Spectrum Hawaii; 023; 024

The following program is a production of HGT in Honolulu Hawaii Public Television. The following program has been funded in part by the white state foundation on culture and the arts especially assistance provided by Hawaiian Airlines. Today on spectrum we traveled to the island of Maui. Here we find a sampling of local arts and crafts. In. Town. A new party with song. And the single lifestyle minus the painter George Allen. A native of Australia will travel to Georgia out on a ride in line. Ten years ago aboard the square rigged

sailing ship Carthaginian setting sail from Denmark. Helen eventually arrived in LA Heino intending to stay only two weeks. However once the eye of this art be known the beauty of life on the harbour. His plans changed. But first. We take to the streets of your town Mouly there on the slopes of a log cabin that gives us a flavor of the Maori crafts built by introducing us to the local efforts and mockery. Stained glass windows and Beag were. In the eastern part of Maui along the highway. The lives the village called for either. Here one may find a community nestled. Toward building. Bright with fresh paint. There are restaurants. Boutiques. Pedestrians dogs and popular old stores. The mood is language and casual. But the tempo is subdued. And it

is here. The area artists and artisans come to work and say. They have gathered together to form a craft skill. Q Would you advise the creators of the place to exhibit their wares. By staying in touch with them. Here. The value crafts guild is owned and operated by its participating members. Exhibiting member Kathy Ben-Dror is a foster. She shops at the Horiuchi grocery store. And is about to take. This is for Yuichi on a tour of the guild premises. Thank you. See. You. How are you. Just fine thank you. Beautiful flowers. Just. You know. I've never been to your place. Maybe I should. Put. It. Down.

Do you have a partner working in the studio today. To come down and see. You. Located at the edge of town by the sea. Maui crafts Crossfield houses studios workshops and a showroom. Taking the rear entrance. Cathy Bender introduces Mrs. Horiuchi to several of the guild members at work in this studio. The pottery studio. I spend most of my time. Rob Spencer. Is. Rolling. Today. It's one of our guild members. My. Business is Horiuchi. Centering up a part here. Great. Strength.

And skills to. Sentier and. Throw. Away. Was just a stone where it's made to go. You know it's about 23 and you. Have to be pretty careful as far. As you can. Good night. With you. When we finish the months. It looks something like this when we're. Wrong. Another guild member who has his studio here on the property of Bill Paulson he does stained glass. Bill. All right. All right. You are. Right. Here. To break up the glass just like there are steps right on. Each piece of glass is wrapped with the copper foil. Once that's done. All with all the pieces around then you're ready to do this on.

The side. It's 50 percent to 50 percent. Which makes it fairly strong. First you put up soil. Which is an acid acid. Sorry sorry. Sorry froze on the. Fact. That. You have to get real heavy on my mind. And this is what it looks like when it's done. Now the second technique. Is the leaded glass to me which is using a cane which is a shame. Take your glass pieces once they're finished. And use them in the slot. In the cave. And then you came to the shape of the glass. Once I completed the design of the model I painted it with a color of.

Each little panel is a separate panel and dome. And from there I blew them up to full size. And this is what it looks like. Thank you. Thank you Bill. This is art gallery. This is we're on your show there where. You are the 28 of us now. Need to explain this to our. Friends. If you. Are. Beautiful. It's so huge. How. Is. It worked out well to. Look at this one. For. You.

Putting. On this is very unusual. Beautiful. Piece. You know I have just the perfect place for this. What you have. Right. Here is it's all just perfect. I'll. Read you. Right in the middle of the store. Her. Mind. Sarah. I can. See. Beadwork is rare among the crafts of the Hawaiian Islands. Sarah topping is a specialist at this. Painstaking craft. Whether lacing together the beads are drawing them up in an attractive pattern. Bead work requires a patient attention to the many details of its design. Out of the abundant number of tiny beads. A whole tapestry is woven on the watch for artistic

direction. Here. Is a piece of poison. Sitting in the center. That. Has so many. Talents. That is. Kinda. Sad. To. Think. That. People. Are. Kind of. Appreciate. It. Let's join a Maori Party in progress. Here are the Hopi brothers singing for the folks at. B. B. B.

