		<description><![CDATA[ 
A color wheel or color circle is an organization of color hues around a circle, showing relationships between colors considered to be primary colors, secondary colors, complementary colors, etc

Primary Colours:the three basic colours (red, yellow and blue) that cannot be mixed from other colours but can be used to mix all the other hues
Secondary Colours: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=53&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Arpilleras
Arpilleras are three-dimensional appliqué textiles of Latin America. A contemporary craft, the first ones were made by the Mothers of the Disappeared in Chile to tell their stories and support their families.
In 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a dramatic military coup against Chile&#8217;s democratically elected Marxist government. Many citizens were publically executed and   at least 3,000 Chilean [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=69&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Visual Reflection of Helen Belkin Art Gallery Experience

My visual reflection speaks to my reaction of the contemporary art featured at the exhibit. To me the pieces spoke reality, and portrayed the issues that are eminent in our world today. The pieces made me question, think, and wonder about our &#8216;exponential future.&#8217;
Exponential Future

		<description><![CDATA[ 
 Plaster 
Plaster of Paris, or simply plaster, is a type of building material based on calcium sulphate hemihydrate. Plaster is similar to motar or cement. Like those materials plaster starts as a dry powder that is mixed with water to form a paste which liberates heat and then hardens. Unlike motar and cement, plaster remains quite soft after drying, and can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=50&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Movement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Movement
 is the suggestion or illusion of motion in a painting, sculpture, or design. For example, circles going diagonally up and down from right to left could show that the design moves up and to the right or down and to the left

		<title>Pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Pattern
is simply keeping your design in a certain format. For example, you could plan to have wavey lines all around your design as a pattern, but then you must continue those wavey lines throughout the design for good patterns. It wouldn&#8217;t look good if suddenly you stopped all the wavey lines and drew a picture [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=46&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Balance
means keeping your design like a pattern. A balanced pattern would be if you had a border on your pattern in black. Unbalanced would be if approximately one-third of the border was orange and the other two-thirds in pink. To keep your design balanced, make your measurements as accurate as possible. Keeping your design symmetric [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=34&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

refers to specific hues and has 3 properties, Chroma, Intensity and Value.  The color wheel is a way of showing the chromatic scale in a circle using all the colors made with the primary triad.  Complimentary pairs can produce dull and neutral color.  Black and white can be added to produce tints (add white), shades [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laural17.wordpress.com&blog=2730821&post=36&subd=laural17&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
