Art:

Now there's some Spanish art in the Louvre by Multimedia. This way it lets you understand the masterpieces by Zurbarán, Murillo and Goya. In the Murillo room and the neighboring room, you can explore the collection of Spanish paintings through a digital presentation. This approach can be educational as students come in and out of the Lourve. This display gives an overview of this evolution from the 17th century to the present. It's organized into twelve major periods. It's to help the visitor better understand how a museum collection is put together.

There's been a new roof replacement in the Effiel Tower. Apparently it's an artwork painting of black and white horseshoe shapes. This painting was made by Aboriginal artist Lena Nyadbi on the roof. You can only see it if you go all the way up to the top. If you want to see this, it's visible on google earth.

These days arts and Craft are being untamed.

Crafts:

Hey everyone! It's @dream_write_read here with an amazing craft project for you to try! Today, we are going to be making earrings out of some very unexpected materials... Cardboard and nail polish! Believe it or not, these earrings look totally professional when finished, and you'll have made your own jewelry! Let's get started!

For this craft you'll need:

Cardboard (Preferably smooth)

Nail polish in whatever colors you want

Clear nail polish

Jump rings

Earring hooks

Needle

Scissors

Jewelry pliers (If you don't have any, use tweezers)

Here we go!

Step 1: Cut 2 of whatever shape you want out of the cardboard. Make sure they're the same!

Step 2: Using a needle, poke a hole through the top of each shape, where the ear wire will be.

Step 3: Paint the shapes on each side in whatever color nail polish you want... you can use sparkly nail polish too! Let dry and then coat with clear nail polish to protect.

Step 4: Open the jump rings and put them through the holes at the top... then slide the earring hook onto the jump ring and close the jump ring. (To open/close jump ring, use jewelry pliers or tweezers)

And you're done! Enjoy showing off your new earrings in public!

Note: If you want to achieve a bubbly look, paint the shapes, and then put them in the oven on 150 degrees for three minutes on each side while the paint is still wet. When you remove them from the oven, let dry and then cover with another coat of polish and put them back in the oven. Then cover with clear nail polish.

Additional ideas:

1. Paint a fun design on the earrings with regular paint, then coat with clear nail polish

2. Paint one design on the front and then a different one on the back.

3. Layer together multiple pieces of cardboard.

Hope you guys have a great day and enjoy your new earrings!
