Arts & Humanities - 17 August 2006

I'm just curious as I was cleaning out a corner of my house as I'm fixing to move into my studio this weekend, and came across a ton and a half of paintbrushes that I completely forgot about!! The thing is, I forgot about these and was working with a few that weren't stashed away, and I thought I was running sorta low on some sizes (little ones for details and bigger ones for washes!) anyway, I am just curious as to how many paintbrushes you all use when painting, and how many you have. I mean, not an exact count, but I was just wondering if maybe I have too many... I think with all of my mediums I work with(not in the package, but used) (oil, acrylic, watercolor, tempera)- I never mix brushes- each medium has it's own set of brushes- probably hovering in the 600+ region.... and old dummy here ordered more thinking I misplaced a ton of them!LOL!!!
Oil takes more brushes for me, and watercolor the least.
This was just a little fun question. LOL!!! :)

It happens every time. They thought the world would end less than a hundred years after Jesus' death. They thought the world would in 666 a.d. They thought the world would end when we hit 1000 a.d. They thought the world would end in 1666, because of the "Devil's Number." And they must have thought to then, with the London Fire and the Lisbon Earthquake. They thought the world would in when we hit 2000 a.d. Why does every period in history believe that THEIR times are the END times?

Ok my first question is this - What are some of the best photography schools in the nation?

My second question is - Are they really worth the $100,000+ that you're going to be shelling out for them?

My third question is - What are some good public universities that offer excellent photography courses without the private art school tuition?

Long story short - I don't have any money. I can't get grants because my parents make too much money apparently, but the govn't doesn't consider the fact that my parents have six kids to put thru college and they are not able or willing to pay even a quarter of what a private art school would cost. I know that as a photographer it is very unlikely that I would ever be able to repay that kind of student loan. I am so interested in getting a good photography degree and would really like to become a photographer, so any advice that you guys could offer would be great.

P.S. I live in Texas so public schools instate would be a nice bit of info.

The Mona Lisa maybe, or perhaps the venus di milo? Interested to know what you think.

In a Rush song of the same title, lyricist Neal Peart states, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice".

Many of you have posted that there is no God.

Many of you have suffered a trauma, and have stopped believing in God.

Using humanistic logic and deductive reasoning, then, would you agree or disagree with the following statement:

I have chosen not believe in God. Since I have made this choice, there may be a God, I just choose not to believe in him. Since I choose not to believe in God, there still must be one, but I do not believe.

This is a philosophical debate, so I would appreciate intelligent, rational arguements, please.

Life goes by so quickly,
We must live it.
Before we discover it has passed through our fingertips,
Then it will be too late to live and love and learn.

Life is a speeding road,
We have to just enjoy the ride.
Because when it stops,
We travel into the unknown.

We only live once,
Why not live like you want to?
Your last day could be today,
Even though we pray to God it isn't.

With life, you never know,
Live and be happy, and you will grasp life.
Instead of letting it just drift on by,
And having no time to live and to love and to learn.


I made the first stanza up a few days ago and finished it just now. What do you think?

Tell me of the image you have of God. Everyone has an image of who he/she conceives God to be and this affects the way we relate to HIm.

Just seems that all of the gigantic fiction novels are in the Fantasy genre of which I am not a fan. Does anyone know of any long and well written series of books in either sci-fi or adventure?
