Painting

Still Life is a class of paintings that goes back centuries, with well-known artists including Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh. The subject of still life paintings has changed over time, but still life is still an imperative part of contemporary art. And one of the most important aspects of still life paintings is movement. While that may sound counterintuitive, it is absolutely true.Movement in a painting can be described in many different ways.

However it is described, movement brings a still life painting to life.Taking a look at some still life works from modern artists, it is clear that the use of ...

Why Animated Videos Should Be Professionally Designed

Animation

An interesting way to spread education, to explain some key concept or to make abstract theories easy is to explain through a video. One of the most popular ways to do it is to make animated videos. These videos are not only fun to watch but are more engrossing than a book or paper would be. Besides, they can encapsulate a lot within a few minutes. For this reason, the top video sites are full of such creative content which is not just amazing for its audio-visual quality but also tends to make the most difficult things appear extremely simple.But it is not easy to create such a video which needs to be short and crisp without keeping vital information out. This is really difficult to achieve as most people find it nearly impossible to keep it short without leaving out information. So, corp...

Animation – It Has Life In It

Animation

'Animation' the word itself bespeaks loud that it has life in it. It is all about putting life into characters and models and making them look real and life-like. The story goes, to a couple of years back when becoming an animator was like a dream come true. But going down twenty years, the dream was practically impossible, for many to achieve. Then becoming an animator meant going to college, studying an illustrative graduation degree or probably if you are lucky enough you might get yourself an apprenticeship from a professional animator. It was earlier a mere diploma degree. But these days the path to becoming an animator is easier as many of the colleges are offering a certified degree course in animation.Disney Dreams are no longer intangible. With the advent of Pixar, Toy Story 3D, a...

MY Two Cents – For What It’s Worth

Performing Arts

Acting is one of the most difficult professions in the world. Chances are you didn't need me to tell you that but for those unfamiliar with the challenges and hurdles that aspiring actors must face I thought I would put it out there as a reminder.Many young actors have come to me over the years with a misconception regarding the demands of this profession. Some have received encouragement from family and friends that tell them that they "have what it takes" to make it. This may or may not be true. But in many cases the aspiring actor does not understand what it takes to make it in this highly competitive profession. I am not suggesting that I have the answers but at the very least I may be able to shed some light on the subject.Anger is a part of all of us but in excess it is a destructive...

Friends, Strangers, Nomads Keep Yourselves Free From Disordered Inclinations That Attack The Soul

Poetry

All kinked up, mangled chaos, confusion, may enter a disordered head, Distorted sounds like wild hair, indecipherable elements that never amount to a relevant word Because it is the screeching in the clamor, the clatter, the uproar in the battle, but just tell me have you ever seen blood dripping from the canal of an unwanted ear Yet this is how it shall pervade in small water deep rivers a proximal entry to the brain So there may be nothing else that you can do other than to grimace, facial expressions, stretched skin at the outer edge, the corners of a mouth that have been burnt and battered for too many unkind remarks and unpolished pearls, see it simmering there, efforts to bring the new world rising for it will bring the nomads to the flatland, desolate grass an uncomfortable place T...

Gold Is Cankered, Fine Clothes Eaten By Moths, In Fire Riches And Fortune Will Devour Your Flesh

Poetry

It could start just about anywhere but you can be assured that the flames will be burning hot and bright, white heat like the end of a poker cast into a beleaguered eye For the point of entry might be as tragic as it hurts, the arrival of a foreign reality so distant but carefully cured because over the years you have become quite accustomed to the images that have originated in the external world before they have become an integrated history that have allowed you to attach meaning to symbols, the golden pitch of a yellow one, someone who is afraid to crash and glow So allow the flicker, the spark, the gutter, the glimmer to create uncertain bands of color, disparate patterns in heavy smoke, alternating witchcraft, signs, tokens, figures and marks excruciating night blindness rushes on ...
