Visual Arts - October 2006

I acquired these pictures from a thrift store I worked at because I am facinated by western art and culture. I do not know if these are placemats or pictures to be hung because they are laminated in a plastic that makes them look like a mat but too large for use as one. They are from the Far Eastern Hotels in Japan. If anyone can help me find more info on these items it would help me decide what to do with them. I have a picture of them if anyone wants to see them just send me a link. Thank you.

Why is it that in a lot of amateur pictures of the sun, there's a black dot in the center of it?

I have a generic digital camera....nothing fancy. I'd like to take nice looking pictures just for fun. I've paged through some books on photography but I was wondering if anyone has some simple advice on what do/not do for decent looking shots without any fancy equipment.

Thanks.

teaching art in 15 minutes, help. I can't remember the name of the artist who covered large structures like buildings and bridges with cloth and then drew or photographed them. Can't remember which way he did it. I think he did the brooklyn bridge.

I am looking for a piece of artwork I saw once, a long time ago. It is Norman Rockwell-esque, and it may actually be a work of his for all I know (I have looked and cannot find it). It is of a girl in her room, too sick to go to the school dance (you can tell as she looks out her window forlornly at the school and you can see her dress and invitation) but what she doesn't see is her date peering around her door to spend time with her, either bringing her flowers or tissues or something. It is very sweet and I would give anything to know how to locate a print of it.
