Art chalk: how is it different [than normal chalk]?

what makes art chalk different?





i know it's softer and spreads better, probably breaks easy and is like more clay-e, but are there other things?





do you possibly know what makes it that way? like chemicals or ingredients?





but here's the one i need the answer to: IS ART CHALK MORE ACIDIC OR BASIC THAN NORMAL CHALK?

Art chalk: how is it different [than normal chalk]?
probably basic, so it doesnt yellow the paper or pics.


Why should you choose to do an Art Foundation course?

I'm hoping someone can resolve an ongoing debate I have with my sister.





I studied Art Foundation in the same college that she is in now after completing my A levels. My sister is doing a BTec Fine Art and then plans to go to do a degree somewhere in the UK. The reason I did the Art Foundation was for a number of reasons; I was unsure of the degree I should do and it was explained that the foundation would enable me to experiment with lots of techniques to find the area of art and or design that best suited me; I was told that an Art Foundation is looked upon favourably by most UK universities with art and design courses, and that some courses may expect you to have it. Also it gives you the chance to expand your portfolio of work before going to uni.





My sister has been told differently. She doesn't need to do it as she's doing a BTec?

Why should you choose to do an Art Foundation course?
Different unis will have different entry requirements, so maybe the one who are interviewing her don't require it. Entry requirments can also change from year to year.





Am I right in thinking that her BTEC is a full time course? Your Art A level wouldn't have been full time (as you were also doing other subjects) so this may account for the difference too.


Suggestions for art?

I will be starting GCSE art in september and i want to know what would be good to have in an art box. (A box where i keep ALL my art stuff to do at hom) Besides pencils, brushes and rubberswhat would you suggest to have in there? Any answers would be great.

Suggestions for art?
A pen would be great, especially a 'boot-pen' (I don't know what it's called in English, but in Korean it's spelled 붓펜). It's made by the company Monami, though. Any pen is okay, but those would be best.





Charcoal and conte would also be good, along with a charcoal eraser-- the putty ones. Also a knife, so you can sharpen your pencil and cut your rubber erasers to sharp points.
Reply:blenders, metal straight edge, compass, small pair scissors, masking tape
Reply:crayons, thelt tips, coloured pencils, gouache paint/ watercolours, ink pots any type of coloured byro pen, coloured pastils. brushes sharpeners and a good sketch pad


Art legislation?

Can art get "bad" enough that laws should be made? Who should be made the art overseers?

Art legislation?
art is a freedom of speech that should not be censored. a true artist is expressing an idea, so he/she should be very much allowed to express those ideas!
Reply:Correction, NEA (too much spy-news these days). Report It

Reply:no one. art should be free. 1st amendment (in the US). people should have free speech and be able to express what is on their mind (as long as it doesnt affect others)

Art Institute of Chicago how to get arwork displayed?

How does the Art Institute of Chicago decide who's art to display? And if an artist wanted his work displayed there, what would the steps be to get that done, if that's even possible?

Art Institute of Chicago how to get arwork displayed?
one sure way has to be you go to school there. Then you have to do put something into a graduation exhibition and there you are.


If you are talking about the museum, I guess if you can get them to buy your work would be one way. Or if you are famous. Ask their curator...


Greek art question???

i have art homework and i need to know the most important arts that exist in the history of greek art....also if you know a website that has images of them too.

Greek art question???
Some of the most influential masterpieces of the western world were created as the result of a two century long building program in Archaic and Classical Acropolis. In the 6th century BCE a multitude of freestanding votive Kouroi and Korai were dedicated on the rock, and in the 5th century BCE the sculptures of the Parthenon lead the classical evolution.

Charioteer of Delphi


The Charioteer of Delphi is one of the most important sculptures of ancient Greece partly because it vividly represents the passage from the Archaic conventions to the Classical ideals. It exemplifies the balance between stylized geometric representation and idealized realism, thus capturing the moment in history when western civilization leaped forward to define its own foundations that braced it for the next few millennia.





Kouros


Kouros, as was the case with the Kore statues, were almost always approximately life-size (some much larger), and with few exceptions were made of marble. They are depicted standing in a frontal pose with their left leg moved forward, their arms close to their bodies touching the side of their thighs, and they exhibit an almost strict symmetry as the different parts of the anatomy are depicted as simple geometric forms.





Minoan Art


What has survived to our day from Minoan art provides insight into the culture that flourished in Crete during Prehistoric times. The art of the minoans speak of a society of joyous disposition, in touch with their environment, and in awe of the logical order of the natural world. Above all, the unearthed artifacts reveal a people who had developed a high degree of self-respect and a keen eye for observing and adopting to their physical environment.





Here is a link to an AWESOME website about Greek art from ancient Greece and beyond...includes LOTS of info!


BEST OF LUCK TO YOU - and yup, you're welcome!

Album art, no itunes store account but...?

can i just import them into some sort of player/app that adds album art? ipod touch looks sick with album art but i dont have a credit card so it wont let me add album art with no itunes store account. if you can not think of anything that does it auto. can i have an app to add my own images to an mp3? this would be usefull as this method can be confusing without an app


Cheers

Album art, no itunes store account but...?
right click on the song click get info.


click the artwork tab.


go to wikipedia.


type the album u want the artwork for


copy the picture,


go back to itunes


paste the picture in the big white box in the artwork tab


click okay


now u have the artwork
Reply:I don't know if this will work, but in my iTunes, most the album covers are ones i have copy from the internet, and then i paste it on iTunes. In my music Library, this works fine. I don't know when you actually upload songs from your iTunes, whether the album art that you copy and pasted will actually appear on your ipod touch.





To paste an album art, you right click the song(s) you want to have the album art and click GET INFO, and go to ARTWORK and then click ADD.


Assuming that you have already saved the artwork you want, then ther rest is easy.
Reply:Media monkey will do this by searching Amazon and several other sites for the album art then it will attach it to the mp3 if you want it to.

The program is free, you can buy an upgraded version, but to do album art the free version works fine.


Purchasing art from art shows?

