Ryan Alexsev finds inspiration for his works of art in children's breakfast cereals Using colored breakfast cereals and candy bars that it finds Ryan makes art forms, perhaps the best description of it is scary. Ryan was used in the manufacture of breakfast cereals model of the work For the Love of God, a skull covered with diamonds, so if you see it accurate that is because it used a real skull, as used in the manufacture of a panel of Osama bin Laden.

5- Full Heads of matches

Scottish artist David Mach, he makes statues of things ties, coats, tires, old newspapers, and also matches where the Mach uses about 30 thousand a matchstick to make limited copies of the statues to sell almost the same number. Takes to complete each statue about a month, because it needs to paste all the promises carefully in plastic or fiberglass, and does not color the sticks himself but Istordam from Japan, people of color to make the statues for many celebrities and often animals mysterious, because of the belief by some that the fire in those statues will give a form Mach the better, usually at the end of every show, he set fire to one of the heads.

Plush Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:16:00 +0000

- Plush (from French peluche) is a textile having a cut nap or pile the same as fustian or velvet.

Originally the pile of plush consisted of mohair or worsted yarn, but now silk by itself or with a cotton backing is used for plush, the distinction from velvet being found in the longer and less dense pile of plush. The soft material is largely used for upholstery and furniture purposes, and is also much employed in dress and millinery.

Modern plush are commonly manufactured from synthetic fibres such as polyester. One of the largest uses of this fabric is in the production of toys, with small stuffed animals made from plush fabric, such as teddy bears, known as plushies. The French term for "teddy bear" is ours en peluche. Plush is also one of the main materials for the construction of designer toys.

Street Artists

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:05:00 +0000

- Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to unsanctioned art, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term street art or the more specific post-graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art. Artists have challenged art by situating it in non-art contexts. ‘Street’ artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. They attempt to have their work communicate with everyday people about socially relevant themes in ways that are informed by esthetic values without being imprisoned by them. John Fekner defines street art as “all art on the street that’s not graffiti.

Drawing on the rocks

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:45:00 +0000

- Rocks are one of the easiest subjects to draw, if you understand light and shadow. Making a rock look realistic isn't hard. They don't move. You can draw from real ones. A little pebble can become a boulder in your landscape, or even a mountain.

Pick a pebble or rock, and set it out with a light that's at an angle to it on your table. Move the light or the rock until it has an interesting shadow. Interesting shadows are distinct, easy to see, take up a reasonable area near the object and show a little of its shape.

If your pebble is rounded and smoothed from a river it may be a simple oval without any features or details. But if it's broken or odd shaped, turn it so those cracks, shadowed indentations and details show.

Sketch the rock with your pencil, lightly. Sketch the outline of the shadow and of any shadows on the rock, as well as cracks and details. Take your time and try to get the shape of the rock accurate in your contour drawing. This is like other still life drawing, the more often you draw one particular rock, the more accurately you'll draw any rocks. Odd shapes are sometimes easier to get in proportion than perfect ovals, but give it some care and keep sketching till you have an accurate contour drawing.

STEVE MILLS artist

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:40:00 +0000

- STEVE MILLS Born in 1959 in Boston, MA. Raised as a child on Martha's Vineyard, MA, his family moved to Walpole, MA as a young teen though he has continued to summer on Martha's Vineyard.

Every child drew when young, though Mills requested a pencil over crayons to get better detail. This fascination with detail became his calling card. He sold his first drawing at the age of 11 and has been selling ever since. He helped pay for his college degree by drawing yachts as a summer job on the docks of Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard. Having never taken an art class in high school, and studying to be a musician, of all things he began college as meteorology major. This did not work well for him and ended up working in a factory for a year instead, bringing him to a new reality. He resumed his education at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts where he became an art major. Realizing his talent through his painting professor, William Kendall, he embraced the art program, received his BA in Art and graduated magna cum laude in 1982.

Paper

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 10:48:00 +0000

- Art on Paper magazine was founded in New York City in 1968 as The Print Collectors Newsletter by Paul Cummings. Judith Goldman was the editor. Within a year, Cummings sold it to Jacqueline Brody, who published it until 1996.

From the start, the title The Print Collectors Newsletter, was a misnomer. The newsletter covered limited-edition prints -- from the Renaissance to the present -- but it also published on artists' books, multiples, ephemera, and photography. An issue typically included a feature story or interview, industry news, reviews of recently released prints or photographs, auction reports, and book reports. Contributors included Holland Cotter, Richard Field, Nancy Princenthal, and many others.

In 1996, Gabriella Fanning, the former editor of the art magazine Contemporanea, purchased The Print Collectors Newsletter. She changed the name to On Paper, converted it to a journal format, and expanded its coverage to include drawings. Two years later, in 1998, she changed the publication's title and format changed again, this time to a full-color glossy magazine titled Art on Paper.

Tracing paper is a type of translucent paper. It is made by immersing uncut and unloaded paper of good quality in sulphuric acid for a few seconds. The acid converts some of the cellulose into amyloid form having a gelatinous and impermeable character. When the treated paper is thoroughly washed and dried, the resultant product is much stronger than the original paper. Tracing paper is resistant to oil grease and to a large extent impervious to water and gas.

Flower Bouquet

noreply@blogger.com (Roro) — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 09:30:00 +0000

- A flower bouquet is a collection of flowers in a creative arrangement. There are different kinds including nosegay, crescent, and cascading bouquets. Flower bouquets are often given for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. They are also used extensively in weddings. Traditionally the bride will hold the bouquet, and the maid of honor will hold it during the ceremony. After the wedding the bride will toss it over her shoulder, and it is believed that whoever catches the bouquet is the next in line to be married. This practice may be related to the Golden Apple of Discord myth.

Even before flower bouquets were used by brides in wedding they were used in a different form of art. They appeared as early as the 17th century and possibly earlier. Flower bouquets were captured in paintings and on pottery as decorations.

"The art of arranging flowers was first documented in the 17th century, when the Dutch, in particular, painted wonderful informal arrangements of flowers..."

"In the 18th century, arrangements were used to decorate the houses of the wealthy families and the aristocracy..."

In years past, as a matter of tradition, an upper class bride was required to hold a bouquet of roses or flowers as she walked down the aisle to prevent body odor from spreading and to drive away evil spirits.
