Art

[vpiper]

Noe I like Art too, I'm a potter, what kind of art do you like best? I like pottery to most

[Noe]

i took pottery classes for three years. we made things from scratch i.e. a mirror frame and a bowl. we then painted ornaments that were already made, first we rubbed the seam off then they were put back in to the kiln,and then the fun part:yay: PAINT. our teacher was a perfectionist so it had to be just right:) . We also did decoupage (sp?) weaving tissue paper into baskets. oh and glass painting (designing the pic and then painting). i think taking the classes really got me into art, i wasn't that interested, well i was interested but not madly interested.
i love to color, scraperfoil, sequin art, scrapbooking, and i have done a water painting before but am not over keen on doing anymore as i really don't like paint on anything that isn't 3D.
i also like to cross stitch and crochet.
thats all i can think of so far:)

[vpiper]

sounds like a fun class, I don't like to paint 2-d much either, I'm okay, I had to take two classes in college for it. My teacher was nice and understood, why I was so bad. I go a B.

I like photography, I took a black and white photo class and it was fun to use the enlarger and change photos anyway I wanted.

[marichino_freedom]

i dropped my art class because he was dumb.....and i dont like structure......and it bored me and took up to much time (i'd rather do the stuff on my own)

[vpiper]

so are you only single majoring now?

[marichino_freedom]

yeah....fortunately

[vpiper]

I loved my art classes. I learned so much. I even did bronze casting. I love 3-d work, it's more real

[marichino_freedom]

uno is dumb though...i have finally figured that out

[vpiper]

it took you that long, if it wasn't for the money I would recommend a private school

[marichino_freedom]

i might actually have to take a class or two at bellevue......which is fine. seth said i could get some decent financial aid if i did that

It was fun:yay:
i like looking at photos:) but am absolutely no good at taking photos:(

[vpiper]

a class would help big time

[vpiper]

The thing I hated about art classes though is that it ruined movies for me(yeah I'm a bad girl I watch movies) I think about how much work it took to set the scene and the art in the video work and the dancing in fight scenes.

[Noe]

a class would help big time


Which one of us are you talking to:) lol. marichino_freedom or me

[vpiper]

you noe, cause you said you were no good. I didn't even read Mary's comment about Bellvue, bad friend:ng_thumbd

[vpiper]

mary are you talking art classes? I would wait until you could get free class due to relation if you know what I mean

[Noe]

uuummmm never thought about taking classes

[vpiper]

they have no credit ones at community colleges and some photography stores offer private(small group) lessons like you would do at a music store.

[Noe]

oh right.
i have a friend in AL who works at walmart in the photography section. guess i can go and get some tips from her:)

[marichino_freedom]

mary are you talking art classes? I would wait until you could get free class due to relation if you know what I mean


:)

yeah, i know what you mean. but no, they are chemistry classes

[vpiper]

well then go a head and pay for them, cause you will be waiting FOREVER

[vpiper]

oh right.
i have a friend in AL who works at walmart in the photography section. guess i can go and get some tips from her:)


Walmart LOL:lol: Now taht's funny unless she is good at taking photos

:babygoogo baby is up(17 months old not really baby) but I should sign off and get back to my real Job MOM

[marichino_freedom]

okeedokee...

i'll keep doing nothing and looking at restaurants in chicago..

[vpiper]

okeedokee...
:topicoff: sorry, Bellevue would be a good place to take art classes though, from what I heard they have great professors .

[marichino_freedom]

thats true...i used to go through their art gallery all the time in high school

(your angry man made me laugh)

[vpiper]

Angry man? Hiking? When was he angry, I forget. I guess I get over things with him too fast

[AlanaH]

I would love to take a photography class..sigh..don't have the money. And why do astronomy classes have to be all about what makes a star? Why can't they be about how to locate the various stars? I know what's it's made out of, but I can't find it!!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

Angry man? Hiking? When was he angry, I forget. I guess I get over things with him too fast


no! lol......your smilie holding the sign on your post! not isaac......

:rofl:

[AlanaH]

I love that smiley...it's so unique and cute. But then, most of the ones on here are. That's why I downloaded them all for my MSN Messenger.

[vpiper]

:topicoff: He is a funny angry man.

but I remember Isaac getting angry this weekend about the card game, that was embarrassing, but funny too, poor loser

Photography classes are a good idea for Mary too, you can always learn more from a different teacher.

My friend Amber took Photography on-line, I thought that was weird until She showed me How she took the pictures, read a book and mailed her pics into the professor for grading. She did not do any complicated developing like I learned in school. But You could get a book on photography and that might help, borrow one from the library that's free.

[marichino_freedom]

oh, i didnt think he was actually angry.....was he?

i was miffed at seth cuz he new i needed the one card, but its just a game. it was dumb, but fun

[vpiper]

yeah, he wasn't angry but he was being a really sad loser, he makes the game less fun cause he pouts and wants to quit

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

I Love Museams Art gallerys are ok but really there is an art in everything The sun the sky the grass the trees
Theres art in a little old Maori Woman with A wrinkled brow watching the world pass by her doostep
Theres art in every strategic way the bones of a dinosaur are placed
Theres art in taxidermitry
There's art in the city the towering builings the smog the people and birds that inhabit the park
Art is all over the universe you just have to look for it

[marichino_freedom]

thats true...sometimes you have to have an open mind and heart about it....but some of the modern stuff just is ridiculous

[vpiper]

that's why it's not art unless some says it is, now who gets to be that someone.

