                                                                          Printing

What is Printing? Printing is the art of copying pictures onto another piece of transcript. How printing works is first you get a flat place with the desired image engraved into it. Second you cover it with with inc then you place a piece of paper over it then you rub the back thus printing the desired image into your piece of paper. Printing was first used by the Confucians and the Buddhist's, they invented printing to copy sacred texts. The earliest known print was the Sutra printed on a single piece of paper in Korea in 750.  Over time printing has evolved from this time consuming process. It is still basically the same thing but the technology used to print has gotten better, instead of having to engrave plates or slabs of rock they started using wood with the image carved into it. They later created machines that printed images as well. Some examples are like the printing press, type writers, printers. P.S. I don't have any pictures yet because the pictures size wouldn't fit. 

                                                                                                                          
 When I was little I used to watch Bob Ross paint "Happy Little Trees" it inspired me to want to make beautiful art like he did in his paintings. Sadly though i was never a painter.

                                                                       Painting



There are many different kinds of styles of painting, like spray painting, water color painting, oil painting, realistic painting, Grafiti which is under spray painting. You may know about some of the fathers of painting like Leonardo da Vinci who painted one of the most famous paintings in the entire world the Mona lisa , or Michealangelo who painted the Vatican both very skilled artists are known for there magnificent master pieces around the world and continue to be known through out time. enough about ancient art the Painting done by modern artists are just as good even though most of them are not traditional. Most modern paintings depict a variety of new images and invoke feelings of passion for this new form of expression in the hearts of all the people who observe it and inspire them to try and make there own master pieces. I will post some examples of paintings and try to make some of my own as well.

                                                                        Origami
For those who have tried origami its not that easy to pick up right away, unless your some prodigy child or something. Its actually quite complex when it comes to making the desired figure. Especially when making the folds. You run into a lot of problems like uneven folds, tears, having the wrong sized paper, or your paper getting wet. Through and through not every origami figure will turn out as expected. I tried making a origami rhino it was an utter failure. So keep practicing and eventually you'll get pretty good at it. Here are some pictures of other people who share in my origami short comings.

                                        
                                Origami

 Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures. it  has been around for thousands of years but it started out in china around 105 A.D. and was later brought to Japan in the sixth century by monks.The word origami is composed of the two words oru (to fold) and kami (paper). Origami as we know today is folding paper in complex ways to make a unique shape or figure such as a crane, throwing star,or cube. It has many different purposes, when it first came around it was just for religious ceremonies or ceremonies in general. Origami has been and continues to be practiced by individuals of all ages all around the world.
