This is my current computer background at work.
Artist is Paola Zakimi. love love love her.
During WWI Norman Wilkinson, a British artist and naval officer, created Dazzle Camouflage. German submarines were sinking nearly 8 British submarines a day using torpedoes. Wilkinson proposed that the ships could be painted “not for low visibility, but in such a way as to break up her form and thus confuse a submarine officer as to the course on which she was heading.” The ships were painted in bright colors and crazy patterns.
I gave my students a worksheet with questions about a Mr. Bean video. The class was canceled 10 minutes after it started so I had the students pass back their blank worksheets.
I thought this was pretty awesome.
