I'm in deep trouble! I did high school art until grade 12, but have lost my art portfolio. I wanted to do Vet science and am doing a foundation year, but nwo I'd rather do Visual Arts at Uni. However, how do I build a professional art portfolio before entering Uni if I already graduated from high school?(My art pieces had an accident...)
Build an art portfolio!?
One of the biggest things they look for in a portfolio is figure drawing and anything drawn from real life. So have someone pose for you or draw still life or architecture. Stick to black and white unless you have some knowledge of color theory.

Is it possible to model for nude art and be a Christian?
Is it possible to model for nude art and be a Christian? One of my really good friends models for nude art. I'm not going to lie, she has a really nice body with the hour glass shape and is really fit and in good shape. I can see why she models for nude art, though one thing about her is that she's a Christian. I asked her if that goes against her religion to model for nude art and she says it doesn't. She tells me that art is a form of expression and that nude art is a beautiful form of art that has been around for many years. She has invited me to some of her art sessions and from what i noticed it seems as though she models for erotic nude art, with her posing with other female models in sexual erotic artistic poses. Is it possible to model for nude art and still remain a faithful Christian?

Yes but I don't do erotic poses
Reply:Oh I get it this is one of those joke questions, you just forgot to add the quick link to a picture of some fat nasty chick.
Reply:In my opinion she is not a Christian.
Reply:How many times are you going to ask this? Where is the link this time?
Reply:The "erotic" poses are entirely in your imagination.
Reply:Well I guess it is possible if your friend IS a Christan and she models nude art....don't you think?
Reply:It is not acceptable to use one's body to tempt others. Based on your description of her, guys probably take pleasure in looking at her (the sin of lust). So she commits mortal sin by posing nude (assuming she knows this is seriously wrong). The Lord requires us to dress with Christian modesty, like His mother does.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with nudity. Observe Michaelangelo's david and the ceiling of the sistine chapel.
There is something wrong with sexual promiscuity
Reply:According to Adam and Eve, she should feel bad for being naked and cover herself. According to me, if she's cool with it, then let her do it.
Reply:do you have a link to one of her pictures?
Reply:Yes, because when you are born you are born naked.
Reply:didn't this already get resolved? the answer I gave last time still stands...if it were tasteful nude art, there would be no conflict, but the link you gave last time showed something that is more akin to porn. THAT is simply not acceptable as a Christian or a nudist.

Anyone studying FINE ART at LEEDS college Of Art And Design? (or other uni-colleges in Yorkshire)?
Anyone studying FINE ART at LEEDS college Of Art And Design? or for thatmatter any other institution in Yorshire?
Whats it like? I am thinking of doing a P/T art degree,I would mostly like toconcentrate on abstract painting.
I would not like to do too much of the business side of things if it meant too many business entreprenuership and presentations.......how are you finding it? I started a fulltime degree in Art and Design (now called Design Practice) at York St John but hated the OTT and irrelevant (to myself) almost "dragons-den" like business modules. A bit of businesswould be ok, but not silly presentations to real-life bank managers.I want to concentrate on ART.

Sorry to be the one saying it... but if you bothered to look up course specifications you wouldn't be so stuck. It's quite an easy thing to do. All you need to do is have a look at the university website and look under 'course structure' to see the electives and course topics.
Fine Art at leeds has little focus on the business side although it teaches you how to manage and advertise yourself to help you get work and recognition.
Good luck

Question about modern art?
From what I've learned in my modern art history courses, "modern" art dates from the late 1700's to present, and "contemporary" art dates from about 1940 to present. What I don't understand is why the classification for modern art started late 18th century, instead of at the beginning of the Renaissance. That would be a more logical place to separate modern from ancient art (I would think). Does anyone know why "modern" art begins when it does?
Question about modern art?
Labelling art as "modern" art is strongly linked to the Enlightenment period. Before this time (during the Renaissance and periods before) the vast majority of artwork was dedicated to religion. As social and cultural mindset shifted away from theism and towards science artwork began to progress similarly. You can see this shift beginning when you look at Rembrandt's work. He not only paints pieces like "The raising of Lazarus", but he also depicts scenes such as "The Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp". This is what is considered "modern" mentality.
Reply:these are just labels. don't think of Modern as a time period, as in the general world. they just name them as they go. And, we would still have to seperate the art from the 1600's from the "modern" art from the 1800's.