I've never attended an art party. So for those who have, attended these events specifically at private art gallery's what is the process of purchasing a piece that you like? Do you write a check to the artist? Do you check out at the cash register? Do you take the piece and tell them to bill you for it? What?

Purchasing art from art shows?
let someone that works for the gallery (if you can't tell who they are just ask around) know that you are interested. they will tell you how much, they may take a credit card. the sale will be through the gallery because they get a certain percent for commission
Reply:Dear Art Lover,





It's terrific that your are interested in attending one of these events. At our gallery (http://www.avframinggallery.com) we put these parties on monthly. We usually call them Artist Receptions and they fall on our regular monthly gallery walks.





So here's how it tends to work when you like a work of art and would like to purchase it. Generally, the gallery show is considered an "exhibition". This means that the show will hang in it's entirety for the duration of the exhibition. So you typically do not carry your art home with you that night. But you do pay for it.





At AV Framing Gallery, as the gallery owner, I constantly talk with everyone I can and watch other conversations so I'm aware of anyone showing interest in a particular piece. I can then go to them and answer any questions they might have. If they decide to purchase, we walk back to my counter and write a check or run the credit card for the full amount plus sales tax. I take their contact information and tell them when the piece can be picked up (or shipped), which would be after the show comes down. At that time I give them a reminder call to come by and pick up their art.





The gallery needs to take the money up front for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that they need to pay the artist. It also indicates your seriousness about purchasing.





It's fun and painless! Don't be shy. Ask questions of the gallery owner/representative and the artist if she/he is present! You should feel comfortable in the transaction! One of the most satisfying purchases is a piece of art that will beautify your home or office and feed your soul everyday...that's priceless!





Have fun! And if you have any further questions, check out our website for more information at http://www.avframinggallery.com.

How is this art?

How could someone do this? Will you sign the petition? Please dont let this happen again!





In 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas "Habacuc", took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death





For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died





This is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008





PLEASE HELP STOP HIM





It takes a second to help put a stop to animal abuse!





Sign the petition, today;





http://www.petitiononline.com/ea6gk/peti...





My question is what makes this art and not animal abuse?

How is this art?
I signed the petition yesterday in response to the question "do you love your dog?" I have no Idea how animal rights hasn't jumped all over this. And I read the "artist"s statement about how he was starving anyway, but that' bull because at least he would have been able to find some scraps and water on the streets. This guy is a sicko and gives artists a bad name. THIS IS NOT ART!
Reply:Well, I think someone said, in one of the stories about this heinous act, was that the dog was starving on the street and this way he starved inside a building with air conditioning, or something like that. Still is shameful for people to stand by and let him starve. I think starving on the street would not be as bad as this.
Reply:Don't make wild, visceral assumptions without trying to look at the entire story first.





Luckily, the good people at snopes.com recognize and demonstrate every day that what seems to be the truth isn't so clear cut after all.

Latte Art - Help?

I just got a Rancilio Silvia. I looked through the many articles concerning the Silvia, including those specifically concerning latte art. I got myself a stainless steel milk jug with shaped spout designed for latte art, and a thermometer and clip from a barista supply store.





I practiced the technique with skim milk (easier) and was more or less successful. I tried again with half-and-half (2%fat) and have not been successful. I have tried over 10 times.





I either get what I call a "foam" or a "fizzle". In "foam", the top foam comes out and already fills the top of the cup before the level is halfway. In "fizzle", the level goes up and up but the "white spot" that is supposed to signify the start of the latte art move, never materialises.





Additional information: I pour for 2 cups at a time, the cups are not the semi-hemispherical shape but not exactly a cylinder either.





I suspect that the milk has separated but I thought I did the texuring correctly.

Latte Art - Help?
It is far easier to do this with skim milk than any milk with fat. Check your skim milk to make sure that it does NOT have carrageenan in it. Some skim milks have this additive to give the milk more body for drinking purposes. It does a horrible job for making latte art.





Good luck.

Cover art not showing on iPod Touch?

Okay, I bought my ipod touch today (with software updates) and I synced it to my computer, but when I turned the iTouch on its side to turn on cover flow, the gray album with the little music note showed up and the cover art never loaded (even after I waited for 10 min.). I downloaded ALL of my songs from Limewire and then took the cover art from Wikipedia (most are in JPEG.) and put them on the songs, yet nothing shows up! WHY?! Again, I DO have cover art on the songs and it shows up on my ipod nano 2nd gen, but not on my itouch.


(also I've already updated both iTunes and the iPod Touch - 1.1.4 on Windows XP)

Martial art that uses mostly legs?

Does anybody know a good martial art that uses almost all leg movements? I'm not the kind of person for upper body strength and I really want some type of martial art of self defense that really works to my advantage, meaning something that uses arms only as a last resort or defensive "mechansim." If you can, could you include any martial arts studio like that in or around the Erie, PA area?

Martial art that uses mostly legs?
im dissapointed in people here...tae kwon do...is that all they know? Muay Thai and capoera...dont know if i spelled it right...but u should know...martiall arts is really about the flow of ure body movement and its about attack and counter attack...using mostly legs is bad in close in fighting...once i get through ure kicks i can beat ure face in with punches...
Reply:tae kwon do, kick boxing
Reply:Taekwondo is the first that comes to mind. Almost 90% of attacks in tkd are kicks. Punches are taught but not really used much in sparring. They are used in the forms but not as a major focus point.





However, upper body strength is not required with many martial arts. If you look at many Karate and Kung Fu masters they are weak looking older men. The moves taught are based on using the strength you have. Almost any art shouls teach you how to use your own abilities better rather then forcing you to build strength where you do not have it. The strength you build is a side effect of the workout not the requirement of the art.
Reply:Tae kwon do does a lot of kicking. But I wouldn't suggest that it is the best for you are anyone. You may not have strong upper body strength right now. But in a good school you should learn to train your mind and your body. I can tell you from my own experiences that there are many techniques that I may never use in a fight or while sparring. Everyone tends to favor their own favorite techniques. They become natural. In other words you don't have to think of which one of a hundred to use. You instinctively you the one best suited for you depending on what your opponent has done.
Reply:Tae Kwon Do. However good luck using those styles effective unless you find one of extreme rare TKD school that actually teach you something effective.





