Are you a Master Craftsman(10,000 hour theory)?

Are you a master of your art/craft?

According to author, musician, neuro-scientist, Daniel Levitin in his book; "This is Your Brain on Music" ( a New York Times best-seller, Plume Printing 2006) , an expert or master of any craft is measured by that person practicing their craft for 10,000 hours.

Design Topic 3: Center Element Off-set (optical illusion)

Smyth Boone — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:17:44 -0600

When creating a stair railing that has a center element on the upright balusters, it is critical to have the center element raised slightly above the center-line of the baluster.

Here is an example... the collars in the center of each elongated 'O'(oval-the upright balusters), are the center elements off-set higher than mathematical middle of the 'O'.

ART AND DESIGN . . .A COMPARISON

Nic East — Sun, 25 May 2008 07:28:01 -0500

Design is a deliberate planning process aimed toward specific or generalized results. Since Art is based upon the imaginative, fantastic or creative drives, it is a discovery process, fraught with adventures for the Artist’s mind. One solves problems with a product in mind, while the other has the encouragement of discovering novelty as its goal.

Hello, my name is Candela, I'm 19 y/old and a silversmith, but what I really do is chasing-repousse...This is my first post here, i'm also trying to submit an image of my work,(hope u like it!), posting here seems a bit confusing to me; I don't know if this post is going to end up at an image gallery or at a chasing forum(I'd like the forum, that was my idea).

New to blogging

Sandra Moses — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:05:36 -0600

I am new to blogging and very interested in learning more as I really don't know what I'm doing. This is my first attempt and I'm learning as I go. I have done this section a number of times as I look into another area and then when I go back everything I've entered has disappeared. Hopefully this time it will work correctly. I am looking for some helpful hints that will assist me with this (don't get technical). I am also fairly new in the metal art business, I design the art and run the business, my husband cuts and finishes our art. I am looking for a serious mentor to assist me in learning how to market, etc, a new business and hopefully miss some common pitfalls that I may not know about as yet.
