My reply to Ahuva18: "Just as the artist is forced back to make do with fewer colors, the writer would be forced to find other words..." This is what form poetry does. A sonnet forces you to fit words to a particular meter and rhyme scheme, and a fixed number of lines. So does a villanelle. And think of a poem where you were forbidden to use the word "the"! Or where you had to begin every line with the word "for." :)Sally Caveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821186898063415381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944516208447810948.post-45239260790548716962012-08-23T13:54:33.949-04:002012-08-23T13:54:33.949-04:00A return to the primary basic shape (in CG art and...A return to the primary basic shape (in CG art and design): the cube.

He wasn't cool though, he was just an ass.<br /><br />Ironically, my painting prof later on loved my work - and he had been a student of the original colour theory master, Josef Albers, at Cooper Union. So no, I wasn't blind after all :-D<br /><br />Thanks for curating this project, it was very cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944516208447810948.post-67560370409041167412012-08-22T12:22:32.797-04:002012-08-22T12:22:32.797-04:00I bet that would be a great exercise for writers A...I bet that would be a great exercise for writers Ahuva.

In my high school art studio class our teacher started us on a five color palette and you had to earn additional colors over time. I was astonished about how broadly I could paint using just those colors and clever enough mixing. When I picked up painting again, I got just those colors again to start with.Deoridhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235419292633778692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944516208447810948.post-20138903329418588612012-08-21T19:17:45.062-04:002012-08-21T19:17:45.062-04:00It would cost $3000 for someone to rent 20 regions...It would cost $3000 for someone to rent 20 regions for two weeks.. nothing imaginary about it. That is what was said in my post. I am not sure what it would cost to hire 9 professionals to work for years promoting the arts. I know what it cost Linden Labs and that was $0. We don't like working for free but we do it because we choose to. Would the Arts in second life be better without the 20 regions? Its debatable and the committee is not oblivious to the problems, best to ask the artists themselves. What you should do is contact the LEA with your issues to find out if there something that can be done. For example, propose the opportunity to pick first from the endowment applications if you feel Art Screamer is at a disadvantage. In fact, now that I think of it, I offered the rare opportunity of exposure for Art Screamers to be in the Santa Fe New Media Festival instead of the LEA, and it was rejected. We fought to get those regions for the artists from Linden Labs and their shareholders, they didn't just hand them to us as a gift, they have been used to support projects ranging from Education to Art.

I am not angry with you and if my comment appeared that I am, please accept my apologies.<br /><br />LEA gets free tier on 20 sims -- all the time, every day for more than year if my memory serves. The opportunity you have is well beyond this imaginary $3,000 two week window, isn't it? <br /><br />Am I angry about that? Well, kind of yes. As someone who put my personal cash into an art sim for a long time I have very mixed feelings about the gift LEA has been given. <br /><br />I promised a dear friend I would keep my feelings about the LEA to myself. A promise I have now broken so again, my apologies. If you or anyone else wants to talk about the LEA and what it means -- both good and bad - for support of the Arts in Second Life, I am happy to have that discussion in private.Chestnut Rauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414933407901259482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944516208447810948.post-25768876580686139132012-08-21T11:47:12.654-04:002012-08-21T11:47:12.654-04:00So angry Chestnut.

For something of this scale to happen normally it would cost $3000 US dollars to mount it at $300 per region for two weeks. Very few if any residents could put up that kind of money so it makes this project unlikely to ever happen except in a particular situation like this where the sims are indeed free. Please don't accuse me of imagined slights.Bryn Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649767662883786382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944516208447810948.post-81952214415189549272012-08-21T11:30:30.193-04:002012-08-21T11:30:30.193-04:00Is it really $3,000?

So, the cash comes from where? <br /><br />Claiming this installation costs $3,000 is insulting to those who actually pay real cash for tier.Chestnut Rauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414933407901259482noreply@blogger.com