Which martial art will build my humility the best?
i was watching a crap martial arts club today and i was thinking to myself hmm they suck. But what i realised later was that i was an arogant prick. i mean sure they were no bruce lee's but are they really supposed to be i mean deep down arent martial arts just supposed to give you physical fitness and confidence? and who am i to say that they were not really good because there chosen martial art had given them this. this experience has changed me and left me a broken man. i want to study a martal art again but which one should i chose. I dont feel worthy to chose any i am to arogant to join to obey. what to do what to do. I cant stand the lack of ability but at the same time i know that there is no lack of ability its all just a matter of perspective. i cant cope man i cant cope its game over . what martial art will teach me to become truly humble and not judge?
Which martial art will build my humility the best?
Wow, great question. It has the roots of its own answer. Approach life as a student. In ancient times monks used to carry an empty bowl to symbolize the readiness to be filled.
Be hungry to learn.
Don't look so much for the art as much as find a good school. Try to find one that teaches along traditional lines. Steer away from MMA style schools cropping up all over trying to catch the wave of the next fad.
Remember the greatest martial artist will be defeated by someone. This is a great thing because it shows we all have room to grow.
Don't loose heart. Just remember to bring an empty bowl. Good luck.
Reply:no martial arts are about fighting thats what the definition of a martial art is, a skill pertaining to combat(and yes for conquest or more accurately martial refers to fighting in order to gain more land, power or women, that is the definition like it or not). its been twisted by people trying to make money and get away with not teaching you to actually fight. the one that will teach you humility the best is the one where you will get beaten up many times, its difficult to be arrogant when you're getting knocked out or tapped on a frequent basis, and it stays with you, you ever wonder why most wrestlers/boxers are really nice guys? its cause they get beaten all the time, and that teaches you respect, more than bowing and scraping your nose on the floor to further inflate sensei's already overblown sense of selfworth, and lack of humility. if you find an actual fighter who is arrogant there is a reason for it, its because they're damn good, and deserve to be confident, which is usually what it is they're very confident not arrogant. some people will always be arrogant no matter what, and nothing can help them.
Reply:If you were to imagine this scene, In the mall one guy goes in to buy a juicy Whooper burger and at the same time across from him another guy is buying a letus sandwich, they both look at eachother, the letus guy is thinking
"what an idiot, that guy is going to have his arterys clogged up by the time he is 40 while im going to stay healthy"
The burger guy is thinking
"what a dooge, life is short and we all die anyway, i might as well enjoy this whooper, can't wait to see the look on that guys face when they drop the nuke and he goes bye bye"
Two guys, both after the same general thing, food, but both have different philosophys and values in life. One doesnt care about health and wants enjoynment, the other would sacrifice taste for better nutrition
Along come a third guy, he looks at both the food stands and thinks, hmmm, I know that if I eat a burger that it's not going to be good for me in the long run, and I think i value my health at the moment, I can eat the burger once in a while for fun but i'll wait till im old and am about to die anyway before I make it my diet
he looks at both guys and instantly understands where both guys are coming from, he respects that letus guy can eat only lettus and that he wants too look after his body, and he also admires the "don't take life too seriusly, you wont get out of it alive" attitude of the burger guy.
Suddenly a salesman from both the food shops comes up to the guy, the burger salesman sayes to him
"hey man, this burger is the healthyest thing on earth, it's way more healthy than all this other stuff, theres this guy who ate this burger for 10 years and he is uber healthy, im serius"
And the letus salesman says
"hey mate, this lettus is off the hook, if you eat this lettus all the girls will be all over you"
The guy looks stuned for a moment, then cracks up with laughter, and proceeds to beat the crap out of them with his KYOKUSHIN skills :) (a little prduct placement there)
You see, in the martial art world there are burgers, there are sandwiches, and sometimes imaginary sandwiches, some are expansive, some are cheap, for some you get great value, others only cost allot because they are in a good neighbour hood. all you have to worry about is what you want, do you want to be strictly practicle, do you want to have flashy moves to impress the girls, do you want to develop your mind and keep your body healthy? Martial arts all have different purposes, but you need to understand that if someone tryes to sell you something that it's not, turning it away has nothing to do with you being humble or not and everything to do with them selling something off to you, have respect but be realistic as well, martial arts is about humility but i like to think it's also about having some balls and giving your opinion once in a while, and sometimes there wont be enough evidence for you to judge something, in that case just make YOUR choice and walk away
I had fun writing this :) thanx

