What nature is?

Dedicated to an Austrian princess! Should we talk philosophy? Sure, why not? I have few subjects, I will like to discuss by approaching them from a philosophical perspective...

What Nature is?
Also called the material world, the material universe, the natural world, and the natural universe... is all matter and energy Energy, especially in its essential form. Nature is the subject of scientific study. In scale, "nature" includes everything from the universal to the subatomic. This includes all things animal, plant, and mineral all natural resources and events (hurricanes , tornadoes, earthquakes) It also includes the behaviour of living animals and processes associated with inanimate objects

I would like to share some quotes about nature:

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Anne Frank:

The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration
Claude Monet:

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

What Digital Art is?

Today, I was chatting with a nice young lady, I just met. Out of curiosity " What Digital Art is?" She said, I shared my definition. This is the result of this interesting meeting, then, I said to myself, Wow! What a "brilliant idea" for entry blog. Many may be intersting on learning a bit more about Digital Art. This is an interesting subject, besides I'm familiar with it, Why not post an entry to discuss What Digital Art is? This is the general definition I found online:
What Digital Art is?
Branch of the electronic arts that takes place or it is assisted by digital means, like digital painting, digital or digitized photography, modeling, digital video, animation, interactive programs and web pages

Wormholes unlikely to allow time travel

I'm fascinated with Black Holes. they do real exist on my world.
The idea of the existence of Wormholes it is fascinating, I hope they do exist. It will be awesome to learn more about them.
Researchers are saying, the idea of using Wormholes to travel from one place in the galaxy to another, It is a star trek idea whose time may never come. I truly hope so these guys are wrong.


I put much attention to professor Hawking latest news. On this article he is making news; "Wormholes unlikely to allow time travel".

. I found a very interesting a definition of what wormhole is Wormholes:

A wormhole is a pathway from one part of space and time to another more distant location. You might think of it as a shortcut through space that saves you from having to travel the normal distance between two points.

A worm hole is a mathematical solution to Einstein's relativistic equation for gravity in which two parts of space-time may be joined together. Unlike black holes, they have no singularities at least in the 'vacuum solution', but certain rotating 'Kerr-Nordstrom' black holes may serve the same worm hole-like function.

Many science fiction authors like to use them to allow spacecraft to travel quickly from place to place in our universe. But all of these ideas are based on 'pure math' descriptions of how they might work, and as you know, nature is often much messier than any idealistic, abstract rendering of it. There are no perfectly straight lines in the universe, and there are not likely to be wormholes either.
Here is another definition of wormholes this one make more sense to me. I really hope wormholes exist.
Wwesome!


Warmholes! (by Andrew Trapp)


Wormholes are essentially gateways between different parts of the universe and are made by linking a pair of black holes.According to this definitions it probable they exist

These astronomical phenomenon are awesome!

History of Modern painting in New York City

I would try to give a brief introduction to the history of Modern painting in New York.
For more than two centuries, artist have captured New York's harbors,skylines,festivities streets scenes, and buildings in paintings that shed brilliant light on aspects of the city's history.
In 1804 New York was a prosperous little city of about seventy thousand people. It extended two miles north from the battery to Houston Street.

In 1930, at age eighteen, Pollock moved from Los Angeles to New York City, settling in Greenwich Village. He immediately enrolled at the Art Students League, where he studied drawing and painting for five semesters with the American Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton, who soon became his mentor and friend.

In 1936 Pollock joined the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros's Experimental Workshop, in New York, where he became aware of unorthodox mediums and techniques that he later adapted in his large drip paintings. In the late 1930s Pollock worked for the Easel Division of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration.

By bringing together emerging artists from Mexico City and New York City, the series of show "Cambio," curated by Kenny Schachter, introduced the work of several artists into new contexts. For those of us in New York, the artists from Mexico City

Fortunately for them, New York has had an ongoing fascination with Mexican art since the late 1920s. While artists should be aware that the interest in contemporary Mexican art

Black Holes do not exist???