George Allen painting maybe founded shoes village gallery in Lyon Mali George Allen himself maybe found that a number of places usually in motion arriving by see painter George Allen remains drawn to the sea the source of most of his paintings here in Kapalua we joined George Allen and his wife Janet at the start of a busy day. Here. You can hear this. One from.

Her. It was terrific. Like I getting control like a rabbit to the surface right. Right. All right. Thanks for calling. I don't. Think he's going to run. All right. Oh I see. You want I'm going to take some photographs first. OK. On Come On. Funny that. When you were a the. Working visual. It. Seemed to be switched on 24 hours. Never off always looking always composing. Oh I see paintings come. Running up here and feel seems to be going on.

So we just feel. Very happy I. Must. Say spiritual stuff that I. Would be difficult to imagine starting running to the studio. Checking his head on and spending time in the harbor of this. Region. Chatting with friends or other. People. Seems to. Reinforce.

The fact that. It's a good solid feeling. I like to talk if I didn't have this contact I'd be forever running out of the studio looking for someone to talk to. Take hundreds of photographs. Boys enjoy. Candid Camera phones Megi. Incessantly. You have to be careful and not spend so much time looking through a viewfinder that you lose touch. With what's really in front of you. It's really. George's wife Janice is his business manager. He makes the

schedules and says the judge keeps them painting civets and gallery show. Don't forget sometimes go and getting bailed. I'm going to come Wallingham your attention. Can I talk to you about your new shirt. They're about. Ready to go. And so I wanted to make sure. That. You. Didn't want another. Cover. You might want to cover and that's not really typical for me. I like this finding a lawyer who goes really good on me but I don't think it's going to be going to be gone. I think we can probably lighten it up a little. And maybe if I could ask for it. OK. By the way I thought you saw a lot of people still floating along the Carthaginian thing just getting really old well gosh. Well speaking of the Carthaginian. We haven't finished that painting here have you. As soon as you finished it I have somebody who wants to see it. I'd like to get it up on the wall. You're really almost always thinking this way. So. I'm going to go out and finish and some things we are going to see Terry first film.

Oh well no. Maybe at the same time I could go selfies on the wall and paintings everywhere. Now. I got to be careful. OK. So I'll go set that up. I'll meet you out there. And then. I got to run. So. I meet you on the wall. OK. So it looks. Like. You're. Going. To. Bring. You over for dinner some great sin on the sofa. Oh anything you like. Michael Chertoff graphy is the rendering of objects from an extremely close point of view. These types of photographs have become Georgiana's guide to the field of abstract art. Want You know you're in a large room sir and let me get them for you. Are they

any good. I just checked them out. During. The. Sleep. Well it looks like you do something that. You do an abstract Do you think. You should be abstruse more I'd express. That's pretty good. All right. Great. I've got one other thing for you when you have that camera with the wonder you're always trying to portray something. I wanted to take a look at. This. Fabulous. Light. On the water. Right. Now. It. Is. Half an hour will be finished. Try and. Try. To get him up. A lot has never been better. For the summer. It's incredible just as well tell you. Some. Of the live

reflections I know about that sort of glitters on the way but they're replacing carries on all the way across here. You can see it through here. That's what I'm trying to do. Sometimes. Sometimes you can. Work. Really. But. The light changes so. It. Does. But. If you work for us you can and just on this little beautiful go there's always a surprise every day like can coming out and get a new surprise. It's just beautiful. Water. And people doing things this energy and this is just you can't help but. Feel like you're doing something with it all. Oh you do. And I've got the Post story this time. Yesterday. Thanks a lot. The Pioneer it has never been better.

