Another example would be those known as flipped classrooms, where general explanations or readings are done outside of class, using audiovisual tools on electronic devices. But there are opinions against, such as the misuse of cell phones during school hours, which distracts the student from the pedagogical objectives and, in addition, there are those who point to a passive use of the content, highlighting the loss of the practice of critical thinking and creativity in the classroom, and a greater digital divide due to the price of electronic devices. </div><div>With this contest, the organizers want to know the real perception of professionals and new graphic artists, but always through the prism of humor, of course. </div><div><b>II </b>- All professional and amateur artists of any nationality can participate. </div><div><b>III </b>- Works that violate morality, are offensive, discriminate or promote hatred in any way will not be accepted. </div><div><b>IV </b>- Works made in any form of graphic humor will be admitted: drawing, painting, photography, collage, etc. Works that have previously been awarded will not be allowed. </div><div><b>V </b>- A maximum of two works per contestant will be accepted.

The reasons that led to the creation of this competition are to be found in the traditions of our little village over the Pistoia’s mountains, on the Italian Apennines, when in last century people used to meet in front of a fireplace to tell stories that mixed reality and fictious. The Italian Lie Academy, in occasion of the 47th Italian Lies championship, declares the graphics section contest dedicated to Lie.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>This year theme is:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">ART AND LIES:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">STORIES OF PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES AND MONUMENTS</span></b></div>1.

Caminos de la Libertad invites reflection and discussion on the different aspects of freedom, generating thought around it and making those who have not yet realized its value in their lives aware of it. </div><div>Freedom is the fundamental right of human beings, but efforts to limit it have become systematic in the contemporary world. </div><div>There is no more direct and effective form of communication than caricature. Since its inception, it has been a tool for criticizing and analyzing the reality of our world. In the search to promote debate around freedom, Grupo Salinas announces the caricature contest.</div><div><b>Guidelines: </b></div><div>1. People from anywhere in the world can participate in this contest. </div><div>2. The works must be completely original and unpublished, and if they contain words, they must be in Spanish.

"<b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Freedom</span></b>" should be the theme of the cartoon. The winning works will be those that best capture, analyze, contrast, promote and disseminate it, those that offer proposals to expand the options of freedom in Mexican society or to present examples of success and failure in the application of this right. 4. Each participant may submit as many works as they wish. </div><div>5. The works must be presented in JPEG format at the best possible resolution. </div><div>6. The works must be signed with a pseudonym. </div><div>7.

Up to seven <b>honorable mentions</b> will be awarded, without cash prizes, for works that, in the opinion of the jury, have sufficient quality. </div><div>16. In the event that the prize published in this call for entries is not claimed within three months from the date of publication on the official Caminos de la Libertad website, as well as on its social networks, Caminos de la Libertad may use the amount of said prize for whatever purpose it deems appropriate, without the winner being able to make any subsequent claim of any kind. </div><div>17.

It was the 33rd year of the festival that adopted the theme of "WATASHITACHI" (meaning "We") in conjunction with the Saitama Triennale 2023. The Triennale takes the stage in Saitama, an urban center known for its liveability. <div><b>And why "We"?</b> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">What do you include in your definition of 'we'? </span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Some find a 'we' in the smallest of communities and between family, friends, countrymen, and peoples of the Earth; however, could a 'we' not also exist between us and the myriad animals, flowers, trees, and inorganic objects that surround us? </span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">In a time in which we coexist with issues like climate change, social inequality, and war, is it even possible to step outside ourselves and obtain a clearer grasp of our world? This year's theme was chosen in the hopes of providing an opportunity for 'us' to reexamine our conception of 'we'</span></i> (p. 02). </div><div><div><b>I participated </b>in the event with two cartoons of mine, one titled "<a href="https://kozy55.blogspot.com/2024/01/aile-bulusmas-kavusma-family-reunion.html">Family reunion</a>" on the theme of "We" and the second one of Free theme. Works on both themes by 37 Japanese and 45 foreign artists are included in the catalog of the exhibition that took place at <a href="http://www.plazanorth.jp/" target="_blank">Plaza North</a> in November 2023. <div><div><b>Saitama City</b> is the place where Rakuten Kitazawa - the father of modern cartoon in Japan - spent his later years. The Saitama Municipal Cartoon Art Musem in the home to Kitazawa in his later years hold the Saitama-City Rakuten-Kitazawa Manga Awards competition each year. In 2023 they held the 38th edition and the winning cartoons are included in this collection book of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon" which are also displayed on the museum website <a href="https://www.city.saitama.jp/004/005/002/003/001/manga-awards/p099996.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><div><b>The standard</b> A4-sized (21x29.7 cm) catalog of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2023" has over 70 pages covering the color and the monochrome cartoons participated in the festival and selected for the catalog. Plus 28 pages included for the lists of the Japanese and the Foreign artists with their personal histories in both English and Japanese. With the help of this perfectly designed book of art, it is possible to compare the style and wit of the native and overseas manga/cartoon artists and enjoy the great humour in their works.<br /><b>From Turkey</b> are published the works of the following cartoonists in the catalog: Aşkın Ayrancıoğlu, Behiç Yalçın Ayrancıoğlu, Engin Selçuk, Erdoğan Başol, Halit Kurtulmuş, Hüsnü Berkalp Üstün, Kamil Yavuz, Kemal Özyurt, Muammer Kotbaş, Musa Gümüş, Seyit Saatçi, and Hüseyin Çakmak from Cyprus.</div><div><b>Thank you</b> to the festival organizers and the staff of Plaza North who sent me this great collection of manga/cartoon art. </div></div></div></div>KOZYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02383977588382125069noreply@blogger.com0
