As an art teacher I use this effect to demonstrate how meaning in an image can be inate, as opposed to socially constructed. To demonstrate social construction I use an image of an arrow. To an Australian aborigini an arrow 'points&#x2

Fascinating. However, a bit disappointing that the result looks like it was hand painted. I would have liked to have seen designs which are impossible for a human to achieve. The conflict between natural media and (for example) exact and co

> Is a 3D printer closer to a drawing machine or a conventional printer? I believe so. The ancient Greeks would scale up a sculpture using a cage placed around it. XYZ coordinates would br drawn from this using measuring sticks. This is,

As you imply, drawing from observation is a skill that is best taught in person. The students mostly learn from being corrected, which I do directly to their drawings. However, I did put together some material on the subject. I'm not s

I teach drawing from observation. I start off with talking about projection and drawing machines then show them how to create their own 'conceptual'mdrawing machine using nothing but the straight edge of a pencil. The trick is to

Books small enough to take on one's travels was one motivation behind the invention of italic type. Using italic, a book could be printed to be 10 percent smaller than without.

For those who are unfamiliar with London parlance, the term 'diamond geezer' is London slang for a man of high repute.

As tomcam has already pointed out, Mondrian is in no way a Cubist. I would also argue that the colours are nowhere near those of Mondrian. 'classic' Mondrian paintings feature a very exact and reduced aesthetic consisting only of

My favorite secret hand gesture in a painting is in the portrait of the Duchess of Alba by Goya. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Francisco-de-Goya-Duches... The text on the floor that she is pointing to reads &#x2

Counter-opinion.... I use both the Adobe suite and afinity. I love affinity for the interoperability of it's apps (which has to be experiencd to belive) and it's comprehensive support of RAW. At home I use mostly Affinity, at work

A dam good question. Collaboration is one reason why Canvas has gained such ground even though its product is not one a professional would employ. Maybe its because their apps were not built to support collaboration. Lets not forget that th

The workshop is too integral to who I am, and I still use it. My wife was supportive of this, though she had her reservations. I still use the saw, but now am much more carfull. Table saws can be dangerous if used poorly. There are plenty o

Happy to answer any question. I have a small workshop with a table saw, drop saw and a few other things. When cleaning the saw, our cleaner had inadvertently dropped a metal bolt into the saw well. Added to this, I had not cleaned the extra

In a poorly run academic insitutiin, this is commonplace. In an art school I worked at, all student work was required to credit the head of the school and their spouse (who also worked at the school).

I think the best that is possible in terms of artificial vision is still very poor. May be useful for totally blind people but of little use to people like me

Maybe the living will care, but maybe we should not care that they care. After he died, the entire erotic oevre of the artist William Turner was destroyed by his family on grounds of taste. If they were half as profound and amazing as his l

I have been down this road, but the lessons I learn are not the obvious ones. My wife died in chikdbirth, so it was a double whammy. She was in some respects my soulmate, but she was also one of the most difficult people I have ever know.

For anyone interested in this kind of thing, I wholeheartedly endorse the iOS app The Elemnts by Theodore Gray. A bit old now, but a masterpiece of appealing UI design. https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/the-elements-by

I agree that play is very important to creativity. However, the problem is how does one play? For an adult play does not come naturally... we have forgotten the craft. When I teach creativity, I encourage students to employ devices to relea

It's amazing that Pantone and Ral managed to get away with copyrighting something so fundemantal. Surely these should be international standards, like centremetres or Celsius.

That seems to suggest that it is an alternative to Muncell, no better or worse. Muncell is the formal standard used to define the color of dental impamnts and beer, amongst other things.

To be frank, I suspect that there is little intellectual meat to either of these systems. They appear to both be no more than formally aproved indexes.

Defining a colour is a perversely difficult task. Does the RAL system offer anything unique? Wikipedia tells us it is based on the CIELAB and expresses color in terms of it's hue, saturation and lightness. But does it have any advantag