Next close is Muay Thai, however they does use a LOT of upper body strenghtness due to clinch.





However in end I doubt you'll ever do well for self defense because you'll not have any confident. If you don't have any confident, you'll not do well at anything peroid!
Reply:Taekwondo is great for foot techniques!!!
Reply:Hi


1. Tae Kwon Do


2. Muay Thai


3. Northern Styles of Kung Fu


4. Wushu


Thanks


wayne...
Reply:Upper body strength, or lack there of, shouldn't be your deciding factor in training a Martial art. Martial arts use more than just strength. Worry more about proper foot work and body motion and you will have success in what ever art you choose. I train under a Master that is 82yrs old. His body weight is around 120lbs. When he "give you easy push" I usually end up flying through the air before I land on my A55. Physics and the laws of motion have a lot to do with the arts.


Good luck!!!
Reply:I knew everyone would say Tae Kwon Do





BUT in actuality, if you want real training, real strength, go for Muay Thai.....And scotticus is absolutely correct!!!!

Yes, art can inspire more art. I recently used the pose of a woman from an art deco lamp to solve a problem I had been having in a pinting I was working on...as long as one does not plagarize...I once had an instructor that told me all ideas have their inspiration in someone elses idea.

Photographic art - What makes it unique???

The truth, i personally think is that photographs cannot become art _simple!.. so you capture a beautiful landscape..so?! whats so special about that (identical replica of reality).





But if an artist captures a beautiful landscape eg 'Fine art'.. elements of lighting / contrast / strokes / shadows / techniques which the artist employs to assist in the creation of his master piece.. which is visually represented and stimulating...


(THIS IS ART).





Any other perspectives on this issue... PLEASE enlighten ME and prove me otherwise (if you can).

Photographic art - What makes it unique???
As both a fine art and commercial photographer I will be the first to admit that not all photography is art. However, in the same light I have to say that not all painting or for that matter sculpture is art. Just because a piece of work employs a mastery of techniques, doesn't automatically make the work art. For example I have worked on the set of some very large photo shoots, most recently a shoot for a new Toyota. With a crew of nearly 10 peop,it took almost two days to shoot in the studio and so far has taken nearly a month of Photoshop work. Good photography,at least in terms of commercial photography is not as easy as simply point and shoot, and requires a lot techniques which not everyone can master. However, just because it takes a lot of effort, and knowledge to shoot a photograph of this nature, does it make it art? It is definately not art, its an advertisement. Maybe superficially it seems like art, as it does employ characters of art: contrast, sepparation, depth, color etc... however art is more than just color, contrast, strokes etc...


Modern art, at least as it has been understood since the turn of the 20th century expands beyond just a mastery of technique. Modern art often explores concepts, and reaches out to break preconceived notions, to let the mind wander in directions it has not taken before. Modern art takes the benign, the everyday and metaphorizes it into something beyond itself. So back to your notion that landscapes photographs are not art. I would agree that a lot of landscape photography is not art, and not because there was no mastery of technique employed. No, the reason for this is because to be honest most landscapes don't expand beyond their own meaning. For example a tree is a tree, a mountain is a mountain, and a sunset is a sunset. In art we are looking beyond the actual meaning of the object itself, we seek for a deeper meaning. Ansel Adams was able to achieve this, his landscapes typically have a deeper meaning beyond itself. How was he able to do this, part of it was a mastery of not just photography but a mastery of basic design concepts: light, balance, space, etc...Fact is that a lot of your really good fine art photographers have a deep understanding of art history, as well as basic art and design concepts of which they employ in their photography. A good example of an interesting modern fine art photographer can be seen here http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...


Joel Peter Witkin is just such an example of a photographer who has a firm understanding of art history as well as a firm understanding of art and design concepts.


Anyhow, I would suggest that you don't concern yourself with technique so much as concern yourself with concept. But if technique is your biggest factor in determining who is and who is not an artist then I would suggest you try to study the Zone system of photography, or perhaps how to use a view camera, or better yet study photo lighting. However, even if you master all the above don't think for one moment that you are some great artist. Technique means nothing if there is no concept.
Reply:Your eye. The "eye" of the photographer.


If a photographer does not see things as artistic stuff, then just forget about it it is no art it is just pictures.
Reply:a photo is an object frozen in time,taken in a micro second surely this makes each photo unique as even the same object retaken would belong to a differant time.
Reply:Photography also involves "elements of lighting / contrast / strokes / shadows / techniques which the artist employs to assist in the creation of his master piece."





I'm referring to real photography, not one taken with a cell phone.





And, a landscape portrait isn't "an identical replica of reality." What determines the "reality" of a landscape? How much should be included/excluded to make it an identical replica? What time of day should it be taken? What time of year?





People see color differently, and people look at things from different angles and heights. Two people will look at the same landscape and see different things.





Photography is an art because of the infinite individual interpretations of the same place. Doing it uniquely and effectively is what makes you an artist.





Peace.
Reply:If you where an artist you would know that photography is art.
Reply:Art is a subjective critique of the world around the artist, regardless of what medium, materials or technique they use, and so in that perspective photography is as valid as anything else you may regard as art. Honestly I think your opinion on art and photography in general is slightly ignorant, but you are entitled to that opinion nonetheless.
Reply:I'm a great fan of B/W photography (and cinema) so have no trouble answering this question.


B/W is not just a straight reflection of the world that we see, but for a photograph to be effective, as well as composition etc., it has to translate everything into pure tones and light values. This is also how any good painting or colour photograph should work anyway so as not to appear 'flat'.


And do have a look at Ansell Adams. He's amazing.
Reply:Photography is an art.


It takes skill to produce some amazing photographs.


A photographer has to set up the picture the way he/she wants the world to see it.


Sure, its easy for an amature to take a really good picture.


But I think photography is a way of appreciating the beauty of the world without having to change its pureness.





