Visual Arts - January 2007

I would really like to teach art; teaching and art are my passions. I am currently looking to transfer to a University and I'm not sure if I need to major in art and get a teaching certificate or major in art education (although it seems that not many schools offer that major).

Are any of you art teachers if so how is it? Can you give me some advice about what classes I should take? I live in Texas. Does anyone know of any Universities that would be good for this major?

Thanks!

The news today showed a short clip of the restoration of the fresco of the virgin mary with saints in some cathedral or museum, I think. Why is it called a restoration when the artists are actually painting over the original? Do they use the exact paint mixture/ingredients as the original artist used, or they're just guessing?

If I don't know how to draw and can't find a good teacher, how do I become "self-taught" and teach myself? Is it all just a time-consuming trial and error method? I have read many books on "how to draw", but they are too general and don't give a good system.

I recently recieved some Prismacolor Water Soluble Pencils for sketching and drawing, but I don't fully understand how to use them. They say full range of wet and dry techniques but what does all of this mean? Can't I just use the pencil like a pencil !?

I acquired the piece from my late Grandmothers estate and cannot find any information about the artist from Ask or Google. I did find a similar piece selling for $150.00, but there was no information available about the artist.

I have a package of Frisket Film (gloss finish) but it does not say What are the proper techniques for using it? From what I can remember there are different types of Frisket film; matte, translucent and gloss. I would like to use it for tracing. Is that possible with gloss Frisket? If so what's the procedure and if not what else can an artist use it for aside from turning it into a protective cover for unfinished work?
Thanks so much for your help.

Are there any website that gives a completely free and quality guide in pencil sketching? I have problems drawing well-proportioned human figures with normally-structured limbs and facial organs. As i want to draw my clothing designs out, i would like to be able to draw a nice model to show my outfit as well, so i wanna know if there are such websites. Also, i wanna learn some coloring skills using watercolor or color pencil. Any website teaches these as well? Step-by-step styled ones even better!

I am hoping that I can find one that doesn't cost very much, like share ware or something, that I can download, that goes from beginner to advanced, and is easy to use and understand. I just got a copy of creative suite, and I know I am going to love it as soon as I learn how to use it! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
