Arts@Large and the H-D Museum get "elementary" in new exhibit

Published Dec. 14, 2012 at 10:41 a.m.

The Harley-Davidson Museum and Arts@Large have teamed up to showcase unique student artwork in the museum's latest exhibit, "Industrial Innovation Gets Elementary."

Students from grades 4 through 8 at Stuart and Keefe Elementary Schools participated in a collaborative workshop with Harley-Davidson Motor Company designers and engineers to create a set of 120 motorcycle gas tank designs. The top 30, chosen by a committee of Harley-Davidson and Arts@Large employees, are on display at the museum through Jan. 4, 2013.

"Industrial Innovation Gets Elementary" is part of Arts@Large's "I Wanna-Be" initiative, which provides students with opportunities to see professionals at work in a variety of careers.

"The Hangover Part III"

Published Friday, May 24

Let`s not mince words: "The Hangover Part II" was awful. Shamelessly abysmal. So yeah, "The Hangover Part III" is better than "Part II," but we`re not exactly talking about a monumental achievement. There are a few more laughs this time around (a.k.a. more than one), but it`s still clear that what happened in Vegas four years ago shouldn`t have gone any further.

PBS at Reagan High

Published Friday, May 24

It seemed like a regular school day for Dan Monfre`s study hall section at Ronald Reagan High School. Little did they know, the camera crew from PBS`s Idea Channel was hiding in the school`s library waiting to surprise them.

Coaching search right on

Published Friday, May 24

Nearly a month removed from being eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs and about a month away from the NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks are still looking for a head coach. That`s OK. General manager John Hammond said he had no timeline, and it is the right approach.

Luminescent new MOWA

Published Friday, May 24

Difficult as it is to imagine now that I`ve seen the place, I was almost a bit worried I might have trouble spotting the new Museum of Wisconsin Art on my first visit recently. Turns out there`s no way I could miss Hammel Green & Abrahamson architect Jim Shields` luminescent West Bend building, the pointed prow of which seems to make a statement by aiming itself not southeast toward Milwaukee, but northwest, toward the broader expanse of the state.

Entire team struggling

Published Thursday, May 23

The starting rotation has grown increasingly more problematic for the Milwaukee Brewers as the team has fallen to nine games under .500, but the lineup hasn`t produced either this month.

Ritters change their mind

Published Thursday, May 23

The hard-won contract extension for locally owned Juneau Park Paddleboats has been reversed, and an out-of-state company will take its place in Veterans Park. Why? Apparently, despite public support, the owners were trying to sell their business to the competition.

Golfers look silly

Published Wednesday, May 22

On Tuesday, golf`s governing bodies officially adopted a ban against anchoring the putter against the body to make a stroke. Predictably, the PGA Tour and the PGA of America complained and whined and threatened and postured. Unfortunately, it`s the exact wrong reaction.

Adam Krause's pamphlets

Published Wednesday, May 22

It seems, at the outset, like an unexpected marriage: "The acts of thinking comedically and behaving democratically share enough analogous elements that an extended comparison between the two makes each much clearer." But, Milwaukee writer and musician Adam Krause sat down at the intersection of Comedy and Politics to have a think and the result is "The Revolution Will Be Hilarious," which in a mere 41 pages makes a cogent and, in the end, startlingly simple point.
