Arts & Humanities - 20 February 2007

The painting is of woman lying on a sofa with some sort of head wrap. I think it may have been painted 17th or 18th century. The image was re-created for recent commercial. I know this is a weird question, but I need to write a paper on a piece of art and I always thought that painting was pretty. I just never knew who it was by.

Do some sites of the civilisation suggest that human civilisation was even more advanced prior to Indus Valley civilisation. Carbon dating alone is not sufficient to reveal the
real duration of a civilisation.

I want to make a painted wood sign, but want it to look old and weathered. Like with cracked paint and what not. If anyone has a site or can tell me how to do it, you will no doubt get best answer.

You can only choose one of the three:

1) "Give me the physique and facial features that fashion models will envy"

2) "Solve my financial problems and fill my pockets with endless gold!"

3) "Make me happy"

Which wish do you choose?

Satan promises to make you the most attractive person on the planet, but you will NEVER be able to see what you look like (no mirrors or photography will show your reflection). This is the only catch.

So, which is more important to you: being able to see your true self, or becoming that which others want to see? And be honest!

The painting....I have no idea the artist or what time period it's from....but it's quite famous I should think...since I know about it :-) ... and it's a picture of someone in the foreground....a bed in the background...one of those four post ornate, kinda victorian looking ones....and on the back wall is a mirror....with another image on it....I know it's not much...but if you know....it'd help.

I had a thought - I don't know if it's an original idea, but what if there have been previous universes that have been destroyed by something like an anti-Big Bang where everything is destroyed and converted back to the particle mass that was the origin of our current universe? Maybe it's a cycle. Maybe there have been millions of universes, maybe not all had life, maybe many did... oh the possibilities are endless.

Hi, I am trying to get into acting. Throughout my research I have read that your headshot is VERY important. What is the best way to do it? Should I have both a black & white and a color? Or should I just have one? Should I smile or look serious? I have modeled for 12 years and have a wide variety of photos. I think i may do a new shoot for this one though. Any suggestions?

I like dancing,but I often wonder why peoples dance. For what if they don't intend to dance professionally as jobs.I am interested in Ballet, but I was rejected repeatly by my family. They reasoned that unless I want to be a Ballet teacher, they will not allow me to take up Ballet lessonl.
I am 20. I have heard that after 18, our body will have stop growing and it is best to take up ballet before 18.I have been very persistent in urging them, but they say that I still have to work for a living and Ballet make enough money. Anyway, I am not going to be a Ballet teacher or I would have waste my time studying. I only hope to perform Ballet professionally.I wish to take up ballet exams, but I am not sure how long I can finish Ballet.
And now most community offers Ballet lesson coaching for exams for seven years and above, but I am not sure if adults can learn with them.
