In addition, do you think that beacuse someone knows how to draw (make pictures with a pencil, etc.), that it makes their work ART? Is it the skill involved in doing something that is the ART or is it what is expressed through the skill. Example: Norman Rockwell was a skilled painter, yet expressed nothing. And I am talking of all the arts: film making, music, painting, literature, poetry... etc.
Norman Rockwell did express something... he expressed that he lived in a fantasy world. To me, any real art begins in the world of reality. Total fantasy is not art.



Answer
Each piece of art can have a different effect on each person.

Generally people look for a composition that either reminds them of something or is something they aspire.

Yes, drawings are art and despite your opinion, Rockwell was popular because he hit a note with the viewers - a glimpse into a simpler time era.

We run galleries every few months and the pieces that sell the most are the ones that are usually the most artistically done. People can see when an artist has hit the nail on the head, so to speak.

In summary, composition is the key, but a well drawn or painted piece is what usually sells best.

How to install large wall mirrors for home gym?




Irishgirl


I have been wanted to get some large wall mirrors because im trying to turn our second bedroom into a gym.anyway i wasnt sure what the correct way was on hanging them up.i live in an apartment so i dont want to be doing anything that damages the walls.i heard that you are suppose to use this liquid nail stuff but im not really sure what that is but it sounds like it would damage the walls,lol. thanks!


Answer
Liquid Nails will work, but it certainly will damage the walls when you remove the mirrors. Any glue or cement that you use will adhere to the drywall of the wall and ruin the wall. I recommend that you buy some picture or mirror hangers that are specifically designed for your purpose. The hangers are nailed or screwed into the drywall, but the small holes will be easily repaired when you take the mirrors down. Often a little spackle or tooth paste in the holes is all that is necessary to make the wall as good as new. I suggest that you go down to your local Home Center or Hardware store and talk to the guys down there. Tell them what you plan to do, how many mirrors you plan to hang, and approximately how much they weigh. Art supply houses and picture galleries can also provide a lot of valuable advice. Good Luck