Art is anything created by anything that at least one person thinks is beautiful.


it doesnt matter how it was created, but what it is.
Reply:Art is not only a beautiful landscape, or capturing an image of a spectacular sunset, person, or whatever. Art can as easily


be captured by a camera as by a painter, the moment must be


that split second which captures something that can never be


seen again, nor copied through a parody. It's the ultimate moment of something that can't be painted or drawn, because it's happening now and it will never ever happen again. For instance...some of the photography of 9/11.


or as today, the bridge collapse in MN. It is now and peoples


faces, the terror, the sadness, that is as much art as a


Rembrandt.


Which art major would be the better choice?

I am a high school senior and plan to study at an art university. My number one choice is Savannah College of Art and Design, and I have applied to Pratt Institute, School of Visual Arts and College for Creative Studies in my home city. So far, on all my apps I have chosen animation as my major field of interest, though torn between animation and illustration. However, I have realized that illustrators often gain the oppurtunity of working in the animation field. I'm also a writer and wish to pursue this as well. Which would be the better career option? Animator or illustrator?

Which art major would be the better choice?
It sounds like you would probably have more options if you chose animation as you major. You could always take a minor in something like creative writing which would leave the writing option open. If you studied only writing and illustration the entire animation world would be closed to you because you wouldn't learn the necessary skills to work in that industry.
Reply:Illustration would be good. If you are a writter, then you could write your own children's stories and illustrate them as well. It's a big decision, so take your time and best of luck to you.


Installation art? what is it?

For my art assignment we have to talk about different types of art and their artists. One of the forms of art is installation. I have no idea what it is and if you could help me out that would be great. Any websites? Any good artists? thanks

Installation art? what is it?
Installation art is one of the newst and most popular forms of art- in British art is was fore-grounded by people like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.


It really began with a pile of bricks once exhibited in London (can't remember the artist's name!), that didn't rely on canvas or a sculptural medium like bronze or ceramic. It just used bricks.


Increasingly, modern art has come to use intallation as a means of forming and expressing ideas using lots of different media and a variety of spaces.


Installations can use light, natural forms, video, photography, everyday objects, metals and even human beings.


I think installation art can be pretentious at worst and awe-inspiring at best.


Artists using this medium are widespread now, but Anthony Gormley is another popular artists you could look up, as well as the two mentioned above!
Reply:Some of the most involved installations are by Christo ... we're talking acreage size compositions. Cool.


Is art really at an all time high?

According to surveys and reports art sales and art investment is at an all time high since the renaissance. But is this really true? As a struggling artist I find it hard enough to sell my work, and all of my colleagues have the same problem….. I have to work as a graphics designer to make ends meet. A friend who owns a gallery says sales are at an all time low, so how is art sales and investments at an all-time high?

Is art really at an all time high?
Art sales and investments are at an all time high. Unfortunately for modern artists the revenue is not in the modern works but dealings with existing and renowned works.


However don’t be discouraged, keep working and someday long after your dead and gone your work will become valuable!

College: Major in art history and minor in flim?

Right now I'm getting my associates in Fine arts at a community college, and i have no clue what i want to do from here.


i really love art, photography, screen writing, making movies, comedy, and interior design.


so i was thinking i would major in art history and maybe become and exhibit designer, and minor in film ( or vice a versa) so i could take screen writing and maybe become a write for show....





I'm always told I'm funny, and it would be a dream of mine to make it on to saturday night live, but it's a bit of a stretch... so i thought maybe film and art history as a backup.. good idea?

College: Major in art history and minor in flim?
Sounds to me like you're a little bit of all over the place. Not that you're any worse off than most undergrads.





I always recommend that students work with the career counseling office on their campus. They can get to know you better than us Yahoo! answer denizens, and thus can give you better recommendations about careers.





Regarding your ambitions--your blend of skills looks like it would work rather well, but if you want to be ON Saturday Night Live, as opposed to just writing for it, then you need a performance degree. Look around for a really good university program that offers a BFA (bachelor of fine arts) in theatre performance--do not settle for just a BA--and forget the art history minor for now, you'll learn plenty about the history of theatre in your BFA program and you can fill in the visual arts side on your own time.





As a BFA theatre major, you'll be expected to learn all of the aspects of show biz--not only acting/directing, but all kinds of tech (where your art/interior design skills will come in handy), dramaturgy, career management--and even a tad of scriptwriting, depending on the program. Get into one of those and that SNL appearance will be closer--how close, depends on your own talent and determination.





Note that BFA programs can be devilishly difficult to enter, and they'll work you hard-hard-hard! As a CC transfer, you should expect to take three full years of additional study to finish the program--try to find several to apply to, ensures you of probably getting into one if the others all reject you.

How to do a pop art?

A 12 yrs old garl here... how do i do a simple pop art? it need not to be so beautiful..i just want some tips and ideas from u..as i don't know what my art teacher was talking about pop art...she actually explain pop art to my class for about 1 hr and she even gave us see some examples of pop art. but i still do not understand...

How to do a pop art?
hey!


pop art is all about popular culture. A Picture of Brittney Spears for example. Or George Bush. Andy Warhol is the most famous pop artist, and he depicted everyday items, but made us think about the way we use /see them. So, pop art is whatever you see around you.

Define art.?

i have an intro to theater class and we had to define art. the majority of the class agreed that 'art is what artists do.' i don't quite agree with that. what is your definition of art? please help.

Define art.?
the world and everything in it. whether it be good or bad. beautiful or ugly, it is still a creation. and that is what art is. a creation that can be expressed in countless different ways. the art of painting, the art of office work. teh art of love, the art of hate.
Reply:Art is existence. You can find art in everything. Art is beauty, where positively or negatively. And everything is beautiful
Reply:Excuse me saying that 'art is what artists do' is in no way a classification or definition of 'Art' thats like saying that selling is what salesmen do........and there are so many types of salesmen........





Art is about feeling emotion whether it be music-dance-theatre-sculpture-or classical painting...poetry or writing a novel etc.... Then finding a way to share this....





Art is the most wonderful thing that we humans have, a way to express our individuality. If we are desperate to find a way of saying something......


there are so many different forms of art that will express all the emotions ..................





