ArtPad. 11 Artists Working In Unusual Media. The Arts Art can be found in anything depending how you perceive it. Artists have explored their creative sides to share their visions since prehistoric men painted on cave walls with berries. Many modern artists have produced some incredible pieces using atypical and unusual media and presented here is just a small sampling of some of their works. I encourage everyone to explore further as there are more to be found. Perhaps nothing is more subjective than art so the list is in no particular order. Artist’s Medium: tires.

The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts.
The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve just a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations. Science informs us that this is mere fiction and that man is a few million years old, and that civilization just tens of thousands of years old. Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories? There is a great deal of archeological evidence that the history of life on earth might be far different than what current geological and anthropological texts tell us. Consider these astonishing finds: The Grooved Spheres Over the last few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal spheres.

Auschwitz survivor Albert Veissid does not know who put his name on a list that remained hidden inside a bottle for more than 60 years. Builders working near the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp found the bottle recently. It had been left in a cement wall by inmates.
"I'm surprised by all of this," the 84-year-old told BBC News from his home in a village in the south of France. The note bears Mr Veissid's name along with those of six Polish prisoners. Mr Veissid, a French Jew, was arrested by French police in Lyon in August 1943 and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where Nazi Germany murdered more than one million people, most of them Jews. Since Monday, Polish and French journalists have contacted Mr Veissid, wanting to hear his story. He only learnt about the message in a bottle when his grand-daughter told him what builders had found at the site in southern Poland. The bottle had been left in the cement of a bunker near the Auschwitz camp. 'Very lucky' Visits to Auschwitz.
