Hello. I would be glad if You shared your opinion about studies of visual arts in high European art schools, be it academy or university.
I’m actually looking for studies in English language, and I’m particularly interested in schools, providing combined course of fine arts, some practical things, like design, and art history.
Thank you.

Art speaks a universal language. In fact, art in any form is a pleasure to the eyes and whatever form art might take, the outcome is always beautiful and captivating. Art remains eternal and carries an eternal beauty with it. In fact, whatever form and shape it takes, it manages to mesmerize all and especially the ones who are the ardent art lovers. An art lover can find an entire world in arts and they can spend huge sum of money to buy their favorite art piece and to indulge in their passion for art. However, with the passage of time, it seems that today art has also managed to fall into the grip of fraudulence, deceive and treachery. People actually manage to sell fraudulent art pieces to people at the cost of the real piece. There are art lovers who accidentally buy such fake pieces thinking them to the real creation. In such a case, if anybody has managed to buy a fake piece, wants to seek justice and punish the fake vendor, and then he or she can take the help of an art lawyer.
An art lawyer is basically a law professional, who deals with such fraudulent cases and helps the buyer get justice and even get the entire amount refunded from the vendor. There are many art lawyers who fight such cases and if you want to hire somebody, you will definitely have to conduct some research on the case history of the lawyer to see his success ratio. Once you hire an art lawyer to fight your case, you will have to give out all the details so that it becomes easier for him to understand the intricacies of the case and then accordingly, battle out the legal procedures. An art lover has always been known about his or her love indulging in art pieces and the best thing for them is to buy an art piece from an authenticated art dealer, who can promise to provide them with genuine art pieces. However, deceptive art dealers manage to sell fraud art pieces and people generally do not realize that they have bought a fake art piece. In this case, an art lawyer is whom one should approach, as he knows what best needs to be done.
One important thing that needs to be remembered is that an art lawyer not only fights a case when a buyer buys a fake art piece but also fights cases for art sellers. This case arises when an art vendor or a dealer is not being able to get the money from a buyer. Many a times, people buy art pieces and later they manage to deceive the dealer from paying the money. In this case, the dealer can also approach an art lawyer to fight his case against the buyer who has cheated him. This shows that an art lawyer can be of help to both a buyer as well as a seller and they can approach him whenever they feel the need to do so.
Art is the one form of expression that everybody loves to indulge in. For that reason, if you are a passionate and devoted art lover and want to buy good and authentic art pieces, you need not worry about falsification anymore. In case of counterfeit, you can always take the aid of an art lawyer. However, you should make sure that the art lawyer you hire is well versed with his own work and promise you apt justice.

The first and last thing you need to remember about martial arts is that it is a field of discipline that is supposed to prepare you for combat. It is not simply a set of movements that look great to spectators. Every movement, every breath done by the martial artist is meant to accomplish something during a combat encounter. If you are ready for the idea of using your martial arts skills for combat situations, then you are ready to train and progress in martial arts.
Inasmuch as the term âMartial Artsâ literally means âthe art of Marsâ (Mars being the god of war in Roman mythology), you should be prepared to invest in martial arts equipment to train for highly combative situations. Though some cultures frown upon women taking part in martial arts, there are other cultures that expect women to learn martial arts too â like in ancient Japan, wives of samurai warriors were expected to defend the home if attacked in the absence of their husbands.
Martial arts can be subdivided as to what skills they seem to prioritize â this will tell you what types of martial arts equipment you need to use. For striking, you may need the âwooden dummyâ that is used as Chinese martial arts equipment â this type of Chinese martial arts equipment tries to train your mind to anticipate where angles of attack would come from. For kicking sports like Taekwondo, the necessary martial arts equipment to use would be a mouth-guard and a head-guard (for both male and female jins or fighters.) Male jins need other martial arts equipment like a crotch guard or sport cup so that their groin is not exposed to injury. Chest protectors are standard martial arts equipment for amateur matches and Olympic-level matches. However, in real life you should expect such protective martial arts equipment to be absent so some sparring matches involve absence of any protective gear, so you get used to being in real-life combat situations.
Uniforms are standard martial arts equipment for nearly all martial arts nowadays. Often, you can distinguish what type of martial arts is being done based on what the fighters are wearing. But uniforms are not just pleasant to look at â since they are made of thick material, they are pretty durable so that they can withstand constant strikes and friction during combat situations. Uniforms nowadays are also made of breathable material like thick cotton so that fighters donât overheat or feel too uncomfortable in the heat of a match.
Since martial arts were developed for combat, often fighters or martial artists might be members of the military. In the Western context then, it may be necessary to have access to important martial arts equipment such as strength training equipment. Though in the past, the weight of your opponent may have been enough to workout with, nowadays many martial arts recognize that strength training is quite important too. So if you can find a way to buy your own gym equipment (as your investment into necessary martial arts equipment) or at least rent them by the hour, that would help you develop strength and power for your matches.
In many Chinese martial arts, there are other forms of martial arts equipment that Western martial arts do not require. Some Chinese disciplines will require you to break wooden blocks or planks with your fist. This simple yet staple among Chinese martial arts equipment tests your power, focus, and ability to marshal your chi (energy) into your fist where it meets the wood. Another type of necessary martial arts equipment for the Chinese martial arts would be concrete blocks. Some instructors may ask you to break these concrete blocks with your fist, feet, or even your head.
As you can see, the Chinese martial arts require a different set of martial arts equipment compared to the Western type of martial arts. Do invest in the type of martial arts equipment appropriate for your discipline. Martial arts equipment will help you be a stronger, better and more confident fighter in the end.
I am doing a study of “Faith and Reason” written by Pope John Paul II. Tonight we were talking about objectivity and subjectivity. Art was the example used to discuss one’s own perception of good art and bad art and the universal perception of it. I am confused by the subject of art. I personally think good and bad art is subject to one’s own personal opinion.
Can anyone explain to me what is ‘good art’? Like Michelango, Picaso & Van Gogh versus modern art? And by whose standards is ‘good art’ classified as such?
I’ve never taken an art class, I only draw privately once in a while but I don’t consider myself an artist. What books or websites can I go to to learn about art?
The word marbling is in Turkish EBRU (cloud, cloudy) or abru (Water face) (En Français. It is derived from the word ebre which belongs to one of the older Central Asian languages and it means the “moiré, veined fabric, paper etc…” used for covering some manuscripts and other holy books. Its origin might ultimately hark back to China, where a document from the T’ang dynasty (618-907) mentions a process of coloring paper on water with five hues. Through the Silk Road this art came first to …
