History of Mosaics
2008-03-30 10:59:00 Being one of the most beautiful and oldest forms of art in the history of man, one couldn't help but wonder about how such art has evolved and survived through all these centuries. This type of ornamental arts where small tiles of stones and marbles are used to develop patterns and pictures appeared randomly in totally different cultures and locations. That is why; mosaics can't be rooted to a particular people or culture.

Project Runway: The Art Of The Show

Fashion students really do study art history in school and also clothing of the past, and this episode certainly brought me back to classes I took a lifetime ago.For this challenge, the five hopefuls for fashion week go to the Met to get ideas for creations to propel them into fashion week.
