Peeps as works of art A metaphorical question tends to arise as our judges parse through the hundreds of photograph entries for our annual Peeps Diorama Contest. With as much time and thought as participants spend on creations, have Peeps dioramas become more than a craft project made with lovable holiday treats? Could they be considered works of art? This year the question feels more pertinent than ever, as many participants turned to a variety of artwork for inspiration. Matthew Smith, 32, of Falls Church, selected a post-impressionist style painting as his muse. “Vincent van Peep Self Portrait” by Matthew Smith of Falls Church. Jasmine Wu, Renee Huffert and Alison Gaynor chose Pablo Picasso’s curvilinear “Woman with Yellow Hair” as their inspiration, using the uniform shapes of the Peeps to “add a contrast to the roundness and unpredictability of the outline of the woman,” according to their submission. Kathleen Canedo looked to two of her most beloved artists for her pop art piece.
Entre sculpture et photographie Le musée Rodin revient, pour quelques jours encore, sur un chapitre important des relations très actuelles entre la photographie et la sculpture. À partir de la fin des années 1960 et du début des années 1970, des artistes américains et européens, apparentés aussi bien à l’abstraction de l’après-guerre qu’à l’art conceptuel, au land art, au body art ou au narrative art, développent une pratique conjointe de la sculpture et de la photographie. Huit d’entre eux – Mac Adams, Dieter Appelt, John Chamberlain, Richard Long, Gordon Matta-Clark, Giuseppe Penone, Markus Raetz et Cy Twombly – sont accueillis chez Rodin, dont le recours à la photographie pour diffuser mais aussi élaborer ses sculptures est fondateur. Ils bénéficient chacun d’une petite exposition monographique. Mises bout à bout, elles ne favorisent pas l’élaboration d’un récit global et contextualisé mais déclinent les modalités de ces connexions entre sculpture et photographie. Elles sont plus ou moins fructueuses. Étienne Hatt

Email thecheshirecat@hotmail.com These Photos Are Actually Pencil Perfect Drawings At just 22 years old, Italian artist Diego Fazo has developed the skill to create photo-realistic drawings using a simple charcoal pencil.

In fact people were so skeptical this incredible piece of art was drawn by hand that young Diego Fazo had to put up some photos of the work in progress just to lay doubts to rest. And looking at his-mind-blowing masterpiece, can you really blame people for questioning it’s hand-drawn?

6_Symbolisme de la couleur_080208 Esprit : Esprit d'Éternité Partie du corps : Système digestif Planète : VÉNus Journée : VENdredi Note de musique : La note Fa Métal : Le cuivre Le vert positif Compréhensif, tolérant, confiant, sensitif. Fraîcheur d'âme, sève perpétuelle, espoir, souhait du dernier repos, humilité, contemplation. .Le vert absolu est la couleur la plus calme qui soit. Elle n'est le siège d'aucun mouvement. Le vert, couleur de la nature, est doué d'un pouvoir de régénération, car il capte l'énergie solaire et la transforme en énergie vitale. En Egypte, la couleur verte est attribuée à Phtah, le créateur et le stabilisateur, et à l'eau, parce que dans la cosmogonie égyptienne, l'eau était l'élément primordial de la création. En Chine, le vert désigne l'Est, le printemps, le bois et la charité ; dans le christianisme, la régénération dans les actes, c'est à dire la charité, et par antinomie la dégradation morale et la folie, le désespoir.

Watch the movie » Some readers like the exposed concrete surfaces of this house by Apollo Architects & Associates but others liken it to "a series of cold surgical theatres". In his latest column, Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs discusses why gated communities are "becoming the default setting in towns and cities around the world" and asks whether it matters who owns the land beneath our feet. Readers are nervous about the fibreglass folds of this staircase by Disguincio & Co flexing underfoot and users falling off without a handrail, but they still think it's cool. Share
Béhaviorisme Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le béhaviorisme ou comportementalisme est une approche psychologique qui consiste à se concentrer sur le comportement observable[1] déterminé par l'environnement et l'histoire des interactions de l'individu avec son milieu[2]. Par exemple, l'apprentissage y est décrit comme une modification du comportement observable, due à la modification de la force avec laquelle une réponse est associée à des stimuli extérieurs (environnement externe) ou à des stimuli intérieurs (environnement interne) sur l'organisme. Étymologie[modifier | modifier le code] « Béhaviorisme » provient du mot anglais « behavior » (orthographe américaine) qui signifie « comportement ». Histoire du béhaviorisme[modifier | modifier le code] En effet, dans les années 1940 et 1950, Burrhus F. L'expérience de Skinner[modifier | modifier le code] Renforcement positif : Stimulus « Le rat est dans la cage » Réponse (comportement) « Le rat appuie sur le levier » Renforcement négatif : Exemple

Mark Klink Digital Art A Giant Geometric Vortex of Colored Tape by Megan Geckler Currently on view at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History is an impressive swirling vortex of colored flagging tape titled Rewritten by machine on new technology by LA artist Megan Geckler. I’ve long been a fan of Geckler’s site-specific tape installations that transform the interiors of art museums, retail spaces, and even shipping containers into densely layered planes of occasionally vertigo-inducing line and color. Though I haven’t seen this particular piece in person, it’s fascinating to see how she’s layered colors from red to white creating the illusion that not only is the piece in motion, but that it almost seems to glow from within.
