3D Street Painting



Can you believe that this picture it is not real....
WEELLLLL
It is true. It is not real but it is painted.
People are always looking to push the boundaries of street art, perhaps fed up with seeing the same (wild) style of graffiti over and over again.3D graffiti, whether it’s in chalk or paint, on walls or the street, represents a new way of combining the mastery of Renaissance art techniques with the gritty, ephemeral qualities of amazing street art. These 3D street artists gives graffiti a whole new meaning – one that departs from the conventional interpretation of graffiti as vandalism in the form of images and letters scrawled on public property.Like many artists that express their feelings in drawing, painting, photograph etc, these artists have a different way to express what they feel. It is crazy how this artist turn their  paintings into a  3D paint. These artist have a very special way of showing their feelings. When I say special I mean that, except that their paintings are 3D, their paintings were draw on the street. Different from other artist that paint or draw in paper or other things, these artist draw on the street.Look at this pictures that from a street became a beautiful 3D drawing.  
The 3D street painting "Crevasse" by artist Edgar Mueller is seen in this undated picture during the "Festival of culture" from August 21-24, 2008 in Dun Laoghaire, Irland. Edgar Mueller put a part of the eastern Pier into the ice age. This project has been supported by the Goethe Institution Germany.  The 3D street painting "Crevasse" by artist Edgar Mueller is seen in this undated picture during the "Festival of culture" from August 21-24, 2008 in Dun Laoghaire, Irland.

Julian Beever one of the famous artists that is known for his 3D paintings.His work is stunning, mind-boggling stuff: he manages to create a world ‘inside’ a pavement with his 3D pastel illustrations, tricking the eye into believing a dimension exists right below our very feet.
 Anamorphic illusions drawn in a special distortion in order to create an impression of 3 dimensions when seen from one particular viewpoint.

Here are some of his paintings.
 







Another famous artist is Edgar Mueller.He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse, which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.

Animals...=]


 
ANIMALS.....
I will start this blog by telling you guys, with how much I love animals. I love every kind of animals.......
Well !!!
Not every kind of them because some of the them are scary.....
I especially love pets: dogs, cats, etc.
       

Why we need animals???
Some people say that animals were created for us, to make the maximum use of then and to use them whenever we need. You need them for food, clothing, treatment (drug production), fertilize land traveling, packing baggage, cleaning land,entertainment. There are many things that we can do with animals BUT why do all of these instead of keeping animals just for joy. Just because they bring you happiness in your faces and they are very cute. Of course not everyone likes every kind of animals  but they for sure have their favorites and they don't want to see them dead and used for those things. There are many different things that we can use to make clothing, treatment, packing baggage without involving animals in this. LOOK all this happy faces.....

    
Animals are also important because they are fascinating creatures that we do not want to become extinct.  If these things disappear, our time will come shortly after. imals are a crucial part of our lives and we need to stay in harmony with them. Bugs like bees help pollinate flowers to make more food for us.  Animals are fascinating and a life without these amazing creatures would be dull and boring.  They are also good for pets which I think everybody should have one.  Do we really want all animals to go extinct?  I didn't think so. EVERYONE LOVES ANIMALS........ 
    

Why aRE Many AnimAls aROUnd tHE World disaPpeAriNg?????
Many of them are dying because we the people kill them. Hunters kill them, but not only hunters but even the people kill them. Some the people kill them because they don't like animals, but some of people have pets at home and abuse them.Come on people if you don't like to have pets at home why do you get them. Pollution is another reason that is effecting many animals disappear. Pollution is effecting not only animals and birds and plants but it is also effecting our lives. It is very important to keep the environment clean, because life is like a cycle. What you do today, you will get tomorrow. 
  
 

                              
As the quote form George Eliot says:

“Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms”.

animals are part our happiness life.

"American Beauty" movie

  

Last 2 weeks on our collage plan class we were talking about Existentialism. As I was reading "The Humanistic Tradition" book I figured out that Existentialism is the belief in philosophy that people are responsible for their own actions and experiences, and that the world has no meaning. One of the best movies that is easily overlooked as an existential movie, American Beauty (1999) takes a very literal look at modern life and the human struggle to find contentment and meaning. When you first see the title you think, "American Beauty + rose," and then you see the movie and you think that Angela's the American Beauty, the blond cheerleader that is the secretive object of lust. But it's not Angela, it's that plastic bag. It's the way of looking at the world and seeing what incredible beauty there is in the world.
            

 The movie follows the mid-life crisis of Lester Burnham, which is the main character on the movie, a suburban husband and father who is emerging from the sleepy malaise that has come to define his life. American Beauty also takes a scathing but ultimately sympathetic look at how people can be predictable and weak. His midlife crisis involves pot smoking, lusting over his daughter's attractive friend, getting back into shape ("I want to look good naked") and the acquisition of a vintage sports car. Even his wife is not immune to this phase in her life She has lost all attraction for Lester and seeks satisfaction outside the marriage. one of the famous quote that came up in the movie is when the movie starts. When Mr. Burnham presents himself.
"My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood. This is my street. This ... is my life. I am 42 years old. In less than a year I will be dead. Of course, I don't know that yet. And in a way I am dead already."
