It is prudent to consider how a conflict over Taiwan might unfold. Within military circles, there is growing fatalism and an almost dogmatic certainty that China will strike first and target both U.S. and Taiwanese forces simultaneously in a Pearl Harbor–style surprise attack, but is that the most likely or most dangerous possibility? 1
Chinese revisionism and designs for Taiwan could spur conflict that ranges from economic and political gray zone contests at one end to a massive preemptive conventional assault on the other. 2
Across the range of possibilities, if conventional war breaks out between the United States and China, any notion of a short war with defined off-ramps fought solely over Taiwan’s independence seems naïve. 3 The Chinese Communist Party has staked its legitimacy on reunification and stated it would “pay any price,” which points to the unlikely availability of off-ramps. 4 Several recent articles have pointedly noted that a fixation among the United States and its allies and partners on a “short, sharp war” could have disastrous consequences. 5 A reflexive desire to immediately surge forces into combat and win a rapid victory also is misaligned with current capabilities, risk tolerances, and escalation management principles. 6 Worse still, short-war thinking encourages misaligned force design decisions prior to conflict and risk management decisions during it. Stunning an enemy and killing him are two different things, and both the United States and China must consider what comes next after a first, violent clash. 7 Ample research suggests surprise attacks and/or large-scale aggression are highly likely to invoke the human psychology for revenge, leaving rational cost-based analysis by the wayside as the desire to strike back at all costs takes the forefront. 8
Force designs that champion speed and “decision advantage” as primary pillars of victory are custom-tailored to rely on high-risk, high-intensity engagements and small numbers of sophisticated, expensive, and exquisite capabilities. 9 Unfortunately, such an approach is fraught with the potential for disaster. High-risk, high-intensity combat is a double-edged sword: rapid escalation on one hand, and destruction of one’s own means to continue the conflict because of attrition on the other. Even if U.S. forces come out on top in fast-paced head-to-head engagements, their inability to reconstitute losses would give China an advantage and incentive to pursue protraction to “lose the battle, win the war.” If a nation still maintains the capability and will to fight, it is likely to do so. 10
Similarly, low-number, high-cost exquisite systems only have an advantage if a conflict is either asymmetric, and the enemy has no way to counter such systems, or short, and the systems prove decisive before their complete exhaustion. The inability to mass produce exquisite systems often renders them nearly impotent even before first use. Consider the effect of Russian hypersonic missiles in the war in Ukraine. 11 New technologies are influencing the way the Russia-Ukraine war is being fought, but neither hypersonic missiles nor drones have proved decisive or prevented the war from dragging on. Protraction in any form gives the advantage to a force designed for staying power.
Rather than focus on fast victory, the U.S. Sea Services should create an alternate strategy and complementary force design around capabilities that enhance strategic deterrence; provide response options that enable manageable escalation; and rely on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) designed to produce sustainable lethality while husbanding forces and minimizing risk. To achieve these outcomes would require investment in capabilities that can:
• Survive or rapidly recover from an initial strike
• Be optimized to support Taiwanese forces
• Create and maintain their own antiaccess/area-denial (A2/AD) zones
• Emphasize the support and execution of non-attributional kinetic and nonkinetic effects that manage escalation and incorporate allies and partners
• Provide a hedge for enabling and arming for long-term offensive power
The strategic aim of a U.S.-led response to a Chinese attempt to take Taiwan should be broad and play the long game. As a Rand Corporation study, U.S. Military Theories of Victory for a War with the People’s Republic of China , points out, “The more ambitiously the United States defines its war aims, the harder it will be to persuade China to accept defeat.” 12 Strategic objectives following a failure of deterrence should center on turning the catastrophe of war and preemption into a unified commitment to resist China’s revisionist agenda and severely damage its capacity as a global leader.
Time, after all, is not on China’s side. Its looming demographic collapse should point U.S. strategy toward allowing the Chinese Communist Party to hasten its ultimate failure through its global belligerence. 13 This slower strategy would be preferable to meeting China on its terms, in its preferred battle space, and under its timetables. Instead, there would be no strikes on mainland China, no battles with tens of thousands of service members killed on both sides, and no opportunities for China to land a knock-out blow to the U.S. military, which would reduce the risk of massive conventional or even nuclear escalation. Under such circumstances, it is hard to imagine how China could turn even a total occupation of Taiwan into the fait accompli military writers so often warn of.
For a country that already spends more on internal security and population-control measures than military defense, old-school realpolitik tactics such as funding and supporting internal and external resistance groups and competitors would yield outsized results. 14 Thinking about future conflict with China through this lens produces a different set of priorities for force structures, tactics, and technology. As Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr. has written, “A strategy designed to convince a rival it cannot win a protracted war entails convincing it that it cannot win a short war.” 15 The objective then, is convincing China that the United States does not accept even the possibility of a fait accompli and that, under any initiating circumstances, China can expect irreversible long-term damage, protracted military resistance, and geopolitical and economic ruin.
The Tools Required
There are capability gaps that urgently need to be filled to enable this strategy. Fortunately, many options to do so are already funded.
