A Brief History of Typography
A little insight into the history of not only Typography, but also of written language. This article will be far from covering it all, but focuses on highlighting some of the major events and periods in the history of Typography.
Typography
From the Greek roots τύπος typos = "impression" and -γραφία -graphia = "writing".
Cuneiform~ 30th Century BC – 200 AD
Or "Script of Nails / Cuneiform Script" is probably the oldest form of written text. This calligraphic form of writing was carved into clay tablets.

Project Educate feat. Negative Space
Project Educate feat. Negative Space
This feature of Typography showcases works that play with negative spac. This recurring theme in both Art and Design, challenges our mind in sometimes such a subtle manner that it is simply amazing. Using negative space for words while keeping the text readable is a trick that shows us how our minds are capable of so much more.

Typography Terminology
This article is here to highlight some of the most important terms when it comes to working with Typography. The terminology in this article is very basic, but it's not only for beginners! Knowing the proper terms for whatever you do avoids confusion and makes it easier for people to be on the same line of thought.
Please note: these terms all refer to the technical work with Typography. They do not cover the Anatomy of Typefaces (f.e. baseline, x-height or serif) or stylistic elements used in Typography (f.e. page layout or white space).
Typeface
A Typeface is the compilation of a set of characters, which share a cer
Introduction to Polymer Clay by projecteducate, journal
Introduction to Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is a modeling compound consisting mainly of polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizes to make it pliable. As you can see it's easy to define polymer clay, but there's no possible way to describe all the variety of things that can be achieved with it.

(If you thought that was long...then this might be a shocker!)
Part 1||Part 2
UK, 1899-1904 Matches: An Appeal
Being quite a pioneer for the future of animation, an animation named Matches: An Appeal was photographed by Arthur Melbourne-Cooper in St. Albans. It was one of the earliest 'applied animations' (animation considered to have a purpose other than entertainment, such as for charity or information) as it asked people to send money to British troops in the Boer War.
Cooper is also acknowledged as the inventor of the CU, or Close-up shot!

Art History: Animation History Day 1/2
By Morgan!
Part 1||Part 2
Over the next two days, I will highlight the main elements in the history of the moving art form that is animation. To animate means to bring to life, and the past hundred or so years have proven that art has come to life in one of the most complex and dedicated art forms around.
I will use timelines, professional terminology and descriptions to give a very brief rundown of the history up until present day.
Bearing in mind, although animation is one of the newer forms of art, there is an extensive, exhaustive history on it, and I suggest further reading if you so wish! (Further reading will be applied on Day 2).

Art History - Renaissance: Mannerism
As part of the Art History project being hosted by communityrelations (https://www.deviantart.com/communityrelations) and being built by various members of the community, I am here to give you a brief introdcution to Renaissance Painting, with a focus on the Mannerist style.
Mannerism was a style during the high Renaissance (the 1500s) in Italy. In chronological order, Classical Renaissance preceeded it and the Baroque Period followed in Italy (see Supaslim (https://www.deviantart.com/supaslim) from December 16th-18th for Baroque Art). But mannerism stayed popular outside of Italy, in much of Northern Europe until the 17th century. The markers of the Mannerist style are very long proportions, lack of obvious pers