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

Some of that modern stuff is Ok I mean with the type of house I'd want I'd have room for one modern painting

[Noe]

i see art in everything:)
i kinda like it when ppl put up christmas decorations cause you can tell how artistic ppl are by the way it is set out

[marichino_freedom]

i'm actually referring to an exhibit i saw a couple years back....the guy had a series of stuff and in every piece he used elephant dung rolled up and glazed in some way, shape, or form.....that is not art to me

[Noe]

eeeeeewwwwwww that sounds gross:drool:

[marichino_freedom]

it was soooo dumb!

[vpiper]

I remember that exhibit, that was gross, but You wouldn't have known if he didn't tell yea.

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[SisTrev]

gross...

some people and their idea of art...i tell ya...:huh: ...:no-no-no:

[marichino_freedom]

I dont care if he told us or not....but his content was just in bad taste

[vpiper]

I'm thinking about giving pottery lessons out of my studio.

[Nate]

<.< >.>

I know I'm gonna get reds for this. You guys should talk about art in a regular forum. I wanna join in :(

[marichino_freedom]

that would be super cool!

[vpiper]

I started one on the main forum for Nate and I didn't give him bad points, poor boy felt left out

[marichino_freedom]

i dont disapprove of him saying he wants to participate


no reds from me!

[AlanaH]

Hmmm....ok, none here either. But that was close, I tell ya. :)

[Noe]

<sigh> i keep meaning to post some pics of my art work :)

[vpiper]

well let me know when you do

[Noe]

I have added some of my art pics.
http://drupal.yqnews.org/modules/gallery/gallery2/v/members/Noe/

i will be adding more as i get time to:dft010:

[Skirty]

those are really good!

[leahmb]

Impressive..I'm so handicapped in that area (actually any artistic area......)

[vpiper]

good job I'm a potter, cause I do not have the patience to paint, i'm too sloppy. I like the dog, it's cute and well done.

[AlanaH]

I'm not very creative with hands-on things. All I can do is crochet, and not too well at that.

[marichino_freedom]

i tried crocheting.......never did get the hang of it

[Noe]

i like crocheting. i have made 2 blankets, a scarf, and a purse:) . Oh and i attempted to make a cardigan (without following any kind of instructions) it really didn't turn out:peep:

[vpiper]

crocheting can be an art form but it's usually falls under craft, people put pottery in the craft category too, but I believe it depends on what you are doing.

[marichino_freedom]

speaking of doing things.....i got an idea when i went to lunch the other day. taking a terra cotta pot with a piece cut out of the center and gluing moss and rocks and little stone frogs and turtle and making it a fountain.

[vpiper]

most Terra cotta pots have holes big enough for a fountain's cord to stick out the tricky part is keeping the water from going out the hole too. great idea though.

[vpiper]

Mary check out Nettie's 360 page, she had a bad fire in her garage.

[marichino_freedom]

oh no! i'll look in a minute.......how'd it happen?

[vpiper]

oh no! i'll look in a minute.......how'd it happen?
a fish fryer in the garage, it looks like a total mess, poor girl it caught her SUV too and she was going to trade it in for a smaller car.

[vpiper]

I was trying to post in the I'm back thread, but since I ended up here, the lady who I contacted about that art fair in February sent me an e-mail saying we can still apply since they have some openings. I want to do it, but I don't think I can do it alone right now. It's too much. :( Maybe next year.

I got a different application from Country side Village in the mail yesterday, do you guys what a copy? it's 160 for 2 days, but you guys will have to have your own booth.

[marichino_freedom]

yeah, we'll take a look at it.

wow, i saw the pictures....thats awful!

[vpiper]

are those your cousins in the pic?

[marichino_freedom]

yep! i had fun seeing them

[vpiper]

that's cool they make you look so small/short

[vpiper]

things are slowing down so I think I'm going to go rest and read my book, it was nice talking to you, maybe we can meet again soon.

[marichino_freedom]

i know! they are both so tall.

the one on the left, brian, is two years younger than me, and michael, the one on my right, is two years older than me.

we grew up together playing all the time and my cousin pam too. we'd always put on skits and dress up in costume....it was fun

[AlanaH]

I'm the youngest (except for one) of all of my cousins. And the only girl on both sides too.....that helps in a lot of situations...:)

[marichino_freedom]

im the oldest on my moms side, and in the middle on my dads.

[AlanaH]

I only have five cousins (combining both sides)....two are brothers, the rest are "only" kids.

[vpiper]

I only have five cousins (combining both sides)....two are brothers, the rest are "only" kids.

I have 16 cousins on my mom's side, Have no clue on my Dad's side, Funny thing is the only ones I hang out with are my cousin's wives. my girl cousins and I don't seem to have much in common. and There is such a large age span, 7-35 that there is only one cousin my age and he never wanted to play with me.

[marichino_freedom]

never wanted to play with you!? sad! should've made him like i made my cousins play with me :D

[vpiper]

never wanted to play with you!? sad! should've made him like i made my cousins play with me :D

yeah, I'm over it, now I spend time with his wife, she's fun.

[marichino_freedom]

haha.....i was such a bossy little girl. i guess that's part of "only child"

[vpiper]

i bet,

I always had my sisters to play with so I didn't need cousins.

[marichino_freedom]

yeah, it was either playing with my dolls or my cousins!

[Skirty]

All of my cousins are alot older than me and my sister, but we've always been extremely close, so it never bothered us.
Actually I always enjoyed ebing the 'baby' of the family, lol.

[Noe]

i have 14 cousins on mom's side and 5 cousins on dad's side. plus one of my cousins has had a baby

[Skirty]

i have 14 cousins on mom's side and 5 cousins on dad's side. plus one of my cousins has had a baby
I have 7 second cousins now, so i'm no longer the baby, lol.

[vpiper]

i have 14 cousins on mom's side and 5 cousins on dad's side. plus one of my cousins has had a baby

IT is a crowded house when we get together.