The cornerstone of a counterstrike and counter-A2/AD strategy is persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) coupled with long-range targeting. The development of many capabilities is well underway and organized loosely under the Joint All-Domain Command and Control program, and the United States can achieve this goal, but doing so will require: additional funding—agreed on and spent ; standardization; and training for emerging C5ISRT capabilities.
The main deficits in this area are not hardware or software. If anything, the legions of software suites, unmanned systems prototypes, and ISRT tools provide the perfect case study in “too much of a good thing.” Service-specific solutions to strategic problems have produced a barrage of software and systems with few clear leaders, limited standardization, and no time to train or fully implement them. The Department of Defense does not need dozens and dozens of varying versions of the same thing. It needs a few working models and time to get them into the hands of the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen who will employ them in combat. Many amazing capabilities are being tested and fielded in small numbers. Pick the most promising to be iteratively upgraded and improved. Invest heavily in the winners and put all the others on program life support or pull the plug.
The C5ISRT that is the foundation of the future force ultimately depends on kinetics to operationalize it. Numerous Proceedings articles have argued that the United States needs to prioritize weapons. 16 Production of long-range precision-strike capabilities, torpedoes, and surface-to-air missiles must be kicked into overdrive—starting a decade ago. Vastly more important than another fifth-generation aircraft or new class of warship, massively enlarged stockpiles of these weapons are required, as is immediate funding to maturity and fielding of all the near-future weapons. The containerization of these weapons already being planned and demonstrated would allow them to be more distributed, survivable, and scalable in any protracted conflict and, if such weapons are provided to proxies, would enable additional elements of escalation management through deniability. The combination of a common federated C5ISRT capability and adaptable mobile weapon systems will allow rapid force generation, if required, through existing land- and sea-based platforms.
For a counter-A2/AD strategy employing concepts such as distributed maritime operations, expeditionary advanced base operations, and littoral operations in a contested environment, the Sea Services also need better enablement at scale. Construction battalions, construction equipment, and mobile versions of all the items required to create, repair, and sustain temporary bases, airfields, and port facilities need to be prioritized, funded, and stockpiled. Current bases in the Pacific also need to be vastly improved and hardened to provide increased survivability and alternate and contingency operational modes.
The defeatism that often accompanies discussion of the defense of bases and airfields on Guam and Okinawa is too pessimistic. Yes, those locations are within range of enemy fires, but permanently cratering an airfield and destroying facilities is hard. Despite being at the receiving end of the largest missile barrages since World War II, Ukraine’s combination of mobility, deception, and training significantly mitigated the effectiveness of Russian attacks. 17 Hardened expeditionary bases and rapid repair capabilities would provide sustained enablement for a strategy that focuses, first, on strategic deterrence—by reducing the possibility of China being able to deliver a knockout blow—and, second, on maintaining the capability to endure.
What Is Not Needed (For Now)
To move out on producing the necessary tools, the Sea Services must free themselves from the burden of unnecessarily exquisite and expensive weapon systems of many types. While the Navy is certainly “divesting to invest,” nascent future capabilities and technology have been overhyped. 18 Hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence–enabled next-generation unmanned loyal wingman platforms may be the future, but they are not the immediate future. To deter or defeat an increasingly revisionist and belligerent China, those programs should be placed on the back burner while more immediate and readily available priorities take the lead.
Improving the Tools We Have
Last comes the category of forces and capabilities already in place but that perhaps need some innovation and creativity to redefine their purpose in a future great power conflict—the reimagined tools and those that have gotten back to basics. The Navy’s surface forces need to focus less on dramatic, high-risk maneuver offense and more on securing sea lines of communication, prosecuting antisubmarine warfare, and carrying out escort duties, blockades, and maritime interdiction outside China’s primary weapons engagement zones. Risk-managed offensive raids may still be required, but they should be viewed as contingency operations for most conventional surface forces.
Carrier strike groups need to transform into mobile command-and-control nodes and area air-defense providers that can linger outside most weapons engagement zones indefinitely. The air wings, enabled by expeditionary advanced bases, should plan and practice conducting very-long-range maritime strikes through dynamic multiday missions. Enabling this capability will require innovative thinking on all the small details, such as mobile access to classified networks and communications, mission planning, and prebased maintenance teams. Paired with long-range Air Force fighter and strike aircraft, Navy maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, and Air Force strategic lift as long-range maritime-strike multipliers, the joint force would wield a potent ability to strike Chinese forces.
The remaining strategy must rely on in-place forces and the “hedge force” nearer to the fight, some of which can act in ways that might not be readily attributable—undersea and irregular warfare forces, for example. These more survivable forces will need to stand in for large traditional surface-action groups that cannot—and should not—be expected to close within range to conduct force-on-force naval brawls. 19 Submarines, special forces, multidomain task forces, and Marines will pair with U.S. A2/AD systems and long-range strike capabilities to provide a sting designed to last but unlikely to culminate existentially—in catastrophic escalation. These forces also provide more realistic avenues for allies and partners to support U.S. forces by virtue of their un- or less attributable nature. By avoiding the possibility of a knockout blow, any aggressor would be forced to grapple with another way out of the conflict. If China were to push outside its purpose-built A2/AD zone to force decisive battle, it would instantly find itself playing against the U.S. military’s greatest strengths and outside the support of the A2/AD system it spent decades developing.