I am frustrated that the class was allowed to get away with such a benign definition.... surely the tutor pushed for more...


if not they are typical of todays tutors...easy option...


Is "art the process of evoking pity and terror," as suggested by Jubal in "Stranger in a Strange Land"?

Book by Robert A. Heinlein. Here is the full quote:


"Jubal shrugged. "Abstract design is all right - for wallpaper or linoleum. But art is the process of evoking pity and terror. What modern artists do is pseudo-intellectual masturbation. Creative art is intercourse, in which the artist renders emotional his audience. These laddies who won't deign to do that- or can't- lost the public. The ordinary bloke will not buy "art" that leaves him unmoved...."


Do you agree or disagree or have another opinion of this quote. Heinlein was discussing several Rodin sculptures prior to this in the book (pp. 325-6 in my edition.)

Is "art the process of evoking pity and terror," as suggested by Jubal in "Stranger in a Strange Land"?
Well, he was a little opinionated but in this case he has a point. I think he's too narrow about it though.





Art is the production of emotion in the viewer, not limited to pity and terror. Art can evoke positive emotions too, and still be art. It doesn't have to be representational either, (in contrast to Heinlein's opinion), I have seen abstract art that is pleasing and some that's terrifying. Old Bob wouldn't agree but that's my opinion.





The point he was trying to make, I think, is that some artists get so involved in the "art for art's sake" that they make art that has no point at all, it just IS. That's what Heinlein disagreed with.





That's an awesome book, I love it, and his interpretations of the three Rodin sculptures are brilliant and very informed, do you think so?





Edit to Kyle: He never lived in Manchester! :) He was a famous and eventually very wealthy writer, one of science fiction's "Big Three", along with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C.Clarke. He was also the first sci-fi author to have a story published in a mainstream ("glossy") publication, in the New Yorker, I think it was. This is all before paperbacks, when such stories were usually published in magazines printed on cheap paper ("pulps"). He was to some extent a product of his generation and his very strong opinions, but he was a master storyteller nonetheless, and that was what he valued in writing.
Reply:In art, as well as in most aspects of expressing ourselves, there are few absolutes. While art can, and sometimes does, invoke pity and terror, it also encourages and induces love, contentment, passion, longing, patriotism, humor, profound insight and thought, etc., etc., etc.





A quote from a book, be it fiction or essay or biography, is not validation, but opinion. Nothing more. Nothing less.





But answer your question: This quote would only apply to a narrow point of view regarding modern art as seen through the eyes of a person who accepted specific standards for what art is or should be. So it really isn't true unless you share this narrow viewpoint.
Reply:I'd largely agree with the quote. For me art must move emotionally. But whether it does can depend on the viewer. Ultimately it's the viewer who completes a work of art, for themselves. That's perhaps why the significance of a work can change over time. That said, no work of art has ever terrified me, though I can burst into tears. But then, only real snakes, and crowds, really terrify me much.
Reply:Sounds like this guy is a close minded zealot with an inflatable ego doll. Art is a means of communicating something thought, felt, imagined, yearned for, and so forth... it isn't limited to irritating people via images or making them cry from pity.





The ordinary "Bloke" doesn't want to be moved. That's why he doesn't eat spicy food and exotic cheeses. The ordinary "Bloke" watches boob toob and fills his tub with filth at the pub. He is moved watching ball games. He isn't interested in the Hypocrisy in the world, the starving people in Africa, or the danger of governmental instability coupled with nuclear weapons. The author of this work either 1)Doesn't sell his art or 2) Lives in Grenwich Village, where the ordinary "bloke" is a starving artist as well. I think that he probably lives in Manchester.





These folks who join the imaginary revolution to champion causes imagined in their own heads are performing a "solo-act" themselves and simply want to project this out onto others who threaten their position. Those people who perform "abstract" art. Those who aren't disciplined enough to dedicate time towards perfecting the art of portrait painting. "Abstract" art can also communicate something that transcends the absolute form, down to a sort of universal lateral sense of commonality between seemingly disconnected subjects.


What's the art scene like in Seattle area?

Is there a large artist community is Seattle? A good number of contemporary galleries? Does the art tend to be more crafty, or is there a market for high-end fine art? (Is it all just pretty landscape paintings and still lifes, or is there a place for conceptual art as well? Performance art?)

What's the art scene like in Seattle area?
Yes, there is a significant artist community in Seattle. Lots of contemporary galleries. Though you can find art that is crafty (especially at the Pike Place Market and in shops near touristy spots), there is definitely a market for high-end fine art. Get a Sunday Seattle newspaper or a Thurs or Friday one and look at the inserts that describe the art scene and what's showing at the galleries. Glass art is big here because of Chihuly. Yes, there's conceptual art as well, and some performance art. The best way to find out would be to read about the art scene, call a couple of galleries, and talk to the people there to find out more detail about what you want to know. Start with http://www.gonorthwest.com/washington/se... to get some links and phone numbers and go from there.





Good luck.
Reply:I love Seattle, the art scene is a little different. More real life imagination, not very many fancy pic's. They have this place called " Pikes Place Market" it is down town Seattle. Look it up online, it's totally awsome.. Lots of artist and I find more beautiful abstract paintings which I love cause of the imagination put into them. There are not alot of the boring landscape and still pic's. Unfortunately there is not a high demand for art, although there are plenty of galleries. Best bet is to take a day trip here and find out if this is what you want. Good luck. Best wishes that you find what you are looking for...

Difference between Computer Arts: New Media and Graphic Design at Academy of Art University?

I'm planning on going to the Academy of Art University in SF, but I'm stuck between whether I should take Computer Arts: New Media or Graphic Design. Could someone please tell me the difference? Also, if I do take Computer Arts:New Media, what type of career opportunities are there? I know obviously if I take Graphic Design, I become a Graphic Designer, am I right? Please help!

Difference between Computer Arts: New Media and Graphic Design at Academy of Art University?
Hello! I'm a student at AAU and here's about as much as I know:





New Media is part of the Computer Arts school, so you're going to learn more about web design and web graphics. You'll probably learn programs like Photoshop, Flash, After Effects Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc. and probably some basic HTML, CSS, etc.





