Paralelos Gnósticos en los Escritos de  Carlos Castañeda por John Lash del sitio Web MetaHistory traducción de Adela Kaufmann Versión original Los once libros de Carlos Castañeda registran su aprendizaje con un indio yaqui, don Juan Matus , quien interpreta para el escéptico antropólogo de Castañeda, el socrático mentor. Durante más de veinte años, Castañeda aprendió la teoría y la práctica de una nueva disciplina propuesta por su travieso y exigente maestro. El arte de los "nuevos videntes" implica la revisión de antiguos secretos de la brujería tolteca transmitida a Don Juan a través de un linaje que data de finales del siglo 18. "Brujería" en este caso significa un camino de experiencia que se distingue y está muy por fuera de los hábitos de la experiencia de la humanidad (en francés “sortir”, salir, partir). A través de un largo proceso de ensayo y error, Castañeda se las arregla para alterar los parámetros de la percepción y explorar otros mundos. De acuerdo con Don Juan, los brujos del México antiguo llamaban el depredador, el volador,

DRAWING GRASS (Negative Drawing techniques)at MIKE SIBLEY FINE ART What do you see when you look at this picture on the right? Do you see an ancient black drinking cup? Maybe an ebony candlestick holder? These are the positive images. Or do you see two white faces both looking at each other? You can of course draw grass in any way you choose from "sketchy" (which serves its purpose here as this drawing is just 1½" high and the grass exists only to place the tractor in space)... ...to where it plays a full role as an integral part of the "reality" of the drawing. It confuses the rational element that tries to control the creative side. "The coconut shy principle" Pick up a ball, quickly turn around and throw it at a target the instant you see it. "The parking principle" Try slowly and carefully reversing a car into a tight parking space and you will often fail. DASH & REHASH v SLOW 'N STEADY I have two basic ways of working - both equally justifiable - "dash and rehash" and "slow 'n steady". Working quickly, more strokes have been added... ...and more...

Shading Techniques With Pencil | How To Draw... Pencil Portraits Once you have mastered the basic pencil drawing techniques from the last tutorial, these can then be used to create different shading techniques within pencil drawings. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating different shades and a shading guide in which you will be able to refer to throughout this tutorial. A shading guide when learning to draw is a useful tool to have, as you will be able to assess which shade is appropriate for different parts of the pencil portrait before executing it. In time, as you become more familiar with the different shades you can create, you will be able to ditch the shading guide and execute shading as though it is completely natural to you. When you were back at the process of choosing your art supplies, you would have made a decision on whether to purchase a set of drawing pencils in different grades, or just one single pencil in a versatile grade. Again, this is a personal preference, and different people prefer different things. 1.) .)

Fernando Contreras: el peor gato callejero | Fernando Contreras: el peor gato callejero San José no existe. Toda ciudad es imaginada y a San José le faltan asideros donde sostener los recuerdos, donde anclar el imaginario, le faltan ciudadanos para ser ciudad y le sobran leyes prohibitivas y gorilas con macana. Desde aquí, hasta el punto final, todo es variaciones sobre el mismo tema, como un disco de jazz cargado de improvisaciones. Por: Randall Zúñiga, periodista | Fotografías: Osvaldo Quesada y Jeaninne Cordero Un sexteto de jazz conformado por gatos adopta a un niño ciego abandonado, le enseña a entender la ciudad (sus olores, sus sonidos), lo guía por el laberíntico Mercado Central, le enseña a cazar. “La ciudad deja de ser ciudad para convertirse en lugar de paso, destinada prácticamente a automóviles y transporte público de gente produciendo para el sistema. La mirada de Fernando Contreras Castro es directa, confrontativa. Entre una treintena de estudiantes, sindicalistas y asegurados, resultó preso un vendedor ambulante.

How to Draw 3D Shapes with Shading Home » How to Draw 3D Shapes » with Shading In this lesson we will cover how you can draw 3D shapes with shading. It is all about pressing the pencil down on the paper with different strength, so that the color is stronger or lighter. If you spread these different values correctly, you get an awesome 3D effect. Shading is time consuming. I needed about 8 Minutes for each of the shapes above. We are going to take a look at three basic geometric figures: The cylinder, the cone and the sphere. How to move the pencil So the goal of shading is to spread different values of color smoothly across the paper, going from dark to light or vice versa. The easiest way to do this is to move the pencil in a zigzag fashion. Different Pencils What sort of pencil you use is very important here! The mines in pencils have different degrees of hardness.This is indicated with letters on the pencils. 5H: Although I pressed the pencil down violently at the left side, you still only see a very slight darker tone. 0.
