Donald Duck INTRO.Here is the opening sequence from the Disney Channel series Mousterpiece Theater. Let’s start this inaugural post with some News You Can Use it’s been four weeks since Robert Iger stepped down as the CEO of the Walt Disney Company. Janson was 'the Bible' of all university art students in asking the universal questions: "What is art? Why is this art?" And then finding your own voice and doing your passion. Mouseterpiece Theater (1988) hosted by George Plimpton. The only Disney newsletter you'll ever need. Studied at Pratt Graphics Center after college.) I used the name "Janson" because the History of Art by H.W. (I studied with Herb Aach, a color field painter and paint chemist, Bob Birmelin, an etcher, Richard Serra, sculptor, and Marvin Bileck who had won a Caldecott Honor - all influences on a young college fine arts major.

Years followed with a 6th-grade scholarship to Pratt on weekends, The Art Students League at 11, ultimately The High School of Music & Art, and then Queens College where I was an art major focusing on huge modern paintings, etchings and typography. In the afternoon, we would tour the American Wing with rooms of old furniture, the kind my main character lives in, and then make our way in time through the galleries to modern art - just like Janson, my little mouse! It was obviously a seminal time in beginning development. I would throw a penny in the water and make a wish. In the afternoon, we would have lunch at the cafeteria - dill pickles and an iced cruller! On special occasions, we would eat upstairs around a low pool, built like a Roman bath, surrounded by classical sculpture and massive columns, which was evocative for a young child and has appeared in many of my novels. By five years old, my mother took me on weekends from Queens to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, where I had painting lessons. Our irrational, amoral but instinctual behavior captured through childhood icons and tricksters such as Micky Mouse, Garfield and others.

I fell in love with art as soon as I could hold a crayon in my hand. Mousterpiece is a Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book of 2012 Join Jansen on a colorful tour of contemporary art in this new work from an acclaimed author and illustrator. Circles and squares! Squiggles and wiggles and stripes! When Jansen the mouse discovers the art of such greats as Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol, the bright, bold colors and shapes capture her imagination and spark her creativity.
