Interior Decorating and Home Decor With Inuit Art from the Arctic North
In order to help give a room a classier touch, interior decorators have used sculptures to bring in a mansion or even museum-like feel to a home. This is particularly true for the interior decorating of living rooms, dens, home offices and hallways. When many people consider sculptures as home decor, the thought comes to ancient Roman or Greek mythological characters like Apollo, Venus or Zeus. Others think about abstract contemporary fine art sculptures that are sometimes difficult to interpret.Since there has been a trend in recent years towards a more natural look with more earthy color tones for interior decorating, Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic north can fit in nicely as part of home decor.
Most subjects used in Inuit art tend to be focused on the observations that the Inuit people (formerly referred to as Eskimos in Canada) make of their Arctic surroundings whether the pieces are soapstone sculptures or prints of drawings. We often see Inuit art depicting Arctic wildlife including polar bears, seals, whales and walruses as well as lifestyle scenes involving family or hunting. The Inuit have been carving stone sculptures for thousands of years but it was only introduced as fine art to the modern world on a significant scale during the 1950s. Today, Inuit art has gained international recognition as a valid form of contemporary fine art.
Colors of Inuit sculptures tend to be polished shades of blacks, grays, browns, greens and whites. Inuit artists also tend to utilize relatively neutral colors for their art prints which work well with all color ranges of today's more natural styles of interior decorating. Adding an Inuit sculpture on an end table, mantle or shelf gives a living room or office that gallery touch. An Inuit art print on the wall of a hallway or corridor also works the same way. Since the majority of people especially outside Canada have never seen Inuit art before, such artwork in a home will often end up as conversational pieces with guests. There are Inuit stone sculptures to suit almost every price range and budget at about $100 to several thousand dollars for large, intricate pieces.

What is this balcony thing called?
Okay, I'm writing a story and I can't think of what this thing is. It's like, when you go into a mansion or castle through the main big doors you go into the main room, and in front of you there is an awesome chandelier hanging from the ceiling (which is really high up) and there's two curved staircases made of carved stone that both lead up to some sort of landing or balcony, which is where the owner of the building is standing. What is this landing or balcony that this person is standing on called?

Colombia's Lost City gets long-term preservation plan (Gadling)
Filed under: Arts and Culture, Hiking, History, Learning, South America,
Colombia
Last year, Gadling's Aaron Hotfelder braved the mountainous jungles of
Colombia to visit Ciudad Perdida, the nation's famous "Lost City".
These remote ruins were built by the Tayrona, a culture that thrived from 200
AD to c.1650 AD. More than 250 of their stone settlements have been found in a
2,000 square-mile area. The Lost City is the largest Tayrona site known with
more than 200 structures over 80 acres. One highlight is a strange carving,
shown below, that appears to be a map of the city.
Unknown to the outside world until the 1975, the site now attracts an
increasing number of tourists willing to make the five-day trek, and this is
destabilizing some of the structures. Erosion and local narcotics traffickers
are also taking their toll, _Popular Archaeology_ reports.
Now the Global Heritage Fund has teamed up with the Colombian Institute of
Anthropology and History, which runs the Teyuna-Ciudad Perdida Archaeological
Park, to preserve the site. The area will be fully mapped and examined, and
they'll create a management plan to reduce natural and man-made damage to the
site. One good aspect of the ...
