Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    What amazes me about Edgar Degas is that he is like no other in his time. His style is unique and refined placing emphasis on draftsmanship yet at the same time sculpting, and it makes him stand out from the impressionists, romanticists, realists. Indeed he can better be referred to as a classicist in a unique sort of way, at least in the early part of his life emphasising the line and draft later to be something of his own creation, and indeed one of Norton Simon's favorite artists, since I worked in that museum.

    Rehearsal on Stage



    The Rehearsal



    His fascination with the ballerina is indeed obvious for he loved capturing them since they offered the movement in between movements.

    This stuff is a delight!

        Titian is unbelievable. And there is an unfortunate thing involving his artwork. Setting: the Louvre. In the same room as the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is a painting of a general by Titian. It is one of the great masterpieces of painting ever produced....and nobody looks at it. It pisses me off. Everyone is crowding the Mona Lisa and they have no idea why, while fifteen feet to the left of it, around the Titian painting, it is almost completely empty. When I walked into that room, I spent about half a minute trying to peer over the shoulders of people to look at the Mona Lisa, then spent the following 15 minutes staring at the overlooked work of brilliance of the general. Just goes to show the naivite of the people who supposedly have an appreciation for great art.

        And no I am not saying the ML sucks.

          yeah... these days people are socialized too much to know what they know. they've been told what to believe in, what to like and what not to like. no one has an unbiased opinion anymore.
          it makes me wonder: how cool would it have been if I lived before 1900.
          technology sux.

                  I love art from Giotto to Cezanne...but lately i have mixed feelings about artists who portray'' landscape'' and "still life""

                  nature is perfection..how dare you mortal human being to portray perfection? By looking "landscapes" and "still life '' paintings what do you feel? i feel nothing..honestly..all i can think is artist's technique...i feel nothing..is there something wrong with me???/

                      This is indeed the best thread EVAR!

                      Did Goya do the painting of St Francis? No wait, I'm lost.