Well I think you know a long one on painting here. I overemphasized everything. And. Everything is exaggerated. I think it comes out. On the painting a lot more real. If I just find out exactly what I think I see more brilliant colors. And. So. Normal. Well. I. Guess. I really better get on and get to the printer. I'll meet you later. Back at the studio. OK you want to take this with it. Oh that's good. OK. All right. See you later. See you back at the studio. I love the planes because Jimmy. Help me and from Scandinavia on in 73 the. Special feeling is a little

better now. My. Association with you. Here it is get. To go the way you want. That's why I frame is not so great. So how long do we do that. That's fun. Yeah looks wonderful here. Really. Oh it looks great. Good job. Bill Bagley's work is really you know I look at that look the red against the Green his paintings always excite me. All right. I enjoy hearing your reaction to my work. Oh it

was a lot of my favorite thing here. Let's show. Every. Word from crime as well. Good. I hope he comes back soon and it's always a joy. Really always chaotic going on around here and such serenity and the subject matter look this one is just beautiful so serene you wouldn't think it would work that way. But it does. He makes it work that's oh. She took on me for a long time. All right. That's the way. It all is neutral up with just a little pieces of coal in the middle. These all swimming on the way he frames his work. Boy he's been an inspiration to all of us with so. Dynamic. It's so peaceful. It's the same with these abstracts. So peaceful but there's so much going on always want cause. And

it really works how it works. This center of interest over here is the brains. Just beautiful shapes. Really not. Oh he can see Nelson's eye. He. Said oh boy. This transparency is really something I love it when I can work along with it. Richard Nelson's classes have been really. Helpful to everyone. This flowing long full flow and he just uses three colors but he makes it work so well it really takes courage to do that. You can't do it with oil plan. I don't think I've tried but I can give it to you. Look at this one here. The way he uses subject matter makes it really work. But that's just a beautiful abstract painting. Just really it is just exciting. But. He's not my favorite painter. Come on.

Well this is like oh that's good. Looks nice. It really does. I love that morning you get in your plane. The atmosphere is just beautiful. Well that's the time of day. I don't think anyone can go on if I get out there early in the morning. It's just so beautiful. The mountains are just the very best I think and the reflections the color of the water is beautiful and the people doing things early in the morning all the energy going on. It's just hard to miss just a great place to be gorgeous. People are drawn to your work well because I would love to be in that boat that's around. I wish everyone could be. It's really latch on. Oh look at all the great things going on and the color. The texture just grabs Oh it's very strong really. China is really a fine artist. You have a number of other editions too. Yeah. Well and. What do you is going to take that.

I'll take it on. I know I can get it done today next to the village gallery is George's studio where he enjoys painting abstract art to the sound of music. And innovation. I get a big charge a. Number of years ago I came to the realization that the paint on it was visually exciting even managed to get on the canvas. So I've been trying to find ways to interpret this book so I. Put it down somewhere. When George Allen responds to this well he oftentimes acts as an interpreter if he is interpreting a form of excitement then

the possibilities are numerous. Reach the objects about us we normally first look at how. We look. And we passed by. What have we seen. Last rested before the worth of an author is just remembering. That moment is the name of the vanishing. Moment in objects. For him it is the triumph of the art of joy. Join us again in our next. Hour.

by Hawaiian Airlines. The following program is a production of HGT in Honolulu Hawaii

Public Television. The following program was funded in part by the Hawaii State foundation on culture and the arts. On. Spectrum. We learn about the use of computers in designing architecture. A rain forest frolicking around the list of dental. Floss. Socks. Our. Aprons. Each. Day. Jane spike you and the dances a ballet deep within the Green Zone. Go. Young man said the fragrance of the Gingerbread Man. Is not. Disappointing.

