			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Carol Odell opted for painting as her means of expression when she was young and decided to go to art institution. Since completing a BFA from the Boston Museum School / Tufts University in 1967, she has made art and design a part of her life. After discovering several media after some time, she has opted for oil paint as her favored medium for its performing qualities as well as richness of color. Gouache as well as monotype works on paper boost her larger oil works on canvas, wood panels as well as folding screens. Managing the Odell studio / gallery has provided her with the fulfilling experience of direct contact and relationships with a lot of enthusiasts of her work. Her work is also currently represented by the Rice / Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA and in many juried group exhibits in the New England region. She exhibits regularly with the Monotype Guild of New England of which she had been president for 3 years.</p>
<p>David Smith-Harrison was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in which he has spent the greater part of his existence. In 1977 he was awarded a Utah State Sterling Scholarship, prior to going on to be schooled at the South Glamorgan Institute, Cardiff, Wales in 1983 as well as the University of Utah, Salt Lake City in 1984.</p>
<p>His highly original printmaking, which combines traces of Renaissance form architecture with vividly rendered natural objects, depends on his fascination for drawing. &#8220;Drawing is of central importance to me,&#8221; he says, &#8220;it is a tool for developing my powers of observation and memory.&#8221;</p>
<p>The fragile process of printmaking carries a much higher aspect of surprise. Smith-Harrison loves this somewhat unstable delivery of his concepts. He states &#8220;I am attracted to the infinite possibilities of impressing ink onto paper and I find the unique textural characteristics of prints to be stimulating, seductive, and full of subtlety and nuance.&#8221; It is a time-consuming method inherited from the wonderful engravers of the Renaissance, a period that in particular fascinates Smith-Harrison. He stresses that his interest in previous artistic traditions will be as essential to him as his connection with present life.</p>
<p>Smith-Harrison&#8217;s high artistic standing has guaranteed wide exhibition of his work. He has displayed several solo and group events all over California. His work was also exhibited at the Evergreen Graphic Art Association, Taipei Cultural Centre, Taiwan in 1993.</p>
<p>Additionally, Smith-Harrison has took part in numerous juried exhibitions. Among these include the Ashland University Printmaking Invitational Exhibition, Ohio, where he displayed work in 1999; National Printmaking, College of New Jersey, Trenton in 1997, Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennal 95, Japan; 65th National Print Exhibition, Society of American Graphic Artists, Federal Plaza, New York in 1993 as well as US-UK Print Connection, Barbican Centre in London in 1989.</p>
<p>WilIiam Stolpin was born and brought up in Flint. He went to Garfield elementary, Emerson Junior High as well as old Northern High School, where he is presently a Distinguished Alumni with his picture on the wall at the brand new High School. He managed to graduate from Northern in 1960, and went directly to GMI. He graduated with BME in 1965. While he was in Junior High, he was creating linoleum block Holiday greeting cards. One card particularly had 7 blocks and about 15 colors. He became aware, at that moment, that he had a talent for printmaking, and have been creating images ever since.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bertaart.com">Printmaking</a> is definitely a broad medium in art and can be studied almost anyplace, in art classes or from <a href="http://www.bertaart.com">printmaking artists</a>. Once you learn the basics, you will find there are numerous techniques to make a really great print.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting to the Picasso Museum in Paris is easy. If you&#8217;re using the Paris metro system, just get off at either Saint Paul Station or Chemin Vert Station. The museum is close to both these stations, and the directions are signposted as soon as you get out of the station.</p>
<p>You can also hail a taxi cab and ask them to take you to 5 Rue de Thorigny or ride buses 69, 96, 26 or 75 &#8212; those that usually stop near the museum.</p>
<p>The building in which the museum is located is a large 17th century French style mansion set in quiet surroundings with closely cut green lawns at the front. Even people who aren&#8217;t specially interested in art will enjoy the atmosphere created by the museum building that reminds you of how Paris would have been two centuries ago.</p>
<p>The Museum apparently is in honor of Pablo Picasso&#8217;s works. But this also exhibits some of the his collection of paintings by his peers. Among those paintings are that of by Degas, Matisse and Cezanne.</p>
<p>The Museum exhibits more than 3500 artworks of Picasso which covers not only paintings but drawings, ceramic works, engravings and sculptures, thus, collecting the largest bulk of the prominent artist&#8217;s work. The pieces distinctively illustrate surrealism, cubism, war and sacrifice.</p>
<p>Opening times at the museum change throughout the year. From October 1st through to the 31st March opening times are from 9.30am to 5.30pm. In the summer, from April 1st to the 30th September the museum stays open an extra half hour to accommodate the higher numbers of tourists.</p>
