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.
Reply:Starbucks does a great job, go out for one lol !!

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)

What type of Art is this called?
It's commercial illustration that's borrowing heavily from the visual language of graffiti art.
Reply:i think it's called "wildstyle" or "old school".
Reply:It's commercial illustration, or graphic design. Either one will fit the bill as a reference to the type of artwork.

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: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!!!!
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!

Does Art beget Art?
Like a painting or the the trees may inspire some else to paint a painting. Art and natural beauty of Nature, or the Art of another wo/man, let it be his/er painting, writing, music, or even their work.
Does Art beget Art?
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.
Reply:well of might begets might, shouldnt art beget art?
Reply:I don't know. I reckon it could.

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.
