Incredible Art Department | Art Education The Art of Ed | Professional Development for Art Teachers How to edit video with a Chromebook Whoever said you couldn’t do things like video editing on a Chromebook. It’s true that we are limited to awesome programs like Adobe’s suite, but there are replacements that will give casual users a perfectly acceptable experience. Video editing is possible on a Chromebook, and I am about to show you how it can be done. My favorite video editing Chrome app is WeVideo. The app allows you to edit video in the cloud by allowing you to upload videos to their servers and working with them from there. The best part is you can also use your Google Drive as your storage. Let’s be reasonable, this is no professional video editing software. As you can see it works better than expected, for a Chrome OS device. Like everything in life, this web app is not completely free. It’s not the smoothest or best video editing experience, but WeVideo works.

Fastest Way to Create Comic Strips and Cartoons - Toondoo Phonto - Text on Image Deep Space Sparkle | Inspiring children one color at a time Art ArtFoodHistory The Wines of Gala: Salvador Dalí’s Surrealist Wine Guide Republished for the First Time in 40 Years Last published in 1978, The Wines of Gala is Salvador Dalí’s eccentric guide to wine grapes and their origin. Filled with over 140 appropriated artworks and collages collected and created by Dalí, the book is an equally surreal follow-up to TASCHEN’s reprinting of the artist’s cookbook Les Diners de Gala. In addition to Jean-François Millet’s The Angelus, which was a constant point of reference in Dali’s works, visuals include a Bacchus-like kitten, and a sort of tableau vivant featuring Dali himself. In keeping with Dalí’s efforts to create artwork based on his emotions, memories, and dreams, the artist chose to organize the wines in the book by how they influenced his mood. The 296-page wine bible published by TASCHEN is now available for pre-order.
