I Love Colors - Eu Amo Cores

By Babel Franco

By Paulo Martins

By Oscar Montoya

Eu amo todas as cores, eu simplesmente amo cores elas me fascinam....

Color or colour is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, blue, black, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the ligh receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.

The science of color is sometimes called chromatics. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (that is, what we commonly refer to simply as Light).

Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Much has been studied and written about color and its impact on our daily lives.
Many people believe that colors are powers, and that colored stones are especially powerful. Here are some of the meanings of colors and the energies contained in their corresponding stones.

Brazilian Folklore

Traditional celebrations and Brazilian Folklore are among the richest and most expressive of the world, appearing in songs, legends, dances, beliefs, and literature. The mixture of Indigenous, Negro, and Caucasian races forms the Brazilian Nation, creating an intense diversity in folkloric events all over the country.

The numerous traditions in Brazilian Folklore are so numerous that they sometimes interfere with the day to day life of the population. The phases of the moon, for example, determine when to plant and when to sow. Some folkloric traditions of Brazil spill out over the borders, drawing a large number of tourists from all over the world to visit.

Sand Sculpture - Brazil

Lommel

Lommel

China Style

Known as a modern art for only 20 years, sand sculpting is a popular and recreational art capable of drawing widespread attention from the public. Sand sculptures can create new tourist programmes wherever they go, bringing in considerable commercial profits. From this point of view, the art is the result of the perfect combination of modern art and modern commerce and is closely linked with tourism. For the last 20 years, this symbiosis has greatly promoted the development of sand sculptures around the world.

The two basic building ingredients, sand and water, are available in abundance on a sandy beach, so most sand play takes place there, or in a sandpit. The sand must be reasonably fine, otherwise the grains will not stick together. Dry sand is loose, wet sand adherent, except when it is too wet. Sand sculpting as an art form has become very popular in recent years. Hundreds of annual competitions are held all over the world. Techniques can be quite sophisticated, with record-breaking achievements recorded in the Guinness World Records. Sometimes contests are staged as advertising or promotional events.

1.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2.He was with God in the beginning.
3.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
10.He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
12.Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

John 1:1-3, 10, 12

1. No principio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o verbo era Deus. 2. Ele estava no principio com Deus. 3. Todas as coisas foram feitas por intermedio dele, e, sem ele, nada do que foi feito se fez. 10. O Verbo estava no mundo, o mundo foi feito por intermedio dele, mas o mundo nao o conheceu. 12. E o Verbo se fez carne e habitou entre nos, cheio de graca e de verdade, e vimos a sua gloria como do unigenito do Pai.

I Am A Narrator

A narrator is an entity within a story that tells the story to the reader. It is one of three entities responsible for story-telling of any kind. The others are the author and the reader (or audience). The author and the reader both inhabit the real world. It is the author's function to create the alternate world, people, and events within the story. It is the reader's function to understand and interpret the story. The narrator exists within the world of the story (and only there—although in non-fiction the narrator and the author can share the same persona, since the real world and the world of the story are the same) and presents it in a way the reader can comprehend.A narrator tells the story from their point of view.Story telling is an old art that has followed humanity since the construction of verbal languages. However, the act of story telling has lost its’ meaning and importance in today’s society. It is almost completely lost in daily life. The loss of the narrator figure brings the loss of much history and many memories. In the fields of art and education, the practice of story telling must be revived. This lost art helps us to remember the past and project the future.

A contacao de historias perdeu o seu significado e a sua importancia. Posso dizer que e uma perda muito grande na historia da humanidade, a perda da memoria. Quem ja nao vivenciou momentos de "contacao de historias? Em uma roda de amigos ou com a familia? Eu me lembro ate hoje as historias que a minha tia Concheta nos contava quando eramos criancas, chegava a dar medo uhh eram historias de lobisomem, saci, mula sem cabeca e por ai vai... o que eu quero dizer e que temos que reavivar esse habito que muito nos acrescenta e como se fosse uma identidade do que somos.

The Importance Of Art

Victor Meireles de Lima1832-1903



To some people art is very important, to others it is nothing. To most, it is nice, but fades besides the everyday problems of physical survival, housing, food, money, children, etc.
The fact is it is an observable fact that art makes people happier.
Always among the highest expression of every culture, the arts teach us much about every historical period through its literature, visual arts, music, dance, and drama. Art tells the stories of the past and present, and inspires minds, both young and old, to do beautiful things. Today it is recognized that to be truly well educated one must not only learn to appreciate the arts, but must have rich opportunities to actively participate in creative work. The arts are languages that most people speak, cutting through individual differences in culture, educational background, and ability. They can bring every subject to life and turn abstractions into concrete reality. Learning through the arts often results in greater academic achievement and higher test scores.
I belive that we can change many things through the art and I will not give up.

Arts and Crafts

Artesanato de Olinda - Alto da Sé, Cidade Alta, Olinda, Pernambuco, Brasil. Picture: Nellyann Carneiro de Assis

Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's own hands and skill. These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or "traditional crafts" (doing things the old way) and "the rest". Some crafts have been practised for centuries, while others are modern inventions, or popularisations of crafts which were originally practised in a very small geographic area.

Most crafts require a combination of skill, speed, and patience, but they can also be learnt on a more basic level by virtually anyone.


Arts and crafts also refers to the Arts and Crafts movement, a late 19th century design reform and social movement.

O Artesanato

Cândido Portinari. Baiana (gravura - matriz) 1942

O Artesanato é essencialmente o próprio trabalho manual ou produção de um artesão. Mas com a mecanização da indústria o artesão é identificado como aquele que produz objetos pertencentes à chamada cultura popular.

Os primeiros objetos feitos pelo homem eram artesanais. Isso pode ser identificado no período neolítico (6.000 a.C.) quando o homem aprendeu a polir a pedra, a fabricar a cerâmica como utensílio para armazenar e cozer alimentos, e descobriu a técnica de tecelagem das fibras animais e vegetais.

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

Municipal Theatre, Sao Paulo

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet and dramatist.