At the University of Hawaii. It's an awful learning. Year for an education major discovery stage. The. Advances are being made in the new architecture. Computers have arrived and are helping the architect to shape the future of our urban environment. Architects takes Frances ODA and Cheryl Siemon discovered the computer's advantages and together with consulting engineer Dennis Serota to explore its possibilities. The skyline thickly planted with buildings of manmade design structures large and small that first existed in the mind of an architect by struggling to harmonize inventions of his imagination with the plain facts of material and environment. The architect seeks a solution a solution that will meet

many demands the demands of urban law and regulation as well as the demands that every proposed building places on its design of demands of comfort beauty and usefulness aiding the architect in his search for a solution. I used to by using the tools of this profession. An architect can draw his building's design its details and its site of location in time. His tools change the computer as a tool is a highly sophisticated device. It is fast consistently accurate and economical. But as a tool it is only as good as the architect behind it. The computer says the command of its use of subject to continue a refinement the computer increasingly office its use a

new freedom and flexibility in the hard task of planning. As a result the architect has assisted in confirming his concepts early and then rendering better informed decisions decisions which touch and affect people. Often times a city of people can suffer is going to be located in theater and its a high rise office building. And our intention here. When we first started designing this building was to create the most energy efficient building in a whole way and somehow create a building that was appropriate to Hawaii. The looks of it may not appear to be appropriate to you right now but in fact it is a building that can only operate well in Hawaii. We are doing something in addition here where we have developed lionise on every floor

of the building as a result of zoning requirements and those lionised will be planted. We've used natural sunlight for example to come into the building. And the biggest energy problem in any building in Honolulu any office building is not the heat from the outside but the light of the the of the artificial lights that are in the building and the air conditioning requirement to cool down the building because of the heat of those lights. It's the biggest energy cost we have. So in this building here we're making it very open to the outside letting like bounce into the building so that in fact we're using a lot of this natural light that is just so abundant in a way we're cutting the air conditioning use of this building 50 percent and we're cutting the energy needs over the normal building about well over 50 percent. So our hope is that this will turn out to be the most energy efficient building in Hawaii. Now we could not have done that without

computers. And this is a building that we've used computers really to the maximum extent that we have to date in the past we've used computers to figure out the structure of the building the beams the columns things like that. We've used it for some electrical work and some mechanical plumbing air conditioning work. But in this building we've not only used it for all of those things but also to shape the building to determine which window should be reflective glass which should be clear glass to design a light show system which is shown right here. That bounces light into the building. We also have light fixtures in the building that we have our automatic in that as the light beams on the outside. For example a cloud goes by the sun the light automatically increases in the building as the light then increases because the cloud moves away the light inside the building diminishes and all of that was done by

computer. And this building is right now designed to work optimally at the 21st parallel of North Latitude north which is Hawaii's latitude. So in that sense it's a building designed specifically for Jolles it could only operate optimally in Hawaii. Architects Frances ODA and show seaven have begun to use the computer as an aid in their pursuit of the architectural solution in that downtown offices of the architectural firm loop's 70. These Planas begin to explore the possibilities of using computers in architecture. I don't know exactly what the solution to the problem is going to be Frances but obviously we need to reduce the mass of this element adjacent to Honolulu federal. And I think the problem is that we've tried to make a real modern building here the most energy efficient building in hallway. We've solved this problem of the setbacks real well I think with my own eyes but we've created this other problem now and this building just

this link here to this historic building just doesn't work. No just it tends to dwarf the building and really we need to solve this problem so we take a look at her. Fortunately if we diminish the size of that element we're going to be losing Floria and that's going to be a problem. That's right. That's what we need to do is really get rid of it we need the floor. I don't think that's going to work. Perhaps if we move the element back it will diminish the apparent scale of that. That height. As seen from the street. That's a good song. You know it's going to take too much time to work it out on this model. Why don't we go working on a computer. OK let's take this up step. In its capacity to help the architect refine his design strategies. The computer allows the freedom to test design ideas in various artificial environments before the building is constructed.

Yes that's true. Let's look at a couple of alternatives. OK maybe 15 feet and 25 feet. That's pretty good actually. That's better. So you rotate it down and get it straight. Now that looks good. That's what I think that'll. OK.

