Local businesses provide value to their local communities. Small businesses are important parts of the fabric of neighborhoods and employ local residents. Supporting small, independent businesses strengthens the local economy.
Binaural beats are a phenomenon that occurs when two different frequencies are played into each ear through headphones. This causes the brain to perceive a beat at the difference of the two frequencies. The article discusses how listening to binaural beats with frequencies associated with lucid dreaming states can help induce lucid dreams, where the listener is aware they are dreaming while the dream is occurring.
The document discusses an extended pose called the "Extended Child's Pose" which is a variation of the traditional Child's Pose yoga position. This extended version involves stretching the arms forward on the ground with the head resting on or between the hands. Holding this pose for several minutes provides benefits such as lengthening the spine, opening the shoulders and chest, and relaxing the mind.

The document discusses a new paint job for a home. It details that the exterior of the house will be repainted a light blue color to freshen up its appearance. All trim, shutters, and doors will also be repainted the same off-white color to match and provide a unified look. The project is scheduled to begin next week and take approximately 10 days to complete once started.
This document provides guidance for designing a book cover, noting that an effective cover should have appropriate emphasis, fonts, and texture used. It also cautions against unsatisfactory emphasis and designs that are "so bad it's good."
This document discusses repetition, variety, and gestalt as principles of visual design. It defines repetition as using elements more than once to structure a viewer's experience, and variety as incorporating visual diversity to avoid monotony and hold interest through alternating scale, color, or other features. Gestalt is described as an aspect of psychology referring to how the mind perceives unity and closure, relating to the overall feeling or sense of completeness evoked by an artifact for viewers.
point, line, shape, mass, volume, texture, value DEBEAUFORTJacques de Beaufort
This document discusses key elements of art and design including point, line, shape, mass, volume, texture, and value. It defines each element and provides examples. Point is the simplest element that can suggest lines or density. Line can be actual, implied, gestural, contour, or variations thereof. Shape can be geometric, organic, figure/ground, positive/negative. Mass refers to physical bulk while volume is the measurable space an object occupies. Texture can be actual, implied, or invented. Value refers to degrees of lightness and darkness, with contrast being the difference in values.
Contrast refers to the use of opposing elements of art to produce an intensified effect. Visual contrast is the degree of visual difference between elements to emphasize certain parts, while conceptual contrast is an implied opposition of ideas to emphasize unexpected differences.
Balance and weight refer to both the actual and visual equilibrium of elements in a work of art. There are different types of visual balance, including symmetrical balance where visual elements are evenly sized, shaped, and placed, as well as asymmetrical balance where equilibrium is almost but not exactly symmetrical. Visual balance can be achieved through techniques like varying the size, color, shape or frequency of elements to create a sense of equilibrium and tension in a composition.
Rhythm is defined as the movement or variation marked by a regular recurrence of related elements, while an irregular rhythm omits or adds unexpected stresses. Pattern refers to a systematic repetition of an element in a work.
This document discusses principles of visual design including unity, gestalt, repetition/variety, chaos, and proximity. Unity refers to a composition holding together visually as a whole. Gestalt psychology investigates how the mind seeks closure and unity. Repetition and variety use repeating or diverse elements to structure a viewer's experience without becoming monotonous.
This document discusses three principles of design: emphasis, which is using arrangement to make some areas the primary focus; subordination, which also uses arrangement to create a focal point; and focal point, which is the area that grabs and holds a viewer's attention.
Forces can be categorized as either line forces or directional forces. Line forces have magnitude and direction but no line of action, while directional forces have magnitude, direction, and a specific line of action where they apply to an object. Common examples of line forces include tension, compression, and friction. Directional forces include gravity, normal, applied, and reactive forces.
Directional force refers to the compositional means artists use to arrange design elements to move a viewer's eye in a intended way through a work of art. Key directional forces include vertical, horizontal, diagonal, circular and triangular lines or shapes that imply visual lines leading the eye to the focal point. Effective works of art often combine multiple directional forces.
This document discusses size, scale, and proportion in art. It defines scale as the comparative size of elements in relation to other elements or objects. Proportion is defined as the relationship between the sizes of parts and the whole. The document discusses classical proportions like the Golden Rectangle and Golden Section, which are ratios used in art. It also discusses Vitruvian Man, in which Leonardo da Vinci illustrated the harmonious proportions of the human body. The document notes that while Vitruvius defined average body proportions, there is variability between individuals.
Light travels in straight lines until it encounters a new medium, like air and glass, where it can either pass through (refraction) or bounce off of (reflection). Reflection occurs when light hits a smooth surface like a mirror, bouncing at the same angle, while refraction happens when light passes from one medium to another of different density, changing direction as it enters the new medium at a different speed. The bending of light that occurs during refraction can be described using Snell's law, which relates the angle of incidence and refraction based on the densities of the materials.
The document discusses contrapposto, an Italian term that describes a human figure standing with most of its weight on one foot so that its shoulders and arms twist off-axis from the hips and legs in the axial plane. Contrapposto creates a more natural, relaxed pose compared to standing with equal weight on both feet.
Vanitas still life paintings from the Dutch Golden Age were meant to remind viewers of the brevity and transience of life and the certainty of death. They featured common symbols of mortality like skulls, rotten fruit, bubbles, watches, hourglasses, and musical instruments. Additional symbols included fruit, flowers, and butterflies to represent life being attractive yet fleeting and bitter. The paintings provided moral justification for depicting attractive objects by serving as mementos mori.
The document discusses two types of gestures - rectilinear gestures which are straight lines and angles, and curvilinear gestures which are smooth and flowing curves. It compares and contrasts rectilinear and curvilinear gestures.
This document provides guidance on drawing facial features for a portrait. It advises starting with simple contours to guide the drawing of the face and using value rather than outlines to describe it. For eyes seen in profile, it notes that the shape looks like a triangle from the side. It also recommends rendering noses with light and shadow, beginning with light lines and then defining the shadow, including the shadow under the nose. Initial shapes, composition, and guidelines are covered as well as volumes, shading, rendering and finishing the portrait.
Tiling is a process used to cover floors and walls with tiles. Various materials can be used for tiles such as ceramic, stone, vinyl and more. Proper tiling requires careful measurement, cutting, and installation of tiles to create an attractive and durable surface covering.
