I'm taking photography and it is something I like very much, I've even considered becoming a photographer after I graduate....but I have to ask is photography becoming a dead art?

I know alot of people will be quick to disagree with me but, with the new digital technology it seems like anyone can take a cool, beautiful, or interesting photo....so is there really any point in becoming a professional photographer?

I can understand artists, painters, etc. Some people have no artistic skill and others are gifted beyond belief...but it seems like the photographer really depends on the quality of his camera (lighting, etc) not his own ability. So what is really the difference between a professional photograher and an amateur with a digital rebel?

give me your thoughts.

Im new to painting! I have heard somewhere that a metal grill of some description can be used to help scrape the paint off... is this correct? I think a lid is also handy to prevent evaporation... Can you buy containers to hold the Turpentine? If so, where?

It should travel in one side of the artwork and out the other?

It should be directed toward the center of interest?

As it moves toward the center of interest, it should have several interesting objects to stop and study?

It should land on the point of interest first and then travel toward the secondary areas of interest?

I have recently started my first graphics job and am enjoying every second I am there. The thing I need help with is alot of my job involves layout of magazines and leaflets, posters etc which is where I am struggling a bit. Ideas come fast and are great but when it comes to layout I become unstuck sometimes.

Quark is good to me usually and grids and things I can do its just how/where can I learn about layouts?

any help would be most appreciated.

thanks guys and gals

Hello, I want to be able to capture the sunrise on my dv camcorder but of course there isnt enough space on a regular tape to be able to do this. Is there a way of converting my camera to take time delayed footage every so often or are there special techniques i could apply. ideally, i want to be able to capture 4 hours of footage and condense that down to a 20 second speeded up clip.

thanks dudes.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase an artist's liner paint brush in a size 30/0 or smaller? Someone told me there is a 100/0 liner out there. Any truth to that statement?

Thanks.

For an art class I must produce 12 pieces to be graded. All of these 12 pieces must have a common subject matter and concentrate on the same idea. I started painting scenes from New York City... but it's turned out to take a long time. If any one has ideas for a concentration that isn't boring and doesn't take too long to paint or draw, i would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I want to use stencils and spray paint a few words on a new white shirt. Can I get some info/help on that? How drangerous is it? I would do it out side and it would be really quick. Just basicly spray painting like one word on a shirt. We don't have any spray paint here, I would have to buy some after I talk to my parents. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

The pieces that I fuse on shelf paper sometimes get a haze on them and it doesn't occur when I use kiln wash. Bullseye can't give me an answer why this occurs. It occurs at all temps on certain colors. It's not just at the edges but can also be throughout the suface at random spots. I love the convenience of the paper but hate losing good art pieces.

When an author changes their name for their writing, it's called a pen name, when singer/actor changes name its a stage name. But what's it called when an artist changes their name? For instance Peter Max, he's last name isn't Max and Andy Warhol's real last name was Warhola.

-Thanks for the help
