Visual Arts - October 2006

I want the ability to crop and resize photos as well as edit color, brightness, etc. We had professional pics done at Sears and they were able to change the angle of pictures and tilt them. I'm trying to find software that could do that too. I have Kodak EasyShare now that came with my camera. I'm looking for something that could do a little more than Kodak does.

Someone was telling me about a painting she's seen in art class, and she wanted to find it again. She doesn't remember the Artist OR the name of the painting. But, she's got a somewhat vague description: She says it's of a Pregnant woman standing before an Oval-Shaped mirror, looking into it, and perhaps has her hand on her pregnant belly...? I don't think she really specified what the angle is (IE, behind the mirror facing the woman, or behind the woman facing her back as she faces the mirror, or from the side... etc)... She thinks it may be a more famous older artist (kinda like Da Vinci, but probably not him). I did about 200 Google searches for different keyword combinations and things... but no luck. Maybe an art buff would be able to tell me what it is? If you know of one that even generally fits those points, Please say the Artist and painting name so I can find it to look... a link might be cool too, but I could probably find it in search... :) THANKS!

How do I adjust my Photoshop CS colours?! When I create an image on Photoshop CS (on MAC) the colours always appear overly saturated, while when I save it as a .jpg the colour intensity has dropped significantly when viewed in Preview. This is not about RGB and CMYK in Image>Mode. How do I make the colours on photoshop appear the way they do in their final .jpg form?

I saw the mona lisa a couple years ago and I overheard a couple people saying how it was nothing impressive. I thought that they were nothing but a bunch of brainless baboons, until I began to think why they would say such a thing. In the artistic world, how is does a work of art become a masterpiece?

I've made papier mache heads, and I want to paint them so they stand out in the dark (this is for Halloween, of course). Any ideas?

Also, I'm a little worried that the newsprint will show through the paint. Would love tips on how to handle that.

So far i have a few dozen photos that i think are "special," but ive only been taking photos for about a year. I know i will be doing this for the next few years, and i will get better all the time. How do i know what photos are good enough for a portfolio. I know i shouldnt have a 50 page book, but can someone help me decide which ones are really great?

Much appreciated comments on my website yesterday which will be taken under advisory (more professional photographs shall be taken). Another key to the puzzle of working as an artist is pricing, I have some vague ideas of pricing for my works in mind but it's a very difficult thing to guage. i know that it is partly dependant on locasion but I would be very pleased if people could suggest a ballpark figure for pricing for these works in either the American or UK art markets. (I was advised last night to mention that these paintings are sexually explicit i.e. realist female nudes). www.artforall.20megsfree.com/new

I've always loved him & I own an adorable synthetic copy of his masterpiece circa 1960 or older. The web has so many sites on him that I'd like to hear some more personal expression & info like where to shop for repros, calendars books, etc. Once, while in Honolulu, I happened upon a hotel bar whose owner had many Leeteg originals....wow.. what a treat...my girl was there, too...in 3' by 4' glory! The hotel was the Waikikian....an original lanai style place....very OG. Don't even know if it's there anymore. The owner (who was he?) was known for having these original works but the very last time I went there "Hina Rapa" was gone.

I recently took and bought my senior high school panoramic pictures.

They're nice and all, but they're just laying around in my room. I'm pretty sure they don't sell picture frames that fit them.

How can I hang them on my wall without just pinning them up with tape or tacs?
