Yay it’s Friday!

It’s 12.12pm and I’m still sitting at my computer in my dressing gown pretty normal for me. I woke up and wasn't feeling very well so I went back to bed and turned the TV on and got to watch a lovely movie about a princess it made me cry.

I have been designing a new business card for Carolyn as she has an exhibition coming up in a few weeks. Carolyn has been creating some wonderful work and I would love to buy a special piece of art I saw yesterday. I will let you know more details about the show when I recieve them. I would love to pop a photo of one of the dresses but I don’t think she wants anyone to see them before the show opens.

I was up to 9pm working on the Wanganui Art Society website last night uploading photos of the exhibition they are having at the community art centre. It’s a nice exhibition and hopefully next year they will host it in the Sarjeant Gallery instead of the Community Art Centre. If you are in Wanganui pop down to the art centre and check out the exhibition it’s on till the 7th of October 2007 or you can visit their website: http://www.wanganuiartsociety.co.nz/

I spend the afternoon yesterday sending out tickets to my friends and people in Auckland that I thought would like to come to Breakthrough to Success event in April 2008 which I will be attending. I have been given a massive pile last night so if you are reading this and would like a ticket let me know. I have about 30 to give away they are worth $895 each. I wrote about it in my blog yesterday and have more information here if you need it.

My message for the day was: You need not wait until a crisis or some other dilemma has hit before asking for help. In fact, it is a good idea to work with us in any trying situation before it gets to the boiling point.

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...

Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals. What is a fractal? A  fractal  is "a rough or fragmented  geometric shape  that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," [1]  a property called  self-similarity . Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by  Karl Weierstrass ,  Georg Cantor  and  Felix Hausdorff  in studying functions that were  continuous  but not  differentiable ; however, the term fractal  was coined by  Benoît Mandelbrot  in 1975 and was derived from the  Latin   fractus  meaning "brok...
