Art in America

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: Brant Publications


I purchased this one month ago. I really like the shape of it and the feeling when I am holding it in hand. The only problem is once the lid is closed it is hard to open it again.

The Artist's Magazine (1-year)

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: F&W Publications


Got this as a gift for my mom who just took up painting. She called to say she got two issues at once, which isn't great because you pay a hefty price for only 6 months of issues and she got one third of the gift at once. She said it's neat and there are a lot of things she's never seen before like names of brush strokes and styles. She excited, so I'm excited. Just wished the first issue would have come sooner.

Watercolor Magic (1-year)

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: F&W Publications


I'm a bit new to watercolor (or at least taking it seriously), but I've found this magazine to be an excellent help in the process of making art. The interviews and articles are informative and detailed in the processes of the art making and there's a good spread of different information in every issue. Sometimes books are a bit daunting for me, and there's not enough time to absorb all the information, but this format makes it easier for me to learn techniques. I find myself reading an article at a time and then remembering that information later when I'm painting with ease... It's also nice to have a variety of artists to learn from in every issue. I find myself learning from artists that I would not usually buy a book about or spend ... Read More:

How (1-year)

HOW Magazine is great! It is a fantastic reference and guide for graphic designers and artists. It is on the cutting edge but also appreciates the early designers. The advice is from first hand successful designers and is informative and true to life. I highly recommend the magazine to anyone wanting to stay ahead of the graphic design game.

American Artist

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: Interweave Press


After reading a review here mentioning subscription issues I went directly to American Artists web site and ordered a subscription. That was November 23, 2005 and now Feb. 10, 2006 still no magazine. When I finally complained I got a request to send my credit info again to vnu@espcomp.com. Can't say from looking at that address that I have confidence I was communicating with American Artist or a magazine publisher. Would you send your credit info...I think not. I'd say don't blame Amazon as a previous reviewer did. Hey, the magazine is good if you can get a subscription.

International Artist

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: Australian Artist


I have had a subscription for the past year and was extremely disappointed. I was looking for a magazine that would publish interviews of various painters working in various styles who would explain their techniques and experiences as working artists. I was, however, very disappointed. First, this magazine weirdly seems to be one long advertisement. That aside, the painters and pieces published are all based in realism. I have nothing against realism, but I was looking for a collection of diverse approaches. Something of a salon for painters. This is not what this magazine is aiming to achieve. This magazine would only be potentially useful for an inexperienced painter who is interested in painting classical realism.

ARTnews

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: ARTnews LLC

November 23, 2001
In the other reviews nobody has mentioned that ARTnews has done VERY important investigative reporting and even crusading for the restitution of artworks stolen by the Nazis. They have followed other similar lines over a long period of time. I don't think any other magazine has shown such responsibility. They have been trying but have not yet succeeded in covering art of the nation or world as a whole instead of SOOOOOOO much on NYC. That may almost be too much of a challenge as the art world continues to grow and spread out, and so much of it is available online.

Southwest Art (1-year)

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Art
from: Active Interest Media


I subscribe to several art magazines and this includes both fine arts & art instruction. I find that the the quartet of Southwest Art, American Art Collector, Art of the West and Southwest Art all complement each other. I have had a subscription to Southwest Art for five plus years and I also give a gift subscription to an artist friend of mind. While the magazine does showcases the 'traditional' western art there is a wide variety of art to enjoy.The 'traditional' western art shown is of high quality and you will never be bored .It amazes me that once you leave the sanctimonious New York art world how many really good artists are out there using paint to create some beautiful and compelling works of art. I like the fact that the publisher ships in a recyclable ... Read More:

Art Calendar

I'd like to write a good review for this publication but since I have yet to receive it, I can't. I ordered it on June 11th and here it is a month later and I still don't have it.

Live and learn,