Graphic Design is more traditional arts based, where you'll learn the principals of design and stuff like typology, calligraphy, print and package design.





You can always change your major if you end up liking one more than the other. You can probably even float between the two and still be a graphic designer, but learn the tools of the new media trade.
Reply:New Media art is art the utilizes computers and technology not normally used in or artistic media.


Is art an expression of an individual? how does it apply to individualism?

I'm doing a report on ayn rands philosophy of individualism vs collectivism. she uses creative art forms to show it (ex: a architect going against architects who dont think and just do as told.) and how does it apply to other art forms....





When it comes down to it





is art a form of an individual or is it for a collective group?

Is art an expression of an individual? how does it apply to individualism?
Art for self is highly individualist. Art for money or popularity is highly collectivist.
Reply:Art is highly individualistic, with "cutting edge" artists - those going against the traditional approaches - historically becoming the most honored in their fields.





Ayn Rand's individualism was considered 'dangerous' by some in that she promoted a kind of extreme detachment from others views and opinions which is of course necessary to make a contribution artistically. It is interesting that in the field of religious mysticism and even philosophy, detachment or disinterest in other egos is an imperative for "returning to being" or what we understand now as psychological empowerment.
Reply:N.B Miller pretty much summed it up nicely, but if you would really like to study Ayn Rand's theory on Aesthetics, I would heartily recommend her book "The Romantic Manifesto."





Also, if you have time to spare, I would definitely recommend that you read her fiction novel "The Fountainhead". It is the story about an architect named Howard Roark. She choose architecture specifically because of its blend of art and science. She gives you two characters, Peter Keating, an architect of mediocre talent who makes his way by imitating others and conforming to the standards of others and Howard Roark, a pariah in the field due to his refusal to conform to modern standards. I won't spoil it for you, but her novel deals with the way second-handers live compared to creators.


Pet Art??? would you like it of your pet?

is anyone interested in art of their loving pet? msg me if you'd like art of your pet i know someone who does the best art of pets i just love it its not that expensive eitheir.

Pet Art??? would you like it of your pet?
as in... paintings? id like a hollow sculpture. and have the head come off so i can put stuff in there. shes a pug. but nevermind.
Reply:how much???
Reply:There are alot of people that are interested in something like that. It is a great art to take up. I actually would love to have something like that but could not afford to have a painting done of all my pets and would be unable to choose between them. But who knows. E-mail me prices if you do not mind. A great place to advertise something like that would be in Craigs list. Don't advertise in the forums but go to the pet section and place a free ad. Wish you and your friend the best of luck!!


To Major or Minor in Art History?

I absolutely adore Art History, but I dont think that a BA in Art History will get me far, even though I will throughly enjoy the classes.





Can anyone think of something an Art History Major can do other than teach at a college/university, without moving to a major city like NYC?


Should I minor in Art History (I plan on my major being Special Ed, History Ed or English Ed), just because I like it, or should I not even bother and teach myself more about it?





Will a minor in Art History get me anywhere? Especially since I cannot travel to Europe to see the Greek or Renaissance works (my favorites).





Im one semester away from my Associates (basics) and Im contemplating what to get after this. My head hurts from trying to wrap my head around the possibilities and weigh what I like to study versus what will get me a decent job ;)

To Major or Minor in Art History?
I suggest that you MINOR in Art History.


It's just too specific to be a practical major on its own.


However, you can still relate that minor to your major.


You can major in Humanities, Anthropology, Fine Arts (or any number of art-related degrees), Education...


You'll still have lots of possibilities.


It just depends on which direction you want your career to take.
Reply:a major in art history can either teach, own/work in a gallery, or manage an artist. good luck with that one, you need to move to a place where art is/will be IN... i would say keep it as a minor and just be really good with art because it's your passion and pick one of your other choices as a major.





or you can always bag the degree for art history and just be into it freely as much as your heart desires. have art histroy be your passion.

What Art Tablet is the best for an honest price but is still good?

I'm going to be buying my frist art tablet soon, but I don't know what to get!





I want to get a tabelt that will allow me to explore my art talents to create wonderful art works, but, I don't want to spend over $800 for it, any tips? Plus, whats some good software for it?

What Art Tablet is the best for an honest price but is still good?
Wow $800 is a lot to spend on your first tablet. I spent $300 for a Wacom Intuos 3 6x8 just recently. I'm still getting use to it and adjusting its settings but it has worked great for me. They do have a cheaper version called a graphire thats around $100 less but it was not compatible with the airbrush pen and had a lower level of pressure sensitivity. Also do not expect your first attempt at drawing with it to be amazing. It took me a few hours to adjust to drawing curves on it. Plus I still prefer to use my mouse then the one that comes with the tablet. I am pretty sure that the high price is because of the tablet size. You do not need a giant 12x12 tablet to draw nice. In fact it increases the area you must move the pen to draw or select tools. Most of the Wacom products also come with free software.


How do i take a scanned sketching and make line art on photoshop cs2?

i have a sketching i drew and i would LOVE to put it onto my computer as line art


and turn it into thos animme pictures


i know how to color it because i have colored other people's line art before


but i have never made my own line art


and i want to know how





the end result should end up anime-ish like


http://l-a-b-o.deviantart.com/art/Color0...


or http://autumndark.deviantart.com/art/Pri...





and the line art should look like


http://plaguedog.deviantart.com/art/Line...


how the lines are thin and thick and all





i tried looking at tutorials


but it either said to use the pen tool


WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO USE


or to use the preset brush, but i don't have that brush





so


could you show me how to use a step by step instruction how to use pen tool


or another way to make the line art





ORRRR


email me at iloovedoggies@gmail.com


to request for the sketching

How do i take a scanned sketching and make line art on photoshop cs2?
This question still puzzles me a little but from what i see there are only two options:


1)you get a tablet like wacom...personally i'm saving for a bamboo fun because you can even write with it...it has some softwares that if you install you write on the tablet and it "translates" it like this + the drawings look like sketches,but because you use a brush they are already inked...


