Naked Clay and The Aging of Little Red
Reveals the themes and the process of creating her MFA exhibition ‘The Ageing of Little Red’, in which she created toy-life objects to explore the realm of fairytales ‘as a means of subconsciously and intuitively exploring personal realities [particularly] interspecies relationships with emphasis on ageing, loss and grief’. Comments on her motivation for creating art to reflect recurring themes of the Equine Companion, the Big Bad/Evil Old, and Little Red as a way of examining the nature and evolution of fear during childhood, maturity, adulthood and old age. Notes that her MFA project centred on the interactions and dependencies between humans and horses. Explains why she used the saggar firing technique to create her objects and names some of the materials she used in the firing.

Model-Making: Materials and Methods
Model-making: Materials and Methods focuses primarily on the wide variety of materials that can be employed to make models; those which have been favoured for a while, and those which are relatively new. The book looks at how these materials behave and how to get the best out of them, then illustrates a range of relatively simple methods of building, shaping, modelling, surfacing and painting with them. Useful features of the book include: the different uses of models in various disciplines; the sequence of making; planning and construction, creating surfaces, painting and finishing; methods of casting, modelling and working with metals; step-by-step accounts of the making of specially selected examples; simple techniques without the need for expensive tools or workshop facilities; a 'directory' of a full range of materials, together with an extensive list of suppliers.

Comparison of the Effects of Clay Modeling & Cat Cadaver Dissection on High School Students' Outcomes & Attitudes in a Human Anatomy Course
Increasing public concern over the use of animal dissection in education is driving development and testing of alternatives to animal use. Clay modeling has proven successful in achieving comparable or superior learning at postsecondary levels, but it has not yet been tested at secondary levels. This study tested the effectiveness and appeal of clay models vs. cat cadaver dissection in teaching human anatomy to high school students. Student performance on a content knowledge assessment increased following both the model and dissection laboratories. The use of clay models produced better short-term learning outcomes in human anatomy for high school students than the use of cat dissection techniques, although this improvement was not retained in students' final examination scores. Students found the clay models both useful and enjoyable. Overall, the majority of students chose dissection as the preferred technique; however, after the laboratory exercises, the proportion of students who chose dissection decreased, for both the clay modeling and cat dissection laboratory sections. In the clay modeling group, the proportion of students expressing preference for clay modeling was slightly higher than the proportion preferring cat dissection.

The Routledge Companion to Health Humanities
The health humanities is a rapidly rising field, advancing an inclusive, democratizing, activist, applied, critical, and culturally diverse approach to delivering health and well-being through the arts and humanities. It has generated new kinds of interdisciplinary research, knowledge, and communities of practice globally. It has also acted to bring greater coherence and political force to contributions across a range of related disciplines and traditions.
In this volume, a formidable set of authors explore the history, current state, and future of the health humanities, in particular how its vision of the arts and humanities:
Promotes creative public health.
Opens new routes to health and well-being.
Informs and drives better health care.
Interrogates relationships between ill health and social equality.
Develops humanist theory in relation to health and social care practice.
Foregrounds cultural difference as a resource for positive change in society.
Tests the humanity of an increasingly globalized health-care system.
Looks to overcome structural and process obstacles to cross-disciplinary ventures.
Champions co-construction, co-design, and mutuality in solving health and well-being challenges.
Showcases less familiar, prominent, or celebrated creative practices.
Includes multiple perspectives on the value and health benefits of the arts and humanities not limited to or dominated by medicine.
Divided into two main sections, the Companion looks at \"Reflections and Critical Perspectives,\" offering current thinking and definitions within health humanities, and \"Applications,\" comprising a wide selection of applied arts and humanities practices from comedy, writing, and dancing to yoga, cooking, and horticultural display.

From Development to Function: Hands-On & Inexpensive Clay Modeling of Mammalian Kidney Development
In light of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), recent clinical research has demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) affects breathing and internal organs, especially the kidneys and liver function. It is evident that the kidneys are induced by the virus through the course of the medication treatments, such as the side effects that lead to kidney and liver damage. In order to scaffold kidney pathophysiology with normal kidney development and function in a virtual class or lab setting during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed a hands-on and cost-effective clay modeling teaching tool at the undergraduate level for learning about kidney anatomy and development. Given remote teaching, this innovative tool can be used to link the structure to molecular and cellular function through an easy hands-on model for both learning and teaching demonstration for all students.

Clay micromechanics: Mapping the future of particle-scale modelling of clay
Geotechnical engineers need to predict the macroscopic behaviour of clays in terms of strength, stiffness, and permeability and the variation in these properties during deformation. Engineers also need to predict the influence of environmental variables (temperature, pressure, pore-fluid chemistry) on these engineering properties. Particle-based methods, which explicitly model individual clay platelets and their interactions, can help identify the fundamental mechanisms that govern the engineering behaviour. Virtual samples can be created, and simulations can consider application of mechanical loading or change in the environmental conditions to generate data on particle kinematics and interparticle interactions. Particlebased models can be used to simulate stress and strain paths that are not easy to reproduce in physical experiments. This approach to simulation also enables parametric studies to understand the sensitivity of the overall behaviour to various particle characteristics and the nature of the particle interactions. This contribution provides a review of the state-of-theart of existing particle-based models for clays, namely Discrete Element Method (DEM), Monte Carlo method (MC), and Molecular Dynamics (MD). The technical challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of each method for the simulation of clays are presented and discussed, together with the technical developments we would like to see over the next decade to realize the full potential of these modelling tools.
