How to Make an Avatar Costume

The wig and other accessories are the final touches that can bring the Avatar costume together. These things can be bought pre made or they can be made at home.

The wig should be long and black. It should be braided in long thin braids. The wig should then be decorated with brightly colored feather and wooden or pony beads. When putting the wig on be careful not to cover or damage the ears.

Arm bands can be added. These should be leather or brown beaded cloth. Beads and feathers like those used on the wig can be dangled from these for a nice look.

Wooden beads can be strung into bracelets and necklaces. The costume should have at least one of each to have the full affect. If the costume is a Jake Sully costume two beaded bracelets are needed. For a Neytiri costume four beaded bracelets and one necklace are needed.

A Neytiri costume should have brown sandals and a green scarf used as a waist wrap. Her wig is made up of the scattered braids described above. A Jake Sully costume would have khaki pants and work boots. His wig is made up of one long braid that runs down the back.http://avatarblog.typepad.com/avatar-blog/2010/04/learn-to-make-easy-avatar-halloween-costumes-yourself.html

"If people use the word pop to differentiate it from art, then I would not like the idea too much. It is inevitable I am going to be called a pop artist. The name is going to stick, no matter what I think." — Roy Lichtensteinhttp://www.artelino.com/articles/roy_lichtenstein.asp

"Commercial art had all of the aspects that were needed to get across a new form of painting which just seemed to be interesting." — Roy Lichtensteinhttp://www.artelino.com/articles/roy_lichtenstein.asp

Mary Cassatt

While she was always close to her family, Cassat never married nor had children of her own. In 1915 cataracts significantly reduced her vision to the point where she gave up painting.http://www.essortment.com/all/marycassatt_rcgh.htm She had turned her attention to the Women's Suffrage Movement, and exhibited eighteen pieces dedicated to that cause. France awarded her the Legion d'honneur in 1904 in recognition of her contribution to art. http://www.marycassatt.org/biography.html

She lived in Paris the remainder of her life. She died on June 14, 1926 from complications from diabetes. She had by then lived long enough to be considered an "Old Master" by younger, more experimental artists.http://www.essortment.com/all/marycassatt_rcgh.htm
