Looking for Delhi based audience for my research survey Looking for Delhi based audience for my research survey
Research/Article

Hey Guys, I am a fine arts undergraduate student. I am writing a research paper on whether artists can manipulate human cognition to alter/create false memories aka. The Mandela Effect. If yes, to what extent? This survey is to analyse various viewers' responses to two specific artworks in order to gauge how much of an impact art can have on the audience’s memory/perception.

This is going to be my first time writing a research paper, I'm an anxious newbie. Even more so considering this is to be presented at the ICOAH conference.

Edit: Reddit removed my first post. I'm assuming it's because I added the google forms link. So I'm adding it in the comments. If you still can't access it please message me. I'll appreciate it if you can take some time off and fill this up. Thank you so much.

Caricature Artist - private event Caricature Artist - private event
Outsource

Hello, I'm very new in this space, but I've been an ardent follower of art and artists in real life and on Instagram. I am hosting an event for my father's retirement, it would be great if I can get a caricature artist there, it'll be a great way to make memories throughout the event and people can get something out of it. But I'm very clueless as to how much it will cost. Since it'll be a big event - close to 300 people and I'll be arranging the decor, music and gifts I wanted to know the price range for these things before approaching any artist online. I don't want to get embarrassed and disheartened if they quote something big. Please help me know if you've booked any artist before. Thanks!


Do you think ‘hourly wage’ can fix rising unemployment situation in India to some extent? Do you think ‘hourly wage’ can fix rising unemployment situation in India to some extent?
Discussion and Thinking

I’m no expert and don’t know what disadvantages might be there in this system, Just want your views on this.

I think if companies follow ‘hourly wage’ system for all job roles, it can increase employment opportunities for many. People who are not getting overtime pay benefits from it. On another hand, people looking for part-time jobs benefits too. People who want to follow 3-or-4-workdays in a week can do so and open up opportunities for the remaining days of the week for who are unemployed/looking for jobs.

Needless to say, this will benefit people only when regulated by the government to fix a minimum hourly wage like they have in Canada or Australia.

What are your thoughts on it? What might be the problems in implementing this? Why has the Indian government not done this so far?


Looking for fountain pen recommendations. Looking for fountain pen recommendations.
Discussion and Thinking

I'm an ink and watercolor artist. I'm looking for something that would be smooth to use on watercolor paper and would leave well defined lines. It would be nice if it's something that is easy to control when it comes to light weights and is waterproof.

I have never used a foundation pen before and I'm really curious about it. Suggest something that I can find easily in India and hopefully within 1-2k.







Is brustro oil paints set good, or should I go for camlin ? Is brustro oil paints set good, or should I go for camlin ?
Discussion and Thinking

Hii, I am completely new at this, this is my first time buying oil paints, so I am very confused (I mostly paint landscapes). With my budget I can afford one of these two, brustro's 18 colours 12ml oil paints set or camlin's 12 colours 20ml oil paints set (winsor and newton are out of my budget). I searched a lot about these two in the internet, but got more confused. There are very few reviews available for brustro. But those reviews are saying that brustro is good, and the added oil in the tube is less too. And they provide some very good colours that I haven't seen in any other local brands (camlin), like ultramarine blue, Alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow, titanium white, burnt umber etc. that was what attracted me to it in the first place. I have seen many big famous YouTube painters using these colours. But camlin is more trusted brand, according to the reviews, Camlin is much older than brustro, and many local professional artists use this. But I heard that the added oil in camlin tubes are high, that is why the paintings gets yellow (especially white colour) over time. What should I do, should I buy brustro's or camlin's ? If any of you used both, please share your experiences/ feedbacks.







Artists in Bengaluru? Artists in Bengaluru?
Discussion and Thinking

Hey all, I’m a 24 year old guy who has devoted my life for the creation of art and I have some interesting side projects going. I recently got hired for a digital comic artist role in Bengaluru and I have to relocate soon.

It would be great if i could share accommodation along with other artists. I don’t wish to live with some techies who have nothing to do with art and do not understand the life of being an artist.

If anyone who pursue art as a career or hobby is having a vacancy for a roommate please let me know. I think it would be a great opportunity to learn and exchange our skills and motivate each other to push our artistic boundaries. If anyone is looking for a roommate like me, I will introduce about myself to them. Thanks
