First...How does spinning a wheel on the pottery wheel create pottery?


2nd. How does speed of the wheel affect building what you are making?

Any info. on these questions would be great. OR websites or books that you can reccomend are just as helpful...thanks!

About ten years ago I liked only sci-fi, mystery and action-adventure As I've gotten into my thirties I find that I now enjoy things classified as chick-lit-humorous/funny/romantic books about women and their everydady lives. It's odd that I didn't enjoy that before, but I guess since I'm older I'm more able to appreciate and identify with the characters in the books. How has your reading changed, or has it stayed pretty much the same for a while now? You tell me.

I am wanting to do a set of paintings using the word "Small" and "Large". However I am afraid it might have been done and my instructor will just think I am knocking off someone's work.

Does anyone know of such work out there and if so, can you post a link so I can see if it is the same as what I am thinking of doing?

It seems that I read somewhere that there were only so many themes possible for a plot line (i.e., the Love Triangle, Revenge, etc)... and I don't know who it was that SAID this, if it were Chaucer or Proust or Shakespeare or whoever. Can anyone refresh my lousy memory?

I visited the New Orleans Museum of Art (for an art paper). I chose to write on Pablo Picasso's: The Dreamer (La Reveuse) 1947. It a painting in oil of a distorted face (uses lots of blues). After researching for 2 hrs. I come to a conclusion that this painting does not exist. Instead "The Dream" (the popular painting of his mistress appears). I wrote down exactly what was written at the museum. Can anyone Help?

He was baptised on 26th April, there is no proof apart from the idea that a christening was supposed to take place within three days of birth, which would back-date it to April 23rd, but the fact is that no-one knows his real birthday. Why are Yahoo claiming otherwise today? Do they know something I don't?