Acording to an article poeted it on the first weekend of April an article Black Scientists are saying. Holes do not exist??
Scientists from California are challenging Stephen Hawking theory of the existence of Black Holes. My personal opinion is: Yes, Black Holes exist and they're very real they may sound like Science fiction 'cause of its fenmenal existence. Here is the statement rom this article:Black holes are staples of science fiction and many think astronomers have observed them indirectly. But according to a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, these awesome breaches in space-time do not and indeed can not exist. Read
Black Holes do not exist


blackhole_impression

J. McClintock, the author of this article, does not buy this reasoning. Among the observations that hint at the reality of black holes are the X-ray binaries. In a typical X-ray binary, prodigious, flickering fluxes of X-rays reveal the presence of an ultradense star and an orbiting companion. The rapid orbital motion of the companion star tells us that the central X-ray star has a mass of more than three suns. General Relativity assures us that such a star can only collapse further to form a black hole. Therefore, black holes must exist.


Xbinarymed


Xray_binary


Do, Black Hole exist
Yes. You can't see a black hole directly, of course, since light can't get past the horizon. That means that we have to rely on indirect evidence that black holes exist.

Suppose you have found a region of space where you think there might be a black hole. How can you check whether there is one or not? The first thing you'd like to do is measure how much mass there is in that region. If you've found a large mass concentrated in a small volume, and if the mass is dark, then it's a good guess that there's a black hole there. There are two kinds of systems in which astronomers have found such compact, massive, dark objects: the centers of galaxies (including perhaps our own Milky Way Galaxy), and X-ray-emitting binary systems in our own Galaxy.

Ancient and Medieval Architecture



Architecture is the art of building. Sometimes people build small buildings like sheds or their own houses. Other times people build very large buildings. These are sometimes temples or churches for the gods, or tombs for important kings or heroes, or palaces for kings and queens, or public buildings like theaters or sports stadiums.


ancient housing

temple
The first houses were built around 7000 BC in West Asia, but the first big buildings were built much later, around 3000 BC. In West Asia the first big buildings were the ziggurats, and in Africa, in Egypt they were the Pyramids.

Pyramids


A little later on, about 1800 BC, both the Egyptians and the Babylonians began to build big royal palaces, richly decorated. Soon the people of Crete and Greece began to imitate these palaces for their own kings and queens. In Egypt, the Pharaohs also built big temples for their gods.

Is interior design for you?

Interior designers need to be creative, imaginative and artistic. They also need to be disciplined, organized and skilled business people. Combining aesthetic vision with practical skills and knowledge, interior designers work with clients to develop design solutions that are "aesthetically appealing, technically sophisticated and pragmatically satisfying"


Livingroom

DiningRoom

Areas of Design Specialization

Designers work in a wide range of settings, both commercial and residential. Surveys indicate that a majority of designers practice at least part of the time in both the residential and commercial areas, although they tend to favor one or the other. Because commercial designers must be knowledgeable about their clients' business needs, most concentrate within design specialties, such as designing for the hospitality or health care industries. Some restrict themselves to particular subspecialties, for example, designing restaurants or residential kitchens and baths. A few work in highly specialized fields, like designing interiors for airplanes or yachts, or doing historic conservation or restoration.

Residencial

Comercial


Skills for Success

As members of a service profession, interior designers' fortunes depend on their ability to satisfy clients. Thus, they must possess three important skill sets-artistic and technical skills, interpersonal skills and management skills

* Designers must know how to plan a space and how to render that plan visually, so that it can be conveyed to the client.
* Designers must be comfortable meeting and dealing with many kinds of people. They must communicate clearly and effectively, as well as be attentive listeners
* Designers must have excellent time and project management skills, since they frequently work on more than one project at a time, under demanding deadlines, while looking for new projects or clients.
* Designers must be able to develop and execute business plans in order to protect and grow their practices. They need to know

What is a Black Hole?

What is a Black Hole and can I see one in the sky? You may see one on the sky if you've Xray vision. No, you can't see one in the sky. Black Hole is the
result of the death of a star several times the mass of our sun.
The center of the star collapses and suddenly releases a tremendous
amount of energy. This release of energy causes the outer part of
the star to be blown into space in what is called a supernova explosion..
This explosions release so much energy that a supernova in a distance
galaxy can out shine the billions of star in the galaxy .

