Visual Arts - November 2007

My 3 year old's favourite colours are black and orange. His nursery teacher says that black is a negative colour, and removes all black crayons and paints in the nursery. is she right?

About 6 months ago, I decided to start offering fun face painting for birthday parties, special events, stuff like that. Well, the good news is, I am super busy, and booking lots of events. Now, I think it is time to think about what I should be wearing to these. I want some type of costume, but I HATE clowns, they freak me out, so no clown costumes. Any ideas for what I could do to make myself look alittle bit more the part of a real , "Face painter"?? Also, I have started doing animal balloons too, so I want something fun. Thanks for all ideas!!

I think the matches they make are hilarious. For instance, someone just asked about enhancing an image of someone wearing a t-shirt "just a bit" so you could see, "you know... a little nipple." The links on the right were to places that do silk screening for t-shirts.

I am wondering what they will pick out of this question as a suitable match. Let me think of some words.

Saddle. Tires. Cell phone. Lifesavers. Enhancement.

Let's see what they come up with.

Any more suggestions?

Are there any camera lenses shaped like a periscope? I want to put a lense on my camera and use my camera like regular but have the lense see above the crowd. A periscope shaped lense would be perfect. Also, it would be so long it could have high magnification.

Has the digital revolution challenged the truth and credibility of images ?
Photography used to be the evidential medium and the very definition of visual truth. Used to be someone challenged your image, your show em' the negative or slide. Tangible, real, and containing the information as captured. Even the most skilled darkroom artist would be hard pressed to alter the image beyond focus and exposure during printing with believable results. So has the digital capture/ darkroom actually caused the general public to doubt an image's credibility ? Especially a great shot, I hear it all the time 'bah you can do that with digital'

So what do you think ?

I need a clever name for a t shirt "company". well not really a company but I am making silk screened t-shirts with abstract designs on them. I need a good name for it. It can be a different language or even have a biblical meaning. But it has to mean something pretty sweet. So far I have "aureus" which means golden in greek...so any input would be great! thanks!

Are there any photography classes I can take in Gainesville, VA?

Maybe anything close to/in Washington D.C.? Maryland is too far though.

Thanks!

I am a beginning painter and I paint with oils and acrylics and when I sign with a brush it seems difficult and frustrating. Is there some kind of a pen one can use to sign paintings that will last and is acceptable in the art world?

I'm applying to art schools and I've done some stuff with graphic design and I have no idea what to put in my portfolio. I've done things on illustrator, foundation drawings done from observation & still-life, things I did last year in my AP art class, black and white ink drawings done for "basic graphic design" class. I have no idea what to use. Anyone that's applied as a Graphic Design major before know what they used in their portfolio? I'm thinking about RISD, Pratt, and Syracuse if that has any relevance.

I recently purchased an original painting and the only signature is Kelly or Killy. Actually at the front of the painting is Killy but when I turned this huge painting on the back was stamped Continental Art with the name Kelly. It also had other stamps which I assume were stamps from different customs. Can anyone please tell me what Continental Art is? Was this for a group of travelling artists students? Was this in Europe?

The subject of the contest is "Urban life". I'm just an amateur and I've never been to any contest before. Do you think I can have a chance?

I have a limited edition signed print that has been 'treated' to look like an orgiginal painting. Is this varnish and is there a special name for this technique?
