Cool Art To Canvas images

A few nice art to canvas images I found:


Rainbow melted Crayon Art

Image by niner bakes
As seen so often on the net, I thought to give it a first try on a mini canvas:

All you need to do is to affix your crayons to the top of the canvas, let the glue dry completely. Now it is time for the hair dryer: Just blast the crayons with the hair dryer and see how the colors run down the canvas and just fade together beautifully. A beautiful mess that is :-)

Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee

A few nice visual arts images I found:


Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee
visual arts
Image by Knoxville Museum of Art
Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee, is a new permanent installation of works from the Knoxville Museum of Art collection celebrating the art and artists of Knoxville and the surrounding region.

The fascinating and complex story of our area’s rich artistic heritage and its connections to the larger currents of American art are largely unknown, and certainly underappreciated. Highlights of the new installation include important works by Catherine Wiley and Lloyd Branson, pioneering artists who introduced Knoxville audiences to Art Nouveau, Impressionism, and other international art movements of their day; Joseph and Beauford Delaney, two of America’s most significant African-American artists; and works from the 1950s and 1960s by the Knoxville Seven, a group of progressive artists connected to the University of Tennessee who transformed and energized the area’s artistic climate. Art from more recent decades includes mixed-media objects by visionary sculptor Bessie Harvey along with a selection of works by leading area artists whose creations represent the quality and diversity of art-making in the region today.

After the roaring success of Ypsilanti's first Shadow Art Fair back in the summer, we're at it again, this time on the 1st and 2nd December, with even more local artists involved and live entertainment on the Friday night. Drinking tasty beer while shopping for art - it doesn't get much better than that.

I'll be there again selling my pinhole prints and homemade paintcan pinhole cameras. Come along and say hi!

Come Together: The Art Fair and the Biennale
art fair
Image by burtonwood + holmes
The Art Fair and the Biennale have grown to become arguably the two most significant mechanisms of the international art market for the dissemination and distribution of art works across national and cultural boundaries. This course will analyze and discuss the trajectory of the art fair and the biennale taking into account historical precedents, cultural contexts, economic factors and the players who have dominated these arenas. Topics covered will include globalization, Art Basel, soft power diplomacy, national pride, cultural rehabilitation, Art Chicago, urban regeneration, temporal zones of art activity, the curator as rock star, funding the arts, Sub prime meltdown, the Miami factor, and more.

Frog on Luudes (Kid Art Auction '09)
kids art
Image by Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing]
Claire (3yo) created this masterpiece from a simple paper bag, reproducible "frog part" cutouts, and a little help from pre-school teachers.

Creativity is not the focus of this project - it's purely "art is for art's sake." (I own it's twin created almost exactly a year ago from the exact same reproducible cutouts.)

I was told it was a frog, but the true identity of the creature is only known unto itself. The rectangle tongue and triangle-like toes(?) give this thing an unidentifiable species origin.

Make of it what you will.

Bidding starts at . Enter your bids (and/or comments) below.

2010 Christmas Card Front

A few nice christmas clip art images I found:


2010 Christmas Card Front
christmas clip art
Image by coconut wireless
The trees are two different rubber stamps. The lights are felt tip pen dots. The coconuts were an on-line clip art image re-sized to approximately 1/2" wide. I added the letters to the top of the image. Nine complete sets of letters were arranged for a 8.5X11 size then printed. All 14 letters were cut out from paper then individually glued to a piece of floss (mint flavor if someone licks it!). Cuts into the side were from from special clippers. Floss was strung and then taped on the back side to hold in place.


Genius coworker gift
christmas clip art
Image by prettydaisies
Kathy, a coworker of mine at Reading Public Library, gave out the most ingenious Christmas gifts to our department.

This delightfully-packaged emergency lunch kit contains: a half can-sized diet ginger ale, a small can of pineapple chunks, a snack bag of Smartfood popcorn, a snack pack of Fig Newtons, a packet of sugar free cocoa, a portable micrwaveable tomato soup cup thing, and plastic cutlery wrapped in a cute red gingham paper napkin. It's brilliant.

The "mostly mouse-proof" refers to a little mouse problem earlier this year. Note the adorable mouse and lock clip art.

Thank you Kathy!

Who Doesn't Love the Art Supply Store?

A few nice art materials images I found:


Who Doesn't Love the Art Supply Store?
art materials
Image by Viewminder
I took the little Viewminders out to Blick Art Materials this weekend.

It's always cool to walk around the art store.

Looking at all of the brushes and the paints, the paper and the canvas'...

it makes my mind wander to thoughts of things I've wanted to do but haven't.

In the frame aisle I think of all the shots I want to print and frame.

One by one the art stores I've loved have left us.

I really miss the Pearl across from the Paper Source.

I thought I'd try and capture some images in Blick Art Materials that kind of embrace what it is that I love about these places.

I watched a woman look at the moleskin display for about a half hour...

I wondered what she was thinking as she flipped through each little blank book.

I'd wanted to photograph the display but she was so engrossed in it.

The little artists painted up some masks there at an activity table they'd set up for the weekend.

I sat down on the floor and watched it all go by.

Life I think would be so different if I went to the art supply store thinking about some project that I wanted to do...

instead... it is the art supply store itself that inspires me...

I leave there filled with ideas.