2)there's the pen tool...not much to say here...all you can do is practice and practice...at first i couldn't make a curve right so i gave up...turns out i came back to it to try again; so i got better but still not good enough to ink my work;


So if you have problems with inking try doing something else with your art...digital painting or playing with the colors if your in the mood.





here's a link to the tutorial i used to learn about the pen...it really shows the differences: http://acaraluv.deviantart.com/art/linea...


and a link to my deviant page:


http://blackdelphin.deviantart.com/


hope you'll give me yours too^^


and finally a link to a digital drawing with a tablet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxIRHcFYO...





Hope it helped and good luck!!!


Album art not showing up on iPod?

Does anyone know of a "cover limit" for the new iPod? After taking a week off, I've started back with putting some more CD's onto my iPod and it won't transfer the album art. I've had no problems until now. All previous work has their covers. I usually have to manually put the album art in a file then extract it to the info for that particular album. I still do that but the iPod isn't showing the art now. Anyway, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Album art not showing up on iPod?
I found out that there are some bugs, according to apple's website.


I also found out that my ipod won't show the album artwork unless i put it on every music that is from the same album.


I have no idea if they hav a cover limit but I think there's no such thing.


Photography Art or Not?

i recently asked a quetion and someone said that my photos where just snap shoots not art in any form so what do you think is photography to you an art or just simply snapshoots








i know at the end of they day photos are snap shots however do you consider photographt an art form. I know i do

Photography Art or Not?
Some photographs are as artistic as my 3 year olds crayon scribble renderings of me and my wife. They are merely an attempt at recreating what is seen with the human eye with the desired medium.





I am a maturing amateur photographer, but take great pride and care into my pictures. Not all of them are art. As a matter of fact, some are quite the opposite. They are garbage. What is more amazing to me is that my off handed shot, or lucky click of the shutter rendered more "artistic" value than a planned or thought-through shot.





Quite honestly, photography done correctly is the most tangible art form for most people. A photograph can evict as much or more emotion, joy, laughter, or devotion as any form of classical art.
Reply:Yes I consider it art.... I am sure that myself and other photographers usually spend more time on a single picture than most folks with a camera and you can tell....
Reply:Yes, a lot of photography can be considered art. It all depends on how the person takes the images, and puts it together by pointing the camera. A lot of times, you can find art classes in colleges for photography.
Reply:Of course!


In photography, its all about capturing the right light at a right angle. Snap shots are used to discribe art work taken without any care, such as random quick pictures of a friend or something, so no I don't consider snap shots to be art, but photography that has taken a lot of time to do, I consider to be art.
Reply:I think answer on your question depends on the type of photography you do. Photography is painting with light, if you do really well on this concept then you might even be considered as an artist. As for me, I'm just a street photographer, I'm merely photographing life nothing more.








Watch this video: http://www.sandrophoto.com/2007/11/25/al...
Reply:Photography is the Folk Art of the 20th/21st centuries.





By that, I mean that it's value is diminished in some people's view because it has been available to everyone from nearly the beginning, thus making virtually everyone a "practitioner" ... compared to say, painting.





Nevertheless, there will always still be a Fine caliber of photography that will always unquestionably be art.
Reply:There is a lot that goes into photography that makes it art.





However, not every photographer or photo is art.
Reply:You are taking one or two comments from your last question too much to heart. (yes I read and answered it) Keep working, we all are learning here. It takes time and hands on practice to develop a photographic eye, your trying to capture a 3d world on a 2d medium, and doing so consistently just takes practice. Hang in there, you do have some good shots, and remember the best image you'll ever make is the one your about to take !!!!





G'Luck, and keep shooting, and plz, keep asking questions, you WILL get some good if not honest feedback.
Reply:Snapshot is exactly what it says - a shot taken in a 'snap' or a moment. Usually, this is without any pre-planning at all and the results usually show just that. There are occasions when a snapshot provides the basis for art but the photographer must be able to see the content and use it to create art.


More often than not, a 'photograph' is created by a person with artistic talent, one with an eye to see, and the end-image is usually conceived in the mind before the shutter is opened.


You do not provide a link to your art-work so we cannot be any judge.


The fact is that, by human nature, all camera-users believe that they are very good photographers, especially when their friends and family tell them that the pictures are 'Awesome!'


Life is not as straightforward as that.


Be brave - show us what you have!
Reply:There is fine art photography and then there is everyday photography. Stuff like "cheese!" of you and your friends is everyday, fine art is trying to express a specific message.





When someone said you weren't taking "art" they probably meant you in paticular and not photography in general. I probably wouldn't agree with them since everybody is capable of art....just some are more talented then others.
Reply:Hell yes it's art. I mostly process my own film and print my own photographs in the darkroom. In no way are any of those ever "snapshots"
Reply:"Snapshots" are images that show no apparent composition or photographic skills. There appear to have been "taken from the hip"





Art on the other hand usually involves previsualization, exacting composition, perfect exposure and development of the film and printing the image and processing them using archival methods.





You did not give us a link so we can see for ourselves.





Here are some images that could be considered commercial photo art.

Reply:Every aspect of life, including extremely-mundane-every-day things, can be transformed into “art”.


How?


By executing them or performing them in an “artful” way.


What is “artful”?


Volumes are written about the meaning of art. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.


Bottom line…..if you are somehow “drawn” to a picture for whatever reason…then the photographer has given your eyes something to pause and focus on….and not all “snapshots” have that quality.

GCSE Art on 'Art in boxes'?

So basically, for my art gcse, I've choose the question 'Art in Boxes - A contemporary issue'





So i'll do something in the media (I'd like to do about size 0), But how do i do artist research for this? And how do i link it to Boxes?

GCSE Art on 'Art in boxes'?
Art in boxes- a contempory issue





Thats sounds to me like its pointing towards the issue of art movements- how contemporary is constantly being segregated into isms... Thats what I would look at.


Game Art: What should I do?

I want to take game art, like make characters and the enviroment, but I don't know what classes to take or what school to go to. Is game art under game design, visual arts, game animation?

