			<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>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>

<p>Vincent Van Gogh has three of the Top 10 most expensive painting ever sold &#8212; Irises (which sold for $49 Million and ranked #8), a self portrait ($65 Million and #4) and the Most Expensive Painting of All Time: a portrait of Doctor Gachet, which sold for a record smashing $82.5 Million in 1990!</p>
<p>Pablo Picasso has four painting on the Top 10 list &#8212; which sold for an average of $49 Million.</p>
<p>John James Audubon, famous painter of birds and namesake of the Audubon Society was a bit less than the nature lover that today&#8217;s environmentalists would have you believe. To paint his birds he first shot them and then wired up the dead bodies and put them on branches.</p>
<p>The most faked and forged artist of all time (next to Elvis) is the little-known-today, Camille Corot. Unusual for most artists, he was very popular in his lifetime and thus spawned 100 of imitators &#8212; many of which &#8220;imitated&#8221; his signature also. Not only this, but he was also known to sign the paintings done by his numerous pupils. Over 10,000 fakes have been recorded.</p>
<p>There once was a painter who earned the nickname &#8220;Putter on of Pants.&#8221; Daniele da Volterra was employed by the Pope Paul IV to cover up the naughty bits of nudes in renaissance paintings &#8212; including Michelangelo&#8217;s nudes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (since removed.)</p>
<p>Speaking of Michelangelo and naughty nudes, his painting, The Last Judgment, which he painted late in life when he was older and crankier, includes an ugly donkey-eared figure in the pits of hell (lower right corner if you are keeping score at home.) This is a likeness of Vatican official Biagio di Cesena, who earlier had criticized the painting&#8217;s &#8220;indecent&#8221; nudes. Michelangelo retaliated by painting Biagio&#8217;s face on the donkey-faced dude. Biagio begged Pope Paul to have Michelangelo remove it, but the pontiff replied that he &#8220;could intercede for those in purgatory but I have no power over those in hell.&#8221; I think I will write and article soon on funny things Popes say. Watch for it.</p>
<p>Michelangelo also painted his own face in The Last Judgment. It is in the wrinkled human skin in the hand of St. Bartholomew.</p>
<p>By the way &#8211; Yes, that was a joke in the title.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you look at the 10 most expensive painting ever sold in auctions, 5 names dominate the list.</p>
<p>5. Picasso</p>
<p>Picasso has more paintings in the top 10 (four) than any of the others. But he is also the most modern so his painting sold for a bit less. Though the prices are still staggering.</p>
<p>A 1905 work called The Marriage of Pierette sold in Paris at the height of the Art Boom (1989 &#8211; 1990) to a Japanese businessman for $51 Million.</p>
<p>The other 3 paintings also averaged a very healthy $47 Million.</p>
<p>4. Cezanne</p>
<p>The French Father of Modern Art has only one painting in the top 10 &#8212; but it was sold at just the right time to just the right collector to fetch a cool $55 Million in New York in 1990.</p>
<p>The still-life, Curtain, Pitcher and Bowl, is a paint of&#8230; well, a curtain, pitcher and bowl. And there are some apples, too.</p>
<p>Unbelievable.</p>
<p>3. Rubens</p>
<p>The Flemish master weighs in at #3 with his Massacre of the Innocents. This picture portrays the moment that Herod ordered the killing of Jewish male children and is as different from the Cezanne as you could possible get. I won&#8217;t try to describe it &#8212; Look it up and prepare to be amazed. It is breathtaking.</p>
<p>Oh, Sotherby&#8217;s experts estimated in the auction listings that it would sell for $6 to 8 Million.</p>
<p>They were close. <img src='http://cndgn.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It sold for $68.4 Million.</p>
<p>2. Renior</p>
<p>Here is a painting you have probably seen. Moulin de la Galette is one of the most famous of the impressionist works &#8212; a busy, open air Paris cafe scene.</p>
<p>The painting sold in Sotheby&#8217;s in New York in 1990 for $78.1 Million.</p>
<p>Remarkably it sold just 4 days after the #1 most expensive painting &#8212; and to the same person, Japanese businessman, Ryoei Saito.</p>
<p>1. Van Gogh</p>
<p>You knew Vincent would be #1, didn&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Certainly there are more valuable paintings &#8212; the Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel, The Last Supper &#8212; but these will never be sold. Of the &#8220;circulating&#8221; painting, no other artist even comes close to Van Gogh.</p>
<p>Van Gogh has 3 painting in the top 10 &#8212; Irises ($49 Million and ranked #8), Self Portrait ($65 Million and #4) and, of course the #1 Most Expensive Painting of All Time: Portrait of Doctor Gachet, which sold for an astonishing $82.5 Million in 1990!</p>
<p>Two last interesting notes about the #1 painting &#8212; It was once owned by Nazi Supremo, Hermann Goring and, due to the Japan economic crash of the mid-19&#8242;s is now owned by a bank.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re on the lookout for an architectural design software to begin styling your future home, or perhaps to help you out with your university assignments, the following piece of writing can help one to make a clever choice concerning the ideal architectural design software to suit your needs.</p>
<p>Whilst I was student in architecture, I found myself pretty confused with the alternatives which i had back then. It was 2003 and my second year, so as everyone discovered a software, I had to pick one personally. After looking around constantly through forums, and talking with my colleagues I started to use Archicad, mainly because it seemed the optimal fit for whatwe got to do&#8230;That seemed to work fine, until I wanted to develop more difficult 3D objects, as well as rotate them easily&#8230;At that time, Archicad was really a bit dummer in that area, for that reason I switched to Allplan, and stayed with it ever since.</p>
<p>Enough, about me, let&#8217;s talk about what can be your choices today, since the marketplace in architectural design software is way more diverse compared to a couple of years back.</p>
