My Favorite Painting...
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Georges Seurat, 1884–1886
Oil on canvas
The first time I saw this painting was in 5th grade art class. We were studying pointillism because our last art project in grade school was a wall length mural in the school library created with pointed brushes & Q-tips. Ever since then I had adored this work of art.

Artist of the Week: Paul Signac
Paul Signac was born on November 11th, 1863 into an affluent Paris family. In his youth, Signac wanted to be an architect, but in 1880 abandoned that path for a career in painting. He was influenced, early on, by Claude Monet and the Impressionist movement.HELLO QUEENMARGOT
*HELLO QUEENMARGOT* You are a pathetic woman. All of your lies and all that you have done to injure others, is finally beginning to catch up to you. Your mask is falling, and you are realizing that there are many times now that you can't control your thoughts or your emotions.Mesopotamian Cylinder Seals: Pre-Dynastic Period
This Seal was found near Uruk, Iraq in 1940. It's made of Marble and was probably made around 3000 B.C.E, or so. These Early Seals were probably not meant for individual people, but rather represented whole administrations and Royal families.
Crayola Art
Now here's something you don't see everyday. Usually when you hear that a piece of art is "done in crayon" this isn't exactly what you have in mind. Apparently a man from Minnesota named Don Marco creates beautiful art pieces with regular old drugstore bought Crayola crayons.
Mesopotamian Cylinder Seals
Ok, so instead of doing an artist this week, I'm going to do some Mesopotamian Cylinder Seals...don't worry; they're much more interesting then they sound. :-p I just completed a paper on these Seals for a class at school and figured why not share my new found knowledge with all of you. So, here we go: A Cylinder Seal is a cylindrical (hence the name) piece of stone which has been engraved with a continuous design around it's entire face.Top Brands