Hi,
I'm one of the people who has taken a live drawing class with nude models (both male and female) posing as subjects. I am very grateful to these people who model so that students like I was at the time could improve our drawing skills.
From the perspective of someone who has drawn from live models, I don't see any reason why the model couldn't be a Christian. Live drawing is not about oogling the model, it's about creating form, line, and shadow in the representation of the human body. True, one could perhaps draw from statues, but there is nothing like being able to draw from a model that will change positions so that you are not always drawing the same thing, or so that you can do a study of a particular muscle group and how it changes as it moves (for example). Clothed models are helpful in some ways but may obscure the muscle or bone structure you want to get right.
Yes, it is sensual, as every art is sensual, but it is not lustful, pornographic or "dirty." The human body is marvelous and having the opportunity to draw a living subject is something I was always very grateful for.
P.S. the models with the nicest bodies are not always the best *models*. The models that I found most helpful were those who struck a variety of different kinds of poses, always facing a slightly different direction so that participants could get a chance to draw them from almost every angle. Students sit all around the model so if they always face the same way, some students will only see their left side and others only their right.
Reply:Nope. I was thinking that it might be in that case if it were truely an art thing. But posing with other wemon in erotic poses blew it out of the water. If she was truely a Christian she would not have even thought about doing that.
Reply:actually, its really about how she feels. if she knows in her heart that God is ok with it, and she's not feeling guilt, then it must be ok.
Reply:All the ladies in the Playboy Mansion are devout Christians.
Reply:There's nothing sinful about the female form.
Reply:why are you people so hung up about nudity and sex?
Reply:sure.
its art.
Reply:I would have to say yes, simply because I do not recall there being any inherent problem with nudity in the Bible....there was only shame that prevented us from willingly displaying it, but, aside from that, I don't believe that God had a strong sense of disdain for the human body on display...he did create it after all! (Aside from that...if she is not engaging in any sexual activity in the process, she really isn't doing anything wrong...).
Reply:Why the hell not?
Art is just that, ART. The female form is beautiful and symmetrical and lends itself well to artistic expression.
Lewdness and vulgarity is in the twisted mind of the beholder.
When are people going to lose the puritanical, guilt and shame-ridden mentality?
Reply:Why not? Christ preached voluntary poverty for the sake of charity, associating with less fortunate people, and providing an example of benevolent members of society.
Despite what many modern (particularly American) Christians would have you believe, he said nothing about naughty body parts, inappropriate language or how high one could wear one's dress.
Reply:Didn't you ask this last night? I remember telling you that there's a long tradition of nudity in Western Art and that people in our culture are considered uneducated if they are offended by nudity in art? Did you read any of the answers people gave you then?
Reply:As long as she remembers her fig leaf. Remember all, the bible tells us that we need to be afraid of sexuality.
Reply:You asked this yesterday, and I gave a damn good answer and so did many other people.
Go and read the answers, yeah?
Reply:Yes.
Nudity is not a sin. Drawing or painting is not a sin. Nothing going on in that art class is sexual, unless you bring it there in your mind.
If you see erotic images, that's your sin, not her sin, or the artists' sin.
Reply:i don't believe you can be an active Christian and do that because people look at the art lustfully rather they want to or not it is are nature and that is a sin so with that said she is posing naked have others look at her lustfully she is causing others to sin which is a sin in it self
but really that is between her and God
Reply:Sure it is. It is not for us to judge, one way or another. It is HER buisiness, between her and God. After all, she was given free will like anyone else. At least, that's the way I see it.

What makes ART, ART?
when should we be sure if an art object is really an art object?
how do we know that what we see in an art show (exhibition) or on the street, is or isn't art?
What makes ART, ART?
"Art is a selective recreation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value judgements."
All works of art are the artist's expression of how things could or should be.
When this responsibility is avoided or abdicated you merely have decor; decoration.
Reply:if it arouses feelings by its beauty, then its art. That means even death can be an artistic depending on whose senses are aroused by the event! I got the argument from a hangman and from Orwell's story, A Hanging.
Reply:Art is an expression of beauty and/or feeling. Art can convey a message or story or it can mean something. Art is different for everyone consequently it can express different things.
Reply:Unfortunately my answer will probably give you no joy.
Anything can be considered art, these days rolling multiple colours of paint over eachother to make some mess is considered art, I personally don't get that but there must be some that do out there somewhere...
Aesthetics are about appeal, if something appeals to you its likely you can easily find an aspect of it thats artistic...
Basically what I'm trying to say is that anything, and/or everything CAN be viewed as art.
Reply:Art, one should remember, is a "creation's" classification. That being so, there is no real "objective" criteria for art. However, it is safe to claim that art encompasses all human expressions, material or not. Art is not solely restricted to an art show, and these days, people desire to see a specific form that they deem art. So, while many things are art, /good/ art is one that conforms to the perspective of a certain somebody, be it socially contrived or not.
Reply:It's art if you feel it is. Don't be embarrassed to care or not care for a created 'something'. Anything that you can appreciate aesthetically is 'Art', whether or not others think it so.
Reply:art is an abstrac thing. you can only determine the objects,paintings or whatever as art when you see something which is the main thing about a picture.then you called it as art. for example, when you see a picture of a baby eating a big-cut watermelon, u can see the main thing that the picture telling u is about a greedy baby feeling not enough to eat a small watermelon. therefore i call this as art
Reply:if you look at it and think it's beautiful or interesting then it's art. if it doesn't have any meaning or you don't have any feelings for it then it's not art.

Reply:It's art if you feel it is. Don't be embarrassed to care or not care for a created 'something'. Anything that you can appreciate aesthetically is 'Art', whether or not others think it so.
Reply:art is an abstrac thing. you can only determine the objects,paintings or whatever as art when you see something which is the main thing about a picture.then you called it as art. for example, when you see a picture of a baby eating a big-cut watermelon, u can see the main thing that the picture telling u is about a greedy baby feeling not enough to eat a small watermelon. therefore i call this as art
Reply:if you look at it and think it's beautiful or interesting then it's art. if it doesn't have any meaning or you don't have any feelings for it then it's not art.
