architecture art business call given people product rises
Architecture is a service business. An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
architecture art ask houses people tract whether
There are a lot of questions about whether architecture is art. The people who ask that think pretty tract houses are architecture. But that doesn't hold up.
ability art beautiful context creating designs discovery feeling inspired jewelry led living painters process provides realize shared sketching spirit vision ways worked
Jewelry is an art form, ... In conceptualizing designs for Tiffany, I worked as I always do, sketching and creating models. Sculptors and painters have inspired me with their ability to make things with their own hands. This process led to the discovery of new ways to give feeling and spirit to form, and realize our shared vision of jewelry that provides a beautiful context for living now.
school artist people
Generally in our world, whether in architecture or almost anywhere else, we devalue the artist, and schools at whatever level shut people down.
artist architect
Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.
art children architecture
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
artist architect elitist
Those who say only artists and architects can create are the ones who are elitist.
beautiful art people
In the art world Robert Rauschenberg had been combining common materials that people thought was art and beautiful, and it was. If he could do that, I could emulate him.
art literature worried
We have always created - music, literature, art, dance. The art around us - or lack of it - may be a measure of how we're doing as individuals and as a civilization, so maybe we should be worried.
artist
Everybody's an artist. Unfortunately we don't treat them as such.
art school
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
art children struggle
When I was a child I could do math and art, so I had left- and right-brain capabilities. But I've seen my children, who are more right-brained, struggling. My son was told he wouldn't make it to college, but he dogged it through and ended up being accepted by 10 major art schools after the high school advisor said, "Please don't apply. You're going to be disappointed." That kid's an artist now.
art home unique
The culture of France is unique because it's a culture that has a high priority on the arts, more than any other place in the world in our time since Greece. So as a practicing artist, if you will, this is home ground. They love us, so music, literature, art continues to be the center.
artist architecture
In the Renaissance there wasn't a distinction. Bernini was an artist and he made architecture, and Michelangelo also did some great architecture.