Oh. Yes. That sounds interesting. OK. We'll see if we can come right over. OK. Dennis got a new piece of equipment a new terminal he wants us to come over and see some of the Manocchio stuff from the new toy toy. OK. Let's go another way we can use computers now is we can look at large pictures of whole cities and we can put whole cities into computer before they used to take so much time and effort that we didn't do it. We always used to look at small individual sites even for big buildings. Before we used to do large scale models. And some people have I'm sure seen these very large models of dumping one of little trouble as soon as you make the model. It's Elzbieta the way you've made it a new building has gone up and no one goes back and changes these models so the advantage of computers we

can just keep updating such a model does not compute or model does not exist for want to live that right now but the potential is right there. It's the next step to take Sandy water incorporated it is a surveying so engineering firm as surveyors we provide maps for clients as civil engineers. We provide. Infrastructure information. Hi Frances. Hi Cheryl. Your new toy. Yeah sure just in time to see the obscuration analysis. I kept. Hearing you could say the analysis as a. Consulting Engineer and surveying. We were asked by architect planning company groups 70 and Francis order to help them and the master plan to Lanark would. Be sure you get your first choice.

Well these are the first two cars that I came across on the color table. So that made it pretty easy to. Walk into. The state of a Y required locating future telescopes on the summit of Mount a McHale. That would not be visible from population centers on the ground on the coast. And yet have a destructive view of the heavens. The solution. Was to find those optimum locations. It. You know I'm going to have to take off so hard copy for sure. Okay great. Thanks a lot. That computers have proved useful in many lines of which is evident the potential of computer graphics is increasingly being realized in such diverse fields as astronaut training automotive aeronautical.

Biochemistry and motion picture special effects. As in any new area of knowledge there are misconceptions and theories is that a tool so powerful they overwhelm the user in the search for an architectural solution. If the computer is only used mechanically nearly for speed and efficiency then it fails its promise. But if in the search for an architectural solution the computer is used conceptually then it succeeds and its promise begins to be realized. A man and his tools are a rock a key indicator of the level of his material civilization. A powerful tool may be dangerous or it may be useful such as fire. The question may be who is to be master the designer or the computer the man or

his tools. Coming up next a puppets for Congress. Now we travel to why math falls park with a James feculent theater reveals the legend of ginger. They. Do. Do.

Not. See no make. A call. Hi. Hey. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

I. Be. In the children's theater at the University of Hawaii drama department Dr. Tammy Hahn introduces puppets as a novelty ingredient of early childhood education under Dr. HUDs guidance. Students are required to create puppets to set a stage and to compose a song.

Oh good. OK. Want to come down let's take a look at her. Everybody gets comfortable. OK. Hi how are you. What's your name. Hi. Alfred. Alfred you got a last name. No no no. Just I do think. You do or you can sing for us today. Yeah. Good. Alfred I have to say. No no. One. Nobody can be. One of the things that I loved best is my teaching. You really got to work with the college students. And I've often wondered why I love to do that and I thought a lot about it. And I guess what I love most about my teaching is watching the students grow. I say this when they come into my

classes this semester you will leave this a different person than you began. And it's happened enough that I believe it's true. They all change in the semester because I try and challenge them in ways that they're not being challenged perhaps another class and that is in the area of the ascetic in the arts in a way that is non-threatening to them. My goal is to build confidence in themselves and to do that you have to find the artist that is in every one of us. When she is not teaching at the University Tamis at home creating her puppets and writing books. I write books because I really want to share some of the thoughts and ideas that I have and have developed doing what I do is not as difficult as it seems. And I like to get those ideas down in print so that people elsewhere can experiment

with them. I feel I have an ability to simplify things in a way that someone can look at this and say gee I think I could do that. And I really feel that's a compliment to me after I do a workshop or when someone picks up a book on puppets and says to me as teachers often do I was always kind of afraid to do puppets. But your ideas are really good and I think that I could do that or I tried them and they really worked. That to me is a real sign of success. And I don't want my material to be so complex or look like like I'm the only one in the world who can do this. I like to make it simple enough for other people to try. Tammy has a built in audience and resident critics in her own children. She's currently working on a new book with a son in a tiny egg. I gave a tiny tickle out came a teeny weeny funny tiny gecko. I found a little egg. I gave a little peek. Out came a clock with a squeak. I think

