Art - Future Galleries

I want to use those wall art sticker letter things to put them on the wall behind my bed. Im mainly looking for just a verse or the chorus or something.

THE CLIMB BY MILEY CYRUS or PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING BY HILLSONG UNITED

Republic of Ireland

If wind and rain don’t scare you, this country is made for you !!
Indeed, you can’t be sure what the weather will be like, because it changes all the time ! You can wear a T-shirt the morning and a raincoat the afternoon…
If you love only gastronomy, you can stay in France, but if you like things like pizzas and hamburgers, you won’t have any problem fitting in.
However, you won’t be disappointed by the landscapes ! Everything is green !! In the countryside there are a lot of fields, ( with sheep obviously !! ), little hills, lakes, woods … It’s very absolutely beautiful … If you love nature, you will enjoy !
In this country, there are not a lot of cities, but there are many little and pretty towns. If you go to the suburbs, you will see many identical houses, but, after all, it’s like in some areas of France.
Dublin, the Capital of the Republic of Ireland, is very interesting. There are many old buildings, museums, shops, parks etc. In the town center, the streets are very animated and it’s very pleasant to go for a walk.
In this city, there are a lot of museums. In the National Gallery of Ireland ( the entry is free ), you will see many paintings from the 14th to the 20th century .
The National Museum contains the most prestigious collection of art object in gold from prehistory of Europe, and a lot of things from the Middle Ages and Celtic.
Their national day is St Patrick’s day, on 17th March. It celebrates the death the Patron Saint of Ireland, who was born Scottish and was kidnapped by the future king of Ireland. St Patric died at the age of 76.
There are two official languages : The Irish and the English
Irish people of Eire have their own president, Mary MacAleese, and they are not obedient to the Queen of England.
People are very welcoming and nice in Ireland. Children love staying outside ( when it isn’t rain ! ) whereas adults love drinking beer in pubs. Irish people are often red-haired with blue eyes and many freckles. The majority of people follow the same fashions than in France even if, like in every country, there are eccentric ones who has blue hair and wear flashy clothes!
The emblem of Ireland is the shamrock of their national color is green.

Btw i’m french
Thanks sooooooo mucj =D
Thanks sooooooo much =D

( when it isn’t rain ! ) should be raining?

eccentric ones who has blue hair - should be ‘have’ blue hair

national color is green.- english spelling is colour

thats just what i see but i may be wrong.good piece tho

I am interested in becoming a curator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City because some of my favorite childhood memories have formed around their beautiful exhibits. My personality has shaped around art work and my love for artist’s work and meticulous yet inspiring out of the box thinking would guarantee me a rightful job as a curator. I think I would be good at presenting a collection of artwork to the public in a new and interesting way.

I want to narrow down my options for the future and in doing so I have to be practical and eliminate some crazy dreams of mine. If those who might be informed or have had experience in this subject, please fill me in with the basics of my career requirements for becoming a curator. If i decided to pursue this career in the art specialization, how could I achieve this in the most efficient way?

Thank you for your time and support! You do not know how much this means to me.

Once I had as my teacher in a Concentrated Humanities Class, the former Director of The Ringling Art Museum, in Sarasota, Florida. He went on to become the Director of a Planitarium in Austin, Texas. His education was at the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is a Great city, the Third Largest in the US with many fine Artistic and Educational Facilities. He had a double major, in both Celestial Mechanics Physics, and in Art History. His Final Exam had 362 Points, and I got 360 of them. I studied the Piano in grade, jr High and High School, and knew a lot about the History of Music, and could pick up a new piece of Classical Music and play it right off. My Favorite Book was then the Iliad (The Wrath of Archilles) and later "The Book of Amos," and "The Book of Mathew," also "Deuteronomy, Jesus’ Favorite Book." Ancient Greek Sculpture and Architecture took up its most talented Artists. Art History is the basis of these jobs, with Art Technology added on. Museum Curator ship also covers Archeology and Anthropology. So you will need these courses also. But, unless you are really deep into these subjects, you might not be happy in them.

I love art but i cant seem to stick to one i just think there an interesting as for example.
I’ve done Drawing,Painting,Sculpting and photography actually anything creative i do i also love writing and reading and learning about all different things i admire anything and everything that is beautiful and inspirational is it just me or am i all over the place and cant stick with one thing.
Any ideas on how i can fix this?

