Art Theory
Being creative and realizing our talents involves a lot of self-awareness and respecting who we really are, including our unconscious depths. In an interview about her film “Flightplan,” Jodie Foster commented, “When you’re a dramatic actor you look for films that hit you in the gut, in this unconscious place that really moves you, and then you can’t help but make the movie because it’s something that you fear and you want to know more about it.” She added, “I think that every film that I do, even though it might not relate to me autobiographically, has some very personal pull in there and there are questions that I ask myself that I can’t really resolve any other way.”

I’ve seen a lot of designers take on a daily project of some sort lately. I think it’s a great idea — something to keep your creativity flowing, especially during downtime. And I’ve particularly enjoyed watching the progress Mark Weaver has made with his Make Something Cool Every Day project. I’m not sure what the thinking behind these pieces are, but I’m really drawn to his layering of photography, illustration, color and type. You can see everything he’s completed so far on Flickr or Bēhance .

Character (arts)
A character is a person in a narrative work of arts (such as a novel , play , television show/series, or film ). [ 1 ] Derived from the ancient Greek word kharaktêr , the English word dates from the Restoration , [ 2 ] although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] From this, the sense of "a part played by an actor " developed. [ 4 ] Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves "the illusion of being a human person." [ 5 ] In literature, characters guide readers through their stories, helping them to understand plots and ponder themes. [ 6 ] Since the end of the 18th century, the phrase "in character" has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor. [ 4 ] Since the 19th century, the art of creating characters, as practised by actors or writers, has been called characterisation . [ 4 ]
