNDER CAMPO
DEIGN SANDERS: 4-time pro-bowl selection under Campo. 4-time all-pro selection under Campo.
BENINE BLADES: 1987 Jim Thorpe award winner as nation's top defensive back under Campo. College Football Hall of Fame member.
DARREN WOODSON: 4-time all-pro selection, 5-time pro-bowl selection under Campo. Campo converted Woodson from linebacker to safety in the NFL.
TERENGE NEWMAN: 2009 pro-bowl selection under Campo. Recorded his best statistical season in 2010 with 77 tackles and 5 interceptions in 2010, both career highs.
RASHEAN MATHIS: Had his best season under Campo in 2006 when he was named to the all-pro team, selected to the pro-bowl, tied for third in the NFL with eight interceptions.
for a long time, we have a mutual respect."
In addition to his duties as defensive cordinator, Campo will also be $ ^{b} $ charge of the defensive secondary, where he
will try and improve a unit that finished the season ranked 110th in the nation in pass defense.
