Many businesses try to change...but few succeed. At best, a few buzzwords and new reports become part of the company's structure. At worst, programs crash and burn, and everyone becomes irreparably disillusioned with the revolving door of new-mission statements. According to David Shaner--a business consultant with a 100% success rate of change at companies including Duracell, Frito-Lay, Ryobi, and Gillette--the problem is that the implemented changes don't address either individuals or the corporate culture. They're only on the surface.Combining lessons drawn from four decades of Aikido with knowledge gleaned from his 30-year consulting career, Shaner merges Eastern philosophy with Western business savvy to present his Seven Arts of Change (including the Arts of Preparation, Relaxation, and Compassion), showing how individual adjustments from CEO down can transform a company. Using exercises, strategies and real-life examples to show how to awaken the untapped potential in any organization and every person within it, Shaner shows how to create change built to last.

A fly-on-the-wall account of the smart and strange subcultures that make, trade, curate, collect, and hype contemporary art. The art market has been booming. Museum attendance is surging. More people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and, for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.

Visual Art is a comprehensive universal language. It aids in bridging the communication gap between generations and nationalities. It is the unique expressions of ideas, beliefs, and feelings. Also, it visually records projected visions, current and historical moments. The two types of fine arts are visual and applied art. Examples of visual art are painting, drawing, and sculpting. Visual art gives only visual pleasure to its patrons. Examples of applied art are architecture, fashion design, photography, and ceramics. It refers to artistic designs that serve a practical purpose but is also aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Applied artists are called artisan, craft persons, or designers. There is a vague line between fine art and applied art. Fine artist and applied artist create and design works of art by employing the seven elements of design, the eight principles of design, and the three aesthetic theories of design. Finally, art is a brain developer. Creativity can enhance perception, conception, cultural awareness, self-expression, and cognition. It is important to become familiar with words such as space, line, shape, value, form, color, and texture. These words describe the unique visual language that is known as the seven elements of design. These basic elements are the essential components of the universal language of art.
