Art-making is a wonderful activity to engage your senses, bond with others, and reconnect with our inner child. Maybe you're thinking of art projects to do with kids! Well, you can't go wrong with tempera paint and acrylic paint. Both types of paint are easy to use as they're both water-based and quick-drying, and they can give way to many vibrant and colorful artworks. But how do you know which one to use? Is one medium better than the other? The short answer: consider your workspace and your upcoming creative project. Generally, tempera paint nowadays is washable and non-toxic while still giving you opaque and vibrant color. Whereas acrylic paint is known for being permanent, with a wide variety of colors and finishes to choose from.

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added. The molten mix is applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are sometimes used. The simplest encaustic medium could be made by adding pigments to wax, though recipes most commonly consist of beeswax and damar resin, potentially with other ingredients. For pigmentation, dried powdered pigments can be used, though some artists use pigmented wax, inks, oil paints or other forms of pigmentation.

Edmonia Lewis, also known as “Wildfire,” was born in 1844 in New York state to an African American father and a Native American (Ojibwe) mother. She is celebrated as one of the first Black women artists to gain international renown. Orphaned at a young age, Lewis recalled a “wandering” childhood spent “fishing and swimming… and making moccasins.” When she attended school, she was “declared to be wild–they could do nothing with me.” She later enrolled at Oberlin, one of the first U.S. colleges to accept Black students, though she experienced racism and sexism throughout her time there. In one case, she was charged with attempting to poison two friends who she had served spiced wine before they fell ill. She was attacked by unknown assailants before standing trial, where she was successfully defended by Ohio’s first Black lawyer John Mercer Langston. Eventually, Lewis dropped out of Oberlin but was posthumously awarded her degree in 2022.

What is graphic design? Can you be a graphic designer if you can’t draw? Of course! Graphic designers communicate a message through visual means. In practice, that can mean ads (with or without words), logos and brand design, posters, flyers, type design, websites, t-shirts and merch, and many more applications. Not all types of graphic design require drawing skills. It’s the graphic designer’s job to understand key design principles and how to combine different elements, such as shapes, lines, and typography into one coherent design. Even if hand-drawn elements are added to the mix, many designers are still able to find them online and adapt them in the course of their design process.

How Are Oil Paints Made and Used? Oil paints are made by mixing refined oils with powder pigments to create a stiff paste consistency. Steel roller mills then grind down this paint paste. The consistency of oil paint colors is critical in this process. The standard for high-quality oil paint is a smooth paste. Oil paints are thicker and heavier than many other types of paint. If an artist wants a more fluid and spreadable paint, they may mix oil paints with a painting liquid such as turpentine. Pure oil paints also take a long time to dry compared to other paints. So in some cases, an artist may add a liquid drying material such as siccative to the paint to accelerate drying.

Salvator Mundi (Latin for 'Savior of the World') is a painting attributed in whole or in part to the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1499–1510.[n 1] Long thought to be a copy of a lost original veiled with overpainting, it was rediscovered, restored, and included in an exhibition of Leonardo's work at the National Gallery, London, in 2011–2012.[2] Christie's, who sold the work in 2017, stated that most leading scholars consider it an original work by Leonardo, but this attribution has been disputed by other leading specialists, some of whom propose that he only contributed certain elements; and others who believe that the extensive restoration prevents a definitive attribution.

What is the best water color for painting? Ask five watercolor artists which brand they recommend and you’ll probably get five different answers! The choice of brand seems to be quite a personal choice. I prefer Daniel Smith. They produce beautiful vibrant colors, lay down smoothly and re-wet easily in my palette. You can read more about what I consider good watercolor brands here… Whichever brand you choose, I suggest you stick to a reputable manufacturer. Make sure they are clearly labeled with the specifications we discussed above. Well-known brands include Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton, M. Graham, Sennelier, Da Vinci, Holbein, Schmincke, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. I’m sure there are others, but these are some of the best known paints – although I still believe that Daniel Smith, Winsor and Newton, and M. Graham count as some of the highest quality paint brands

What Is an Investment Proposal? An investment proposal is a document that showcases your business as a suitable opportunity for potential investors who have shown interest in your company. This document details crucial information such as your company’s objectives, market analysis, plan of action, budget and a clear return on investment (ROI) strategy. Whether you’re trying to raise capital or fund an expansion, a detailed investment proposal is also a great tool for pitching to an investor and winning over. It convinces an investor that your business is viable and worth investing in. After an investor pitch deck presentation, you can share an investment proposal with your client. It acts as a reminder and brings some of the information they might have missed during the session to their attention.

The most popular painting at London’s National Gallery is Vincent van Gogh’s The Sunflowers (1888), which the gallery acquired in 1924, along with Van Gogh's Chair (1888). So it is apt that a Vincent van Gogh exhibition would be chosen as the blockbuster to mark the gallery’s 200th anniversary this year. Van Gogh: Poets and Loversopens 14 September 2024 and runs until 19 January 2025. And what a glorious show it is. This first major exhibition devoted to Van Gogh in the National Gallery’s history includes over 50 works and loans from museums and private collections around the world, never seen in public before. Important paintings have travelled from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, among others. Starry Night over the Rhône, The Yellow House, Sunflowers and many more favorites are here, as well as never before seen delights.

Collage: Familiar to almost every art lover, collage is a two-dimensional technique combining painting, printed media, and photographs on a single canvas. The technique gained particular importance in the early days of the twentieth century when it was legitimized as an art form. Collage was one of the signature art forms of the Cubists. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque assembled their flat compositions from newspaper clippings, musical scores, drawings, paintings, and other elements. Later on, the technique of collage was employed by Dadaists and Surrealists, transforming further into the technique of photomontage. It is still used in contemporary art, although mostly in digital form.

Art for mental health: The well-being benefits of practicing art \\ Some of the specific benefits that we have seen is that the arts can improve concentration. They can improve self-esteem. They can actually reduce stress. So there is a hormone that is secreted by the body known as cortisol whenever the body is under stress, and there have been plenty of studies to show that cortisol levels can be decreased when we engage in the arts and the positive impacts that it can have on our mental health. So overall, positive benefits haven't really seen any evidence to support deleterious effects on—in terms of the arts on mental health but definitely positive.

EUGENE DELACROIX (1798-1863) Eugène Delacroix was a towering figure of 19th-century art. As a leader of Romanticism, which privileged emotions over rationalism, Delacroix’s expressive paint handling and use of color laid the foundation for successive avant-garde movements of the 1800s and beyond.
