Famous Photographs: The Afghan GirlIf you run a google search on what are the top famous Photographs of all time, The Afghan Girl is sure to appear. She is truly a face from History and one that many across the globe have tried to capture within others time and time again. But what exactly has made this image and its photographer so captivating?

Eyes, they say, are the window to the soul. And capturing such a piercing and expressive look in a photograph is a highly sought after skill. The Afghan Girl exhibits suspense, suspicion and a sense of distrust at the person behind the lens, she gives off an air of maturity, a foreboding feeling - a vulnerability behind years of strength. That, is what makes her so captivating.
Sharbat Gula is her name, although few even know this rather important detail. Sh

Famous Photographs: Lunch Atop A SkyscraperWhilst the most famous photographs from across the years often feature famine, death, destruction and war, it's sometimes refreshing to catch a glimpse of one or two that don't exhibit depression, demise and conflict. Photo-journalism can work both ways to brief the viewer of an image on what it's like to step into somebody else's shoes. It can shock, bring a tear or even, by some miracle - a smile.
Lunch Atop A SkyScraper does exactly that. It provokes a smile, it features across the world in postcards, books, greeting cards and other formats and ultimately it tugs at that part of your heart that knows there can be good in the world. So what makes it famous?

The Photograph itself shows eleven working men eating lunch, sitting on a steel girder. Nothing extraordinary about that right? Wrong. Their feet are dangling 256 metres above New York City. Nobody actually knows w

Creeping Wednesday #5

It's the fifth Creeping Wednesday!
Today's theme is a rat, so be careful if you're afraid of them, like my mother, for example. Or her mother... And grandma's mother, too. Many thanks to *Sieskja and *SandraHultsved, who suggested a great part of this feature. The next theme is a witch - but it's not about those oh ah pretty ones, I mean those with warts, troll noses and half of their teeth. Are you brave enough to find them?

3 questions to :iconsocar:, a neat rat portraitist - but not only!
What is that attracts you to Traditional Art?Traditional art, more particularly pen & ink, was the first type of art I became comfortable with. I tried out digital art for a few years, when it started gaining in popularity, but I never became accustomed to looking at the screen while drawing on the tablet. It felt awkward, and didn't give me the kind of control I was looking for. Al

I'd like to take a moment to issue a very important "THANK YOU" to YOU! The deviantART Community. On the heels of our 12th Birthday, I've looked back at the projects that my team have undertaken and realized that in the last year, especially, the deviantART community has stepped up and helped to make projects like #projecteducate and #ArtHistoryProject successful. Without your contributions, interest, faves, feedback and participation, projects like these would go no where. I'm looking forward to more community interaction and participation projects and am always open to your feedback regarding projects or endeavors you'd li

Art History: Art made with MS PaintIn today's Art History article, we are looking at YOUR art. Specifically, art made with Microsoft Paint.
"Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and the Windows NT4 version did support the latter), PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF (without multiple page support). The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For its simplicity, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Windows—introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time—and still has strong associations with the immediate usability of th

Daily Deviations: Behind the MagicWhat's this about?
Hi, everyone!
A discussion of Daily Deviations (DDs) is always a difficult one to navigate. Some people hold them in very high esteem, while others do not; some people see them as an opportunity to expose new artists, while others want to see the latest work from the masters of manipulation. And most of us want to know where ours is or when it is coming!

Some of the Community Volunteers, led by ^Astralseed, have come together to share some of the "secrets" or "logic" behind what it takes to get a DD and what DDs really are all about. We are going to put together a Project Educate: Daily Deviations week mid-August, and you are invited!
Your input wanted!
We wanted to get started early by finding out what your questions are about DDs, if any, and what you think about them. We're very curious to learn your perspectives because we want to give you a voice in this process. What would YOU like to know more