Stellar- Black Hole

Chandra Black Hole

The very center of the star collapses into what can only be described
as something smaller than a point with no dimensions. A region called
an event surrounds this dimensionless singularity. The singularity diesters
the space around it so much that anything that falls into the black hole's
events horizon because the escape velocity is greater than the 186,000 miles
per second speed of light. Since the speed of light is the fastest speed than
anything can travel, not even light can escape a black hole. That's why a
black hole is black.

as a career


Why red makes people hungry?. Interior designers make a room. They transform it with color, furniture placement, accessories — and generally work their magic. They are also specialists in combining form and function. Restaurants can be designed to be austere and upscale or regal and formal. Beautiful upholstered chairs here. A wall of red to enhance the appetite and create visual interest there.

Interior Design...

Interior design is
the art or practice of planning and supervising the design and execution of architectural interiors and their furnishings as well I can say in a simple another simple way:planning and design of man-made spaces, a part of environmental design and closely related to architecture.
What is interior design?
the total creative solution for a programmed interior. It encompasses the conceptual planning aesthetic and technical solutions applied to achieve the desired result. A "programmed interior" means intended purpose or use of the built environment.

Think"Modular" Modulares are best for people who live in condos and other places where space might be an issue, a modular piece will. Instead of wasting a corner space, it can tie elements together and give you that extra space you need storage feature and stablishing a focal point for the room, are two ways to make the most of a small living space"plce saving"


Thek house House boat, Designer Louis Shuster, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bought a fifteen year old houseboat "in a deplorable condition" over a year ago and decided to convert it into studios and offices for their practice on the lower level, with a home for Shuster on the upper level. The result is a unique composite of the firm's office, domestic and nautical design skills.

Many factors come to play in formulating the design solotion. There is space itself-its dimentions and construction-with its potential and its limitations, There is how the space will be used -for work or leisure, entertainment or worship, healing or learning. Therre is the meraning of space, what it signifies-be it power, authority, security, windom, access, amount of light acoustics, seating and places to store or set things down . There are health and safety considerations, attention to special needs and more.

Modern Art:(Paul Cezanne)

Some call him the father of Modern Art. After fifty years of the most radical change in art from images to free abstraction, Cezanne's paintings, wich looks old-fasioned today in its attachments to nuture,mantains itself fresh and stimulating to young painters of our time. He has produced no school, buthe has given and impulse directly or indirectly to almost every new movement since he died. His power to excite artist of different tendency and temperanment os due, I think, to the fact that he realized with equal fullness so many different size of his art.It has often been true leading modern painters that they developed a single idea with great force.

Cezanne

Riverbanks
May I repeat what I have told you here:
treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air."

Abstract-Expressionism

Abstract Expressionism: Centered in New York from 1946 through the 1960's, is a form of art in which the artist expresses himself purely through the use of form and color. However great a disaster World War II was, at least something important happened. In leaving Europe for the safety of the USA, artists such as: Piet Mondrian, Max Ernst, greatly extended their artistic influence.

Piet Mondrian

Max Ernst
In the 1940s and 50s, for the first time, American artists became internationally important with their new vision and new artistic vocabulary known as Abstract Expressionism.
Now considered to be the first American artistic movement of world wide importance, this movement put New York in the forefront, replacing Paris as the center of the art world. The term was originally used to describe the work of Archille Gorky and Jackson Pollock.


Gorky

Pollock

The painters who came to be called"Abstract Expressionists" shared a similarity of outlook rather than style--an outlook characterized by a spirit of revolt and a belief in freedom of expression. The main exponents of the genre were Pollock, De Kooning, and Rothko, but other artists include Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Newman and Still. The Term Abstract Expressionism was first used by Robert Coates in the March issue of The New Yorker in 1936. The movement was hugely successful, partly due to the efforts of the critics Harold Rosenberg and Clement Greenberg, who also originated the terms Action Painting and American Style.
