i want to become either an art curator or an art dealer, or just run a gallery, and i need to know the besst place to study for this
The best (undergraduate) art history programs in the US are at Williams, Vassar, Columbia, Oberlin, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Yale and Wesleyan.
Yale, Columbia, and NYU are probably the best PhD (graduate) art history programs in the nation.
I live in Louisiana and i think my options are very limited for me to become a famous actress. I don’t know where to start. Does anybody have any suggestions or know how i can get started the right way safetly?
Shame on some of you for only answering to put someone down. If you don’t have something nice to say… It’s not like all she said was "I WANT TO BE FAMOUS"
That being said, it really shouldn’t be your focus. BUT you did ask how to begin the right way and how to do so safely. Your options may be limited in some sense because there isn’t a lot going on in Louisiana, in fact the nearest legitimate agencies will be in Florida so travel will be necessary when your potential career gets to that point. Until then. you need to make sure you have your parents full support, get yourself into school productions, local theatre productions, acting, singing & dance classes… everything that you can, get into it. Don’t concentrate on fame, concentrate on work ethic including school which should remain your main focus. School cannot fall by the wayside or you will never attain your goal. The kids you see on tv and in movies are SMART. You need your education in order to have a career in this business. Once you build a resume and get several roles under your belt, look for an agent. Mom will have to be willing to travel with you for auditions and that’s a huge committment, but if you’re an excellent student and she see’s how dedicated you are to your potential career she may be willing to do that for you.
Check out Sag.org when you’re ready. There’s good info for young performers and you can search for an agent as well, but like i said the closest you will find to you is in Florida. You do NOT pay legitimate agents until they help get you a job, remember that!
Good luck!
I earned a B.A. in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Art. I would love to continue to visit art galleries with special focus on art constellations. I have no particular artist that I enjoy for I believe they are all exceptional in their own way. The art work created by random eveyday objects displayed in a 3D manner which occupies a room is unbelievable! Please help me with information of art galleries that display this type of art constellations. I would also appreciate any websites addresses that I could view for further imformation on this topic. If you happen to know of any future constellation exhibits please feel free to share that with me as welI. I would appreciate any and all ideas! Thank You. I live in Los Angeles but am willing to travel some distance to the art galleries.
Found this wbsite. Hope it helps
Im kinda shy at first but once i become a friend its all good but i just started senior high school and i barely know anyone. Im chill with all the guys it the girls ive issues with ive been told im cute a couple of times but maybe it is just my the looks preventing it. What are some tips to attract girls into getting to know me and possibly liking me.
First: dress cool! But don’t wear the same sluggish outfit everyday.
Second: girls love good hygene, since that’s what most guys don’t have. smelling good, and having nice breath would make you the perfect guy.
Third: be a nice and caring person to EVERYONE.
Hmm, well almost all girls like funny guys. You know, the outspoken class clown. (don’t be rude to the teacher though, that just makes you look like a jerk. Make fun of the subject you’re reading about or something)
But make sure you aren’t trying too hard, and that your humor isn’t wry. Sports are a major plus, too.
And hey, all guys get into trouble, otherwise girls would probably think you’re a geek or something.
On top of that, showing your sweet side once in a while to your favorite girl would really make her feel special.
Tips – make sure your humor isn’t rude or something that you picked up from Hannah Montana, make it original.
And don’t ‘play’. Sticking to one girl for a long time would actually make the other girls more interested in you, because girls would get the message that you’re a serious guy when it comes to relashionships.
And don’t hang with the wrong girls, go for the one that you really like.
I am painting an exterior metal door the color clay pot. I am wondering if the more coats I paint on it will the color get darker. I have painted two coats on it already!
Hi,
On exterior metal, you should use a bonding primer first since the paint may not stick well or adhere appropriately.
The color should be what is advertised – it does not matter how many coats you apply. However, if it is a deep base color you are using you may need several coats to cover the door properly.
Ask your paint store for the bonding primer and if the color you are using is considered deep base.
If you need any other help, you can ask me any questions you’d like for free by going to my blog at blog.ezpaintinginc.com and clicking on "Ask Mike".

We all know that artists generally see the "deeper" side of life, but is this all the time, or only when they choose, such as in the process of creating the art? Is the regular person incapable of seeing, or for the most part understanding what the artist sees? Is the artistic perception a part of every person that just needs exercise to be accessed? How do you truly know if you are an artist?
These are my general questions, which of course lead into many others.
I think my answer to your other question also sheds some light here.. science is discovering that regular people are incapable of accessing their right brain (which is used in novel and creative thinking) as much as people with schizotypal personalities. It’s not a choice, it is a personality trait.. as far as science has been able to determine it is also genetic. http://www.livescience.com/health/050907_schizotype_creative.html
I’m a huge fan of pre-raphaelite paintings and I’m looking for a book that has the complete works of all the artists. The books I’ve seen so far are not as complete as I’d like them to be. I also am more interested in the actual paintings than anything else. Any suggestions?
Prettejohn’s book is the best. It was produced by the Tate which houses the most comprehensive collection of Pre-Raphaelite artwork.

Everyone has heard of magicians and escape artists that pick their way out of handcuffs and padlocked chains and that kind of stuff; but where do they learn to pick locks?
I know magicians learn from books or stores or other magicians and then progressively go into bigger stuff, but how in the world do they learn to pick locks so well?
I’ve looked and I can’t find any books or anything on it. Can anyone help?
I’m an amateur magician and I really want to get into escape acts.
I have been an amateur magician for about 30 years, I learned to pick locks by 1st takeing them apart, (Houdini learned the same way) I learned the hard way. And truth be told, nowadays most locks cannot be picked. Most Magicians now a days use trick locks that can be found in any magic store.
This is the second film I ever made. I made it shortly after the original Mission Space and it took about a week to complete. Not my greatest film, but hey, why not?
