Pumpkins!

Carving intricate faces into Pumpkins isn't really your thing? Well try some of these easy to do pumpkin tactics to help you get through the season. Sometimes more is less. But not in the case of this Burger. Make you have all the parts of the classic sandwich. It's just not the same without it.

And this Baseball Pumpkin is the perfect thing for your little star. Make sure your laces are thick enough to be seen from a distance. But if the scary faces is your cup of tea. try using the lace idea for the mouth on your horrific monsters.

Leaf Art

Here is yet again another super easy to do art project that perfect for the fall! Leaf Art. All you have to do is dip your leaf into colored paints and press on a piece of paper. Be careful to pull the leaf off of the paper at a moderate speed. Moving too slowly will cause you to lose the pattern of the leaf but moving too quickly may cause the leaf to break. But this is super easy and a good idea to do with children. it's a great way to make the best of leaves falling out of trees. (other than jumping into a leaf pile of course.)

Pencil Tip art

This must be the real test for pacence. Because there is no way that even with the best tools i could ever have the time and willingness to carve the led on the tip of a pencle.

If you think you can handle it try carving out the tip of your favorite pencle. Try useing a pin as your tool.

Good Luck!

Crayons!

This is one of the cooliest easyist art pices i have ever seen in my whole life. It's super fun, Colorful and easy to do. You hot glue your various crayons at the top of a canvus and then turn your hair dryer on high heat and blow at the crayons untill the wax melts. I have yet to try it out my self, but i plan to soon. If you plan on doing it and you wanna mix it up alittle bit try cutting out shapes for the crayon wax to work around, like this.

This is a super simple way to make the project your own.

I can't

One thing that an art teacher told me when i was very young is that the most common response she gets from students is that they can't draw something, or they're not good enough to do this, or that. Or they'd say that they didn't have any artistic abilities. and she would always ask them if they wore cloths.
The student would always look at her kinda funny because of course they wore clothing! Everyone does. Then when they finally responded to the question with a yes. she'd look them in the eye and say "there you go. Your an Artist." and they'd wonder how. Well your clothing is a reflection of you and your moods. Everything from the color to the style is all you. No it doesn't have to be this

 to be your own cloths art. Anything you wear is a reflection of you. Look at what your wearing right now. What does it mean about you>?

Read All About It.

I know that everyone's seen this video. But i just really have to rant about how Beautiful this performance really is. And the song choice was Perfect. The first time i saw this video it made me cry and i hated the fact that i was crying not because of pride or anything like that, But because the tears were blurring out my vision and i couldn't see the art that was playing out on the screen in front of me.

WARNING TO ALL ARTIST

In my opinion one of the most challenging things as an Artist is finding Balance. Not, not balance in your work.But balance in your life. I could spend the whole day locked up in my room working on a project. But it's important to stop and give time to those around you, the ones who inspire you  And also to give then your undivided attention. I remember this summer i promised myself that i would make memories. And that i would capture them by always having my Camera on me. But about halfway through the summer i noticed that i was only capturing moments. Not even memories i was always so caught up in getting the perfect shot that i forgot to enjoy the moment. So remember to put your art aside and pay attention to Other important things.

And enjoy the moment

A New Thought

Have you ever been in a rut? One were you really can't think of anything creative to do? Well here is a man who was hopelessly stuck in a creative rut ever seance his mother passed away. ad eventually this was the result of over 7 months spent in thought.

Breaking Walls

I loved this video and thought it was worth blogging about because it really opened my mind. This song that the entire county has come to hate because of The artist risky video, is a truly amazing song. And this Cover is sung by Chester, and i love how he (unlike most covers you see) added his own style to the song. Rather than just re-singing the song.

Nose Art

Noes Art is something that soldiers started in WWII. So what is it? Well it's drawings or paintings of something on the nose of a plain. It's usually of a woman,. Simaler looking to the pin ups that were being hung in teenage boy's bedrooms back home. But the nose are was something that gave the piolets a sort of pride for their plain. It suddenly became  more than just a machine that they flew and fired from to kill people it was theirs. Nose art also served as an identifier, there were more than one occasion where plains mistaken as enemy flights but were saved from attack at last moment because the painting were noticed. Today in the US Army nose art has been banned because of the extra money for paint and because it was too difficult to come up with guidelines for the art. But i feel that this is something the government should allow. Because when you;ve seen things like a soldier has, you deserve to draw, or paint on your plain. Because you need some sort of self expression.

Street Art can be a bad thing, I'm not saying that i's all good and that you should let people draw all over your property. But i will ask the average person to not look at something like the picture above and think nothing but bad things about the "hooligan" who drew that. Because while it is vandalism. you must keep in mind that is also art. Now i'm sure i would feel differently if someone walked up to my house with a can of paint and started using it as their canvas. But try to see the better in something. Because life is too short to spend it seeing all thing black and white. make sure that everyday you sift through shades of gray. Because this above is not something you should be arrested for. It's art.

Recovery

It's always been amazing to me how when people go through a traumatic experience they have the ability to act different ways they could ignore the problem, let those feeling build until they have no where to turn. But some people find a way to go, they discover a new path and a way to help release some of this pressure. Most people could turn to a friend or to professional help. But there are a select few that do even more. They tap all of this negative energy and turn it into something beautiful. One incredible example of this is a man named Mark.

 He was 11 years old then in 1940 the German army invaded his home town. Mark was a Jew and he survived the horrible experiences of the Holocaust. When he channeled his Emotions he created something amazing on a blank canvas, a way to show people what it's like to be in the head of a survivor.

About A New Place:Video

           Of all the murals, and paintings I have seen, I must say that this is by far my Favorite. The explosion of color is amazing in contrast to the old and dirty wall behind it. It brings a new light to the area. Once a falling apart, run down place it is now a beautiful, and awe inspiring masterpiece.
              I love how the artist creates shadows with nontraditional  Shadowing colors. The glossiness in the eyes allows the viewer to see more than just these eyes. Plus it is mind blowing All the detail that the camera will never pick up. My favorite part of the painting is the butterflies, Starting off as random blobs of paint, formed into something amazing.
              When i showed this to my sister she said that the artist was a fool for taking so long on this painting, who would ever take more than 2 hours to paint something. But if you ask me this was a better use of  8 hours than anything I've ever done. I love this painting so so much! The YouTube Account of the Artist is 'Agnescecile' She posts Videos at least once a month. Please check out some of her other videos.

What do you mean 'Everywhere'?

Yes! When I say everywhere, i mean everywhere! Advertisements! Doodles! Graffiti!Music! Signs! Cloths! everything, everywhere can be connected to art. Keep your eyes open and never take it for granted. Because it connects people.
