I have a personal page and an artist page. Is it possible to link the artist page to the "music" tab on my personal page? Right now when I click that tab it leads to my artist profile on ilike rather than on facebook. Maybe they’re the same thing?

I think yes you can do this but you have to install some fan page application and that application is paid i think.

For an eight grade assignment next year, our gifted art class will be painting a piece of furniture of our choosing in the style of a 20th century artist of our choosing. I’m not farmiliar with any 20th century artist except for Jackson Polluck, but that’s too easy. Could you supply me with information on some 20th century artists an eight grade art student could imitate on a piece of furniture?
(Suggestions on where to get cheap furniture to paint are welcome)

Marcel DuChamp could work. He did things like take a bottle dryer (like a dish drainboard for bottles), put it on a table and say "it is Art".

Andy Worhol, again easy to mock. His pop art included a thoroughly realist painting of a Cambell’s soup can, Tomato.

This guy makes nice images with sand very artistic.

I’m hosting a variety show in November and I have a cello quartet that will be our featured artist. I was thinking of asking them to play fo 20 minutes or a little longer. Is there a standard amount of time a featured artist plays at a show with other acts in it?
It’s a 2 hour program, no contest, other musical acts along with comedy and poetry readings.

There are several items that can adjust the time.
How long is the total program?
Is the rest of the program a contest?
What is your audience?
Here are my suggestions. This is based on 90 minutes of program.
Open with the Quartet. A single selection 8-10 minutes.
Alternate styles of performances by the other acts for 30-35 minutes.
Quartet perform another 10 minutes.
Remaining acts alternating styles again for 30 minutes.
Cello Quartet closing with a single short selection.
If your audience is there to see the Quartet you could make their closer longer.
If it is a contest. The winners should be announced at the very end. Either way all performers should be brought back on stage as a group, not one at a time.

This question is for the artist community. Yeah, what does it take to become a great artist? Let’s suppose i paint 10 really really good masterpieces in my entire lifetime. Is that enough to make you a good renouned artist who will be remembered for ever? Or is it compulsory to dedicate your life to art and spend a lifetime doing countless good (or just good) paintings? Which of these two?

I would have to agree with both of them, BUT…

There are a few artists in the world whose talent is such that their art work is just spectacular.These people usually have a photographic mind of things around them. They are in a league of their own. BUT…unless they do anything with this talent they have, nobody will ever know they exist. Therefore, you must push yourself into getting your art out into the public for them to see. Unfortunately, this may lead to you working on those "good" paintings and never having the time to master your art disciplines.

Then there are artists who have been great, were okay with their artwork, but took a detour into another form of art. These are the iconic artists who made a niche for themselves. These are the "gimmick" artists who were known for specific art genres. I’m not going to name names because others may disagree with me, but I think you get the jest of it.

Why you picked the number 10 is beyond me. Da Vinci accomplished much in his life, but have you ever thought of all the things he never finished? Michelangelo wanted to be known as a sculptor, but he became known as an artist. Raphael only lived to be 37, but look at all he did in such a short lifetime. My point is, anyone who really wants to can become a well known artist as long as they work hard at it. It’s up to the individual to become great inside to know they are putting forth their best effort in what they do as an artist. To these people, it really doesn’t matter what others think as long as they are doing the best work they can do.

I recently saw the PBS episode of Craft in America- Landscape. One of the artists mentioned in passing that they were inspired by an artist who often painted women with long, flowing hair. They showed an example of that inspirational artist’s work and it was beautiful. What is the name of the artist of the painting?

Look up Art Nuveau, several artists there like ERTE for example.

I am already qualified as a certified makeup artist. I have done numerous test shoots and paid work. Where in the USA would be the best place to relocate?
What are the best makeup artist agencies in that location?

Definitely would look into LA and NYC. LA has lots of agencies that need people like you to do makeup for photo shoots, commercials, movies etc. Get together a porfolio of your work:)
