Sister Corita Kent

Sister Corita Kent claimed that she was simply a printmaker.
Sister Corita Kent is famous Internationally due to her spiritual art and her commitment to social justice. Her designs speaks her expression towards society and government. She freely expressed all the things not by speech but by designs. She also ran and Art department at Heart College until 1968 and afterwards shifted to Boston, Back Bay.

She loved the idea that she could make original artwork for those who couldn't afford expense art. Everyday people could purchase them and enjoy them - the goal being to "give people a lift...more fun out of life." She created all kinds of prints - serigraphs, cards, posters, murals, billboards. Selling them at churches, galleries, corporations and more. This way her work was available to many people.

For her all the designs the freely used color and shapes speaks the voice of freedom. She used exuberant splashes of color to make her work introspective. In the 1960s her work incorporated more abstract colors, text, and shapes. Her work evolved to using words as imagery. This use of words as imagery become popular in Corita's work because of her interest in the urban environment of the '60s and its use of signage.

Filigree

Filigree is the delicate process of jewelry making with tine beads and strings of metal, generally gold and silver. They are soldered together or to the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs.

Its origins are in Asian and European countries. 

The art may be said to consist in curling, twisting and plaiting fine pliable threads of metal, and uniting them at their points of contact with each other, and with the ground. 


Filigree jewelry design, and its twisting and soldering techniques, have an application in other metal-work such as wrought iron hanging wall brackets and silertoned doors.

Indian Paneer Recipes...By Sanjeev Kapoor

Cooking has always made my day. Even on my worst days if i cook something it gives me immense pleasure.
Even though I am not a great cook... But i love whatever I cook even if it is just an experiment.
The first time I cooked, it was not at all god but still my parents ate that!

I have been following the cooking site of Sanjeev Kapoor. He is one of the best Chef of Indian Cuisine and also author of numerous best selling cook books.
