Elise Engler’s Everything They Let me Draw is rendered in colored
pencils and was done in response to a request. An art exhibition was
being held at a new York gallery and the organizers asked her to
participate. Her response to that request was a set of more than 150
drawings. All of the drawings were done directly on a wall of the
gallery.
Everything They Let me Draw can no longer be seen. The
artwork only existed for a brief time. The artist only intended to show
it as part of an exhibition and her work was removed when the show was
complete.
People who visited the exhibition would have recognized
the subject of her work. Elise Engler decided to draw inspiration (pun
intended) for her drawings from what she could see all around her. She
used her colored pencils to portray objects that were a regular part of
the infrastructure of a building. For example, one drawing is made of
electrical sockets.
Elise Engler is as famous for her drawings as printmaker Robert Blackburn in
his preferred medium. She copied paintings that interested her to match
the size of the other drawings in her piece. If there was an element in
a particular painting in the exhibition that she liked, she took it and
included it in her own work. The end result was a large collection of
drawings, neatly organized in rows and columns.
The
drawing at the bottom right corner of her piece is an image of an exit
sign. Near the top left corner, several animals sit, state or prepare to
pounce. Near the middle, two drawings of ants are strategically placed
so that the insects appear to be conversing.
Everything
They Let me Draw seems to be a reflection on the things that act as
inspiration for artists. It includes images of nature that would inspire
a photographer, and ordinary objects that a Minimalist artist would
want to work with. There are copies of completed paintings included
also. These remind us that artists often find inspiration by looking at
other works of art.

Dan Flavin Fluorescent Light- Untitled 1969 and Other Artwork
Dan Flavin embraced the same concepts that many artists of his time did.
He threw aside the idea of art as a form of self expression and
instead, focused on allowing viewers to enjoy the beauty of the
materials he used.
The 1960s was a time that was influenced by industry. Artists, like other members of society, are influenced by what they grow up with and what they see around them.
Minimalism- Concepts Associated with This Art Movement
Minimalist thought flourished during the 1960s. Artists embraced the idea that materials that were not previously thought of as artistic did have aesthetic value. Minimalism sought to bring out the beauty in everyday materials.
Dan Flavin- Working with Lights
Dan Falvin’s chosen medium was light bulbs. It always has been his preferred material. Many of us nowadays would be able to appreciate a beautifully sculpted bulb or a cleverly designed lamp. While he did look at light bulbs in this way at first, he soon started to look at new possibilities.
As time went on, Dan Flavin began to base his art on how light affected space and our perception of it. He used regular bulbs in his work and often, there was very little else in the installation.
His aim was not to bring a particular idea across. Instead, he wanted people who viewed his installations to enjoy the appearance of the space.
Dan Flavin Untitled
Dan Flavin’s most famous work is Untitled, done in 1969. This arrangement consists of four blue fluorescent light bulbs arranged in such a way that light reflects off the walls. When this happens, different shades of blue light are formed.
This artist's methods may seem simple when compared with those of an Impressionist painter, for example. However, the aim of artists associated with Minimalism was to allow each material they used to be recognized for its own beauty.

Review of The Official Wind Waker Strategy Guide - Legend of Zelda
The Official Wind Waker Strategy Guide is available through
Amazon.com and covers the strategies that Prima has put together over
the length of time that the game has been on the market. It is currently
available as a paperback book so if you prefer this format, that will
be a plus for you.
The book was written by Stephen Stratton and Bryan Stratton. Stephen Stratton has a lot of experience in writing guides for gamers and has also authored the Pokemon X and Y strategy guides, Mass Effect, Lego Star Wars III and many other guides. Bryan Stratton has authored numerous guides as well, including Doom 3, Mist 4, Mirro’s Edge and Super Mario Sunshine.
A giant poster is included in the guide and for people who like using charts in their strategy; this should be both useful and interesting to look at. It has lots of screenshots so you have a clear image to refer to when you face a problem. Lots of details are there to help you with all the side quests in the video game. You get information on items that are hidden all over the 49 islands and strategies on conquering the bosses.
The detailed information provided through dungeon maps, footnotes, etc. may be the book’s strongest point. If you are learning the game and want to improve, but only play occasionally, it will help you. However, if you are a gamer who wants to study something completely before you even start playing, this might not be the book for you. It is designed as more of a troubleshooting guide or a reference that people can use after they have encountered challenges in the game.
