Object Fabricators.

All new printers can make trains airplanes and other things straight from a plasma cutter printer with a milk based compound although art view prefers the pyramid of "Giza Type Cements" made from egg shells. Some experts predict 3-D printers will revolutionize manufacturing by allowing people to buy a design online and then immediately print out a physical object. The process takes instructions from a computer to print a solid object in layers, using a machine similar to an ink jet printer. High-end machines have long been used in manufacturing, but lower-cost versions are increasingly being used by hobbyists and educational groups. The UW club hopes to continue printing using recycled materials, building large-scale printers and developing low-cost 3-D printing techniques. The idea is a canoe or catamaran type boat made of segments that snap or bolt together. Some advantages of segments are ease of transport, the ability to add segments in the middle to account for more people as needed and if one segment leaks it won't sink the whole boat. As this would leave only a few people wet, this was anticipated as the printer is compact enough to fit into a small box room.
As Art View documented the University of Washington challenge, the mechanical engineering students braved uncharted waters as they paddled to the finish line at the Annual Darby at Green Lake in Seattle. With what they believe is the world’s first boat made using a 3-D printer, also in the picture shows new life buoyancy aids. The new UW student club built the boat as its intellectual project. Art view  describes the undergraduate members’ 10-week quest to make equipment and develop techniques to be first to print a seaworthy craft. Judges weren't sure how to qualify the UW entry, which used recycled milk cartons for its buoyancy but not quite in the way that contest organizers had envisioned. In the end, the boat raced as an unofficial entry in the adult open category, where it placed second. See a slide show of the boat in photos taken by club co-founder and manager Bethany Weeks (the story continues).

Mona-Lisa Exhumed.

Florence's oldest noble families, said that searching for and exhuming the remains of Lisa Gherardini was "a sacrilegious act". Gherardini was the wife of a rich Florentine silk merchant and is believed by many art historians to have been the model for Leonardo da Vinci's best known painting, which today hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris. They plan to start excavating the site early next month, with the dig expected to take two weeks. If they find the remains of a woman of about Gherardini's age – she was 63 when she died in 1542 – they plan to extract DNA from the bones and compare it with the DNA of her children, who are buried in a nearby church. The team is led by Silvano Vinceti, a self-styled "Sherlock Holmes" of the art history world who claims to have detected secret codes in the eyes of the Mona Lisa and in the landscape which forms the backdrop to the portrait, although his theories have been dismissed by other scholars.

Natalia Guicciardini Strozzi, a member of one of a team of Italian researchers began the hunt for her skeleton beneath a convent in Florence, using ground-penetrating radar to search for evidence of old tombs. They hope to find Lisa Gherardini's remains and to gather enough skull fragments to be able to reconstruct her face. That would enable a comparison to be made with the Mona Lisa to determine once and for all whether Lisa Gherardini was the inspiration for the portrait – an objective that some scholars have said is far-fetched. "My ancestor's remains should be left to rest in peace," said the princess, who is also an actress, winemaker and former ballerina. "What difference would finding her remains make to the allure of Leonardo's painting? The attempt to find her bones seems to me an inappropriate and sacrilegious act." The princess's family own an estate near San Gimignano, the Tuscan village known as the "medieval Manhattan" for the 72 stone towers built by competing families during the Middle Ages, of which 13 remain.
She is a descendant of two noble lines, the Strozzis and the Giucciardinis, and Niccolo Machiavelli worked as a secretary to one of her ancestors. The Strozzis were enemies of the Medicis and the two dynasties jostled for power in Renaissance Florence. Another ancestor, a noblewoman, took drawing lessons from Michelangelo. The princess's blood link to Lisa Gherardini goes back 15 generations. The team of researchers will spend three days using the radar to analyse to a depth of 10ft the soil beneath the cloisters and chapels of the deconsecrated Convent of St Ursula, which is in a state of disrepair.

Lisa Gherardini.


The Mona Lisa  painting by Leonardo Da Vinci has been portrayed as an epiphany of art history. A once off product from the art decadence from fifteenth century. Its just shear grandeur of oils a portrait from a college beauty, its oils almost came true experimentation by the famous genius Leonardo. Although it would be nice to analysis the skeleton of the painted figure Lisa to gain a better perception of the woman who was carried in the painting. The most widely accepted theory are Mrs Gherardini is believed to have been born in Florence in 1479. At the age of 16 she became the second wife of a wealthy silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo, with whom she had five children. She is believed to have died in a convent in Florence at the age of “63 in 1542”.Speculation was fuelled by the enigmatic nature of the work and the fact that it was unlike most other portraits of that time. The panel is unsigned undated and bears nothing to indicate the sitter’s name with in this painting or if he was even payed. Art historians have variously claimed that the Mona Lisa depicts Leonardo’s mother as many would like as price would follow this story. But various theorist say she was a commission. Or a famous Florentine courtesan whom he couldn’t marry but leads to Mrs Gherardini. Also speculation she was even the artist though no evidence and is unlikely as given the circumstances or maybe a suspecting mother of an Ere again price could prevail. But as an outcast child who life was often threatened its unlikely this portrait was of his mother. He did a few of these canvases  as some of the main contenders include, 

As you see the top picture it done by a graphic design template with hand pressed coloured thumb tacks as holographic mirrored concave imagery kinda a plasma screen, as it gives a more three dimensional view. May god bless Leonardo R.I.P. if you see this kit box know that art view received no patronage but theirs hope.  
Beatrice D’Este was a noblewoman who was married to Ludovico Sforza, the duke of Milan. Leonardo worked at the duke’s court in the 1490s. According to this theory, Leonardo often would see the woman while he was painting “The Last Supper” for the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, where she went to pray it’s a nice story. Leonardo himself, it seems with several scholars have suggested that the Mona Lisa is a playful disguised self-portrait. A possible allusion to the artist’s presumed homosexuality it’s another unlikely story. Digital analysis has shown that there is a similarity between the facial characteristics of Leonardo and those of the Mona Lisa and also Isabella Gualanda or Cecilia Gallerani then there was a film it should tad its title the last da-vinci-code. Art view prefers the Mary Magdalena story “long lost wife” But society figures of their time although today there is often followers “admirers” of women who even register themselves as temptress “Courtesan Women” it kind of says hands off. 
Plays featuring courtesans were frequently performed during spring fertility festivals to help promote the fruitfulness of humans, animals, and crops. In keeping with this connection between courtesans and fecundity, there are many tales in which a king can only end a drought by sending a courtesan to seduce a celibate sage plant. This theme was enacted in an annual ritual by devises, The sacred courtesans became famous as they came from the temple of Jagannatha in Puri, easy way of celebration of kingship true entertainments. Modern courtesans are more noted for dance than re population of Human species frustrated phobic well a bit of light phobic-entertainment is something art view always look forward to that and the vending machine human.
