imagination goes on

This is a poster I just found from internet ,at first I was just go caught by its beautiful rainbow colors ,then I realized ----WOW this is an airplane .What a smart design!Many posters, particularly early posters, were used for advertising products. Posters continue to be used for this purpose, with posters advertising films, music (both concerts and recorded albums), comic books, and travel destinations being particularly notable examples.What is the most important thing for poster design?I think it is imagination.You can learn skills of using computer to design from your school,but you can never LEARN imagination.A good poster is not full of high-level drawing skills ,but simple funny ideas ... just like this colorful airplane.It makes customers feel happy and safety.

tesselation is hard and craceful

This is a new word ,I just learnt it ~ A tessellation is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Inmathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions.

Some special kinds of tessellations include regular, with tiles all of the same shape; semi-regular, with tiles of more than one shape; and aperiodic tilings, which use tiles that cannot form a repeating pattern. The patterns formed by periodic tilings can be categorized into 17 wallpaper groups.

In computer graphics, the term "tessellation" is used to describe the organization of information needed to render to give the appearance of the surfaces of realistic three-dimensional objects

amazing fantasy art

Fantastic art is a broad and loosely-defined art genre. It is not restricted to a specific school of artists, gerographical location or historical period. It can be characterised by subject matter - which portrays non-realistic, mystical, mythical or folkloric subjects or events - and style, which is representational and naturalistic, rather than abstract - or in the case of magazine illustrations and similar, in the style of graphic novel art such as manga.

Fantasy has been an integral part of art since its beginnings,but has been particularly important in mannerism, magic realistpainting, romantic ar

t, symbolism, surrealism and lowbrow. In French, the genre is called le fantastique, in English it is sometimes referred to as visionary art, grotesque art or mannerist art. It has had a deep and circular interaction with fantasy literature.

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal  is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".

Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements fromPersian and Indian architectural styles.

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.

Naive Art

Some artists are trained ,some are not ,I 'd like to introduce naive art to you guys.Naïve art is a classification of art that is often characterized by a childlike simplicity in its subject matter and technique. While many naïve artists appear, from their works, to have little or no formal art training, this is often not true. The words "naïve" and "primitive" are regarded as pejoratives and are, therefore, avoided by many.Whereas naïve art ideally describes the work of an artist who did not receive formal education in an art school or academy, for example Henri Rousseau or Alfred Wallis, 'pseudo naïve' or 'faux naïve' art describes the work of an artist working in a more imitative or self-conscious mode and whose work can be seen as more imitative than original.

I'm a camp fan

As a teenager lives in modern era ,camp style is kind of my favorite art style.Camp is an aesthetic sensibility that regards something as appealing or humorous because of its ridiculousness to the viewer.The concept is related to kitsch, and things with camp appeal may also be described as being "cheesy". When the usage appeared, in 1909, it denoted: ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical, and effeminate behaviour, and, by the middle of the 1970s, the definition comprised: banality, artifice, mediocrity, and ostentation so extreme as to have perversely sophisticated appeal. American writer Susan Sontag's essay Notes on "Camp" (1964) emphasised its key elements as: artifice, frivolity, naïve middle-class pretentiousness, and ‘shocking’ excess. Camp as an aesthetic has been popular from the 1960s to the present.

Camp aesthetics were popularised by filmmakers George and Mike Kuchar, Andy Warhol, and John Waters, including the latter'sPink Flamingos, Hairspray and Polyester. Celebrities that are associated with camp personas include drag queens and performers such as Dame Edna Everage, Divine, RuPaul, and Liberace. Camp was a part of the anti-academic defense of popular culture in the 1960s and gained popularity in the 1980s with the widespread adoption of postmodern views on art and culture.

Heraldry

What is it ？！Such a weird word for me ...but believe me ,this is a really interesting thing to knowHeraldry is the profession, study, or art of creating, granting, and blazoning arms and ruling on questions of rank or protocol, as exercised by an officer of arms. Heraldry comes from Anglo-Norman herald, from the Germanic compound harja-waldaz, "army commander" .The word, in its most general sense, encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms.To most, though, heraldry is the practice of designing, displaying, describing, and recording coats of arms and heraldic badges.