Game Art: What should I do?
first, go to an art school that teaches computer art skills, a college or university with classes in computer art and graphic arts, animation. look online or in your local yellow pages for schools or colleges. look in their catalogs for info on classes.


Fine art Giclee or fine art print?

I am planning to purchase an impressionist art picture for my living room and I do not which is better a giclee or a fine art print, I know that giclee is a bit more expensive but I do not if it is worth it.

Fine art Giclee or fine art print?
You need to find out a bit more about these prints.





Lithograph prints can be Limited Edition (only a certain number of prints are made) or Open Edition (unlimited number - unsigned, these are usually referred to as Fine Art Prints). A signed limited edition in the lower numbers (under 1,000) is far more valuable than an open edition - it's usually printed with better colour balance %26amp; on better paper.





Giclee prints are generally made with light-fast inks on acid-free paper. They are almost always Signed Limited Editions and usually in the low numbers. This print's market value is higher than either of the above, as it is considered to have a longer life (archival means 100 years in gallery conditions) and the quality of reproduction often rivals lithos.





That said, hopefully, you'll buy the piece of art that you love - you'll have to live with it on your wall!


Ways art/literature/film might NOT contribute to false consciousness?

if art is designed with political intentions, it is propaganda. doesn't mean it's without philosophical resonance, but... as an instrument for social change, it's pretty blunt.





when it's looked at recent history, and - let's say - sociological observations remain clear, and dramatic potential is fulfilled - it can be a cathartic / sublimating force, where people's nascent political stirrings are expunged by the end of the experience.





where political/historical concerns are wrongly attended to (eg just misguided) or lacking altogether, you've got clear false consciousness.





does art need to be useful? i recognise there's no direct, one to one relationship between social change and art. fine... i somehow still need it to be useful... (yes, i see the irony...)





guidance to further reading would be welcome!!!

Ways art/literature/film might NOT contribute to false consciousness?
Almost any 'medium' can be used as a vehicle for a message. Not everyone always understands the message the artist is 'trying' to manifest, %26amp; often they invent their own message....%26amp; the 'truth' gets lost, but that is not always a bad thing.
Reply:Art is always useful. I can use it to propagate my lies!


Ahahahahaha
Reply:Humans brains are memetic playground, the place where ideas live. The purpose (maybe not the right word) of a meme is to replicate in much the same way that genes replicate. Memes exist in communities and on many different levels, one meme supports others that increase their success, they are socially altruistic and personally selfish (if personification of ideas is your bag!)


So, getting to the point.. Any creative work you produce is the manifestation of the memes which you are infected by, it is therefore the act of spreading these memes. Whether a sentence or a powerful work of art, the base idea is the same - spread my memes to other minds, because these are the ideas I enjoy spreading (which is what makes them so successful!)


So I don't think that art needs to cause social change, it just needs to pass ideas from one person to another, whether these are good or bad ideas from the point of view of society is not so relevant - you are a slave to ideas and will spread the ones that you find the most contagious.


The end result is movement within the meme pool, the spread and evolution of ideas themselves. Whether they cause good or bad things to happen in meatspace in the long run is completely irrelevant, the important thing is how spreading them makes you feel.


So, you're quite partial to memes to do with virtues and social change. In genetic terms, this is their fitness for survival in the landscape of your mind. Myself, I prefer memes for the sake of memes themselves.. try not to restrict yourself to a genre and you're likely to make a much bigger difference in the long run.

Hitler + Art + love for animals?

Again essay! lol


My next paragraph has to do with Hitler's love for art and animals.


I can't really find alot on his love for art as much as his love for animals. Could anyone tell me about his love for art and for animals in details?

Hitler + Art + love for animals?
I've read many, many biographies of Hitler. Each one inevitably discusses his love of art and animals (especially his obsession with wolves) in great detail. I would simply Google "Hitler's love of art" and "Hitler wolf dog" and you'll get countless hits...easily enough to write a paragraph.





Hitler was so obsessed with wolves, that he had his younger sister, Paula Hitler, change her name to Paula Wolf.





Here's some good hits I came up with:

Reply:Hitler painted and some of his stuff has been sold recently. He also had a pet German shepherd named Blondie.
Reply:Uh, I just googled "Hitler art" and "Hitler animal" and clicked on the first links for each. It doesn't take that much googling to find lots of stuff.


Also, wikipedia is a good source as usual. Just type in Hitler and it mentions that he wanted to be a painter when he was young, and that most biographers said that he liked animals.





Some of his works were auctioned last Sept. See the pictures here:

And this revisionist site has some interesting things to say about his art: http://www.hitler.org/art/


How to ship art worldwide?

I am setting up a gallery which will sell curated pieces from artists based in key locations of the world. Buyers will be able to buy anywhere in the world.





What I need is to understand:


1. How is fine art shipped from around the world, what are the considerations?


2. How are craft pieces which will include decorated tables, shipped?


3. Do FedEx and DHL also pack art pieces? Is there an art packaging service with a global presence?





Reference to online guides will be invaluable, though I am have already googled and yahooed. Need advice from those in the art field.

Is Art and Craft the same thing? What makes it Art?

I say a craft can be art but art is what it is and can not be a craft.

Is Art and Craft the same thing? What makes it Art?
Art is an act of creation, when images and objects, sights and sounds, or drawings and carvings convey the beauty and splendor of the world, or realize the imagination of the artist, for the purpose of self-expression or the shared enjoyment of its creation. Art is that which elevates our interpretation of the world and of ourselves from simple description or narrative to the sublime.


A craft is a skill, especially involving practical arts. It may refer to a trade or particular art.





Crafts as artistic practices are defined either by their relationship to functional or utilitarian products, such as sculptural forms in the vessel tradition, or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, glass, textiles, and metal. Folk art follows craft traditions, in contrast to fine art or high art. Craft or craft work is also a general term given to activity by people in a covern or an occult group.
Reply:The concept of art is abstract and origins in the eye of the beholder.


Craft is something usefull in the everyday life.
Reply:ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are relatively modern terms.





I included a link to "What is Art", an essay from by Leo Tolstoy. Continue reading in the included sources....
