Public art advisory committee pushing for increased budget in Iowa City
ReplyDeletePreviously, in the 90's, the funds for public art in Iowa City was around 100,000 dollars. Currently, that number is 25,000 dollars. Public are is the murals around the downtown parts of the city, that multiple artists paint. The public art advisory committee is attempting to change that, and it seems to be fairly easy. All the committee needs to do is set a specific plan, with detailed information on how the money is going to be used. In March or April, the committee predicts they will be ready to present their plan, and get the money they truly need.

Dazzling fireboat drops artwork in New York.
ReplyDeleteTauba Auerbach gave retired New York fire boat John J Harvy a kaleidoscope paint job that was inspired by World War 1 camouflage and the movement of water. The artist takes cues from the work of Norman Wilkinson who pioneered the camouflage technique during World War 1, by painting battle ships with eye straining patterns and colors to throw off the enemies and prevent them from tracking the ships course, speed, and distance.

There are several new architectural advancements. Revit is a new and popular thing that architects enjoy using for models of their buildings. Many architects prefer 2D drawings over 3D drawings. That's surprising because 3D drawings show the whole entire model, instead of just one view. Rhino3D and Sketchup are also other tools architects may use.

Erica Cole is finding a new way to decorate a tragedy in her life. Last May she lost one of her legs in a car accident. Her insurance would only pay for a basic prosthetic leg. She got the idea to make something to cover the leg. She is not designing and constructing stain glass to go over. She gets complements everywhere she goes about her style and boldness. She is now sharing her ideas with others to help them feel comfortable with their new look.
