Google is celebrating the 100th birthday of Mary Blair, the late Disney artist whose colorful style became synonymous with some of the ‘50s most cherished and beloved animated films. “Alice in Wonderland,” “Cinderella” and “Peter Pan” all featured her work, and even though Blair left Disney in the mid 1950s, she was hired later by Walt Disney himself to work on Disney’s ...

It is coming up on the middle of October, and finally in the south we are seeing some cooler temperatures.  Autumn is one of those seasons that can go either way in the south, so you never can be too sure of what kind of weather will be coming your way this time around.  When we do get those nice cool autumn temperatures I like to channel my inner artist in many unique ways.  For instance, I like to carve ...

Do you remember being a little kid and making shadow puppets one your bedroom wall from the glow of your nightlight? Or maybe you made scary hand figures with a flashlight as you were huddled around a campfire with all of your friends. If so, the thought of making these shapes into an art probably never crossed your mind.

Shadow art has been around since fire first began. They used to tell stories through their actions and shadows on cave walls. ...

When you hear the name hand art, you don’t know what should come to mind. Hand art is when you paint your hand in a way so that it resembles something like an animal or other object. These images are truly amazing!

I was looking for some sort of creative form of art when I stumbled upon hand art. I had no idea what to expect because I had never heard of it. I was thinking that maybe it was some ...