The Evolution in Military Affairs
These concepts are evolutionary, not particularly novel. They prioritize risk management, husband conventional forces for protraction, and slow the potential for escalation by avoiding large-scale destruction on either side. This is the strategy version of “no fast hands in the cockpit,” a saying among aviators that highlights that, during an in-flight emergency, often the worst thing an aviator can do is overreact by moving too quickly.
Few nations would willingly start a war they knew would soon descend into protraction. Casting doubt on even the possibility of a short war for Taiwan would have an outsized deterrent effect. To accomplish this, the United States must strengthen and diversify presence, protect its forces, and display a credible offensive and defensive capability. This slower, more measured strategy is complemented by the ticking clock of geopolitical danger for China and helps ensure the United States does not risk more than it should in the early stages of a fight.
Achieving the right mix of capabilities, forces, and posture to maximize strategic deterrence and prevail in any potential conflict is the most urgent challenge the U.S. military faces. Most of the necessary tools are available now, and dedicated leaders and policy-makers are making headway unifying the joint force. Military leaders must guard against preparing only for the perceived worst-case scenario or the siren call of a short war and instead design a force mindful of escalation and protraction and prepared to excel across the continuum of conflict. Many of the tools needed are neither flashy nor expensive, but they must be prioritized. Details such as data standards and TTPs should be better defined and enforced across the future-looking tools the joint force needs, and innovative TTP development and better enablement should continue rapidly to help reimagine the tools the Sea Services already have.

“But in actuality, as we all know, things as they are and as they have been, in the arts as in a hundred other areas, are stultifying, oppressive, and discouraging to all those, women among them, who did not have the good fortune to be born white, preferably middle class, and above all, male. The fault lies not in our stars, our hormones, our menstrual cycles, or our empty internal spaces, but in our institutions and our education–education understood to include everything that happens to us from the moment we enter this world…”
Nochlin goes in-depth to point out women’s part in art history. She focuses on unjust opportunities presented to women compared to their male peers, labeling it the “Woman Problem.” This problem demands a reinterpretation of the situation’s nature and the need for radical change. She persuades women to see themselves as equal subjects deserving of comparable achievements men receive.
Throughout her essay, she delves into the institutional barriers that prevented women from reaching the heights of famous male art icons.
“Art is the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects that can be shared with others. It involves the arranging of elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions and acts as a means of communication with the viewer as it represents the thoughts of the artist.”
The author defines art as a medium to connect with others and an action. She focuses on Jamaican art and the feelings it invokes. She introduces Osmond Watson, whose philosophy includes uplifting the masses and making people aware of their beauty – he explains one of his works, “Peace and Love.”
“But I’ve felt this way before, especially with my art. And my experience with artmaking has taught me how to get through periods of struggle. My art has taught me to accept where I am today… My art has taught me that whatever marks I make on the page are good enough… My art has taught me that the way through struggle is to acknowledge, accept and share my struggle.”
Nishiyama starts her essay by describing how writing makes her feel. She feels pressured to create something “great” after her maternity leave, causing her to struggle. She says she pens essays to process her experiences as an artist and human, learning alongside the reader. She ends her piece by acknowledging her feelings and using her art to accept them.
“I was saying that sometimes I feel sorry for wild animals, out there in the dark, looking for something to eat while in fear of being eaten. And they have no ballet companies or art museums. Animals of course are not aware of their lack of cultural activities, and therefore do not regret their absence.”
Padgett recounts telling his wife how he thinks it’s unfortunate for animals not to have cultural activities, therefore, can’t appreciate art. He shares the genetic mapping of humans being 99% chimpanzees and is curious about the 1% that makes him human and lets him treasure art. His essay piques readers’ minds, making them interested in how art elevates human life through summoning admiration from lines and colors.
“One of the first questions raised when talking about art is simple — why should we care? Art, especially in the contemporary era, is easy to dismiss as a selfish pastime for people who have too much time on their hands. Creating art doesn’t cure disease, build roads, or feed the poor.”
Because art can easily be dismissed as a pastime, the author lists why it’s precious. It includes exercising creativity, materials used, historical connection, and religious value.

9 Prompts on Essays About Art
After knowing more about art, below are easy prompts you can use for your art essay:
Is there an art piece that caught your attention because of its origin? First, talk about it and briefly summarize its backstory in your essay. Then, explain why it’s something that made an impact on you. For example, you can write about the Mona Lisa and her mysterious smile – or is she smiling? You can also put theories on what could have happened while Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
Rather than focusing on mainstream arts like ballet and painting, focus your essay on unconventional art or something that defies usual pieces, such as avant-garde art. Then, share what you think of this type of art and measure it against other mediums.
How did art change over the centuries? Explain the differences between ancient and modern art and include the factors that resulted in these changes.
Are you an artist? Share your creative process and objectives if you draw, sing, dance, etc. How do you plan to be better at your craft? What is your ultimate goal?
To do this prompt, pick two countries or cultures with contrasting art styles. A great example is Chinese versus European arts. Center your essay on a category, such as landscape paintings. Tell your readers the different elements these cultures consider. What is the basis of their art? What influences their art during that specific period?
