The Adirondack Guide. Piece of art.


Name:The Adirondack Guide
Winslow Homer, 1894
Sheet: 38.5 x 54.6 cm (15 3/16 x 21 1/2 in.)
Medium:Watercolor over graphite pencil on paper
Country origin: USA
Current locations: Museum of fine arts, Boston
 
Homer Winslow was one of most important artist in USA at XIX century. He founded american school of arts which was opposite to European school. Majority of his works were painted by watercolor and gouache, he prefered draw an marine, so we is famous as marinist. I chosen this picture because my love to sea,which was inculcate my mother,artist also. Here I see calmness and power of water surface and wisdom of old fishman. Who exists onthe center of the picture. The artist wanted to concentrate viewer's attention at him, show him as the main figure here. The picture was pinted in 1894 it was the second period in creative artist's life. In this period he draw his works in dark and quite grim colors because of his mother's death in 1984 and moving whith his father from New York to Maine. I wouldn't call this picture harsh or murky, in my opinion here is more of quiet,seriosness and realistic.

James wasn't popular child in his school because he was always reading science fiction books and was living in himself world being a science geek.Hardly I could have such friend in school.
60s was the time when every person could develop his creativity so it influenced a lot Cameron.
I think my time is giving us opportunity to make ourself more versatile. There is no bans to human creation, so you can do that you love to do.
Cameron thinks that imagination make the best landscapes.
Reffering to Cameron's love to diving. According to his words deep ocean enviroment is full of amazing life, so it touched him very much. He didn't expect to see so beautiful and different world which was created by rich imagination of nature. He takes inspiration from this strange and magnificent world. And drawing helps him in expressing emoutions from seen ocean's miracles. That's why they were and they are his main activities.
Unfortunatelly, I haven't seen Abyss by James Cameron. But I have watched Terminator 2 which has a lot of animation and digital prodaction. Frankly speaking it wasn't impressed me a lot because I wasn't interested in such effect in my childhood probably because I can't imaginate that making such colorful film takes so much forces and time.
When Cameron speaks about two films: Titanic and Avatar you can notice that he use more emotionally colored words when he talk about explotion of Titanic. It was impressed him so much that he leaves director job and began to explore the ocean.So that's why I suppose that he likes to explore more then to imagine. Although he has success in both kinds of activity. I can't exactly tell what I like better of the two films. I like Titanic for realistic feelings and knowing that it objectively was and I like Avatar because amazing effects and originality of he idea. They both are uniqe films.
Lessons which Cameron has thanks to his job:
1)Curiosity is your main power; 
2)Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality;
3)Respect ofyour team is more important than all the laurels in the world;
4)Don't put limitations on yourself.

Thank you a lot. I hope that others lessons will be as enjoyable as we had earler.

Запрос на защиту Австралийских коал.

Численность коал в диком мире до сих пор не известна точно,однако защитники животных утверждают,что ими было насчитано около 100,000 особей. Исследователи предполагают,что популяция этих животный постоянно уменьшается в связи с воздействием внешних факторов. Вызывающих различные болезни,такие как слепота и репродуктивные проблемы. Вырубка лесов,стройка и кладка дорог так же разрушают и их естественную среду обитания.
Правительство Австралии выдвинуло предложение занести коал в списки вымирающих животных. Это поможет правительству защищать этих пушистых сумчатых животных от цивилизации.
Министр Тони Бурк отправил запрос группе специалистов в этой области на получение подробной информации о наиболее опасных зонах в среде обитания коал. Он планирует решить этот вопрос в течении нескольких месяцев.

Попкорн старше любого кинотеатра.

Новые исследования ученых показали,что попкорн присутствовал в рационе людей,живших на побережье северного Перу, еще на 1.000 лет раньше,чем считалось раньше. Исследователи сообщают,что древние жители использовали кукурузу для приготовления муки и попкорна.
Подробности:
Маиз был первым культурным растением,выведенным в Мексике из других диких растений около 9.000 лет назад.
Популярность этого растения дошла и до Северной Америки, где до сих пор оно используется в повседневном рационе.
Находка зерен этого растения,обнаруженных на побережье Северного Перу,доказала что это растение имело большую популярность около 6.700 тысяч лет,в этих местах.
Позже стало известно,что древние жители делали из зерен этого растения не только попкорн,но и муку.
Это значит,что на некоторых территориях люди делали попкорн не имея какой либо глиняной посуды.Так как же они делали это,не имея достаточного количество посуды?Вот что до сих пор не известно!
Ясно одно,попкорн был изобретен задолго до появления кинотеатров!
