This was too good to not post.  Created by Alex Roman, it shows the Art of Architecture. The breath taking visuals really keep you watching all of 11minutes of the clip.

Create Your Own Artist Trading Card to celebrate the Cultural Olympiad!

The East meets the West!

The City of Mississauga, Culture Division and the Art Gallery of Mississauga are partnering with the City of Calgary to celebrate the 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

Everyone is invited to make a card.

DESIGN A CARD
Cards must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches, made of sturdy paper.
Media can be: pencil, paint, pastels, fabric, collage, etc.
Suggested Themes: Sportsmanship, Friendship, My Canada
Sign the back of the card and include your city name.

For more info go to Bridget MacIntosh’s face book link

This is a program that one of my colleagues is doing in Mississauga.
It is NOT affiliated with the “official” Cultural Olympiad in B.C.

I am totally doing this, i hope you guys find some time to try this out cause i’m gonna make some time for it ^^

Now that Toronto has won its bid to host the Pan Am Games in 2015, it’s time for the city’s arts leaders to seize a rare opportunity. Athletics may be at its core, but this event can be about much more. It can be the occasion for a cultural explosion.

I just found this video to be really interesting and pretty inspiring.  Just seeing his little methods here and there was enough to throw me back to my big piece works.  I think i miss them lol.  His mixture of Paint and Spray paint is particularly cool cause as you will see he’ll occasionally over spray it and pick up some of the paint with the bottom of his can and throw it back on to splatter.  Very interesting stuff, if you haven’t noticed his Writer name is SHEONE ^^

I honestly didn’t think i would be touched by this short but I really really liked it.  The music really got me to the emotion it was trying to deliver.  The cuts we’re pretty good that it sold me the idea enough that the cart was moving.  The way he did it was kind of a leap of faith getting the audience to go with the idea.  But i really liked the parts with the back alley and there’s like ruined carts there lol with the beer haha.  Check it out it made me smile ^^

Okay I used to watch this when i was a kid and couldn’t follow the time it comes on.  It was such a great show giving you the behind the scenes of FX artists at work.  This is probably one of the good ones being that its about “Bigatures”.  I hope you guys like this video, i definately do!
