Visual Arts - June 2007

I have a portfolio, but I have a lot of art that I've done over the past couple years, which seems really bad now... Is there any point in keeping it?? Will I ever need it? ♥

I have been approached by someone who would like to use one (or more) of my photos on the cover of a book that he will be self-publishing. Does anyone have any experience with providing photos in this manner? What is a typical financial arrangement?

If Freud had never existed, or at least never came up with any theories relevant to surreal art, how would surreal art have changed?

'In the ever changing world of art the definition of what art is seems to have become anything we can get away with. But at least one constant qualifier should always be maintained: If your art work is original enough or profound or perceptive or accomplished enough you shouldn’t have to try to get away with anything.'

My friends and I are going to use a person as a human canvas to paint on for an art exhibition. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best kind of paint to use on human skin is. Something that is safe and that will wash off easily. Face paint seems like a good candidate, but I would like to know if I have any other options. Also, is there any sort of protective "goo" or lotion that can be rubbed on before we start painting him?

I took pictures on the last day of school, and I forgot about the red-eye setting.

As a result, some of my pictures came out with the red pupil.

I also noticed something.

Two of my friends both wear glasses. Alyssa took pictures with hers on, but Erin took hers off for the majority of the pictures. She came out with red-eye, and Alyssa did not.

So what causes red-eye, and why do some people get it in their pictures and others do not?

Here are some examples:

who does the cute black and white photos of children in grown up clothes doing romantic things. Sometimes there is one or two things in color, like a red rose or the little girls dress. These photos are used a lot in wedding invitations and greeting cards. I need one for a wedding invite. I need high resolution and web link. 10 points to first person.

We had a house fire a while ago and are going to repaint our porch-the paint only has smoke damage. Should we strip the entire porch or just sand off the loose paint before we put on new paint?

I'm not a wealthy person. I dont even have my own camera. But, this doesn't stop me from pursuing my dream of becoming a photographer someday. I love taking pictures and editing them. But most of the time i borrow cameras from other people because i dont have my own. How do i start a career at this age if i dont even have one?
