International Mail Art was a show comprised of over 8000 pieces from more than 25 countries. The exhibit was dedicated to Judith Hoffberg, who was an editor, archivist, curator, librarian, lecturer. a great promoter of artists and a supporter of both mail art and artists books. All mail art included in the exhibition has been donated to the Judith A Hoffberg Archive at the UC Santa Barbara Library.</p>
<p>We enjoyed this show thoroughly! The pieces were done in a wide variety of techniques:  collage, rubber stamps, photography to name a few! My favorites were the ones incorporating drawings or paintings. Mail art (also known as correspondence art) is described in the press release from the exhibit as “art which uses the postal system as a medium.” This means that it might just be art with postage stamps (real or not) on it, or be made to look like or include an envelope, postcard, or package.</p>

Do you love art, school and office supplies? Well, today&#8217;s inside peek is all about putting together a &#8220;Mail Art Kit&#8221; that was so fun and reminiscent of getting fresh school supplies.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is a good mail day?&#8221; A good mail day is a day when, instead of just bills, catalogs, and advertisements, your postal carrier delivers artful, beautiful, personal mail from friends and acquaintances all over the world. Mail art is a collaborative art form with a long and fascinating history populated by famous artists as well as everyday practitioners.</p>
<p>The term &#8220;mail art&#8221; refers to pieces of art sent through the mail rather than displayed or sold in traditional venues. Mail artists often use inexpensive and recycled materials including postcards, collage, rubber stamps, and photocopied images. Mail art is a truly international activity and a fun way to connect with people in every corner of the globe. Readers will learn to create decorated and illustrated envelopes, faux postage and artistamps, find penpals, make a mail art kit, and much more!</p>

Uruguay&#8217;s two most famous artists work in Punta del Este studios that do triple duty as museums and gathering places.</p>
<p>Carlos Páez Vilaró&#8217;s Casapueblo is a a stunning design achievement. This enormous snow-white structure seems part Aegean villa and part space colony.</p>
<p>It is also an inspired locale for Punta visitors to bask in &#8220;magic hour,&#8221; witnessing dazzling Punta sunsets for a modest fee (the sparkling toast is complimentary). In season, the surrounding seas churn with the frolics of summering whales. Casapueblo is built on Punta Ballenas, or Whale Point.</p>
<p>Casapueblo is also a museum that celebrates the career and iconic sun drawings of illustrator and painter Carlos Páez Vilaró, a dashing octogenarian often on the premises.</p>
<p>What else can Casapueblo be? Indeed, it is a hotel with dozens of fanciful, ocean-perched rooms.</p>
<p>Lovers of sculpture and modern art staying in Punta must include a trip to the lair of Pablo Atchugarry.</p>
<p>Atchugarry-the name is Basque, like many Uruguayans&#8217;-creates massive yet delicate abstract works in sensuous, silken, cloud-white Carrara marble. Weighing a half-ton but appearing feather-light, Atchugarry&#8217;s works remind some connoisseurs of angel wings, others of curvy torsos.</p>
<p>A few visitors to Atchugarry&#8217;s museum wander into his studio beside the parking area. Here, in a glass-walled white space filled with powder-fine marble dust, they are apt to catch the master hewing rock. Señor Atchugarry is a giant of a man, and equal to the stone behemoths he turns into poetry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graffiti&#8217;s first roots began to appear in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the late 60s when a couple of young boys started tagging corn bread and cool earl all over the city until almost every where you looked you would see corn bread and cool earl written in trains walls windows etc. Soon this radical way of expression know as graffiti art caught the community and local press attention. A few year later after the movement of cornbread and cool earl took notice many graffiti artist where slowly appearing in to the streets of Manhattan, but it wasn&#8217;t until the year 1971 when the new York times published an article about a young graffiti artist by the name of TAKI 183 a boy who had tagged all over the city capturing every ones attention do to the fact that you would literally see his name tagged across the entire city.</p>
<p>Taki 183 was employed as a foot messenger and was often moving threw out the hole city something he took advantage of by tagging his name every where he would be at walls, trains, windows, cars etc. But even thou he was the first graffiti artist to be recognized for his art he wasn&#8217;t the first to start writing in New York there where plenty of others before him. But his fame opened the doors to many other young artist that would start emerging from the streets of New York.</p>
<p>Very soon graffiti art became a way for young kids to express them self&#8217;s by tagging there names on walls or trains using anything from paint markers, spray paints, etc slowly graffiti art started moving from the streets on to sub ways and until it became very competitive that graffiti artist would write their names as man times as possible. After a wile graffiti artist discovered that they where able to paint on the trains by sneaking in to the train yards. something that decreased the chance of getting caught so they started working more in to detailed pieces called bombs or bombing a popular way of graffiti that even today it still exists.</p>
<p>Once the trains started appearing with many types of colors and tagged the community started protesting and the trains where cleaned every time some one would paint on them after graffiti artists realized that there was no point in painting them they stopped and moved there art back on to the streets where it has remained up to this date. But graffiti didn&#8217;t stay just in new York or Philadelphia it rapidly caught the attention of many young boys and girls around the world from one continent to an other. Today graffiti is well established in many of the most popular cities and each and every city containing there own unique style of graffiti art.</p>

As the depiction of human beings is not allowed in the Islamic religion, consequently the Islamic culture developed a high standard of decorative arts. Calligraphy is also a form of non-figurative art. Abstract designs have also existed in western culture in many contexts. However, Abstract art is distinct from pattern-making in design, since it draws on the distinction between decorative art and fine art, in which a painting is an object of thoughtful contemplation in its own right. There are also many large abstract paintings.</p>
<p>Contemporary abstract paintings also represent true form of the abstract art. Modern abstract paintings have successfully attracted the art lovers. Modern abstract oil Paintings are of various wonderful styles. These include abstract expressionist paintings, abstract landscape paintings, abstract still life painting and abstract flower paintings etc. The abstract acrylic art is also getting very popular.
