The Era of The Emerging Artist
2008-03-24 18:01:00 Assume for a moment that emerging artists are akin to value stocks. Like any true value stock, the work of emerging artists is often overlooked, and their worth and prospects underestimated. However, just as Warren Buffet will search out quality companies with distinctive attributes, art lovers can unearth emerging artists whose work is thoughtful, topical and passionately committed to a sense of relevance to modern life.

Tiffany And His Stained Glass
2008-03-17 21:59:00 By Tracy Crowe When I think of stained glass windows, or stained glass lampshades, I think of Louis Comfort Tiffany . What is his story? How did he come to create such magnificent pieces of art? Louis Comfort Tiffany lived from 1848 to 1933. His father was the founder and main owner of a highly successful New York City jewelry and fancy goods store. This business provided Tiffany with both “know-how” and financial backing. Although he was a competent painter and a skilled colorist, Tiffany turned most of his attention and creative energies to the design, manufacture and retail of decorative arts objects. His first business became the premiere “artistic” interior decoration business in New York in the 1880s. He was especially interested in glass, and began experimenting with it to give his sophisticated clientele the living environments that they expected from him. At that time artists applied tints and painted on glass, which Tiffany considered &ldqu... More About: Glass

Joan Miró - Video Showing His Paintings
2008-02-12 22:46:00 Picasso is not the only world-famous artist that Spain produced. Joan Miró (1893-1983) was another Spanish artist of world influencing impact. Like Picasso, Miró was apainter, sculptor, and ceramist. He was born in Barcelona. Miró’s surrealistiic art work has been interpreted as a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods, favoring more contemporary means of expression. This video shows a nice oeuvre of his work: More About: Video , Paintings
Art’s Impact on Society
2008-02-11 10:08:00 By Grant Eckert Art is an extremely private experience, yet, it is meant to be shared with the public. Society , as a whole, examines the art produced and has the right to approve, disapprove, acknowledge, ignore, praise and abuse it. The public or society has not remained constant over the years. In the time of the Renaissance, for example, only a select few were “society.” They commissioned art, were patrons of the arts and their artists. Today, almost anyone can share in the experience of art. They can attempt to create, view and act as a critic. Does art make the world a better place, or is it quite useless? This is a very ancient riddle, and no one has solved it yet. A similar question - has art truly had any impact upon society? Has it fashioned or molded minds? Has it shaped opinions and altered how people feel or think? Is it practicable in or relevant to society and its individuals’ daily lives? Art reflects life. It is a portrait of history, whether it i...
Quick Tips On How to Draw a Realistic Face
2008-02-11 04:28:00 There are many artists who struggle with drawing a face and having it actually look like the person you are drawing. These tips should help you to achieve a more realistic outcome and have your drawings come to life. The first tip is probably the most important. When you are drawing, draw from a good source or reference. For instance make sure that your photo is a really high quality. Make sure that the photo is big and clear, and not a lot of different lighting sources. Choose a subject that is interesting to you. If you want, a good idea is to draw something of one of the masters, like Beugereau. If what you are drawing doesn’t hold an interest for you, you won’t do as good a job on it, you’ll have less patience, lose interest and never finish. But again, make sure that your reference is high quality because if it’s not, you’ll end up with garbage. Next, begin your drawing with your outline. Different artists use different methods for this. Also, time... More About: Tips , Quick , Face , Realistic , Draw