Like the previous prompt, write an essay about similar pieces, such as books, folktales, or paintings. You can also compare original and remake versions of movies, broadway musicals, etc.
Pick a piece you want to know more about, then share what you learned through your essay. What did the art make you feel? If you followed creating art, like pottery, write about the step-by-step process, from clay to glazing.
Visual analysis is a way to understand art centered around what the eyes can process. It includes elements like texture, color, line, and scale. For this prompt, find a painting or statue and describe what you see in your essay.
Since art is a broad topic, you can narrow your research by choosing only the most significant moments in art history. For instance, if you pick English art, you can divide each art period by century or by a king’s ruling time. You can also select an artist and discuss their pieces, their art’s backstory, and how it relates to their life at the time.

While it may seem easy to compose essays about art, it’s not really so because you have to offer background information in your introduction part and explain why some exhibition or a school of thought is important. This should go to your first paragraph because your purpose is to inspire your readers and provide enough background information. When you already have a prompt that must be followed, determine what kind of essay must be written. It can be a descriptive essay, which is great for a description of the works of art or photography. Some other cases may require working with an explanatory tone where you have to explain why an artist has chosen certain palettes or what has been an inspiration. See various free art essay examples below for inspiration. It also helps to learn how to structure your writing and implement quotes or footnotes that are used to highlight the images. Remember to focus on the ways how to cite images and multimedia elements, depending on the chosen style. Your writing should address every image that you have by checking twice with the grading rubric to ensure that you use the sources that may have already been specified.

By Meredith Blechman
March 12, 2013
The status of fashion within the sphere of fine art has long been the subject of debate. There have been designers who identified themselves first and foremost as artists, such as Elsa Schiaparelli, who declared in her autobiography that she regarded dress design not as “a profession, but an art.” By contrast, many prominent designers of the present day reject this position—including Miuccia Prada, Karl Lagerfeld, and Marc Jacobs—instead viewing fashion and art as their own separate, if highly complementary, realms. In fact, Yves Saint Laurent considered there to be such a gulf between the two fields that he once lamented that, despite his legendary accomplishments as a couturier, “I am a failed painter.”
In 1983, this occasional dispute was brought to the forefront of art criticism and scholarship when the Metropolitan Museum of Art 's Costume Institute mounted a 25-year retrospective of Saint Laurent's designs. Displaying the iconic clothes in the same manner and context as masterpieces by Picasso, Monet, and Pollock angered many critics, who were forced to question whether an “applied” or “decorative” art should be elevated to the same platform as fine art.
From one point of view, the main differences between fashion and art could be found in their utility and temporality. Fashion is constrained by certain factors, including wearability and the specific contours of the human body, for instance. It has a clear commercial value, priced as a cross-function of the cost of goods and brand perception. Fashion is ever-evolving, frequently changing based on trends. Those considerations, one could argue, keep fashion distinct from art, in which economic considerations in general are seen as much less important—art is created regardless of its eventual economic value (or lack there of). And the nonutility of art is a key differentiator from fashion, as is the fact that its value increases over time.
Just as fashion is following art, art, too, is steadily adopting characteristics typical of fashion. As art economist Claire McAndrew noted in her book The Art Economy , “no matter how highly valued art is in society, there is no escaping the fact that it is produced, bought, and sold by individuals and institutions working within an economic framework inescapable from material and market constraints,” a fact that is largely a byproduct of an increasingly global art market. Artists today have become brand names, with many investors looking less at the aesthetic or formal qualities of an artwork and instead examining an artist’s sales history and “brand value.”
In turn, many contemporary artists (like, most famously, Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami ) have made art's function as a market commodity a core aspect of their work. Leveraging their brand identities, artists have often partnered with fashion designers to create wildly popular clothing collaborations, such as Murakami's Louis Vuitton bags. And anyone who doesn't believe that art follows trends has never toured an art fair, where common approaches to a perceived opening in art history often lead to a profusion of similar objects made by artists all over the world. (Just see our trend report from Armory Week to discover a couple of these .)
When considering the changing dynamics of the art and fashion worlds—particularly over the past 50 years—the distinctions between fashion and art in the traditional sense become almost nonexistent. So... fashion is clearly art, right? Well, in my view, not quite. Fashion and art share more of a symbiotic relationship, as two different means of creative self-expression that profit from frequent interchange. There is no doubt that fashion demands a rightful place in the museum, and should be valued for its contribution to our visual culture. Fashion shows today are so elaborate and conceptual that it's difficult not to consider them a form of performance art, and I would be hard-pressed to dispute anyone who declared that certain haute-couture looks from avant-garde designers like Viktor & Rolf, Hussein Chalayan, and Alexander McQueen are true works of art.
Yet, the intrinsic difference between fashion and art remains, namely as it relates to utility—just as there is a distinction between design, where an object is created to fulfill a functional need, and art, where artworks largely fulfill non-functional (spiritual, for instance) needs. There's a reason fashion designers are called "designers," after all. Karl Lagerfeld may have put it best: “Art is art. Fashion is fashion. However, Andy Warhol proved that they can exist together.”

