As
for my mentors, the first is Leonora Carrington who I learned about because of her recent death. She was a surrealist painter from Mexico (although she was born in Britain). She was one of the last living surrealist painters from her era, and her work has been shown all around the world. Her artwork first caught my eye when I was on a news website. It's a shame she's no longer living. H
ere's one of her paintings on the left!
Another thing I found while browsing online recently was an p
ost about a sand sculpture festival in Turkey. The website did not provide much information other than an amazing picture, but I looked into it a little and found that it was located on Antalya's beach. Then I found that these happen not only in Turkey but annua
lly in other parts of the world such as Australia, India, and Russia too. I thought pictures of these would be interesting to share since Alex is doing a sand sculpture/sand castle project right now. I'm not really sure who the artists are, but they're clearly very talented. I never thought sand sculptures could go this far. Here are some
pictures!