<p>The Museum shuts down on Tuesdays and particular holidays such as New Year and Christmas.</p>
<p>Ticket rates differ in accordance with age group. If you are below 26, you get the discounted ticket that costs 5.70 euro. Those 26 and above get an ordinary ticket at 7.70 euro while entrance free for minors or below 18 is free as long as a valid ID can be produced.</p>
<p>If you intend to visit other art museums like the Paris Modern Art Museum, why not buy a Paris museum pass that will allow you to get into 70 different museums in Paris.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/articles/article/France/Louvre-Museum-Paris:-Tickets,-Opening-Times,-Guided-Tours/651">Louvre museum tours</a> provide a wonderfully insightful experience to all visitors.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a little careful planning, you can turn your backyard into a relaxing oasis, a family entertainment center, or even a complete, open-air home.  Backyard decorating doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive.  There are plenty of simple backyard design tips that can help you create the perfect outdoor area, even on a limited budget.</p>
<p>First, consider the outdoor needs of you and your family.  If you have children, designate a play area in an open area of your backyard.  Use colorful containers or a large plastic bin to store outdoor toys and design a relaxing sitting and conversation area within eyesight for easy supervision.  Your sitting area may be as simple as a few lounge chairs or a full outdoor living area with weather resistant wicker furniture and colorful throw pillows to brighten the room.</p>
<p>If you plan to do a lot of outdoor entertaining, you will want plenty of sitting room, as well as an outdoor cooking and dining area.  Backyard design ideas for outdoor kitchens should include a barbecue and surface space.  Your backyard dining room may be furnished with a simple picnic table or a patio table of any size.  It is important to plan these backyard areas with convenience in mind and place them as close to your indoor kitchen entrance as possible.</p>
<p>You may prefer a private backyard retreat for just yourself and your spouse.  This could be designed in a small, secluded area of your backyard, near the beauty and tranquility of your garden, or surrounding a relaxing hot tub.  The furnishings in your personal backyard retreat can range from a comfortable garden bench, a hammock, or a rejuvenated love seat from indoors.</p>
<p>The accessories and lighting you use to decorate your backyard living space will set the mood and atmosphere for this part of your home, just like inside.  Citronella candles are great bug repellents and add a subtle glow to your backyard retreat.  Colorful accents, like pillows, placemats, and bright chair cushions, can make your outdoor areas very inviting.  Consider festive vases full of your favorite flowers for table dcor and hang wind chimes for a melodic atmosphere.</p>
<p>Lighting is a very important part of your backyard design.  If you do a lot of outdoor entertaining at night, you will want bright lights that illuminate your yard well, especially near your dining area.  Coleman&#8217;s propane powered tabletop torches are easy to use and perfect for the backyard.  Smaller patio lights are ideal for walkways or sitting areas and simple tiki torches provide an inexpensive lighting option as well.</p>
<p>To keep your backyard retreat enjoyable, as well as presentable, design plenty of storage options for the common backyard items that aren&#8217;t the most attractive.  Store tools and lawn equipment out of sight in a storage shed or under the deck.  Garbage containers can be housed in the garage or behind a decorative wall.  Plants and trees also make wonderful barriers, as well as terrific backyard decorations.</p>
<p>Your backyard should be a place of fun and relaxation for you and those you love.  Backyard retreats can be as simple or as extravagant as your tastes desire.  Careful planning and a few inexpensive furnishings can transform your backyard into a peaceful outdoor haven or a bright and exciting island vacation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you like music a lot, you may be hoping of going into some branch of the music industry yourself. Doubtlessly, you will have been told that this is awfully hard and I am not trying to insinuate that it is not, but maybe most people who are trying to get into the music industry are applying for the same posts.</p>
<p>The list of jobs available in the music industry must include teachers, songwriters, doctors, therapists and many others, not only singers and musicians, so it pays to think laterally if you want to head in this direction, because traffic on the main highway is usually at a stand-still. Anyway, here is a list of other jobs in the music industry and I hope that it is of some help to you.</p>
<p>There are jobs with music and record businesses for staff song-writers, that is, for people who compose songs for the artists who are contracted to that label. Find a couple of artists that you admire working for the same label, compose a few songs for them and apply.</p>
<p>If you cannot uncover a single label that suits you, you could do the same job as a freelance song-writer. This way you are not hamstrung and can compose for all the artists that you like.</p>
<p>If you are clever with words but not such a great musician, you could become a lyricist. A lyricist may or might not team up with a musician to create a song. Like Gilbert &amp; Sullivan or Rogers &amp; Hammerstein.</p>
