Rain of the Moon: Silver in Ancient Peru
A symbol of power and prestige in ancient Peru, silver also held religious significance, its soft cool sheen symbolising the moon, a female deity. This beautiful book presents objects of silver - items of personal adornment, tomb offerings, and miniatures - from several Peruvian cultures that thrived along the coastal and highland regions of the Andes from the first millennium B.C. to the Spanish conquest of 1532-34. Excavated from the sites of such cultures as the Moche, the Lambayeque, the Chimu, and the Inka, these extremely rare and lovely objects of silver shed new light on a fascinating civilization. This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held in the fall of 2000 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Does a picture including 3 flowers and the connected leaves count as a still life picture?
Im currently doing preperation for my art exam coming up, does a picture with three flowers, and the leaves connected to them laying down count as a still life picture? Because i know a still life picture is three things, but do the flowers count as one or three?
Yes it is considered STILL life. The flowers count as one. Here is a link to give you an idea :) http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=still+life+art+pic&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-yie8

Artists, what would you consider being a unique still life picture to draw in pencil?
I am trying to come up with 50 unique still life pictures to photograph, switch to black and white on the computer, and then draw in pencil. I need some ideas that are not your typical fruit in the bowl, wine with cheese, glass bottles, etc.
Any ideas will be considered. Thanks.
um...i'm not sure what your definition of unique still life is, but what if you took a yogurt container (those big ones), put it upside down, stack tape on it, a notebook, and a bottle cap holding an egg? I think that'd be an interesting picture...
