10 hands, a blond chick and a guitar

I suppose many of us have seen music covers from individual singers. It is slightly rarer to see it done by a band, or a group.

For today, I will present you this particular group who did something unique that it stands out from the rest.

Instead of having every group members to take charge of a role, they share among only a guitar instead.

Yes, you heard that right! Only one guitar.

It is amazing how they managed to pull off a great music cover of Gotye's Somebody I used to know while using only an instrument. This cover is definitely worth checking it out!

Art in a Cafe

Orange Thimble - Art Cafe

Orange Timble is an art cafe located at Tiong Bahru. Tiong Bahru is a place, in Singapore, reserved to promote arts and culture. The Orange Thimble is one example of how they create a space for creativity from passion and espressos. It is a cafe run by the people who grew up in Tiong Bahru, who supports the creative community.

Right now, The Orange Thimble is exhibiting the unique perspective of Tiong Bahru by Colin Chow. I've been to the cafe and it really brings forth each unique theme in different segments of the cafe. I'm also impressed on the way they present their food, and how they combine art and food.

It is located at Eng Hoon Street, Tiong Bahru, Singapore. There are many other eateries in that area, so go and check them out!:)

Salvador Dali and Surrealism

Surrealism

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was an artist well known for his surrealism.

These are some paintings done by Salvador Dali. I thought his pieces are rather interesting from the surrealism involved in it.

"The Persistence of Memory" has a mountain at the background from Dali's hometown. it can be also found in his other pieces due to his love or his hometown. The foreground shows several soft clocks that appears to be melted. This is an example of surrealism to show the irrelevance of time.

"The Three Sphinxes of Bikini" was inspired by the experimental explosions on the atoll of Bikini and also the bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two human heads and a tree become a hallucinatory illusion of the mushroom cloud created by the nuclear explosion.

This "sleep" was painted for Dali's patron, Edward James, a British millionaire. The disembodied head lies in slumber against the plain blue sky and an empty space. The face also appears soft, vulnerable and distorted. the features of the face are all supported by crutches to suggest that if they were t be removed, the face will disintegrate.

Salvador Dali was my artist reference for my O Level Art examinations, i am greatly inspired by the way he uses surrealism to bring forth messages. To find more information on the types of art,

Paintings of Sandro Botticelli

Hey! Here are more paintings! This time, it's Sandro Botticelli!
Here are some paintings by him:







Sandro Botticelli was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentine school under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement that Giorgio Vasari would characterize less than a hundred years later as a "golden age", a thought, suitably enough. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting. Among his best known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

Melted Crayon Art

Hi everybody, today i am going to show you how to make melted Crayon Art.

Step1
Lay your supplies down: a canvas (your choice of size), crayons (your choice depending on the size of the canvas), a hot glue gun, and a hair/blow dryer. You probably want to lay an old t-shirt or blanket under the canvas.

Step 2
Sort the crayons out. You should do this depending on what you want. Many people want a rainbow, so they do it in order of the rainbow. Some people do lightest to darkest.













Step 3
Hot glue each crayon in order on the top of your canvas. Some people keep the wrappers on and some take them off, it's all up to you!

Step 4
Slant the canvas so that the wax will drip (a common idea is to lean it against a wall).

Step 5
Use your blow dryer and blow the crayons. You usually want to point the blow dryer downwards so that the wax will drip. Take note that this will get messy. However, it doesn't really matter how messy it gets as long as your newspapers are laid out correctly.

Step 6 
When done, sit it out and let it dry!

You are done in just 6 step. :)

These are some of Masaccio's Paintings. Masaccio, born in 1401, died in 1428. Perhaps one of the most influential artists of the Renaissance. Historians claim that he, along with Donatello and Brunelleschi, inspired the style of art that typifies are of the period. In his 27 years on the planet, he developed a style that used perspective in a way that created an illusion of three-dimensions--a significant change from the flat style of painting that typified medieval art. His most famous work can be found in the Brancacci Chapel in Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence.
