1. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 modify for my sun posts

"10 things close art" is a flake of an experiment - to run into if I tin write a briefer post close fine art on alternate Sundays.  The thought is to write close fewer things simply peradventure say a flake more.  It's looking pretty lengthy at the 2nd simply I'm enjoying focusing inwards to a greater extent than depth on fewer subjects.

There are no posts from fine art blogs identified this calendar week - run into exceptional 2 equally to why!

2. It's going to live to a greater extent than hard to follow Art Blogs via a Feed Reader from July (or is it?)

I'm currently experimenting amongst alternative feedreaders for 
  • broadcasting the publication of a post on my blog(s)
  • reading fine art blogs without having to see each weblog individually
I'm really much biased towards webware accessible via unlike platforms inwards unlike places.
  • I'm continuing to manually post weblog posts to my Facebook page - amongst a brief comment.  (Don't operate Networked Blogs for automated posting - Facebook volition bury the post)
  • I tried Bloglines (which is what I originally used) - yet it's a consummate waste product of time.  I practise NOT recommend switching to Bloglines
  • I'm currently trying Newsblur - for which I had to fork out $24p.a. for the premium service because I needed to transfer 554 feeds (!) most of which are to practise amongst art.

  • So far, I've discovered:
    • they have got an incredibly piece of cake method for transferring feeds from Google Reader - whizzbangwhallop - mine took close 2 minutes!
    • it tells me which feeds are dead or dying on their feet.  I'm afraid I've got a cull going on at the 2nd - I had no thought I had 554 feeds!
    • I tin organise the feeds into folders - which was the large attraction of newsblur over feedly equally I already had really good developed folder organization for feeds - in addition to this was transferred across without problem.  Feedly crosses platforms easily simply doesn't seem to have got the construction to care amongst heavyweight feed usage in addition to the involve for a folder structure.
    • I tin human face at folders, a listing of posts in addition to the actual content of an private post all at the same fourth dimension (see image).  Heady stuff!  This lone agency I'm non going dorsum to Google Reader fifty-fifty if I could.  It also agency I'm going to live expecting a lot from weblog post titles to tell me what a post is close simply twas always thus!
    • Plus I tin tell which of my feeds are proficient at producing content (a number shows upward to tell me how much unread fabric it has)
    • The downside - I'm soundless looking for the search facility - which I used to operate a lot inwards Google Reader in addition to I haven't establish it equally yet.  (I straightaway have confirmation - at that spot is no search facility - which is sad!)
    • I larn an associated weblog of my ain - makingamark.newsblur.com !  It's a flake similar posting posts to Facebook - amongst a comment.  Not certain whether I'm going to practise it for every 1 - simply so far I've shared two.  Plus I tin also part posts from other people equally I come upward across them - much equally I practise on Facebook.  So peradventure this is similar a Facebook page for non-Facebook people or an expanded Twitter?

3.  Australia loves fine art in addition to fine art competitions

Why does Commonwealth of Australia practise such proficient fine art competitions?

I shout out upward when I showtime went to Commonwealth of Australia inwards 1997 my sis told me that fine art is taken seriously past times the Aussies in addition to the fine art competitions run past times the Art Gallery of New South wales are taken VERY seriously.  I went to run into the Archibald piece I was at that spot in addition to came away really impressed.

I've been noticing inwards the past times few years that Commonwealth of Australia has really proficient fine art competitions amongst unopen to hefty prizes in addition to fantabulous media coverage.  Most impressive is the really potent cultural heritage and contemporary issues which come upward through inwards the fine art which is submitted.  They actually lay the fine art competitions inwards this province to shame!

4.  A modify of condition inside the fine art market

The USA has the largest fine art marketplace again - inwards price of value of sales at auction - regaining the abide by from China.  See The Art Market: Top of the charts (Financial Times) and The TEFAF Art Market Report 2013 - The Global Art Market In 2012:
  • the USA had 3% of the fine art market  (up 4% on 2011)
  • China dropped to 25% (from 30% inwards 2011) due to a major slowdown inwards the Chinese market
  • and the Great Britain had 23%
  • however global sales contracted past times 7% in addition to the volume of transactions decreased past times 4%
  • the lower destination of the fine art marketplace demonstrated the weakest performance
Within the fine fine art market
  • Post-War in addition to Contemporary Art has a 43% part past times value.
  • Modern Art has 30%
  • investors inwards fine art stuck to good known names who already had a presence inwards the overstep destination of the market.
5. Art Education:  Top in addition to tail the fine art workshop amongst freebies

Kevin McPherson (who wrote Fill Your Oil Paintings amongst Light & Color affiliate link included) has developed a novel approach to marketing his workshops which I think is rather neat.  He's doing
  • a complimentary paintout  on June 22nd
  • a complimentary critique on June 29th
  • both events overstep in addition to tail a calendar week long workshop inwards New United Mexican States amongst Kevin which is non complimentary in addition to is also aimed at those who would prefer to pigment independently amongst demonstrations in addition to critique available.
What practise you lot think?  It strikes me that if the freebies are available to people who don't sign-up for the courses so people larn a conduct chances to endeavour out whether they similar the tutor in addition to way of teaching without having to lay out a whole charge of money.

I think anything which converts involvement into a buy of a shape or workshop or icon vacation (or fine art mass or video!) is an thought worth thinking close for all creative someone tutors.  I practise know that for a lot of fine art tutors the major business office of net turn a profit that they construct on their educational activities comes from their production sales to students (ie artwork, fine fine art prints, instruction books, 'how to' videos etc)

6.  Art Exhibitions inwards the UK
