CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
Featured Article
The CMHR represents a unique opportunity for Canada to be recognized as a leader in reflecting and further advancing contemporary research on genocide and human rights and in telling the story of all genocides without any attempt to represent the suffering of one nation, tribe or community as having been of more relevance or importance than any other’s. All attempts to do so argue fundamentally do an injustice to the memory of the many millions of victims of genocide throughout the ages, whether they suffered in Europe, or somewhere else.
How did Canada get its name? Most Canadians, if asked about the origins of the name “Canada”, will admittedly lament their ignorance of that part of Canadian history.

Tips on buying art materials
posted on: 2011-08-01 03:01:37
If you are going to start some canvas oil paintings, you have to buy some materials needed. Art materials are quiet expensive and there are lots of materials to choose from which is bit hard for the art beginner. The following are some tips which help you to purchase oil painting materials.
1. Buy the right easel for your painting. You need think some things such as what is it made of the height. Make sure have an easel that is sturdy. Many easels can be bought in art shops, however you can make one by yourself if you do not have enough money. There are tips on how to make an easel that is just right for you. Having a self made easel gives you an ease of not adjusting anything when using because you can make it to put the canvas where you wanted. Portable easels are mostly used if you wanted to paint outdoors or out of your working place.
2. Choosing white bristle brushes. Get different oil painting brushes and it is better to get animal hair brushes and not the synthetics brush. Because animal hairbrush handles the pigment better and is more natural than synthetic hairbrush. Q-tips cotton are also better in canvas art because they can create very subtle stroke with it’s soften edges. Using white bristle brushes needs more practice though. It is suggested to use a shaving brush, cut it with a brush cutter.
3. Pads of wax coated paper or disposable palettes is also a must have. When you use only one, tear it off and its fine but it is suggested that you get to disposable palettes. One is for putting your colors down, and the other is for mixing colors only.
4. Different oils can be mixed with your pigments. Start with Cold Pressed Linseed oil but you can experiment later on. The latter oil mentioned earlier is extracted from trees and is general purpose oil. A palette knife is to be used when mixing the oil and resins into the pigments. Alkyd resin is needed to fasten the drying time of the pigments. If you are not familiar with alkyd buy a general purpose one until you know which one you want to use.
5. Canvas boards are good for oil painting practice. Prepare your canvas and buy it unprimed. There are pre-stretched canvases available in department stores or art shops though this comes with a price.
6. Other essential materials are paint thinner or mineral spirits. In using these substances make sure to get one that is not too smelly or strong because these are not that good to ones. Brush washer is also needed to put the paint thinner in and wash your brushes. Rags are preferred for messes and cleanups.