<p>Jingle-writers are always in demand, at least decent ones are. Jingles need to be short but catchy. Writing jingles pays good money, but it will perhaps not make you famous outside the music industry.</p>
<p>A music publisher scours the market for freelance songs and buys up the copyright or license to distribute those songs or to sell or license them to singers and musicians.</p>
<p>A music editor might work with a composer or song-writer to make sure that the timing and the cues for the musicians and singers are feasible.</p>
<p>Notesetters have to have a decent ear for music as their job is to write down in musical form what untrained musicians play to them. There are many, many modern musicians who cannot write a note of music but who can produce very popular songs. These songs have to be written down by someone and that someone is a notesetter.</p>
<p>A talent scout in the music industry has the official title of Artist &amp; Repertoire Co-ordinator or A&amp;R Co-ordinator for short. A step up from this position is the A&amp;R Administrator, who co-ordinates the co-ordinators and sets and monitors their budgets &#8211; a type of a musical accountant.</p>
<p>Then there are the jobs in public relations. These people usually work for record labels. They promote the artists who have signed onto a record company&#8217;s label. There are quite a few degrees of responsibility in this department.</p>
<p>An agent or an relations representative, is aperson who manages his client and finds him or her work. They check the contracts and give business advice. They are well-|known as &#8216;Mr. Ten Percent&#8217; although in practice it is usually double this unless you are famous.</p>
<p>Campus representatives promote records to students and promotional staffers promote wherever possible &#8211; radio channels, stores, musical directors.</p>
<p>Music teachers teach music to groups from pre-school through to college level. Their duties differ with the age of the student and the purpose of the class.</p>
<p>A music director has the job of overseeing policy in school or college or setting the entertainment for a cruise or a holiday camp, hotel or holiday complex.</p>
<p>Then there are organists in churches all over the country, who often double in other musical careers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kanji symbols are one of the commonly used type of symbols in the Japanese practice of tattooing. In fact they are some ideograms that can indicate an entire idea or symbolize a particular thing. These symbols are created using some marks which are picked out very carefully. Because of their exceptional aesthetic pull, they can be easily recognized.</p>
<p>Throughout the years, Kanji symbols have become the first choice for all those interested people in tattooing. Designing of Kanji symbols can be widely found in ornaments such as bangles, chains and earrings. Even the lanterns and wall hangings are decorated with Kanji symbols nowadays.</p>
<p>Kanji symbols can express any idea in a tempting way and that is why hundreds of people are interested in getting themselves tattooed with these symbols. But prior to selecting the suitable symbol, you should realize that they poles apart with the structure of English, so awareness about the message of these symbols is necessary to select the suitable one for you.</p>
<p>Yes, it is a truth that too much people have been meshed tattooing with the inappropriate symbols, trusting in their external meaning. later, they realized that those symbols didn&#8217;t convey what they expected, moreover they had a blush-making meaning which they never liked.</p>
<p>For people who are unfamiliar with the Japanese language it is next to impossible to decipher what a kanji symbol denotes. One can simply end up with something that turns the head of the Japanese people but for all the wrong reasons. Tattoo searchers repeatedly encounter this problem when they rely on a non native speaker with their kanji symbols. A tattoo with a wrong meaning then serves the purpose that it was initially intended for which was as a punishment for criminals.</p>
<p>The history of kanji symbols is extremely rich and also the symbolism that it carries. Not all Kanji experts today are tattoo artists. Rather they take to the script as a way of fine art as they play with the script to compose a marvellous piece of art.</p>
<p>The fact that fifteen centuries have gone past after the initiation of Chinese characters in Japanese language is an ample evidence for the ancientness of Kanji symbols. Still this form of art has not lost its appeal and that is the real splendour of Kanji symbols &#8211; the unequalled record of winning over the masses for centuries.</p>
<p>The beauty of life is wonderfully illustrated in the Kanji symbols and they have got a compassionate attractiveness among the public. Really Kanji symbols are the immortal expressions of the everlasting human imagination.</p>
<p>Kanji symbols are actually derived from the experiences and practical life of man. Most of the symbols are connected with the human life. For example, the symbol for peace is represented by the depiction of a woman standing under a roof for shelter. &#8216;FUKU&#8217;, the symbol for good fortune and comfortability and &#8216;GAKU&#8217;, which stands for happiness are another evidences for this fact.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/articles/article/Japan/Japanese-Kanji-Symbols/1376">Popular Japanese Kanji symbols</a> are often used as designs for tattoos.
