I am getting married and my theme is Gothic Cinderella (picture Cinderella as a Vampire). And my wedding colors are Black and Red. Can you share some unique ideas that would go well with this theme, like a wedding cake topper idea, flowers, vows, basically everything! I am in desperate need of some unique ideas for my wedding. Any help is greatly appreciated!

As you should know, jewish law does not allow to drink any grape made juice or alcohol that has not been handled only by torah laws keeping jews, so my question is if any of you know about any absinthe drink that surely "does not" contain any grapes juice or alcohol and/or any animal product as well. thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!
The absinthe has alcohol which can be made of grapes.

i need to research the niche for an art project but i can’t find anything anywhere. does anyone know any good books or websites that describe the purpose and function of gothic cathedral architectural elements????

1. Which statement best describes a characteristic of Byzantine icon paintings?

(Points: 3)
Gold lines highlight the folds of the stylized clothing.

Gold backgrounds signify the wealth of bishops.

Textured colors make up the faces and hands of the icons.

2. Which statement best describes portals in Romanesque cathedrals?

(Points: 3)
The highly realistic figures are based on Roman conventions.

The sculptural figures have accurate scale and proportion.

Stories in them teach people about important Roman myths.

They are carved in high relief, but have an overall flattened appearance.

3. What did Gothic artists hope to accomplish in their paintings?

(Points: 3)
They wanted to communicate a religious message.

They wanted to show figures within an earthly setting.

They strived to associate mankind with biblical figures.

They worked hard to depict figures with lifelike features.

4. Which statement describes Gothic stained-glass windows?

(Points: 3)
Artists used complex imagery that only the bishop could understand.

Architects favored them because they were an inexpensive way to decorate a cathedral.

Illiterate people could understand their illustrated biblical scenes and figures.

Artists made them by painting pictures and designs on a huge sheet of clear glass.

5. How did Early Renaissance artists depict the human figure?

(Points: 3)
They used unnatural proportion to evoke an emotional response.

They showed the beauty of the human form and nuances of human expression.

They depicted religious subjects because the church was the only patron.

They connected sculpted figures to an architectural framework for added support.

6. Which statement best describes the paintings of Early Renaissance artist Perugino?

(Points: 3)
Perugino used little contrast in light and dark, so figures appear flattened.

Religious figures in the paintings are placed on a heavenly background.

The paintings have a rational, ordered sense of space and no distracting objects.

Perugino used oil paint on canvas to create subtle color variations.

7. How did Italian High Renaissance painters often create the illusion of depth?

(Points: 3)
They used one-point perspective to create the illusion of depth.

They used chiaroscuro to create the illusion of depth.

They used the pyramid configuration to create the illusion of depth.

8. What role did humanism play in Italian High Renaissance art?

Artists depicted religious subjects in earthly settings.

Artists downplayed the importance of humans in the world.

Artists avoided creating art that had both humans and biblical figures.

Artists painted humans larger than biblical figures to show their importance.

9. What Mannerist characteristics does Parmigianino’s painting Madonna with the Long Neck exhibit?

(Points: 3)
The figures appear distanced from the picture plane.

The composition of the painting is simple and orderly.

The figures are placed within a clearly understandable setting.

The figures are elegant and have elongated proportion.

Ok, so my friends and i started a goth metal/ psychobilly/ punk band about a few weeks ago. i really want a "stage name" cause i don’t want the band to be boring, you know?
We’re heavily influenced by old horror movies, vintage monsters, gothic art, mystical stuff, and so on.
I would like to sit down and come up with some names on my own but i haven’t had the time and i would really appreciate anyone who could help.

Oh, and my name is jasmyne but i like the spelling jasmine better.

Thank you so much!

hey everyone. One of my friends gave me "Gothic Art Now" as a early christmas gift. I read it through once, and the second time, I noticed there was an artist who wrote something like "As an adult, i picked up alice in wonderland a few summers ago, and rather than a dream like place its a more darker environment". Its NOT written like that word from word. Thats just a quick little summary I made from what the artist said. Alice in Wonderland has always interested me greatly, the story line and characters, and the slight confusion of everything! (well not slight confusion..) and I have found my own share of ideas on what aspects of the story can be percieved as dark. The beheading of people was obviously one of them, but just one of them. there are so many more and i would like to hear what others had ideas are on the darker aspects. So what would you say has more of a darker and meloncholy part in the story? And another thing was, I have a sister who told me there was a twisted version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Its a book. I am not talking about any movies, so if such book exists, can you give me the name and author? Thanks everyone. Happy holidays to all XD