Maximum Bidding
Every bid submitted is treated as a maximum bid. You should always bid the maximum you are willing to spend for a work, though this does not necessarily mean you will pay that price. As the auction unfolds, we will increase your bid by increments to ensure you remain the highest bidder. If the winning amount is less than your maximum bid, you will pay the current increment. If your maximum bid no longer exceeds the current bid, you will receive an outbid notification email, and have the option to bid again.
In the case of multiple bidders placing the same maximum bid, the first person to place the maximum amount takes precedence as the highest bid until another bidder exceeds the maximum amount.

Explore The Worlds Best Paper Brands
Posted by Cass Art Staff on 11th Nov 2021
The history of Strathmore began on St. Patrick’s Day in 1892 when its founder, Horace Moses, opened the Mittineague paper mill in West Springfield, MA. Soon after opening the first mill, Mr. Moses visited the Valley of Strathmore in Scotland. The thistle was in full bloom and the beauty of the site impressed Horace Moses so much that he started using the name and the thistle as a symbol of high-quality art and printing papers. The Strathmore brand name began to appear on our fine art papers in 1899, first with Charcoal and soon after with Bristol. The Strathmore brand quickly became known as one of the highest quality art papers used by many leading artists around the world. Strathmore has kept this reputation as a supplier of fine art paper for over a century.
Today, Strathmore continues to provide artists of all levels with the ideal surface for producing beautiful works of art. Throughout the years, leading artists such as Norman Rockwell, Andrew Wyeth and today’s Heather Rooney have appeared in testimonial ads for Strathmore. They have associated their name with the Strathmore brand because it has provided them with the ideal surface for creating lasting works of art. The symbol of the thistle may have taken on a different appearance throughout the years, but the quality of Strathmore Artist Papers has remained second to none.

They know how to combine tradition with innovation, know-how with creativity, hard work with passion, to ensure the sustainability of their heritage.
The brand's commitments: loyalty, innovation and sustainability.
Bockingford Watercolour Paper
St Cuthberts Mill are experts in manufacturing high quality artists papers. Their master papermakers carefully make beautiful mould made papers, using one of the few remaining cylinder mould machines left in the world. St Cuthberts Mill has been making paper since the 1700's, taking advantage of the pure waters of the River Axe in the southwest of England. We produce papers that are designed for all your creative needs. Highly recommended by both amateur and professional creatives, their papers appeal to artists for their purity and distinction.

Their Printmaking papers (Somerset) are rated extremely highly, and printmakers use them for letterpress, screen printing, lino printing, etching, and other techniques. All these processes are enhanced by our Somerset paper’s distinct strength and quality.
Canson Papers
Since it was founded in 1557 by the Montgolfier family, Canson has always been close to artists of all ages, beginners or professionals, unknown or famous, but all with a passion for art. With over 450 years' experience, we have unique expertise and know-how. Canson's goal is to offer all artists high-quality products which inspire them and give them confidence. Its development and destiny are intertwined with the history of France and the history of Art.
Rooted in tradition, Canson respects this heritage and its duty to always provide consumers with outstanding paper. From the famous hot-air balloon with its paper envelope rising into the air for the first time in 1782, to white or coloured drawing paper, tracing paper, paper for oil or acrylic and the exceptional paper of Canson® Heritage Watercolour or paper for digital photography, Canson is constantly making the creative adventure accessible to everyone.
Over the generations, the greatest artists and creators used Canson papers : Delacroix, Van Gogh, Degas, Matisse, Picasso, Dali, Warhol, Jean-Michel Alberola , Barthélémy Toguo, Philippe Starck, Yan Pei-Ming... special bonds have been created with them, going so far as custom-made designs for them, as with Ingres and Maillol, or by investing strongly in them to bring them support and visibility.
Daler-Rowney Ebony
Daler-Rowney's history started when The George Rowney Company was established in 1783 when Richard and Thomas Rowney opened premises in London. Initially the business was established as selling perfumes and wig powder, before focussing their manufacturing expertise towards the development of artists’ colours. The business flourished and developed into one of the world’s most prestigious and widely distributed brands. 200 years later in 1983 the George Rowney Company was purchased by the Daler Board Company and became, as it is known today, as Daler-Rowney Limited.
Daler-Rowney is particularly proud to continue the long heritage of manufacturing in the United Kingdom, based in the South of England. Daler-Rowney has a worldwide reputation for artists' colours, brushes and the finest papers for drawing, sketching, pastel and watercolour work. Daler-Rowney papers embrace the demanding needs of the artist and support them fully with acid free papers which will not discolour over time, remaining true to the original artists’ colours.
The correct surface can have a dramatic effect on a finished piece of work. The coarseness or ‘tooth’ of a drawing paper has a direct effect on an image created using pencil or charcoal. Successful works in soft pastels rely on the interweave of the paper fibres to hold the unbound pigments on the surface. The demanding techniques of watercolour painting require high performance papers, specially sized to accept colour accurately and speedily but also withstand repeated applications of washes. Daler-Rowney papers embrace the demanding needs of the artist and support them fully with acid free papers which will not discolour over time, remaining true to the original artists’ colours.

