He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3svrV_Yf5kQ/SpuGckfDqII/AAAAAAAAB1o/lB0anuan1bs/s1600-h/Wassily-Kandinsky.jpeg"></a>Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa. He enrolled at the University of Moscow and chose to study law and economics. Quite successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat—he started painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30. </div><br /><div><br />In 1896 he settled in Munich and studied first in the private school of Anton Azbe and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He went back to Moscow in 1914 after World War 1 started. He was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow and returned to Germany in 1921. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939. He died at Neuilly-sur-seine in 1944. </div><br /><div><br />The inspiration for your layouts will come from this sample of his abstract workcalled 'On White II'</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>So come on all you <a href="http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">ARTASTIC </a>chickys.....cant wait to see how this artwork inspires you!!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SqdRHi56HnI/AAAAAAAAAgs/sGVJPNK6dBY/s1600-h/Kandinsky_white.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379357469987970674" style="FLOAT: left;

Early to bed and early to rise for the week leading up, nothing like added energy to get through the weekend! </div><br /><div>2. Don't worry about the family - Have the hubby take the kids for the day which includes: All kids sports whether it be a practice, game or both, birthday parties and the afternoon spent at McDonalds - then there is no need for dinner. </div><br /><div>3. Hubby then continues into the wee hours of the evening, including bathing the kids or at least organising sleepovers for all the kids. This includes all the children of your best friend who maybe divorced and her X now lives in a different state. After all the two of you do need to spend bonding time together - scrapping girls weekend at home! </div><br /><div>4. For those of you without kids - sending your hubby away for the weekend of fishing, camping or a favorite sports event is genius</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>so what are you waiting for....celebrate your scrapping passion by registering <a href="http://www.foreveralways.com.au/forum/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">HERE</span></a>!!!</div><div></div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1071714508273268820-3896145805383562404?l=itsallblackandwhite2me.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Renae D*http://www.blogger.com/profile/04574337950306169651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071714508273268820.post-88041153383025754392009-04-14T09:51:00.002+10:002009-04-14T09:56:25.902+10:00Hi everyone....would love it if you could all join me for my first recipe scrap challenge at FOREVER ALWAYS this wed 15th April.

We have had a week of no rain (our first since end of Dec) and now a cyclone has formed, intensified rapidly and is heading our way. Some low lying spots in Mackay are already under evacuation as there is expected to be a tidal surge and high tides...arghh. Lucky i'm slightly out of town so tides dont affect us but mum and dad have already picked my nanna up and taken her to their place as she has a tidal drain behind hers. Islands in the whitsundays have already been evacuated too...how scary for them. ok off to put my photos up high and dry ....and maybe covered in plastic.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1071714508273268820-7911484116216203755?l=itsallblackandwhite2me.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Renae D*http://www.blogger.com/profile/04574337950306169651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071714508273268820.post-5200934462051990852009-02-28T20:17:00.008+10:002009-03-01T15:05:56.492+10:00<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRzefmh9I/AAAAAAAAAF4/EPEag0ukDkM/s1600-h/My+own+two+hands.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307793211889453010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRzefmh9I/AAAAAAAAAF4/EPEag0ukDkM/s320/My+own+two+hands.jpg" border="0" /></a>Songbird Scraps Feb challenge #2<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRaR_uE0I/AAAAAAAAAFw/7Pz2PvRN2Js/s1600-h/can+u+say+cheese.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307792779037774658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 317px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRaR_uE0I/AAAAAAAAAFw/7Pz2PvRN2Js/s320/can+u+say+cheese.jpg" border="0" /></a>123 scrapbook monthly sketch challenge-February</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRAcDUFGI/AAAAAAAAAFo/0dVkCdG4yVw/s1600-h/play+ball.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307792335060604002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakRAcDUFGI/AAAAAAAAAFo/0dVkCdG4yVw/s320/play+ball.JPG" border="0" /></a>White with 1 blog challenge: all white<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><u><span style="color:#0000ff;"></span></u><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakQZzLbgSI/AAAAAAAAAFg/xnpdQ4gW7as/s1600-h/Dora.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307791671253762338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SakQZzLbgSI/AAAAAAAAAFg/xnpdQ4gW7as/s320/Dora.JPG" border="0" /></a> mid month sketch challenge at FOREVER ALWAYS.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1071714508273268820-520093446205199085?l=itsallblackandwhite2me.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Renae D*http://www.blogger.com/profile/04574337950306169651noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071714508273268820.post-70532901307816542652009-02-24T09:13:00.003+10:002009-02-24T09:17:47.350+10:00The first Card and Layout sketches along with the Miss Hippy Chick DT examples are up...check them out....here's mine.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SaMuSaXILHI/AAAAAAAAAEw/tla4-3bg0pk/s1600-h/misshippychic-No.1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306135679821425778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i0Z-nH9izqc/SaMuSaXILHI/AAAAAAAAAEw/tla4-3bg0pk/s320/misshippychic-No.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with for these sketches.....click the MISS HIPPY CHICK link on the right to join in the fun.</div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1071714508273268820-7053290130781654265?l=itsallblackandwhite2me.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Renae D*http://www.blogger.com/profile/04574337950306169651noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071714508273268820.post-24986079242771355372009-02-22T15:34:00.005+10:002009-02-22T15:47:27.051+10:00<div align="center">The girls at Forever Always have outdone themselves again with some really cool challenges for this weekends Cyber Crop.....as usual there has been lots of chat and laughter and the gallery is bursting with fantastic layouts and inspiration.