<p>1. ArchiCAD</p>
<p>The initial recommendation I&#8217;ve got for newbies, is ArchiCAD, that is certainly as this software, was, yet still is probably the most instinctive ones relating to creating and modifying floor plans in my opinion. What meaning, is that if you are a young architect or designer you can certainly find the most significant commands and use them immediately to digitally draw whatever you want. You can also obtain a free trial version for that software.</p>
<p>2. Chief Architect</p>
<p>Is actually a professional 3D architectural home design software. It&#8217;s got built-in automated building tools to produce home design, remodeling, home design and kitchen &amp; bath design as simple as it gets. You can discover why Chief Architect is the home design software product of preference for 2D and 3D design for lots of US architects. This sofware also has a trial offer, so if you think this can be a better suited option, give it a shot.</p>
<p>3. Punch Software</p>
<p>Self intitled America&#8217;s #1 Home &amp; Landscape Design Software, this application combines the effectiveness of NexGen with the stunning realism of photographic quality from LightWorks, letting you create realistic home designs by yourself, or for your buyers. You should check it on their official page.</p>
<p>4. Autocad Architecture</p>
<p>AutoCAD Architecture software is the version of AutoCAD made for architects. Features built for architectural drafting assist you to create designs and documents more efficiently, in the familiar AutoCAD environment. Needless to say, you can try this one too before you buy it.</p>
<p>5. Vectorworks Architect</p>
<p>This is my personal favorite, and I left it by the end, because is really high level, and though it&#8217;s tough to master your way around it, the program can and will bring fast and extraordinary results after you&#8217;ve used it for some time. But as I was saying, this is for tech nerds, and in all probability probably not the very first option for a newbie.</p>
<p>This group of architectural designs software should provide you with a basic guidance regarding what is available nowadays on the market and what you might buy for your future projects.</p>
<p>Before you buy any <a href="http://architecturaldesignsoftware.blogspot.com/">architectural design software</a> online, make sure you read all there is to read about picking the right <a href="http://dan72.typepad.com/blog/2010/12/best-5-architectural-design-software-picks.html">design programs</a> for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Painting Lessons can help your mind be smarter. Teachers apply this within the classroom, making children enhance their intellectual abilities and extend their ability to fix difficult issues. Expert therapists have also embraced art as an additional tool within their arsenal of leading the brain-weary back to health. In fact, several psychiatrists and individuals recommend this form of treatment. In addition, training is now in place to guarantee the standards continue to be high in this developing field.</p>
<p>Art therapy is currently a common way of helping individuals to boost and enhance the physical, mental and psychological well-being. It bases its strategy on the perception that the imaginative process involved with creative self-expression allows people in a number of different positive ways. It helps them in ending or finding a means to fix various issues and problems. Art also aids them to manage their behavior, build interpersonal skills, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, reduce anxiety and attain understanding.</p>
<p>Our general creativity is generally affected by our moods, so everything may well come out inside our painting. It&#8217;s unbelievable what transpires if you let your mind and emotions run free. You may prefer to just paint ad hoc on site, or maybe reproduce a subject matter of your own selection. Normally it will help to complete more than one artwork at a given time. What wonderful tools are available for our handiwork in the fine art supply shops these days? You can have a field day.</p>
<p>I truly believe that oil paints make the perfect investment for a beginner as no matter what goes wrong it is possible to scrape paint off along with a palette knife and start again. Still regardless of this there are various extra selections from pastels, acrylics, crayons, to pens plus inks. Get pleasure from painting along with oils even though you do want to have in mind they take quite some time to dry out and may accumulate dirt along the way. Canvas you will find is good for acrylics simply because it dries relatively in no time. Brilliant colors reach out across it making it pleasant but absolutely satisfying. A study completed in California showed that a link exists among painting and human intelligence. Painting trains the mind for higher forms of thinking.</p>
<p>Painting Lessons work great for the mind. So what are the benefits of art on the brain? When people produce art and think about it, the processes increase self-awareness, initiate understanding of others and help people handle stress, and disturbing encounters. Art improves intellectual abilities and provides people with the ability to benefit from the life-affirming pleasures of making art. Our country&#8217;s high-tech business leaders reveal that they seek employees possessing the abilities provided by a comprehensive training in the arts. Art education has been confirmed over and over to assist students to increase intellectual development, inspire motivation and discipline, develop confidence and resourcefulness, and develop communication and problem-solving skills. Additionally, children who review the arts always outperform non-arts students on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests.</p>
<p>Clara Berta is a internationally renowned mixed new media artist who focuses on <a href="http://bertaart.com">painting lessons los angeles</a>, lessons and anything else. Interior designers basically really like this current art and she&#8217;s likewise in demand for her popular <a href="http://www.modernmixedmedia.com">collage painting</a> in Los Angeles. For anyone who loves art, she surely will not disappoint!</p>