Australian designed and made women’s clothing
Essaye is the off-shoot clothing label of Surface Art which is best known for producing Australian-designed and Australian-made homewares and original screen-printed fabrics.
I created the Essaye women’s clothing label when the Surface Art A-line skirts, tunic dresses and tees started to take centre stage over the homewares and by-the-metre fabrics.
Simple designs that are clever with colour and form
Essaye clothing is about simple designs that are clever with colour and form. Essaye is unapologetically a “clothing” not a “fashion” label. Essaye is built around some staple styles that have proven popular with loyal Essaye customers year upon year - with some style variations added with each range. The clothing is made to last, so it can be worn and loved season after season. Essaye is an alternative to fast fashion, you could say it is “slow fashion”.
The clothing is made primarily from natural fibres; most are 100% cotton fabrics with some linens, and perhaps a small percentage of spandex to provide stretch and form.
Essaye ranges with original prints and complementary plains
There are two seasonal Essaye clothing ranges each year, spring/summer and autumn/winter. With each range, I introduce new original prints and complementary plains. My prints are inspired by nature, art and design movements, 1950s retro, Scandi design, and everyday objects, such as a patterned plate.
Wear season after season and all year round
Essaye also maintains an all-year-round, AYR, range which showcases perennially favourite prints and styles. The AYR range is curated bi-annually.
Many styles layer well. Add some tights and a long sleeve knit top under a tunic dress for those cooler days, and team with a woolly cardigan or your favourite jacket and boots.
Original digital and screen printed fabrics
Essaye is now producing digitally printed fabrics in addition to screen printed fabrics. Digital printing uses less dyes and pigments than screen printing, and less energy and chemicals than preparing screens, and there is no need to wash screens.
Digital printing has enabled Essaye to offer a wider range of fabric types, as well more colours in the designs.
Essaye will continue to produce a selection of original screen-printed fabrics as the screen-printing technique offers some advantages over digital printing; the ink is applied more thickly and colours are more vivid and more durable. Screen printing is also better suited to printing placement prints on dark tees, tops and skirts.
Dresses, skirts, tees, tops and pants
Essaye ranges regularly include printed dresses, plain dresses, A-line skirts, denim skirts , placement print tees, plain tees and tops, and pants. Wear Essaye with your wardrobe staples or find complete outfits to mix and match.
Australian made women's clothing
When you buy Essaye you support Australian industry; the screen printing and making happens in the local neighbourhood. Essaye is committed to making garments in Australia. Read more about Surface Art, Essaye and Theadora Jones Sustainability and Ethics.

Art Essay Writing Guide
By: Henrique Bertulino
Art Essay is a job that has primarily aesthetic or entertaining value. This term most often uses when referring to literary jobs. A literary and artistic career has primarily aesthetic or fun value. Thus, they are opposed to documentary or scientific positions, because, for the latter, the principal is cognitive value.
What Is an Art Essay?
What is a short art essay, choose your art topic, research your claims, provide visual analysis, offer clear analysis, how to start your art essay, and what to include, the body of your art essay, how to conclude your art essay, art essay topics examples, art essay outline example, general information, brief description, describe art elements, describe principles of design, opinions and conclusions.
The specificity of art jobs is that they often tell about events that seem to have taken place in a fictional world, with fictional characters. Sometimes a job of craft tells about people who exist or existed, but at the same time, the author of such an action can add fictional details.
The essay's concept is a unit of which concept defines as pictures, thoughts, and experiences that arise in the reader's imagination during the text's perception. All job aims at analyzing the situation of art through a system of images.
The artwork is a kind of art that shows us about the world in the form of poems, paintings, books. In scientific and artistic careers, cognitive information reveals through the plot, characteristics of illustrations, events, phenomena, and years of creation.
In terms of genre and thematic diversity, it is stories, cognitive tales, natural phenomena, historical events, outstanding personalities, discoveries in various fields of knowledge. Work with this text format aims to develop students' ability to find cognitive information, identify essential features, establish cause-and-effect relationships, and so on.
Art is a complex combination of artistic and professional qualities that determine the painter's job in literature. Art is directly related to creative freedom, originality, taste, a sense of proportion of the author in covering the topic.
The painter's process and the principles of each painter's art are based on life's realities. However, a creative idea is not limited to one fact, even if it is incredibly significant. The painter generalizes a specific phenomenon, distinguishes it from similar ones.
A high-level professional achieves the desired result due to thorough training, multiplied by the daily job - this is the highest manifestation of the craft embodied. A position of art is a complex unity of components that interconnect into a harmonious whole.
The work's ideological content finds its expression through a system of illustrations, which acts as its form, and the type of illustrations, in turn. With the help of the author's word, the student conveys the hero and the author language, which allows them to express the attitude to the world, to give it an assessment.
How Do You Write an Art Essay?
The author and the narrator's coincidence, bright and free expression of the author's "I."
Linguistic means are a way to convey the narrator's artistic image, emotional state, and mood.
The use of stylistic figures in the text includes metaphors, comparisons, metonymy, emotionally expressive vocabulary, and phraseological units. Create an art history research paper outline for convenience in the topic.
