Mosaic Art Today reveals the broad scope of artwork in ther mosaic world today. My fifth mosaic investigating the themes of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, titled Who Are You? Said the Caterpillar is featured on the front cover along with a four page spread of other images and artist statements.

WHAT IS "FINE" ART?

posted by Rick Delanty

Fine artists learn the foundational skills of effective design, composition, color choice and more because they know that those artistic choices, when effectively employed, will create symbolism, evoke emotion, and convey meaning. It is the constant honing of their craft that will produce “fine” works of art that will inspire and impact an audience, whether the channel for that art is a painting, a book, a sculpture, or an advertisement. “Fine” art is simply that which is finely expressed and executed. The arts and dedicated artists—“fine,” illustrators, or otherwise—are all invaluable to our civilization

"GEOGRAPHICALLY INCORRECT" SHOWING IN HALIFAX

posted by Monika Wright

Wright's mixed media paintings combine acrylic, foil and resin to create work that is striking, dripping in sumptuous colour and vibrancy with a sense of 3 dimensional depth and texture. It’s a combination that stirs up your senses. See it at the Coburg Coffee House, 6085 Coburg Road Halifax, NS, September 1 to October 31, 2012
