Shintaro Ohata just finished up a solo exhibition at the Yukari Art Contemprary in Tokyo, Japan. This Hiroshima, Japan-born artist is known for his ability to show us everyday life in a cinematic way. Disney Princesses In Accurate Period Costume These are very beautiful drawings! Although I am sad to see Belle looking so unlike herself. On a different note: I’d love to know what the reference was for the period costuming for each Princess. s Guide: Grades 9-12 Our Nation | Historical Documents | Branches of Government | How Laws Are Made National versus State Government | Election Process | Citizenship | Games and Activities Glossary | U.S. Government Web Sites for Kids ‘The Ungovernables - 2012 New Museum Triennial’ Librado Romero/The New York Times The Ungovernables: 2012 New Museum Triennial Danh Vo's “We the People,” copper fragments of a full-size replica of the Statue of Liberty, is featured in this triennial.

Make a Ringlet T-shirt Scarf for Fall This little ringlet scarf made out of old t-shirts is so fun for fall! There’s no sewing involved (hallelujah!), and you can make it while sitting in front of the TV in less time than it takes to watch a really good, trashy show on E.

Chan Hwee Chong Makes Spiral Illustrations with a Single Line In one of the most impressive advertising ideas I have ever seen, Singapore-based art director and designer Chan Hwee Chong uses a single long line to create spiral recreations of famous artworks.
