How do you make dry clay wet again?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what type of clay you are using. If you are using clay for pottery and such then you will need a kilm. If you are using air dry clay there are two ways for you to dry it faster if you are the impatient type or you have to have it dry as fast as you can for a project that is due soon. The first is to use a blow dryer. Use a low setting and keep it about four inches away from the clay. The second way is to dry it in a oven at 200 degrees. If you want the full directions on how to do both then look it up. There are many sights for your type of question. Good luck with your project.

What do you do after the clay have dried up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically, no. If it is a regular, water based clay, you can just add water if it gets too dry. Clay is porous, and will soak in that water and come back to a workable state over time. Just keep it in plastic. If you have created something and that gets to the bone dry state, it will be very difficult to get it back to workable consistency without breaking down the integrity of the piece.

Mixed media means just that: a piece of work, not made of just paint, or just pencil or just metal, but a combination of several materials. These may be any materials that the artist has chosen to use just then.

What is the importance of graphic aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It gives students and readers a better and clearerunderstanding of the material given to them without making them feel discouraged. It encourages them to reach for higher comprehension and learn more about the different aspects in pictures, maps, and photographs. This increases their concentration and determination to truly comprehend the information and apply them in different situations themselves. Instead of giving constant reading material to children, allowing students to study graphic aids is a better way to maintain their interests in a specific topic. Graphic aids are not only for young students to use for school, but people all over the world uses this technique to accomplish various tasks in their everyday lives.

Why do professionals use charcoal instead of pencils for sketching?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Regular school type pencils don't have the necessary graphite content to get very good contrast. The typical school pencil also doesn't have the longevity needed for art.

Artists use pencils to do their sketches and line variety and to work out ideas that can be easily erased. Regular #2 school pencils are great ways to begin your art! And if you get enough pencils together in one place, you might have enough wood and graphite to build yourself a nifty cool pencil sculpture! Pencils also create Lines.... the most basic element of art.

Pencils do not need to have graphite, pencils are nothing more than a tool to make a mark onto something. Ever go to the beach and draw in the sand with stick? Your stick was your pencil!

Where does pi comes from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pi is the ratio of the diameter of a circle to the circumference. It is used in various formulas, such as the area of a circle and the volume of a cone. It was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematicians. We are finding more and more digits of pi as technology advances, but we will never reach the end because pi is an irrational number.

What is the most watched person on Deviantart?

User Avatar

Asked by Shootingstar37654

1st October 2011-

RainCookie currently has 35 million pageviews, and received around 10,000 per day.

Ioulaum, currently standing at 42 million, is disqualified from achieving this title as he is well-known for deceiving deviantArt pageviews for his own benefit (in short, he hacks deviantArt to boost his pageviews by millions).

Although Ioulaum has more pageviews than RainCookie, he is not the most viewed deviant, as his pageviews were achieved artificially, whilst RainCookie gained hers naturally, or at least, we can assume that she did until further evidence is acquired.

Why did pop art use bright colours?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because he was a painter and liked bright colors. So did, and do, many other painters. Don't ask them WHY!

They stand out in front of other colours and to look more affective

by jade and sky xxx

Uhh,Why NOT ask why?? It's a way of trying to understand things. Not all painters use the colors they do just because they like colors. For some artists, the colors have a special meaning. I think Warhol tried to use some contrast between his subject matter and the colors he used on them. For instance, he did a silkscreen called "Electric Chair" in which the colors were red, blue, bright yellow, and even pink. When you think of electric chairs you don't think of pink, or any kind of brightness. I think a big reason for why he used bright colors is because he meant for the colors to have a bigger purpose than he just liked bright colors.

How old do you have to be to join deviantART?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Currently deviantART's compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (effective April 21st 2000) is limited to prohibiting any child under the age of 13 from opening, maintaining, or otherwise using a deviantART account. This restriction stands even when parental permission is granted.

"As we collect certain pieces of identifiable information and since a deviantART account allows a user to publicly display various types of personal and identifiable information (such as name, location and email information) we cannot allow children under the age of 13 to utilize an account at this point in time.

All accounts found to be used or maintained by a child under the age of 13 will be closed automatically and without notice when it is brought to the attention of the deviantART administration. Accounts closed in this fashion will be preserved until their user reaches the minimum required age of thirteen years old."
