Is face paint safe for dogs?
Hi, so with the FIFA Worldcup going on, I'd love to be able to paint my dogs face the colors of the team, but I want to be safe, I know food coloring doesn't harm them, but the problem is that my dog (a Lab/Shep Mix) Is dark brindle and light colors won't show on her. Does anyone know if regular face paint would be safe for her, & won't stain her fur, or if there's any other options? Thanks. Update: For anyone saying to leave the dog alone, or that they feel sorry for my dog, my dog is a service dog, seizure alert dog for myself. She is more than, a pet, or even a family member, she's my everyday partner that keeps me safe. I have never dressed her up other than her Service harness, or done anything like this. But she's on release (on relax mode) @ home & lately every time someone gets their face painted she sits watching wagging her tail, I pretend to paint her & when done she walks away chest out & tail up. She doesn't understand the concept of paint, but she enjoys it, so why not
Why do mime artists paint their faces?
The intent is to create a blank canvas of sorts that any character can be projected onto by eliminating the personal appearance of the performer. The mime becomes whomever they wish to be by acting out that role.The small accents are similar to the much larger and more colorful shapes used in a clown’s makeup design. They serve to project facial expressions to the audience by making them visible at longer distances.

Why is Aphrodite not so attractive in paintings/sculptures?
Like many Quora questions, this question contains an assertion: artistic depictions of the goddess Aphrodite do not express feminine beauty as well as they could. Quorans have answered by saying that beauty is subjective and that styles change. They offer many examples of Aphrodite/Venus, as the pinnacle of feminine beauty, throughout Western art. But I think this questioner makes a valid point when it comes to the ancient Greek depictions of Aphrodite.She’s not a bad looking dame by any means. But if we didn’t know who she was, we probably wouldn’t guess that she was THE personification of love and beauty. She’s a little too masculine by modern standards, with a plain-Jane face that is never expressive, never seductive. Compare her to this 11th century depiction of Parvati with Shiva:Anyone off the street could tell that this is a goddess of love. Parvati is always depicted as busty. She is often wearing lace or decorative beads. She is often very expressive. When standing she has a hip thrust out, or when sitting one leg akimbo. She puts Aphrodite to shame. To SHAME! …in my humble opinion. And if you think I’m asking too much of artists of the first millennium BCE, consider what these artists did with the male figure:A modern male gym-addict could not ask for a more perfect model to work toward. Yet ancient Aphrodite doesn’t look like our supermodels. Why?The ancient Greeks celebrated masculinity. Muscle power translated into political power. The Spartans believed that a strong, physically fit woman would give birth to a strong, physically fit man-child. So their women were put through rigorous physical training. Hence the goddesses Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, and so on are depicted as more manly than they should be by our standards.The celebration of the feminine as we know it would not begin until the rise of Medieval Christianity and ‘Mary worship’. The Son of God became a ‘prince of peace’, characteristically effeminate. So the Mother of God could afford to be more feminine. Here is Botticelli’s depiction of Venus with the three graces from the late 15th century:Much closer to our modern idea of feminine beauty.
If a girl gives me a painting of me drawn by her, what does it mean?
This happened to me a couple of months back. I was on my way to college when my friends called me asking me about how much longer would I take to reach. Now this was a very unusual behavior because they have never specifically done that before. When I reached, they all looked at me in a funny way as if they were eagerly waiting for me. They excitedly asked me to close my eyes. Well I thought they were playing some stupid prank so naturally I was hesitant. They somehow convinced me that it is a 'Surprise'. The surprise that I saw made my eyes pop out of my sockets ( maybe I am exaggerating but the point I am trying to make is that I was surprised beyond words ). Well, the surprise was that some guy ( or maybe a girl, you never know ) left me a sketch of my face. It was on point! And the even more shocking part was that he/she had not taken it from some already existing pictures or photographs but it seemed like it was just my face like s/he imagined me in his/her head. I was flattered. Completely. It was just recently that I found out who that person was. Turns out it was a guy from the next class who had a crush on me. He is insanely shy and very creative. I thanked him for taking such efforts to create a beautiful sketch. So there are two possibilities....many here already said that she might be shy and that she might like you so much that she put her best creative abilities to make you realize that.Or the other possibility is She is a fabulous and passionate artist and thought of you as an interesting subject to paint.But if she being anonymous and you have no idea who she is then it might be the former one. If you already know her then ASK HER! Whatever the case, be grateful and feel flattered. It is not everyday that you get your own painting :P
What is special about the Mona Lisa painting, and why is it so expensive?
Here’s a picture. Look at her straight on. Notice her smile.Doesn’t seem like much of one, does it? It kinda seems like she’s smiling, but … it’s reserved, formal, cold.Now, turn your head slightly, and give her a little side-eye. Did she smirk as you were looking away? It disappeared when you turned back towards her, didn’t it? Kinda feels like she’s toying with you, maybe flirting?Da Vinci used sfumato to achieve this effect - it’s layers of paint in order to create the shadows necessary for this trick. It’s intentional. And it utilizes a mind/eye trick to be successful. When humans look at things head on, we view things holistically, and our brains process images as whole concepts. But our peripheral vision pays attention to other details, like changes in motion and sensitivity to light - which is why your peripheral vision picks up on the shadows around her mouth, and make you think she’s smiling.Imagine the research and thought that Da Vinci must have put into making this possible in this one portrait. AND consider how it changes your perception of the character of this person. With a glance of side-eye, she changes from reserved, formal, and cold, to smiling, smirking, flirtatious perhaps? It is the depiction of how any woman in her position and time must have two faces, a public and a private persona.It’s hard to think of any other artist who could change the presentation of colors, light, and shadow through paint alone, in order to present two versions of the same subject, both visually and psychologically. Da Vinci’s unique talent is combining his technologically superior art with his knowledge of human anatomy. It’s incredible and this painting exemplifies it.Personal note: when I finally saw the Mona Lisa in person, I was struck by how lifelike her hands were. I couldn’t stop looking at her hands.
