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."

How do :Books: make you smart??


        :^)    Do reaDing bOOks ReallY maKe You SmarT?????               
                             That is a hard question....
                   But the answer is YES and NO>>>.                           
                                                                                    WHY?????                 
Because it depends in what kind of book you read.....
Most of the times reading books doesn't only makes you smarter but it also gives you greater capacity for critical thinking, thinking outside the lines, deciding for yourself what to believe,thinking more deeply about issues and morals and so on.It  also excercises your brain cells. I think that books are related to hummanities because many authors, like painters or any other artist, express what they feel in a novel, poem etc. They also write books about history around the world (what happend in the past and what is happening now), which we all need to know because we all are part of this word and it is important to know what is going on in the place where we live. Any reading will increase your vocabulary eventually, but books with serious subject matters will inform you, and surprise, you might enjoy this discovery process.
              
                                  BOOKS CATEGORY:::::::::
KIDS :;[":"";';
There are many different categories of books. There are books for:starting from little kids. there are many book that can make them smart. Most of the book that we see for little kids are those of that teach them the alphabet, eassy words, short stories etc. All mothers try to read books to their kids before they go sleep so when they grow up they are smart.
            

ADULTS......:)
There are many many books for adults too. There are many diferent types of books that many adults like. I think that many adults should read books because, much of our media looks down on smart people. They like to produce stories on beautiful and famous people with problems. Sometimes it almost seems to be unpopular to be smart. Such an attitude will not fare you well in the real world. Cultivating your intelligence, is one of the most important things you can do to ensure success in life.Some of the books that many adults prefer to read are: romantic, non-fiction, fiction, self-help, autobiographies, biographies, science fiction, horror, mystery/suspense etc.  
         

       
                                   BUT!!!!!!!!!!]\
           wHat IF you Don'T like ReADing BooKS?????
There is still something you can do about it...>>
There are many book with pictures that explains everything in pictures and all you have to read is like three or four lines per page. You just have to try. It is not that bad to read books. I mean it is kind of boring because you have to look at the words all the time but STILL if you are interesting in that type of book, you are going to like it and the pages are going to fly by, without even noticing it.

                                        
As this quote from Oscar Wilde saysif you don't enjoy the book that you are reading what is the point of trying or read it. 
 “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”

Keeping the environment GREEN....

RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE ,RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE
How many time do we hear this word?????? 1,10,100,10000.... A lot, right.....
BUT
What does RECYCLE means???
Recycle essentially means to reuse an item. Instead of throwing it in the garbage, we just recycle that item to be used again.


                     SoMe Of ThE iTeMs ThA cAn Be ReCyClE....|| 
Some of the items that can be recycle are: paper, cardboard, glass, and plastic etc. These items can all be recycled to do something else.
                 

WHY Recycle????
The importance of recycling can be observed in multiple ways. If you are wondering in your mind as to "why I should recycle" then here are some causes which should convince you to do so.
All raw materials and all energy are provided by our blue planet Earth, but they are NOT endless.
With population explosion we are stretching our natural resources to their limits
.

We also need to recycle: To Reduce Global Warming, To Prevent Air Pollution, To Solve the Problem of Insufficient of Landfills, To Prevent Water Pollution, To Save Energy, Saves Natural Resources etc.
>Factories and industries manufacturing items made from plastic and metals release large amounts of toxic gases. (Air Pollution)
>The human species will last longer if you recycle paper because less trees that produce oxygen are cut down.( Humans life) And there are so many othersssssss....
 

HOW you CAN help RECYCLE??????

Very easy....
Recycling is easy once you get everything sorted. You will need to sort out the recyclables such as glass bottles, plastics cartons and paper into the appropriate bins and from there, those materials are sent on their way to becoming something else for use. You can also utilize those food scraps and waste trimmings from the yard in a compost heap.
                                                 WHO CAN RECYCLE??????
-EVERYONE..
Adults, old and young women/men, and even kids. Everyone can at least take a piece of paper and put it where it belogs.
Everyone can help themselves to have a better life in th community that they live.
     

"We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly". As this quote by Clement of Alexandria says that the good are called good because they can be used for good things. There are so many good things that can be use for many other good things.

DEAR  PEOPLE  HELP  YOURSELVES  TO LIVE  A HAPPY  AND CHEARFUL  LIFE WITH  NO  PROBLEMS FOR  THE EVIRONMENT, BY RECYCLEING.
