HypArt

HypArt is a synergetic online art project that was started in 1994.  The idea is to create an online artwork using contributions from people around the world.  Each project starts with a theme and a virtual online canvas that is divided into 9 squares.  Contributors request a specific square and create an artistic image that expresses the main theme to fill that square.  These 9 artistic images create one piece of artwork that is the combined effort of many contributors.  To date, 31 projects have been completed online.

New Innovations in Car Design

MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) is exhibiting new innovations in car design.  "The intention of this exhibition is to survey this current generation of automobiles and outline different paths to the future. These are cars intended for the average person and will satisfy the predicted need for simple, affordable transportation in the near future. In short, these automobiles are ultimately more intelligent, efficient, user-friendly, and better suited to the tasks for which they will be most frequently used." Quoted from an essay written for MOMA by Christopher Mount, Assistant Curator, Department of Architecture and Design.

Carol Allison

How to write an essay. Cheap essay writing services. Paper and Essay.

Carol Allison is a painter in the naturalistic realist approach using classical methods of drawing, and Old Master's techniques of the 18th century in oil using the Maroger mediums.   Jacques Maroger spent many years researching the techniques of the Dutch, Flemish and Venetian Schools which incorporated a translucent quality to the painting of that time.  As director of Louvre Laboratories, of the Louvre Museum in Paris France, Jacques Maroger experimented and chemically analyzed the paintings of Rubens, Vermeer, Titian, Velasquez, and other artists of the Golden Age of painting to duplicate this translucent quality. He tested the results of his research in his own paintings and published his findings in his book, " The Secret Formulas Of The Old Masters", 2nd printing by Hacker Art Books. Along with a number of painters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Carol Allison has been involved in the movement towards classical drawing and painting. Through the Siegfried Hahn-Howard Wexler School, Carl Allison learned to combine sound drawing methods and tonality with the Maroger method. Carol Allison paints as well as teaches with these methods, and makes and sells the Maroger medium. She is an accomplished watercolorist as well.

The website is well organized and easily navigable.  Beautiful, large, full color graphic representations of Carol Allisonґs art work are well designed and load quickly.  For each graphic, she gives a detailed description of each art piece.  There is a history section outlining the Maroger mediums and techniques that she uses in her oil paintings.  There is also a biography page that gives her training and education background.  Visit this site and enjoy some beautifully done oil paintings, and learn a little 18th century art history while your there.
