Mat Bevel Company Receives Pivot Grant from Tucson Arts Foundation

by | Jun 26, 2020 | News, Uncategorized

In April, the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona announced the Pivot Grant to fund artistic projects and programming which have been adapted to alternative methods of sharing (i.e. virtual, digital, socially distant) in response to the COVID-19 ongoing health crisis.

Granted awards ranged from $500 – $1,000 for individual artists or $1,000 – $2,500 for non-profit (501c3) arts organizations. Submissions could include new, currently in-progress or on-going projects and programming.

Mat Bevel Company (MBC) received a pivot grant for immediately offering a blended learning edition of The Universe Within for physical classrooms as well as for developing a free e-learning edition that includes remote tools for virtual face-to-face group brainstorming, discussions and collaboration, which are key components of the curriculum. MBC has been posting lessons at the-universe-within.org. The team is also working on deploying a secure online e-learning platform that manages program registration, instructions, technical requirements and support as well as distribution of all educational materials: learning objectives, state standards alignment, instructor protocols and student workbooks, as a service to students, educators and parents.

Panelists appreciated that Mat Bevel Company’s compelling Pivot Grant proposal included development of two programs which would foster imagination and creativity within our community, involving a number of different digital platforms for the virtual classroom.

Mat Bevel Company Vice President said, “The Arts Foundation grant is extremely helpful as we quickly develop an e-learning edition of The Universe Within to accommodate virtual classrooms, during COVID-19 and beyond. Many of the collaborative tools we are developing will be valuable for physical classrooms too, once social distancing measures are no longer in place.”

Mat Bevel Company is working with an experienced team of technologists and educators to keep remote classroom activities engaging and collaborative. As part of this project, a digital version of The Daily Doodle scientific notebook is being developed, helping students to record, develop and present solutions and ideas.

“The Universe Within was a creative project that made me feel good about myself by being even more smart. It helped me get more imaginated! I barely knew geometry and physics, but now I know much more. I didn’t know that I could do so much, but the class helped me with my creativity.” –Priscilla

“The museum made me feel awesome because I’m part of creation. The Universe Within course was fun and I liked that we got to use our imagination and use cardboard, because cardboard never messes up. I just rip, rip, rip the cardboard to make my tools and my headdress. My social issue was saving the ocean. It was relaxing to take my energy out on creating and solving problems.” –Daniel

SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT: Daryl Walizer, Commercial Pilot

SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT: Daryl Walizer, Commercial Pilot

Daryl Walizer with his brother Craig.

Daryl Walizer is a pilot for American Airlines. He likes travel and the lifestyle that goes with the flexibility of not having an 8 to 5 job. He says, “I’ll go for a stint and then have time off. It’s great to have the ability to adjust your schedule for your quality of life. The downside is that you can work 6 to 7 straight days at a time. You have to be disciplined when you’re home and then plan to be ahead for when you’re gone. Time management is essential.”

Daryl flew International for about 14 years for American Airlines, traveling to Europe, South America and Hawaii. Now he flies domestic transcontinental.

He explains, “It’s hard to describe, but some people are made to be pilots. They have a brain that can compartmentalize and take stress. This means that you do everything in a certain order and a certain way. I use the left brain more. Someone like Mat Bevel Company’s Ned Schaper, who’s very creative and imaginative, uses the right side more. It’s just different ways to use your brain.”

Daryl Walizer celebrating the magic of Christmas and Beveldom before his next assignment with American Airlines.

Daryl describes his personal mission as taking care of family, being responsible, appreciating his country. He says, “I’m a patriot which is why I joined the U.S. Air Force when I was young.”

Daryl donated to Mat Bevel Company in 2019 during the Escape Velocity campaign because of the organization’s work and his love for the Schaper family. He says, “While I donate to be a good citizen, I gave to Mat Bevel Company because I like the work they are doing. Ned and Paula Schaper are my other family. I trust them, and I feel like my donation isn’t being wasted on salaries. You know, many nonprofit officers make huge amounts of money. But Mat Bevel Company is all volunteer and their philosophy is to be resourceful which makes me feel like they are making good use of my contribution. I’m supporting inspiring TV programming and curriculum that helps people be better problem-solvers.”

Daryl thinks priorities in the educational system have gotten skewed. He says, “We need to teach the basics first. Students need to master Science, Math and English before you diversity them! If you can’t count money, why would you teach someone math? You have to establish the foundation before you build beyond.”

Daryl with girlfriend Barb during the holiday!

As far as making the world a better place, Daryl thinks we need to go back and emphasize personal responsibility. He believes we’ve become too much of an entitled society. He says, “No one thinks if you want it done right do it yourself. You don’t have to be a master of everything, but you need to have knowledge of everything. You need to have a wide enough background to take care of yourself, but not be a genius of everything.”

Daryl would like to pass to future generations an understanding of the value of work and how it relates to the value of finance. He says, “You have to understand and have a good work ethic. You need to work to live, not the other way around. There is no free lunch in life.”

To quote Forrest Gump: “And that’s all I have to say to say about that.”

Society Establishes Two Production Studios

by | Nov 30, 2015 | Uncategorized

FilmStrip1

Since the “Bevelvision Is Going Live!” capital campaign in May, we’ve been hard at work planning and preparing for the ever Bevelvision video prototypes. This introduction, called Welcome to Beveldom, will be completed in the next few weeks.

Our original plan was to videotape Welcome to Beveldom in our studio, located in the heart of Tucson on Broadway Boulevard. A former bridal fashions store—with open interior space and large glass display windows—here the Museum of Kinetic Art is tightly packed in this aquarium-like tank, hence the studio’s name The Bevelarium.

With the arrival of the new high definition camera, a second production studio was established in an historic open-air barn and silo. This second location, situated in the small rural community of Patagonia in Southeast Arizona, allows the Society to capture the kinetic sculptures and characters, using beautiful natural lighting, open grasslands, a farm environment and other repurposed objects. This production studio is called New Beveldom.

The Spartan Art & Space Spa

In the spirit of Available Resource Technology (A.R.T.), a 1946 Spartan trailercoach has found new life in New Beveldom as the “Spartan Art Spa.” This particular Spartan Manor model has its own story of transformation. After World War II, oil tycoon J. Paul Getty turned the Spartan Aircraft Company into a luxury trailer manufacturing enterprise. The travelcoach being used in the introduction to Bevelvision was the first to roll off the production line. 

A major shift in our direction, the second location is impacting the look and feel of Welcome to Beveldom. The upshot is that with two production studios we have more environments in which to establish the magical feel of the world of Beveldom, one for indoor and one for outdoor filming.

To the right are still images of Welcome to Beveldom taken at both production studios. Stay tuned for the release!
