What is Art?

2011-08-03T04:51:00.000-07:00

The word art itself means ‘the quality, production and expression in according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful and appealing, or of more than ordinary significance’. With this in mind art can be related to a many number of genres from drawing and painting through to dance and sculpture. As beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is art, one man’s idea of art may not be another’s so to rigidly define what is art is near enough impossible.

The main areas of art that most people think of include drawing, painting, illustrations, fine art, collages, mosaics and sculptures. However dance is a form of art and so is photography, whether it is digital or traditional. Films are also another more modern form of art as is cosmetics. Tapestry, embroidery and various other textile forms are also are encompassed within the field of art, so it is easy to see why defining art is not a simple process.

Earliest forms of art came from the Stone Age and were rock carvings known as petroglyphs. Subsequent developments include engraving, sculpture and cave paintings. While the earliest artists would have lived somewhere between 300,000 and 1 million BCE and would have been descendants of Homo erectus. The later Stone Age artists would have lived around 100,000 to 400,000 BCE and were types of Homo sapiens such as Neanderthals.

From there on in the realm of art has grown and expanded to what we have today. To some when they are asked what is art they think mainly of famous painting such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Vincent Van Gough’s Starry Night or Sunflowers. While others may immediately think of sculptures such as Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker Statue or the stunning Venus de Milo re-created by Canova. There again a mother may well claim that her child’s first finger painting qualifies.

Through varying art forms people have the chance to express themselves, whether it is generally considerd in good or bad taste it is neither here nor there. Art is a visual form of internal expression and allows people to convey messages, ideas and places in a way that works for them.

NEED THIS TATTOO REMOVED

2011-07-29T12:45:00.000-07:00

Tattoos became very popular in the 90s, especially with college aged people. Anyone and everyone got tattoos from bankers to bikers. Many people regret getting a tattoo later on in life. There are many reasons some people regret putting another person’s name on their skin while others regret their tattoos because of what they stand for, such as gang tattoos.

What ever the reason for an unwanted tattoo, more people than ever before are searching for new ways to remove tattoos without the use of painful and outdated methods such as Dermatological.

This is a painful procedure in which the top layer of skin is sanded off. Or Excision where the tattoo is cut out and the skin is sewn up after. These two methods are extremely painful and can cause horrific scarring. They should only be used in extreme cases when there are no other options available. Even then it is advisable to think very carefully about going ahead with these procedures.

Lasers

Laser surgery for removal of tattoos is a procedure in which a beam of light is fired in fast bursts heating the pigment in the skin. This method will take 6-8 treatments for removal and 7-10 days after treatment for recovery time. Beware that some of the inks used for tattoos can react with this treatment causing permanent dark spots can't be removed.

Burning sensations may be felt, along with minor scarring to the area where the tattoo was, although a small scar is less of a concern than a large or offensive tattoo. The cost per treatment will range from $200 to $2,000, depending where you get the procedure done.

Intense Light Therapy
Intense light therapy is very new procedure in which an intense light much like the light a laser is uses. Gel is applied to the skin, then a laser wand emits pulses of light to the area. Intense light therapy is less painful than laser therapy.

It is believed to be far more effective, requiring fewer return visits and less chance of scarring. But, intense light therapy is far more expensive than laser therapy. Many clinics charge up to $10 per pulse. You do the math!

Removal Creams
There are many do-it-yourself tattoo removal creams available. Some of the more popular ones include Tat B Gone and Tattoo-OFF. These methods have mixed results some people are happy with the results and comment that the product has faded their tattoo drastically, while others argue that the results were minimal to none.

New Outer Banks fine art photography print – birds at sunrise

2011-07-27T08:59:00.000-07:00

I’ve published fine art photography landscape prints similar to this before, but I really like this one.The title is Morning Commute.

The picture is of a sunrise on Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There was a flock – a constant stream of birds flying north. You can see them silhouetted against the sun. You only see a small portion of the flock here. When taking the picture, the flock seemed to stretch down the coast as far as my eyes could see.

Sunrise at Sunset – a beautiful sunrise on the North Carolina coast

2011-07-27T08:57:00.000-07:00

In this fine art seascape print, the sun peaks through a tiny sliver of sky between the ocean and the clouds. I captured many different images during this sunrise. Over a period of only a few minutes, the sky continually changed colors and brilliance. It was a spectacular sunrise.It was captured at Sunset Beach, North Carolina which is located on the coast just south of the southern end of the Outer Banks.

Depending upon the season of the year, there are times you can capture a sunrise and a sunset on the same day at Sunset Beach.

US MILITARY TATTOOS

2011-07-25T09:40:00.000-07:00

According to studies and polls, armed forces tattoos are the greatest in the Navy, with the Army second, the Marines third, and then the Air Force. The style of tattoo designs seems to differ depending on the specific branch of armed forces.

Tattoos in the US armed forces have a long and colorful tradition. The millions of Americans who have served either as active service personnel or reservists means a countless number of inked war veterans. Many of them have gotten tattoos as a constant reminder that they once belonged to a particular unit or platoon, to acknowledge their loyalty not only to their unit but also to their country, to show feelings of camaraderie they felt, or even to mark the loss of someone close to them.

Lighting The Sky

2011-07-24T12:39:00.000-07:00

Some months ago, here in Brno was held the anual fireworks festival Ignis Brunensis but for bad luck I could not go to main shows that usually held at the lake Prehrada where is kind of "easy" take nice photos. But to be honest I am not good with the fireworks, this is my third time (the two first were in Peru at some traditional religious celebration) trying to get something really nice but no success. From those days I like these two photographs they are like the eruption of some volcano or some galactic explosion.
