A. I've seen a few definitions. I think it can be anyone not professionally trained. It can mean someone who's mentally not all there. I think it too can be someone who can't draw a straight line if they wanted to.

Q. pleas e ive looked everywhere!...i dont know what to do... assonance...metaphors...s milies...symb by Kay Ryan Most of it s too dreary or too cherry red. If it s a chair, it s covered with things the savior said or should have said dense admonishments in nail polish too small to be read. If it s a picture, the frame is either burnt matches glued together or a regular frame painted over to extend the picture. There never seems to be a surface equal to the needs of these people. Their purpose wraps around the backs of things and under arms; they gouge and hatch and glue on charms till likable materials apple crates and canning funnels lose their rural ease.

A. People have a fascination with idolizing the lives of others suffering from some sort of problem or depression in their lives. That's what popular music is based on , and psychotic artists profit as well. Take for example , emo and rock ,as well as rap. You will see this fascination for people who have something seriously wrong with them.What helps is the problems they have/glorify. The best example I can give you is the life of Bassist of Fall Out Boy. He is basically the figure head for the band, and takes medication for anxiety and insomnia as well as depression.He nearly killed himself overdosing on ativan ( anti-anxiety pill). He had a breakup with his girlfriend, made a CD, and FOB was all over MTV and music. He also has his own… [cont.]

Neith Nevelson is a great American artist. Yet, she is largely marginalized by the art-world. Why is that?
Q. American artist, Neith Nevelson, born in New York City in 1946, is an artist whom I consider to be genius-like. Yet, she has always been looked down upon by respected galleries and art-critics. Since Neith is the granddaughter of the great Louise Nevelson (1899-1988), I feel that part of this marginalization has to do with the facile connection that is often made between both Nevelsons, consisting of making Neith a copy-cat of Louise. Yet, anyone who is familiar with either of their work, will immediately recognize how dissimilar both of their arts are. Why is Neith Nevelson still considered an Outsider despite what I consider to be her "raw talent," ingenuity, and powerful artistic expression?
Asked by Eclectic Art Lover - Sun May 14 11:30:26 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because the established art world is so corrupt and has no confidence that their public can handle 2 Nevelsons. If they realized how dedicated and prolific Neith is they might realize that they could make money with her which is all that they apparently care about. Every fine artist needs a patron that does not stifle their creativity.

what exactly to they smoke in the outsiders?
Q. we're reading The Outsiders in language arts and they're always talking about how they smoke. but what confuses me is the part about what they call them. like in one paragraph it said, "I'm the real weed fiend in the family," but in another part it said, "Johnny bought some cigarettes at the store," and that's the part that confuses me. do they smoke weed like marijuana or are they just calling cigarettes weeds because tobacco comes from plants?

A. First off what do u mean by "their people"? Ok enough busting ur balls. Check on google. The Shaolin Temple will accept students no matter what country they are from. I know the tuition is not cheap but u will be training with the best in the world. Although they seperate foriegn students from the students from China because their training is more grueling. Litterally down the street from the Shoalin Temple there are about 50 - 100 other schools that were opened by former students of the Shaolin Temple. U have many options. Just do some more research. The Shaolin Temple has authorized branches in other countries too which will probably be cheaper. Good luck

What do you think of this great, raw anarcho punk band Rudimentary Peni =)...?
Q. Once I posted the question about the Subhumans and Icons Of Filth, I realized there are some people who like anarcho and crust punk, but I never knew they did. So here's for you. And anyone else who cares to listen... I realize It won't appeal to everyone though. Rudimentary Peni is an anarcho punk band from the UK. They formed in 1980 and are still active to this day. They are a pretty secretive band. They don't play shows because somewhere in the 80's their bassist was diagnosed with cancer. I have only seen 2 pictures of them online. The singer Nick Blinko is an amazing artist. He does abstract/outsider art. He also wrote a book The Primal Screamer. I guess it's supposed to be autobiographical but he wrote it in the 3rd person point… [cont.]

A. They have a bad reputation in the creative communities as an institution that provides too little education for way too much money. There are tons of state schools that have as good of a program (if not better) and are more affordable. If you contact them, they will send you mail/email forever. I'm sure they will provide you with more info about their capabilities, accreditation and tuition. If you have the opportunity to tour one of them, do so. No matter what other people say, you should always check these things out for yourself.

A. I'm in a figure drawing class right now...all of the models we've had are from an agency that the art department works with...many of the models have been older, and none have been students from my school. We've had both female and male models...and for the most part, only people in our class are allowed to attend, unless the model doesn't mind someone else attending the class. Generally, I don't think it would be appropriate to have a member of the class pose nude. Possibly clothed, it wouldn't be a problem. Usually though, it's best to hire a professional. They're skilled with standing still for long periods of time, and holding interesting poses.

What is a creative title for my Language Arts paper?
Q. My teacher assigned for us to track a certain symbol in the Outsiders, and I received cars. In this paper, I have to tell how significant the cars are to the story and what they represent. Only one problem: I have to have a creative title and I can't think of anything! I was thinking something like 'The Outsiders: Their Drive to Equality' or something, but it just doesn't sound right! Help!
Asked by MusicIsMySoul64 - Sat Apr 24 10:56:37 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Cars represent the contrast in wealth between the Socs and the Outsiders. The Outsiders had to move by foot, while the Socs owned automobiles. Aside from the social inequality, cars also have much deeper meanings, such as the oppression of the Outsiders by the Socs, the necessity for the Outsiders to live a gang life, and how they are "outsiders"---outcasts in a society where wealth means everything. Cars in the Outsiders: Social Inequality & Oppression I wouldn't call it "their drive to equality" because even though that's clever, the Outsiders never really got on a drive to equality. The differences were always there and they couldn't do anything about it.
