Visual Arts - September 2007

I've been into photography for almost two years now, but I've only read or learned anything about it recently.

I've got a basic grip on exposures, f-stops, shutter speed, etc. etc. but I still want to know more.

Can you suggest any books for me at the level I'm currently at? Anything that might come to mind as "essential".

Which one would you choose and why if you would like to present your photography skills ;-) and maybe try to sell through one of those websites?

I wrote a short story a while back but have to fix some parts before I submit it to a contest at my school. It's about painting...and I could have sworn that I read on a website that all colors mixed together form the color WHITE. But I'm proofreading the story and it just doesn't seem right. Is there such a thing where all colors mixed together form a certain color? If so, what is that color? It's very important that I find out.

i'm looking for a good pottery wheel to buy my significant other for christmas. she is quite good at it, so i want something nice. my problem is that i don't know the first thing about pottery. i'd like to get her a nice wheel with an electric foot pedal, and enough hp to center weight well. i think 1/2hp or higher should do. if possible, i'd also like a small kiln. unless you can use the oven?? any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Anything goes, painting, 3-d, photos etc etc.

So far I've come up with stories like Snow white & seven dwarves, Apple of discord etc etc that I can do.

Also I've done paintings, drawings, etc. of different views of apple.

I wanted to get some more ideas on it (as I need 40!!!) and some of the ideas I have right now are pretty boring...

Also, I need at least 5 of the 40 to be 3-D, any ideas for this?

PLEASE any ideas helpful, brainstorming always generates more ideas =D Thanks everyone!

On the back side of this medival warrior on canvas painting frame, there are numbers noted L169-1974-B can anyone tell me anything about this painting. Before when I asked then mentioned the numbers I was told that It could be a reproduction because, originals do not have numbers on them, I am thinking maybe they thought I ment the numbers were on the front of the canvas when they were not. As I stated this painting is very large in size, with a medival warrior painted on it and a castle in the background, holding a sword in his right hand, a grey beard, a feather sticking out the back of his green colored hat, a red cloke on, green top and pants. The frame is made out of carved wood of some type, with gold inlet surrounded by red velvet.

I'm not exactly the artistic type and I don't have any expensive photographic equipment. However, I've been thinking about getting into photography as a hobby - using a digital camera, not film. I currently have a 5.0 MP camera with a 3x optical zoom. I've played around a bit with the various features and learned how to take decent pictures in various conditions. And I do have a decent tripod.

I guess one of my main questions is whether I should immediately try to buy a digital SLR camera or if the one I have would be adequate to start.

And once I am taking pictures, are there specific subjects or concepts I should focus on. Or is it more just getting out there and taking pictures?

I've been studying the photo of the Migrant Mother but I cannot find in what age of art it is labeled in.

Is it considered modern art? Abstract?

Does anyone know?

Thank you :)

Okay people. I need some Constructive Critizism. I have asked people what do they think of my Photographs and they say Oh your good...Sometimes they might say it because they don't want to hurt your feelings. I'm asking this on here so Because you Do not know Me haha. No really I need some people who do not know me give me constructive critizism on my photos. Ideas or comments are welcome! Thank you in advance! Here is my link...

The pixels have to be a lot and it has to be plain without decoration.

Does anyone have anything deep? A flag, or a map of America doesn't work. A work of art and an advertisement would work well. Thanks!!

I'll vote best answer!
