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

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.

Cranbrook was originally the estate of newspaper magnate George Booth. George and Ellen Booth founded Cranbrook Educational Community here. Cranbrook House, designed in the Arts & Crafts style by Albert Kahn (see the preceding photo), now contains administrative offices. This "fairy tale" representation of idyllic life is set into a wall of the house.
