You can carry your art with you. In my recent drawing class, I was introduced to Moo Cards. These cards are easy ways to show off your portfolio – like your drawings.
If you don’t have a portfolio you want to show off, you can always purchase art to take with you thanks to Art-o-Mats.
If you know me at all, you know my answer is a resounding Yes!
It’s interesting that this connection, between the language one speaks and how one views the world, is being drawn more frequently. This recent NY Times Article highlights more of the work being done in the field, as I pointed out in an earlier post.
If the language one speaks affects how you view the world, isn’t it natural to conclude that the words used in your thoughts (whatever your language), affects how you are in the world? Buddhism, Don Miguel Ruiz and Byron Katie, to name a few, have been expounding this conclusion for years. Is science only now catching up?
Did you know there’s a book on The Pencil? Yep. It’s called The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance
It’s 400 pages. I haven’t read it but learned about it in my recent drawing class. The Pencil has a rich history. The numbering of Pencils alone is complicated and a bit archaic. Pencils are made with 2 pieces of wood each with a groove cut down its center, then graphite is inserted. The two slabs are glued together and the corners slopped off to create a hexagon. The mixture of clay to graphite determines the softness of the pencil. A number 6 pencil has more graphite to clay and is softer. H stands for hard and B stands for black. On the H side of pencils the numbers get higher the more clay they have. H pencils are usually used by architects or those who require fine detail and fussier lines.
