The Orthodox Christianity Culture in Eastern Europe

The Orthodox branch of the Christianity is mostly spread in the Eastern Europe due to the influence of the Byzantine Empire, the first and the second Bulgarian Empire and the domination of Slavic population in the East European regions. Even though it a part of the Christianity, many differences can be traced between the Orthodox and the other major christian branch -the Catholics. It is mostly visible in the religious art of the two churches and the temples the two More

The Modern Literature

Certainly, the 21st century brought to authors the amazing opportunity to write novels inspired by the modern and highly developed societies, supported by technologies and growing entertainment industry. This has shaped the figure of the modern day literature, but in order for people to estimate what they are receiving as a product, a detailed analysis on these developments should be made.

The modern day literature can be classified as a progressive type -the reason is because the constant innovations in More

Art can be enjoyed by all but should be loved by the artist

Becoming a famous artist can be a very difficult task. There are many great artists that were not recognized until long after they had died. Their work will live on forever as masterpieces but they were never honored as being known as great artists while they were alive. Now there are so many different forms of artistic expression that it can be very difficult to be noticed unless you’re work is extreme.

I love doing art for myself. I feel More

Classic Danby

Ken Danby was a child when he thought I want to be an artist, so that’s what I’m going to be (That’s my idea of what he might have said, by the way; look at Ken’s awesome paintings and you’ll see where my enthusiasm comes from.) Born in 1940, the pride of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, his parents – Edison and Gertrude – wanted him to succeed just as much as he did, and supported him all the way.

The Beauty of The Brotherhood.

I have been to quite a few different exhibitions over the years and I have seen the work of many different artists. There have been a number of memorable pictures for me; for a number of different reasons.

When I saw ‘Madonna on the Rocks’ by Leonardo da Vinci I was pretty much blown away. I can remember being bitterly disappointed as I stood in front of my first Dali picture (‘God, it’s so small in real life!’). And I More

Sorry, But This Is How It Really Is

At college, my art teacher told me “don’t be an artist, it’s really hard”. I didn’t listen to her of course. Away I went in to the big wide world to become an artist. And it was big, and it was very, very wide…

What did I discover? That she was irritatingly right, of course. How right? Well, if anything she had been kind to me. Being an artist, as I quickly found out, was nothing to do with art. More

Correct Technique

It may sound like a ludicrous joke, but the reason why some people never learn to draw properly is because they have no idea how to correctly hold a pencil. I know this to be the case because I have taught numerous private art lessons and seen this happen time and time again. There is nothing on earth quite like the expression on a fifty-six year-old woman’s face when you tell her that she can’t hold her pencil properly. If More
