I'm doing a mural project at my school and we are to choose a famous piece of art work and paint it inside of a shape on a wall. I have no idea which painting to do :( Someone is already doing The Scream and Starry night... so anything besides that would be very very helpful! I can't find any websites that show a collection of famous or recognized paintings either...

I am currently a freshman in college, studying Civil Engineering. However, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to be an Engineer. It's just not me. True that Engineers make a lot of money, but I'd rather have a job in a field that makes me happy, than in one that I know will never, in a million years, grant me that wish.

I am really into visual art and writing, though. Those are two of my biggest passions. I want to change majors (from Civil Engineering to Interior Design or some other type of art) and today I met with one of the art department recruiters at my current university. However, she told me that I have to put together a portfolio with AT LEAST 12 of my best pieces of work (by December 10, 2006). I don't know what to do because I don't have any of my really good artworks with me and I don't have any spare time to work on any new ones... :(

Any suggestions about what I should do?

My mate (Nameless), did a bit of pointing for the Duke up at the Manor and being short of cash, the Duke gave him a painting, 'Woman by the window' by Vermeer, but my mate won't go on the Antiques Road Show in case they don't believe him.

U.S. casino magnate gives Picasso's dream the elbow
Wed Oct 18,
Picasso's famed "Dream" painting turned into a nightmare for Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn when he accidentally gave the multimillion dollar canvas an elbow.

Wynn had just finalized a $139 million sale to another collector of his painting, called "Le Reve" (The Dream), when he poked a finger-sized hole in the artwork while showing it to friends at his Las Vegas office a couple of weeks ago.

Director and screenwriter Nora Ephron, who witnessed and related the incident in her blog on the Huffington Post Web site (www.huffingtonpost.com), said Wynn had raised his hand to show the group something about Picasso's 1932 portrait of his mistress Marie-Therese Walter.

"At that moment, his elbow crashed backward right through the canvas. There was a terrible noise," Ephron wrote, noting that Wynn has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that damages peripheral vision. "Smack in the middle ... was a black hole the size of a silver dollar.

I got called back by the "art instruction school" where you do all the work at home and send it back to them. I think i want to try it, but i dont know if its worth it.

I'm going to a community college next semester, but i was thinking this would be a good thing to also have since i'm going to be majoring in art anyway.
Its also not that expensive and thats one of the reasons it appealed to me. Does anybody know whether its even worth the time and money either way?

Can anyone identify the photo editing software shown in this video? Is this a real program? We've never seen it, but it seems a little generic.

I know for a fact it isn't Photoshop.
