HALLOWEEN!!!

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright.
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night:
 Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from there tombs,
 Witches on their magic brooms.
 In masks we hound the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat.
Tonight we are the king and queen,
For oh tonight it's Halloween!

Королева после бала!

After the ball was over
Mary took out her glass eye
Put her false teeth in some water
Hung up her wig to dry

Put her peg leg in the corner
Hung her wax ear on the wall
That's why you'd never know Mary,
After the ball.









После бала, после бала, 
Мэри сильно уж устала.
Вынула стеклянный глаз
И достала челюсть враз.


Сняв парик, отклеив ухо, 
Две ноги поставив в угол...
Все скрывает королева 
От прекрасных кавалеров!

Halloween - as Carlson - is a ghost wild, but nice :)

Once, when Kate was walking on a sidewalk, she saw a teen couple about the age of eighteen walking down the road. She passed them and said "Hello!," but they didn't reply. About four weeks later, she saw the same couple and greeted them with a "Hello" again. This time, they replied saying "Hi, Sweetie!" After about a month, Kate read an article about two teenagers who were beaten to death at a local barber shop. Pictured in the article was the couple she met on the sidewalk. At about 9:30 PM, Rate got a mail in the letterbox with no contact information. She opened the letter and it said "Hi, Sweetie!" 


Here's one I heard on the radio from a woman who told her story about seeing a ghost, which is scary: A few years ago, the woman and her family had just moved to a new house somewhere in NEW YORK. One night, her baby son was crying so she got out of bed and went to see him. Suddenly, the baby stopped crying. The woman knew that he must have fallen asleep so she went back to bed. A few hours later, the baby cried again, so she got up and went over to check again. As she opened the door to her son's room, she saw a boy, about 6 or 7 years old, calming the baby down. When he saw the woman, he disappeared. The woman was shocked and later told her neighbours what happened. The neighbours already knew about the ghost and told her that there was a boy who died from an illness, about 80 years ago, and was buried under the exact place where her baby son's room is.

Something interesting about Art

                       GRAPHICS

Graphics (in Greek - "I write, I draw") - is primarily a design and artistic printed works (engraving, lithography). It is based on the possibilities of creating an expressive art form through the use of different color lines, strokes and stains applied to the leaf surface.

Graphics preceded painting. At first, people learned to capture the shape and form of plastic objects, and then differentiate and reproduce the colors and shades. Mastering the color was a historical process: not all colors have been utilized once.


Specificity graphics - linear relationships. It, reproducing the shape of objects, passes them to light, the ratio of light and shadow, etc. Painting captures real world relationships of colors, in color and in color, it expresses the essence of objects, their aesthetic value, verifies their social purpose, their consistency or contradiction surrounding .

In the process of historical development in drawing and printmaking began to penetrate the color, and now refer to the chart and drawing with crayons - pastel, and colored engraving, painting water-colors, watercolor and gouache. In the various literature on art history, there are different points of views on the charts. Some sources: Graphics - a type of painting, and others - is a separate subspecies of the fine arts.

               What is ART?
                                                      
  To my mind, Art is our soul. It's something that people feel. 


Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings.
Art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions. (Macmillian, English Dictionary)


The main purposes of Art:
1. Basic human instinct for harmony, balance, rhythm. Art at this level is not an action or an object, but an internal appreciation of balance and harmony (beauty), and therefore an aspect of being human beyond utility. 
 2. Experience of the mysterious. Art provides a way to experience one's self in relation to the universe. This experience may often come unmotivated, as one appreciates art, music or poetry.

3.Expression of the imagination. Art provide a means to express the imagination in non-grammatic ways that are not tied to the formality of spoken or written language. Unlike words, which come in sequences and each of which have a definite meaning, art provides a range of forms, symbols and ideas with meanings that are maleable.

4. Communication. Art, at its simplest, is a form of communication. As most forms of communication have an intent or goal directed toward another individual, this is a motivated purpose. Illustrative arts, such as scientific illustration, are a form of art as communication. Maps are another example. However, the content need not be scientific. Emotions, moods and feelings are also communicated through art.

5.Art as entertainment. Art may seek to bring about a particular emotion or mood, for the purpose of relaxing or entertaining the viewer. This is often the function of the art industries of Motion Pictures and Video Games. 

Art’s purpose depends on the type of art. Beautiful art exists to bring joy and beauty into our lives. Conceptual art exists to make you think. Some art is meant to be lived with and enjoyed for a lifetime. Some art is ephemeral and points to the passing of time.