Historically, it has been variously described as "the shorthand of history"and "the floral border in the garden of history".The origins of heraldry lie in the need to distinguish participants in combat when their faces were hidden by iron and steelhelmets. Eventually a formal system of rules developed into ever more complex forms of heraldry.

flowers

Every girl loves flowers.So let's learn a little more about flowers!Floristry is the production, commerce and trade in flowers. It encompasses flower care and handling, floral design or flower arranging, merchandising, and display and flower delivery. Wholesale florists sell bulk flowers and related supplies to professionals in the trade. Retail florists offer fresh flowers and related products and services to consumers.

Floristry can involve the cultivation of flowers as well as their arrangement, and to the business of selling them. Much of the raw material supplied for the floristry trade comes from the cut flower industry. Florist shops, along with online stores are the main flower-only outlets, but supermarkets, garden supply stores and filling stations also sell flowers.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

This is an outstanding French artist who loves nature and forest. He is really good at drawing trees and jungle even though he actually  has never seen a real forest in his whole life. He's work is full of innocence and strange elements.The most famous masterpiece is called <The Sleeping Gypsy>.The fantastical depiction of a lion musing over a sleeping woman on a moonlit night is one of the most recognizable artworks of modern times. It makes me feel silent and mysterious.I try to find answers in this picture but nothing has been found,which makes me feel empty and lonely too,Rousseau was a successful composer of music, who wrote seven operas as well as music in other forms, and made contributions to music as a theorist. During the period of the French Revolution, Rousseau was the most popular of thephilosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. Rousseau was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris, in 1794, 16 years after his death.

cool cool westwood

If you know punk ,you should know Vivienne Westwood. She's like the Queen of Punk!
Westwood has six exclusively-owned shops; four in London, one in Leeds, and one in Milan. Franchise stores are located in Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, three in Manchester .Westwood has influenced the launch of the careers of other designers into the British fashion industry. She employed the services of Patrick Cox to design shoes for herClint Eastwood collection in 1984. The result was a prototype for nine-inch-heeled shoes like the ones worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell when she fell during a Westwood fashion show in Paris in 1993.I like her style .The clothes are full of sexy and dirty elements ,once you see it you will be addicted to it !

Do you like jeans?Do you have jeans?Haha that's just kidding, coz' everybody loves jeans.For me ,I like skinny type because it makes you feel thinner.I want to design my own jeans one day.Just imagine the colors and decorations !Traditionally, jeans are dyed to a blue color using an indigo dye. Approximately 20 thousand tons of indigo are pr

oduced annually for this purpose, though only a few grams of the dye are required for each pair. Some other colors that can be achieved are pink, yellow, black, and white.The story of jeans begins in the city of Genoa, in Italy,I 'd like to visit there someday !

Rococo style!

Rococo architecture, as mentioned above, was a lighter, more graceful, yet also more elaborate version ofBaroque architecture, which was ornate and austere. Whilst the styles were similar, there are some notable differences between both Rococo and Baroque architecture, one of them being symmetry, since Rococo emphasised the asymmetry of forms, whilst Baroque was the opposite.The styles, despite both being richly decorated, also had different themes; the Baroque, for instance, was more serious, placing an emphasis on religion, and was often characterized by Christian themes (as a matter of fact, the Baroque began in Rome as a response to the Protestant Reformation); Rococo architecture was an 18th-century, more secular, adaptation of the Baroque which was characterized by more light-hearted and jocular themes.Other elements belonging to the architectural style of Rococo include numerous curves and decorations, as well as the usage of pale colors.

EMO FASHION

emo is commonly tied to both music and fashion as well as the emo subculture. Usually among teens, the term "emo" is stereotyped with wearing jeans, sometimes in bright colors and may often be close-fitting, and T-shirts (usually short-sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands. Studded belts and black wristbands can be associated in emo fashion. Some males can also be often wearing thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.

The emo fashion is also recognized for its hairstyles. Popular looks include thin, flat and smooth hair with lots of hair on the sides and back of the head with long side-swept bangs, sometimes covering one or both eyes. Also popular is hair that is straightened or dyed black. Bright colors, such as blue, pink, red, or bleached blond, are also typical as highlights in emo hairstyles. Short, choppy layers of hair are also common.This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad. However, in the early 2000s, emo fashion was associated with a clean cut look instead, but changed as it spread to teens. Emo fashion also has been often confused with goth fashion.

The Goth subculture is a contemporary subculture  found in many countries. It began in England during the early 1980s in the Gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post- punk genre. The Goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature  along with horror films  and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture.

The Goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion. The music of the Goth subculture encompasses a number of different styles, including Gothic rock, deathrock,post- punk, dark wave , and neoclassical. Styles of dress within the subculture range from deathrock, punk, and Victorian styles, or combinations of the above, most often with dark attire, makeup, and hair.

Halloween Is coming!

It's September now,which means Halloween is on the way!Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.  The word Halloween i

s a shortening of All Hallows' Evening also known as Hallowe'en or All Hallows' Eve.

Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand. Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced "sah-win").
The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

Japanese Animation

In Japan, the term anime refers to all forms of animation from around the world.English-language dictionaries define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or as "a style of animation developed in Japan".
Anime is a diverse art form that is targeted and produced for the domestic Japanese audience and market. Anime differs greatly from other forms of animation by its diverse art styles, methods of animation, its production and its process. Visually, anime is a diverse art form that contains a wide variety of styles that share few similarities to one another.As a popular movement and unique art style, anime styling has been the subject of both satire and serious creative productions.Japanese culture and words have entered English usage through the popularity of the medium; many terms within the fandom have adopted including "otaku", a word with varied meanings that English usage has defined as a fan of anime and manga.And  people who are addicted to animation make fall into dangerous situation .They do not want to go out and talk to people ,but sitting in front of computer alone and quietly .They should get out of their room and communicate with others.

shape of my heart

Every time when I listen to the song called <shape of my heart> I feel so sad . This is the theme song of the famous movie <Leon the professional >,which tells a moving story about a  professional assassin rescues a young girl whose parents were killed in a police raid.This is a sad story because the killer died together with the bad police in the end ,and the little girl has to live alone ever after ,with the only thing he left her --his favorite plant.I like all kinds of movies as long as they are worth -watching ,and this killer type is absolutely my first choice.Just like art is made of contrast and controversy ,characters are made of two sides too .A man can be warm -hearted and cold -blooded at the same time ,ain't it the most interesting part ?
I 'd like to share the lyrics with you all.

I know that spades are swords of a soldier 
I know that clubs are weapons of wars 
I know that diamonds means money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

about graffiti

Graffiti is a cool thing.We can find it everywhere : underground train station,factory ,school,street,even just an abandoned wall.Graffiti artist mainly use a wall as their drawing paper.In modern times, paint (particularly spray paint) and markers have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement , which is a punishable crime.So is it a good thing or bad thing?Sometimes graffiti makes street looks dirty and messy ,sometimes it makes street looks swag and colorful .There are many different types and styles of graffiti and it is a rapidly developing art form whose value is highly contested and reviled by many authorities while also subject to protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction.I think we should support it ,but also make sure this should not be everywhere.May be an old wall is a good choice ,but public places like park and hospital are really bad ideas.

Hair or ocean waves

What do you think about this picture? In fact it reminds of the famous movie "the carribean pirates ". Fantasy world always connects to the big mysterious ocean. I like the ship sailing in the blue hair . It's hard to tell wheather it's the sea wave or it's hair ...they look similarl in a strange way . Is she the goddess of the sea? Is she a creepy monster that eats the sailors? Or is she protecting the ships from storms and heavy rain? I feel so much fun to imagine all these stuffs. Where will the ship stop is another interesting question. But the picture doesn't show us more things . I can just imagine them all .

Blizard entertainment

I save this book in popular last week. I'm kind of a big fan of Blizard entertainment company because I play World of Warcraft for many years ,actually since I was only 11 years old. That sounds crazy isn't it? I admire the art of the game . How do people create scary monsters and beautiful elf? How to draw a castle that flying in the midair ? How to draw sword that has kick-ass decorations ? I'm curious about everything . It's so hard to make a game so perfectly amazing . The vivid sky and rivers,the cute mushrooms and flowers ... This book might be a little bit expensive but who cares? I just want answers ! 

the amazing violence

Kill Bill is an American action/thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. I like this poster because Uma Thurman looks so damn hot with a Japanese sword .Kill Bill Volume 1 is often noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, girls with guns, and rape and revenge.The director combined aesthetic and bloody stuff perfectly .The contrast between beautiful woman and violence is shocking and amazing.I can see why people today love B-movie so much now --- the exciting story ,the sexy girls ,the bloody fights and dramatic dialog. You must be very careful when mix these elements together because if you lose balance then you 'll suck all the fun away .That's why I really admire the outstanding Ouentin.