I would not worry about being all over the place with which art medium to do. A lot of great artists have done works in more than one medium. Michelangelo was primarily a sculptor, but he still painted the ceiling and altar area of the Sistine Chapel. Leonardo da Vinci was an artist and scientist. Henri Matisse was mostly known for painting, but he also did printmaking and sculpture. Norman Rockwell used photography to do his paintings. Even Pablo Picasso worked in sculpture, as well as his primary medium of painting. I know there is also at least one artist who also did poetry, but I cannot think of who it was right now. It is good that you are inspired by a lot of things. That is how all great artists usaully start out. Just keep doing what you are doing and and do not be obsessed with which medium to turn to. Just keep being creative and let your creativity shine forth. You will find where you are the strongest, but do not turn your back on the other medium. Use them to let out your ideas.

Okay, so I’ve been friends with this girl for over 2 months. We became friends after I asked her out and she said no because she already has a boyfriend. I hope to be her boyfriend in the future. At the same time, I also want to be a good friend in the mean time, I wanna be someone who’s fun and who she can tell her problems to and I also want to be able to comfort her.

Even though I’m perfectly happy with being her friend while respecting her relationship, I want her to see me as a potential boyfriend. The problem is that when I’m around her, I get all quiet and shy and, and I never have anything to talk about and my mind blanks up and sometimes she stays like that too after she’s ran out of things to say.

What can I do to talk a little more and be more fun when I’m around her so that I don’t bore her? We might hang out at an art gallery this Saturday and I wanna be able to fix myself before then.

VIVA LA RAZA!

Same situation [Thanks for asking]

I was hoping you could help me understand the meaning of this "manifesto". Its taken from an art gallery in Denmark.
It was both in English and danish.
Thanks in advance for taking the time and effort to read this.

—————————————–
In the "end" each individual must become a teacher unto himself.

So "masters", teachers, or institutions can only help to a certain extent.

Each individual person must find out for himself how to proceed and take his own steps in order for him to make any real progress towards his unique "spiritual" path and understanding. An understanding of himself and of existence.

No master, teacher or institution can ever guide you in the exact way you need to walk in order to reach your own source, the source, which has for one thing a common ground connecting all things and people, but at the same time is only manifested in the uniqueness of an individual. Thus, only being accessible and known to each individual by his own unique "path" and understanding.
This is mysticism. Jesus, Buddha, Muhammed, etc. were all mystics.Which trough one way or the other elevated their minds beyond the conditioned everyday rationale, into where pure creativity, were all mystical experiences originates.

Support, advice and understandings by others are necessary, but they can only take you so far before they start to become a hindrance to your own evolution, a dependency on dead knowledge/memory, empty rituals, traditions and others. A child and mother like relationship starts to emerge, and we start to loose our spiritual path ans strength, we instead start to regress towards the womb. Which is best expressed and seen as fear and the dependency which fear creates in people. Look at marriage, at religions, look at political parties and their followers, nationalism, governments, etc.
Look closely and see for yourself that mother-child relationship and how it not only cripples people in turning them into easy to control subjects, but also how this form their soul, their spiritual and creative lives.
e.g. We find our love and relationship for our partner only truly valid once we marry. Only until some body of authority(the church, the state) recognizes and accepts our love for each other by legally binding us. Disgusting! Another way to get stuck and more involved within the system.
There comes a time when one must truly stand alone in order to reach that source which is shared by all things, and yet unique in its expression to the individual. There is a source.

———-

That is the difference between Religion and Mysticism.

Religions rely on institutional structures to induce a kind of trance in the individual, a conditioned mental state which relies on dead knowledge/memory to exist, on repetitive indoctrination so as to create a safe and comfortable “mental map” of our existence and so being able to perpetuate manipulative teachings and sell "enlightenment." It creates dependency in people and creates conditions which are ideal for exploiting people, in creating order.

Also religions provide the very opposite of what they claims to provide: understanding of self and existential revelations. It does this by making people rely on dogma and integrate pre-packaged systems which actually work by taking you away from yourself(denial), true awareness, and instead creates filters by which ones perceptions are screened through, before any true observation is made.

It takes your attention away from yourself and your immediate situation, and keeps you busy with scriptures, future goals and situations to look forward to, created fear which leaves one craving foe the womb and techniques which are created as models for spiritual and creative progress, but instead is actually one product/ or system mass-produced for the idea of the masses(a homogenized body of people), to get everyone on the "right" track in the same way.

A perfect tool for organizing a specific order and hierarchy.

Impossible! Lies!
Wake up! You are only controlled to the extent which you let yourself be controlled.

Everything through Religion creates a path, a goal and an answer, which one integrates into ones rationale an from there on, its system starts to operate on a subconscious level.

