Answer:

Blind contour drawing is a drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper. The artistic technique was introduced by Kimon Nicolaïdes in The Natural Way to Draw, and it is further popularized by Betty Edwards as "pure contour drawing" in The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Nicolaïdes and Edwards propose different ideas of why blind contour drawing is an important method of drawing for art students. Nicolaïdes instructs students to keep the belief that the pencil point is actually touching the contour. He suggested that the technique improves students' drawings because it causes students to use both senses of sight and touch. Edwards suggests that pure contour drawing creates a shift from left mode to right mode thinking. The left mode of the brain rejects meticulous, complex perception of spatial and relational information, consequently permitting the right brain to take over. Blind contour drawing may not produce a lifelike drawing; however, it helps students to draw more realistically, rather than relying on their memorized drawing symbols. Blind contour drawing trains the eye and hand to work as a team, and it helps students to see all of the details of the object.

Some artists use contour drawing to warm up for a drawing session.

Answer: I choose the painting, "Women in the garden" by Claude Monet

Explanation:

Women in the garden was created by Claude Monet in 1866 using oil paints. In the painting he depicts his future wife, Camille Doncieux posing among other girls surrounded by trees and lush garden greens. Monet painted this painting en plein air which means outside. He was worried about having all the wrong angles so he dug a trench for his canvas after painting the upper half in order to have as realistic point of view as possible. In the painting the girls appear to be wearing beautiful gowns that Monet got the inspiration for from a magazine. Many of Monet's works of art where sent to Paris salons and loved by the public but when he sent his painting Women in the garden to be hung among the others for all to see it was rejected in 1867 because they claimed it was weak in the narrative and wouldn't show it in their museum because of his heavy brushstrokes. claude monet at the time was barely making it by due to not having alot of money so fellow artist Jean Frederic Bazille bought his painting in order to support him in his time of need.

When creating the layout of a magazine, A. a central image is selected first, and then typeface and logos are added as needed.
The image is quite important when it comes to the layout of a magazine, because it is often what attracts people to buy it. Later on, you can add additional text to the front page, but the image is crucial.

Why do you think developing language skills is important to a child? How would you foster this?
alexgriva [62]
Children learn a lot within the first nine years of their life, in fact, our brains are still in development until about the age of 26! So it is very important to get those skills early on in life while the brain is still really developing (around ages 0-9 and even still till the age of 26) 
Encourage children to read and pronounce things clearly. Have them listen to fun books on cd. If your child is a bit older try the Harry Potter series, or if they are younger try something like, the Chronicles of Narnia, the Boxcar Children, or even Beatrix Potter if they are in to animals. If younger still, read aloud books like from Doctor Seuss, or the fun and entertaining; The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Perhaps have them take a class on a foreign language, usually Spanish is a good one to start with. And if all else fails, take them in to a doctor who can advise and help a child in other ways than these.                                          Hope this helps!