Versatility - the use of linguistic means of other styles (colloquial, journalistic) subordinate to the implementation of a creative intention. From these combinations, what is called the author's style is gradually formed.
Use of verbal polysemy - words are chosen to not only "draw" illustrations and put a hidden sense into them.
The artistic style aims to convey the author's emotions and create a mood and emotional mood in the reader.
It is important to pay sufficient attention to writing. It is good to write on any topic for a literature essay, and then a good grade is provided. It would help if you navigated in general directions; in this case, any item will be within our reach.
In addition to the ability to draw up a plan and express your thoughts, it is also essential to get acquainted with various literary jobs: to read. Compare and contrast essay topics on literature are closely related to literary jobs and require reading them.
You will need to refer to the characters and argue with facts from domestic and world writers' specific jobs. Read as much as possible, and then writing essays will not be a problem. Over time, the experience of presenting thoughts on a research paper in a structured form appears, then, on the contrary, any topic is understandable.
Avoid general wording. If the job talks about treason, this does not mean that this example will fit any topic of the direction. Claims must confirm the thesis, and the argument will answer the question of the definition of the concept.
You can use one claim, but in this case, it is necessary to give a full parsing of the job within the framework of the topic. It would help if you did not overload the essay with literary arguments, either for typing words or getting a good grade. As a rule, this only leads to disastrous consequences.
Use only the research work that you have read to support the thesis to avoid factual errors. Don't retell the piece. Parsing and your reasoning are needed. Each claim should support your argument, so the topic should make micro-conclusions.
There are many types of text analysis: linguistic, lexical, stylistic, literary. The latter includes reviews of a lyric job and a report of a prose job. In addition to a holistic parsing, it is possible to single out such types of parsing as parsing of a separate episode, characterization of a hero, group characteristics of heroes, comparative aspects of two heroes, two jobs, parsing of decorative details (portrait, landscape).
All of these types of parsing need to be taught to students. But at the same time, one should not forget that the study's task is not to disassemble a literary job in sections. Mainly the mission is to facilitate an in-depth reading of the research text.
It doesn't have to be meaningless. Deep meaningfulness is the first and foremost requirement for parsing and its indispensable conditions. Thus, the report must always assume a goal.
In a lesson, we give students an assignment: find in the story a plot, a climax, a denouement. What is the teacher for this assignment? If this is a lesson where the concept of "composition" is first introduced. And its purpose is to give an idea of the composition of a story and teach how to find elements of writing; then, such task justify.
If the teacher gave this task to highlight the compositional elements, then the job will already be meaningless, formal. To subordinate the parsing to the goal means studying the situation's aspects to understand its content and meaning.
These goals must relate to the matter's essence, leading deep into the essay writer's inner world. It is essential to reveal through parsing what would have gone unnoticed without it.
Structure of the Art Essay and Its Features
The structure of the essay consists of three required elements: introduction, body, and conclusion. The absence of one of the article's composition elements is considered a mistake and taken into account in the assessment.
It is challenging to write the introduction and conclusion. The presentation's function is to introduce a topic and give preliminary, general information about the problem behind the proposed issue. The end goal is to summarize, summarize what said, complete the research text, and draw attention to the most important thing.
The most common flaws when writing an introduction and conclusion:
presentation of general information that is not directly related to the topic;
expression of one's enthusiastic attitude towards job or author, one's desire to be like the author or hero;
very long, protracted introduction.
The introduction should not contain all the information we know about the author and his job. The presentation can introduce the topic and parsing of the post.
The introduction may contain an answer to the question asked in the topic. Your opinion can present if the title of the issue includes a reference to the applicant's view. A fact from the biography of the author of a literary job can give. Or a feature of the historical period can be characterized if this information is essential for the subsequent parsing of the text.
There is no one type, perfect, an excellent introduction that would fit any topic. The presentation, like the rest of the essay, is written individually. You don't need to go into long arguments right away. First, formulate those problematic questions that can answer in line with your topic.
The central section of the essay is parsing a literary job in the aspect set by the theme. The main thing to avoid when writing the main body is to retell a literary task. Retelling the storyline instead of interpreting the idea, supported by references to the job's relevant episodes, lacks content, leading to a decrease in the score.
The nature of the topic determines the content and composition of the central section of the essay. The general principles can summarize in short:
the reasoning should be strictly subordinate to the topic in question;
the selected literary material (if the article is written not one at a time, but according to several jobs) must accurately correspond to the topic (its excess or incompleteness will be a lack of the essay);
parity should observe between the general provisions, forward theses and comments, and examples from the job's text in the piece.
The essay ends with a conclusion. The main requirement for the completion: it should not be purely formal. The teacher reading the project should not doubt its necessity. The conclusion should organically link to the previous presentation.
In conclusion, it is sometimes appropriate to give an overview of all the points you understood in the central section. Especially if the topic required various material or a long chain of evidence. In conclusion, the writer's attitude to the job, it's heroes, and the problem can express.
It must start correctly that without affectation, excessive enthusiastic assessments have a clearly expressed definite sense and must prepare by the central part's material. Otherwise, it would help if you refrained from expressing your opinion. Many students are looking on the Internet - write my essay for me cheap , if you still do not have time to write in person, then use these services.

