City of ruins - FULL HD (destroyed warsaw in 1945 )

By January 1945 85% of the buildings were destroyed: 25% as a result of the Uprising, 35% as a result of systematic German actions after the uprising, and the rest as a result of the earlier Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the September 1939 campaign.[5] Material losses are estimated at 10455 buildings, 923 historical buildings (94%), 25 churches, 14 libraries including the National Library, 81 primary schools, 64 high schools, University of Warsaw and Warsaw University of Technology, and most of the historical monuments.[5] Almost a million inhabitants lost all of their possessions.[5] The exact amount of losses of private and public property as well as pieces of art, monuments of science and culture is unknown but considered enormous. Studies done in the late 1940s estimated total damage at about $30 billion US dollars.[139] In 2004, President of Warsaw Lech Kaczyński, later President of Poland, established a historical commission to estimate material losses that were inflicted upon the city by German authorities. The commission estimated the losses as at least US$31.5 billion at 2004 values.[140] Those estimates were later raised to US$45 billion 2004 US dollars and in 2005, to $54.6 billion

Fabric Painting - The Art of Marketing Through Painting

Since the early days of mankind, there have been traces of men drawing portraits and paintings on the wall or paper to record the events that had taken place. It was their necessity to provide their future generations all illustrative details of the events, but gradually painting became just an art. With the help of painting people tried to relieve themselves of their thoughts on the canvas or paper, and much later, they used this art to design or glorify their surrounding through fabric painting.

History of fabric painting!

Fabric painting has been traced back to the time around 3000 B.C., as printing blocks of that era were found in Asia. Fabric painting is a rich art that involves designing cloth materials or even solid substances, like that of vase or pillars, to make them look more ornate. In the earlier times before the entire world was caught up in the net of fabric painting the craftsmen from Japan and China developed the form of stencil and resist technique of fabric painting. In these forms, the person requires to apply pressure on the material to which the pigments are already attached, from behind, so that the pigment gets affixed to the texture.

Fabric painting styles!

There are various forms of fabric painting styles that have come up today, but the ones that are most popular, are the tie-dye and batik methods. They can be discussed individually with references to their traits:

* Batik: The pattern of fabric painting seems to have originated from Java, as the name suggests "writing of wax" in the Javanese language. The general idea is to apply wax and dye together upon the material forming gorgeous designs that would attract anybody. This form of fabric painting, has been revived and led to higher limits at the academic based art schools, and has inspired many minds to consider fabric painting.

* Tie-dye: Another form of fabric painting that involves simple technique of tying a small portion of the material and putting it inside the dye. The portion that does not come in contact with the dye, remains uncolored, and thus, leads to the formation of a color design; it is also known as the resist method. On several occasions different colored dyes are used to form designs on different parts of the cloth, making a dull material look gorgeous.

Starting with these methods, people have now opened boutiques of their own, where they display their designer collection of clothes that have fabric painting on them done exclusively by hand. The basic advantage of fabric painting is that the color used, is not watering and, can be washed and worn from time to time.

Apart from clothing, fabric painting is also applied upon vases and various other show-pieces that may seem dull. With the help of fabric painting, we can give a new look to the different items that have been with us for a long time but are not trendy any more. Thus, fabric painting as we can see has captured its own niche in our lives and is evolving gradually.

Learn to Be a Natural Healer at Natural Healing Schools

The ancient art of natural healing can take many different forms, many of which are in use in modern, Western medical practices, so take a moment to investigate what you can learn from a school for natural healing.

There is a great interest among the public today in alternative healing methods. Many patients are looking beyond Western medical practices to find non-invasive, drug-free therapies and natural treatments to promote healing and wellbeing. Because of this, there is an increased need for natural healing education in the US and Canada, and there are many good natural healing schools available to meet the demand.

Holistic methods of healing are based on the belief that a human being is more than a physical body; the practitioner must also consider the mind, spirit and soul of the patient to affect a complete diagnosis and treatment. Schools for natural healing teach many different self-healing therapies and massage therapies, including acupuncture, chiropractic, and even parapsychcology. Alternative healing schools also give instruction in natural remedies comprised of herbal and nutritional supplements.

Schools for natural healing often exist as stand-alone institutions, such as massage therapy colleges; however, natural healing instruction can also be found in many traditional colleges and universities, trade schools, vocational schools, and even online schools. Before enrolling in any school, it is important to be sure that it is accredited by a national accrediting agency or state approval agency that is recognized by the US Department of Education.

Language of the Art

Is there such a thing called language of the Art or Art language? We know that in the field of design, designers refer to an overarching style that guides their product design. Usually, design languages are not rigorously defined since the designer basically create a design in a similar manner as another. There are also times whereby they are followed strictly, so that the products gain a strong thematic quality.

How about Art? Is there a consistent language that an Artist can make use of during his artistic career? A style that is personalised by the artist and admired by his followers?

In truth, there is a style of artistic expression that an artist will employ during his lifetime which is very similar to that of the designer. Master artists such as Da Vinci, Wu GuanZhong commit to their art, a personal style that is the envy of many other artists.

Is there a secret to cultivating an artistic expression? The answer lies in understanding the basics of Art language. There are seven components of the language that organize and relate images on the painting which will animate and unify the various elements in the painting.

The seven Components:

1) Unity

It is the integration of the parts to achieve oneness and completeness. Unity is achieved by using contrasts and resolving contrasts by providing dominance. It can also be obtained by repetition and harmony. It is often said that ' the Whole is greater than the sum of its parts'.

2) Contrast

Contrast generates interest, be it violent or mild. The key to creating a visually exciting art work is to master the concept of contrast.

3) Balance

Often in a painting, visual forces are aplenty. What the artist should do is to balance these visual forces so that these individual forces can be read by the viewer. The most significant feature of the field is the vertical centre line.

4)Repetition

In repetition technique, an artist can repeat hues, shapes, tones, colours, texture, sizes and direction. Echoes and similarity bring the work together and establish a visual theme.

5) Harmony

Elements with similar attributes are said to be in harmony. The expert artist is able to achieve harmony by bringing together the forces of chaos and order.

6)Dominance

Superior force is the equal of Dominance. Dominance creates unity and resolves contrast. Dominance and contrast work together to create unity

7) Gradation

Gradation is the combination of harmony and contrast through a sequence of small subtle steps. It is an extremely hard technique to master.