Religions came from those “everyday”- functional minds trying to make sence of the mystics words. But not realizing that such words are unique to the individual and his insight and cannot be taught or communicated in any meaningful way, except as an introduction to that there is something more than what are minds are original brought up by. One must live it himself before he can even begin to truly understand the words. Therefore religions are always corrupted at their core by the weaknesses of the survival/primitive man, who’s supposed spiritualism is nothing but everyday survival mechanisms and satisfaction of a limited egos. Religions mask their real function in a cloud of abstrac
Religions mask their real function in a cloud of abstract concepts which serve the same ends as the two-bit hustler out in the street.

Mysticism works as explained above. It shows you that being human has countless similarities to everybody else, but that also each person has a uniqueness unto himself. This uniqueness which once starts to truly be discovered, leads one also to the source of creativity(manifested as ones own unique expressions). Which is also the key to "spiritual/creative" becoming. This common ground is also a part of that which connects us, a "heavy transparent coat" that exists as itself, and also as a manifestation of all things. It is that from which all things have their origins, genesis, and is the source of our/your creativity. This "coat" although elemental and ubiquitous, seems to be only directly accessed through altered mental states. This “coat” i.e. Not the physical manifestation we know as matter, but the aspect which is more ele
This “coat” i.e. Not the physical manifestation we know as matter, but the aspect which is more elemental and fluid(heavy transparent coat), can be felt and and accessed so to be able to work with it. To flow with it, and at the same time re-direct its flow and mould, shape and channel it through ones unique expressions(creations which are both something physical like an artefact, and also on a mental plane like how one creates ones identity). This is called Art and mysticism.
By truly throwing oneself off of the edge and getting lost, exploring, experimenting, and living intensely so as to never crave for the womb again, to never sleep again, is to be an Artist and mystic.

The "last" few steps are always taken on ones own.

I’m the only one answering, and I need the points cause my old account got suspended. Sorry

A teacher I have is encouraging people to read "Art & Fear " by David Bayles & Ted Orland

The book talks about ways not to quit art.

What ar some of the inspirational methods you have learned?

commit yourself to participate in a show. A deadline does wonders to focus ones mind.

Amateur or so, willing to get his first (personal) SLR.

(Making pictures in museums, art galleries, large cities)

D90 stuff I admit is a bit too expensive and does bite… but if there is a real benefit from it (aka if getting a $100 less will make me regret it in future)
Other options:
Canon Rebel Xsi w. 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Sony A350 w. SAL 18-70mm f3.5-5.6
Sony DSLR-A330 w. 18-55mm Lens
Olympus E-620 W. 14-42mm
Sony DSLR-A330 w. 18-55mm Lens
I got a Nikon D5000 and two lenses. Let’s make a test drive.

Although it is getting a little old the D40 is a perfectly fine camera for a beginner (better than the D60). A new D40 kit with 18mm-55mm lens is about $472.00 including free shipping. The next camera I would consider is the D3000 kit with 18mm-55mm lens for about $585.00 including free shipping from adorama.com. The D3000 is a much easier camera for a beginner (has a nice guide feature), not to mention it just came out on the market so it will hold its resale value better. Also, the D3000 kit lens is a VR lens, whereas D40 kit lens does not have vibration reduction technology, thus making the D3000 an even better value. Check out the two links below for a great review of both cameras. The Canon XSi (450D) about $630.00 for the kit, gives you a little more features for your dollar, but I have always preferred Nikon’s so I am a little biased toward them. I don’t know what your budget is, but the next cameras I would consider are the Nikon D5000 and then the D90 (both have the best picture quality since they both use the exact same sensor). If you prefer Canon then I would take a serious look at the T1i (500D). Take a look at the last link below for a great review of the T1i.

Hi, im 15 and im studying for my GCSEs, ive got drawings which are alright but i really want to make my future drawings really good, espeically hair, id love to be able to draw hair that looks realistic,

http://jschwelmart.deviantart.com/gallery/ these are the drawings ive done.

so any advice would be gratelly appreiciated .
Also if you have a deviant account could you please leave a comment or something, i look really lonely lol

thanks

My advice comes from an art teacher that I had she said to keep drawing the same thing over and over again. Eventually I did exactly that with my inspired georgia O’Keeffe drawing with cow skull.

I like painting and I enjoy looking at other artists work to find inspiration on my painting I do so if you have any suggestions I would love to see them! Abstract is more my thing..but interesting brush strokes and such are good too…

I suggest you study the Abstract Expressionists. I don’t do abstract works myself but I am greatly inspired by these works every time I see them.
