Hello everyone. St. Patrick's Day is coming up this Sunday. Are you Irish? Even if you are not then you should still join in on the fun. Today I am going to show you how to make a Shamrock Gardland. This craft will welcome your home for St. Patrick's and will bring some Irish spirit to your home. Hopefully the four-leaf clovers will bring you luck. Now lets get started!
Materials:
string
green pipe-cleaners
scissors
Steps:
Cut three equal pieces of string to the same size.
Tightly braid your three pieces of string. (If you do not know how to braid your string look down all the way after direction number 5)
Simply wrap the pipe cleaner around all four fingers, slip them off, then bend the long end around the middle to make the stem.
4.Loop your shamrocks on the braided string and tie the ends of the string so the shamrocks won't fall off of it.
The debate against Digital Art and Sequential Art is now on The Creative Corner. Which one is better in the Art showdown? Lets find out and see...
Digital Art Digital art is art that you can make with technology. Digital art has transformed art into something you can do online. The meaning of Digital art is: a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. Most Digital art is made for advertisements or for special effects in films. Digital art is mostly 2D visual information displayed on a monitor, and then, the information mathematically translates into 3D information, viewed through the perspective projection on a monitor. The simplest is 2D computer graphics which reflect how you might draw using a pencil and a piece of paper.
Sequential Art
Sequential art is like comics. But, some early examples of sequential art are cave paintings or Egyptian hieroglyphs. Greeks also made Sequential sculpture. They would make vases to tell stories. The pottery they made lacked color and used sculpture instead. Another example of Sequential art is weaving. Weaving can also tell a story. Most recently we use comics.You can find them in the pages of magazines and newspapers. This first chart will show you the pros and cons of Digital Art.
Digital Art Pros
can make with technology
can be used in films as special effects
can be used in advertisements
new features can bring new ideas
many options for the tools
easy to edit
Cons
replaces the real art
can make paintings exactly the same as the real thing
does not provide the texture and volume of the real art
does not have the real art effect
some techniques are harder to do
This second chart is about the pros and cons about Sequential Art.
Sequential Art Pros
form of using images deployed in sequence
can be comics, Greek pottery, Egyptian hieroglyphs,etc.
Both Digital art and Sequential art both have good reasons. Digital art is the modern way to do art. Sequential art is another classic type of art. Which do you prefer? Take the poll to find out which one is better.
The debate against Traditional Art and Modern Art is here.
Traditional Art Traditional art is cultural artwork. Traditional artists work organically within a community. These artists learn informally from someone that is in their community. Traditional art can also be named folk art. Since Traditional art did not have to be "art" it could have been a tattooed bamboo pipe or a calendar stick. Traditional art is not only folk art but is like a painting. This type of Traditional art focuses on realistic things but sometimes mythical. This kind of Traditional art can also focus on religious things. Modern Art Modern art is a style of a kind of artwork that extended around the 1860s to the 1970s. Modern artists made artwork that were abstracted. Some modern art includes different colorful shapes or figures. Modern art can be reduced to three solids:cube,sphere,and cone. Modern art has different styles like analytic cubism and synthetic cubism. This kind of art is made up of different textures,surfaces,collage elements,papier collé and a large variety of merged subject matter.
The first chart shows only the pro and cons of Traditional art. Traditional Art Pros
has been defined within the parameters of painting,drawing,sculpting, and architecture
we refer to it as realist or figurative
focuses on the figure and realism
was based on human figure of landscape
can also be like folk art
Cons
the art has sometimes been altered
some artists forged traditional materials
some of the artwork went in neither category of painting of sculpture
stayed with the tradition
lead oxides may be used in some of the art
The second chart shows the pros and cons about Modern art.
Modern Art Pros
abstraction is used
the artists feel free to trust their inner visions
characterized by a large number of different movements occurring at the same time
Both of these types of art have different good things about them. Traditional art stays within the rules. But, Modern art goes all the way out and breaks the boundaries of art. I personally like Traditional art better. Traditional art is my style. This is just my opinion. Which type of art do you like better? Now it is your time to choose which is better. Traditional art and Modern art are both good but I prefer Traditional art. Please take the poll to see which type of art is better.
Hello everyone! I know that it is still winter but don't frown. Spring is coming! Springtime is a very wonderful time of the year. The plants start growing back,the flowers start to bloom,and there is fresh green grass starting to pop up from the ground. Doesn't that sound so wonderful? Spring is the time of the year that everything gets pretty. So, today we are going to make paper carnations. Paper carnationsare fun and easy to make. These paper carnations can be made in any colors you want. For sure this craft will bring Spring into your home! Paper carnations are not real flowers(Obviously!They are made out of paper.) so they will not make a mess in your home and you do not need to water them. These paper carnations will stay in a good condition for a long time so you can show these flowers off in your home for a long time. I hope that everyone will enjoy this craft. Now lets get started! Materials:
any color tissue paper
scissors
pipe cleaners(chenille stems)
Steps: 1. Layer 3-4 sheets of tissue paper and then cut them into 4-5” wide strips that are 12” long. 2. Cut about 1.5” off the end of a pipe cleaner(chenille stem) and set aside.Take the remaining piece of the chenille stem and lay about 2”
of it onto the tissue paper and roll up (starting at the short end)
around the pipe cleaner(chenille stem). 3. Once you completely rolled it up, take the short piece of the pipe cleaner (chenille stem) that
you cut off earlier and twist it around the bottom of the tissue paper
to hold it in place. 4. Use scissors to cut 2-3” long slits down from the top of the
rolled tissue paper. Continue around until all strips are cut. 5. Roll up a 6”x2” piece of green tissue paper and place at the top of the flower stem. 6. Grab the bottom of the stem and bring it up and over the green
tissue paper and twist tight. These are the flower’s leaves. 7. Repeat, making several different flowers, then combine the stems to make a bouquet. 8. Twist the stem of any one of the flowers around the rest of the stems to hold them all together. 9. Place them in a vase and use them as a table centerpiece. Tips: If you want a scent to your flowers you can spray some perfume on your flower bouquet. I got this craft from: http://crafts.kaboose.com/tissue-paper-carnations.html
