 Drawing in December

While looking for some information online regarding how to draw buildings, I came across two very amazing painting and drawing blogs that I want to gush about and share with others.

The first 'gush and share' is a blog called Forget What Did by John Finnemore who - according to what I've seen of his blog - enjoys drawing in his spare time. He did a series of drawings in the days leading up to Christmas in December 2011 which I really enjoyed which is why I'm linking to them.

As John explains himself, "I write and perform comedy and drama for TV, radio and the stage. For instance, I write the BBC Radio 4 sitcom 'Cabin Pressure', and play the part of Arthur."

Well there you go - one talented man who can draw to boot! Do make sure to check out the drawings for the 10th, the 15th and the 20th of December as I love those the best.The artist explains the technique: "I''ve ve only drawn one line today, but in fairness it is quite a complicated line." Indeed it is and how amazingly cool to boot!

Side by Side in Japan

The second blog which caught my attention is Side by Side in Japan. This drawing blog ran in September and October 2011. It features drawings from American artist Gary Snavely and Japanese artist Tatsuo Inoue.

As two months' worth of images didn't quite satisfy me, I went looking for more work by these artists. Gary Snavely has his own website, however I haven't been able to find a website for Tatsuo Inoue.

Check out Side by Side in Japan for work from both artists and Gary Snavely Studio for the work of Gary Snavely.

The one who changed my thinking

There's a difference between the person who writes this blog, and the person I am when not writing this blog. In my personal life, I'm quiet, someone who doesn't like attention. There are two reasons for that: One: I often feel like people just don't get me. Being 'the outsider' is just easier. No strained interactions. No having to try to fit in. Two: When it comes to stuff I am passionate about, like sociology, psychology, politics and religion, my opinion differs from many around me. I am pro-Israel.  Something that doesn't seem very popular or mainstream. Especially since October 7th. Being pro-Israel, to me... That doesn't mean that I support, or agree with, every decision the Israeli government makes. Far from it. But do I support Israel's right to exist? Yes. Do I support Israel's right to defend itself? Yes. Do I feel that the world is against Israel? Also: Yes. On the 7th of October 2023, a large number of rather angry men entered towns ...

Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory

Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917 - 2005) was a Russian American psychologist and professor known for developing the Ecological Systems Theory. He was generally regarded as one of the world's leading scholars in the field of developmental psychology. I learned about theorists such as Bronfenbrenner while studying towards my B.Ed. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory views the person as developing within a multi-layered system of relationships. Using the example of a child, the systems are: The Microsystem - One's family, classroom The Mesosystem - Two micro-systems in interaction (i.e. family and classroom) The Exosystem - External environments which indirectly influence development The Macrosystem - The larger socio-cultural context. Added later: The Chronosystem - The evolution of the external systems over time. Each system contains roles, norms and rules that can powerfully shape development. (Source: Wikipedia ) The Microsystem: The setting in which the indi...

New Orleans' Garden District

Anne Rice's old house on 1239 First Street and the setting of Mayfair Manor Photo Source: Flickr Looking up information about the house writer Anne Rice uses as the site for the family mansion in her Mayfair Witches series, I came across a lot of interesting information about that particular house as well as about the Garden District area of New Orleans. As Victoriana Magazine's website puts it: One of the world's most dazzling residential neighborhoods – containing a time capsule of historic southern mansions – is located in the Louisiana city of New Orleans.  The Garden District, a large square area bounded by Jackson Avenue, Louisiana Avenue, Magazine St. and St. Charles Ave, is the live oak tree-lined "American" sector of this southern city. ... The architecture of these historic houses is a fusion of classic styles with influence of Spanish, French, Italianate and English, as well as Greek Revival. These stately homes represent some of the best...
