What would make the best canvas for a folk art piece that will feature many different materials? Included in this creation will be shingles, outdoor carpet, and possibly other materials. I assume the different attachments will be applied with glue so what would make the best canvas? I have seen plywood used as a canvas in some folk art in a local gallery, but that seems a bit too primitive.

I plan to be an art professor, in either art history or studio art. How many years of school would I need and what should I major in?

I have a lot of empty video game packages, because I cleaned my room and stuck all of my games in one of those binders. I **** to throw away piles of thin plastic boxes. Any ideas on recycling, maybe making an art project out of it or making it into something useful? I thought about taping them all together and making a big box or a little shelf, any other suggestions?

Im planning on becoming an art teacher for secondary schools and I was wondering if I would be eligible for the loan forgiveness program? I have the subsidized and unsubsidized loan.

I am homeschooler with a hug love for art. I am interested in pursuing it as a career even. I’ve only ever taken one professional art class in my life (a life drawing class) and I am kind of at a loss as to how I can get a good education in art while being home schooled.

I have to do a reproduction and write a paper about my selection on Impressionalism.
I chose Paris on a Rainy Day by Callebotte. I was wondering what the painting could mean and the significance of it. How could I interpret it?
Here it is http://www.artyfactory.com/perspective_drawing/artworks/Gustave_Caillebotte/images/paris_street_1.jpg
Thanks so much!!!

My 13yr old daughter is great at art. She has entered several art contests through the schools and have won in all of them. Her art teachers and alot of other people have commented on how great she is and how she needs to pursue this further, but nobody can tell us how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

My child entered an art contest with an anime style drawing and was accused of plagiarism as the judges were looking over the art. They have not produced the ‘original’ artwork they say my child copied and refuse to retract their statement of plagiarism.
It was in front of the others participating in the contest, and my child is 15 and was trying for a scolarship. I did not see them draw this paticular drawing, they were staying at their father’s when it was produced, but have seen them draw many like it.