I found a big wig. I gave a bigger hoop. Out came an ostrich with a boom boom boom. Found a giant. I heard a giant roar. Out came a great big dinosaur. Good you like. Can you think of some other include in the puzzle. I want to at that one. Good idea. Batten down. OK. Can you think of any other animals that might come out of an egg to play. Oh OK. Get them. Do you think that maybe that make some puppets and I like to make some things for the mother goose. Go with my apron and I put these things. I think one of the keys to my puppets and my approach to puppetry lies in what I believe to be kind of a definition of creativity. And I feel that creativity is putting together existing things in this world in a new way. I think that my puppets are simple the

cars I use as much existing material as I can. Material that is accessible to anybody. So when I'm developing a puppet idea as I've done with the glove puppets which I think are probably one of the best examples we take all of these ideas and I will go through the stores and I will look for things I don't always make my own pockets. I will find things that are already made and attach them and turn them into puppets because I like everybody else today does not have time to sit and spend hours and hours making a profit. Oh good I'd like to turn this into a garden. I'd like to pretend that this is the earth right here. And then on the finger tips will put the flowers know the pretty maids all in a row in that line. How is for you that you just as well as it fits me. It's great for a little long. How many a couple of years do you think that you can help me make some pedals. I've been kind of working on this one with several

layers of pedals like that little faces will get you going. Could you start to glue them together or some glue. You want him to do that and put it down. There we go. All right. You want to want to put some glue here. Here we go. You think that you could put that on there. You it's kind of nice when you help me do this. Thanks. What do you like best about making puppets. We're gluing them together. Do you like one of the things that is very important realize is that children feel much more comfortable and safe when they're talking to people and they will oftentimes confide in the puppet in ways that they will not confide in the teacher or the parent. One fascinating story that I had heard from a student of mine who was in my property class. Was that she had gone down to one of the children's hospitals as her public field work assignment in my property class to work with children who were in the

hospital. There was one child who was in a hospital bed who had had open heart surgery and they could not get him up and moving around they wanted him to have exercise he wanted him to walk around in the ward and he would not get out of bed. She went in with her papa. And he told the puppet that he was afraid to get out of bed because he had an open valve in his heart and all the blood was going to run out of his body. It was very frightening but it was the fact that he felt so close to the puppet that he would confide in the puppet and more and more people in therapy. Child Psychology and hospital environments are using puppets to find out what children are really thinking and feeling. And I have to tell people when I do this that you made it when you think of that idea. OK. That you're my puppet helper. The family learning center a daycare center where Tammy can apply her

puppets to the theories of creativity and early education to the children's delight. How. You. Do. You want to come see the puppets I read today. Could you come sit around here. Can I bring my chair over and sit down right in front of you. Oh my apron stages are. Fast becoming a trademark. I must have now probably 20 or 25. It's just that I know some children have Librans day which is just basically a butcher apron or a fancy apron that you would see with pockets on it and the puppets are concealed in the pockets. I bet you haven't seen what's inside. OK. Let's see what's inside I've got some stories and some poems and I'm going to need some help. Would you like to be a character called Mary. Because you're her name is what Mary. So we'll be Mary Kay. I'm standing right here right. I'm going to put a very

special puppet glove on. Let's see who this is going to be. This is my earth and you know what I'm going to ask you each to do. Could you plant some seeds for me. Could you water my garden. Could you be the sunshine and put some sunshine. Thank you. Mary Mary quite contrary How does your garden grove. And. Cockle shells. And pretty maids all in a row. Mary. We are always learning in the field of the expressive arts something new is brought into being the choice of instrument helps guide the course of action should the instrument be a machine a puppet or a pair of legs. Mastery is sought and the challenge is found. Join us again on our next step.