Introduction:
invitation to the conversation;
definition of the topic (problem) of the text;
author's presentation;
transition to the central section, connection with it.
The next stage is to reflect the position of the author of the text on the highlighted problem. This can sum up in one phrase. How does the author answer this question?
Your point of view may coincide with the author's point of view, which may differ from it. To say, "I agree/disagree with the author" is not enough. It is required to bring two arguments. If you provide the same case as the author himself, it does not count.
A significant conclusion is a big minus, which says that you cannot summarize your thoughts. The introduction and conclusion should not be more than 25% of the entire job. Schematically, your composition should be similar to the shape of a circle, should be closed.
Guidelines for Analysis of Art in Your Essay
Outline of a written analysis of the artwork:
What kind of job are we talking about? Author, title, years, collection, technique, pages. There is no need to retell the biography. For brainstorming, do creative writing exercises .
The purpose and objectives of the job. What and why are you writing it? Why are these jobs chosen? How exactly will the parsing be done? What is this parsing for? Why is it necessary to compare practices?
In each of the subsections, a relationship made between the formal reception and the image. In the comparison, the description and parsing go sequentially (the second job compare with the first) or in parallel.
Repetition of the main conclusions regarding the image this is the sense of the job. Answering the questions above, one can define a position of art, mastering a variety of thinking skills. The artist breaks out of the framework of his horizons.
When writing your essay, give your definition of "art." Explain why this is how you define the concept. Give two examples to support your reasoning. One example should be from a literary text, and the second example can be from life.
Here general information depends on the quality of assimilation and the speed of understanding the text. The continually growing volume of information forces schoolchildren and students to work with documents and adults. Highlighting the main idea quickly will allow you to reduce the time spent on reading.
The main body of the text is what the text creates. What the author approves, what denies, what he warns against. The text has a title, which expresses its topic or main idea. The author gradually reveals the text's topic: he moves from one part of the problem to another.
Describe what you see in the picture in your own words. You can use epithets, comparisons. Pay attention not only to the main details but also to the secondary ones. Let the picture come to life, become understandable and close.
It's always interesting to know why the author chose this particular plot. Perhaps the ever dreamed of writing something like that, or the idea came suddenly, as an inspiration? Was there an incident or the artist was in a non-standard life situation? Maybe age or surroundings played an important role?
Sometimes pictures are written in just a few hours and become famous. Sometimes it takes decades to write a canvas. Describe all jobs using this algorithm. Sometimes the plot depicted seems not very attractive, but some fantastic stories connect with the picture itself.
First, you need to choose the kind of art with which the knowledgeable are the best, what they like the most. Second, you need to know the appropriate terminology. When writing a response about a fiction job, you need to remember what the plot, composition, means of creating a comic, lyrical hero, artistic ways, theme, idea is.
When working on a response about a picture, it is necessary to skillfully use such terms and concepts: the genre of the film, the technique of execution and materials, color, tones and halftones, contrast, the first, second plan, background, the nature of overlaying colors.
If a specific person named in the text, you need to be especially careful and cautious in your assessments, their expression, so as not to offend the person, not to put her in an uncomfortable position. This applies not only to some negative phenomena, facts, but also positive ones.
The main element of art can be called the jobs themselves, as its physical display. These are pictures, graphics, actors' play, lyrics, and poetry. They can divide into several main types.
Before we get into the details of how to value craft, let's re-emphasize that the whole point of recognizing creativity is to explain why we like or dislike something, not just whether we want it or not.
For example, you might not like a picture because it is too dark, but you might still like its theme or appreciate it in general. Put, saying, "I don't like this picture" is not enough. We need to know the reasons for your opinion and whether you think that the job has any positive qualities.
The easiest way to make out and therefore appreciate a job of craft is to examine its context or premises. This is because it helps us know what was in the painter's mind when creating the post.
Art and design are two inextricably linked concepts. The role of design often underestimate, considering its only task to be excessive decoration, and some do not recognize designers as creators, calling them "just decorators." However, this opinion is wrong. Design is one of the highest forms of human creativity because it serves real people's real needs.
Design is always functional, and the function can even be the emotion it evokes. Some objects do not need to be practical or economical. But the idea behind them is modern and innovative. Foresees the future trends that make people use them and think, learn, and create.
A drawing or illustration conveys the painter's final vision of the idea. This results in an illustration in a book, a canvas in a gallery, a job in a frame that hangs on the wall.
Conclusions are a short, concise summary of the main results of the job. Findings should write in the form of short sentences, each of which represents a complete thought. As a rule, conclusions reflect the practical section of the job.
Usually, the number of conclusions corresponds to the number of tasks assigned. When completing theses, at least six ends are required. This means that the results obtained by solving one of the problems can describe in several conclusions.
Usually, the conclusion is based on the content of the job. For example, in the first part, the main results obtained from the literature's parsing should be presented.
It is difficult for students to write new jobs and, therefore, more often search engines, the phrases " write my paper for me " hear. We advise you to use the letter-to-order function, and it saves time, value youth!
