(5)Hiii guys! For this post i will tell you about the masterpiece of amazing buildings around the world. Those buildings were made by constructor and architect. 


  • The first building that I pick is The Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most remarkable architectural structures in Europe. Most famous for its tilt, the tower began to lean during construction after soft ground on one side was unable to properly support the structure's weight. Building work on the tower began in 1173 and went on for over a whopping 300 years. There has been much controversy surrounding the true identity of the architect behind the tower - the design originally attributed to artist Bonnano Pisano but studies have also implicated architect Diotisalvi.

  • Next,the building that capture my attention is the Sydney Opera House. Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as one of the greatest architectural works of the 20th century. The innovative design came from architect Jørn Utzon, who was relatively unknown until January 29, 1957 when his entry to the ‘International competition for a national opera house at Bennelong Point, Sydney’ was announced the winner.
The beautiful building comprises of three groups of interlocking shells, which roof two main performance halls and a restaurant. A masterpiece of modern architecture, the opera house has become an iconic symbol of both Sydney and the Australian nation.

  • Taj Mahal,one of the seven wonder of the world is one of the great masterpiece of all time.The Taj Mahal recognised as 'the jewel of Muslim art in India', the Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Often mistaken as a palace, this famous landmark was actually built as a tomb for the Emperor's wife after she died giving birth to their 14th child. 


The Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the finest examples ofMughal architecture - an amalgamation of Persian, Turkish and Indian styles. Construction on the mausoleum began in 1632 and was completed in 1648. The surrounding buildings and gardens took a further five years to finish. 
The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. 
  • I think we already know the tallest building in the world that is the Burj Khalifa,Dubai. The mammoth skyscraper and magnificent centerpiece of Downtown Dubai stands at a whopping 828.9 metres high. 


Construction began on the 160-floor building in 2004 with its doors opening six years later in 2010. The task of creating the world's tallest man made structure was awarded to the Chicago office of American architectural and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings and Merril LLP.This make Dubai is a must place for us to visit to see the tallest building in the world!
Don't look down! The world's tallest building in Dubai over 800 metres high. 
  • And last but not least our proudest building in Malaysia,The Petronas Twin Tower,Kuala Lumpur! 




Standing at 170 metres above ground, the Petronas Towers are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The buildings, which held the titled of tallest in the world between 1998-2004, are an iconic landmark of the capital city.
The distinctive postmodern style was created by architects Cesar Pelli and Achmad Murdijat, engineer Deejay Cerico and designer Dominic Saibo under the consultancy of JC Guinto.These are vidoes from YouTube that i can share with you guys about the construction of the Petronas Twin Tower:

(4)Beautiful Painting...

Painting is one of masterpiece that usually we heard as it is a famous art. Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). The usual medium that we applied to the base is a brush but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, also can be used. Paintings also have their support surfaces such as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper or concrete, and may include multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, gold leaf as well as objects.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. However, the term is also used outside of art as a common trade among craftsmen and builders. Here are some type of painting that famous among the people and gets their attention:

Painting Media

Oil
Bagan Datuh, Perak Oil Painting by Alfandi

Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium. Often oil was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense, these were called 'varnishes' and give result for their body and gloss. Oil paint eventually became the principal medium used for creating artworks as its advantages became widely known.

Pastel
Flower Pastel Paint by Deborah Bays

Pastel is a painting medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints. The color effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process. Because the surface of a pastel painting is fragile and easily smudged, its preservation requires protective measures such as framing under glass.
Acrylic
Water Lilies by Shawn Gould 2004
Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

Spray Paint

Aerosol paint (also called spray paint) is a type of paint that comes in a sealed pressurized container and is released in a fine spray mist when depressing a valve button. A form of spray painting, aerosol paint leaves a smooth, evenly coated surface. Standard sized cans are portable, inexpensive and easy to store. Aerosol primer can be applied directly to bare metal and many plastics. Lets Enjoy this spray paint video, it's truly awesome...


Water Miscible Oil Paint

Water miscible oil paints (also called "water soluble" or "water-mixable") is a modern variety of oil paint engineered to be thinned and cleaned up with water, rather than having to use chemicals such as turpentine. It can be mixed and applied using the same techniques as traditional oil-based paint, but while still wet it can be effectively removed from brushes, palettes, and rags with ordinary soap and water. Its water solubility comes from the use of an oil medium in which one end of the molecule has been altered to bind loosely to water molecules, as in a solution.
Costa Rica by David Boyd
     Some arts can become valuable because of the way of painting and depends on its own styles of painting that refer to the method that reflect an individual artist's work. We love to watch some people's art because we love to see something that beautiful and full of creativity, isn't it?:)

(1)Introduction...

     MASTERPIECE referred to a piece of work produced by an artworkers aspiring to become a master craftsman in the old European guild system.Their qualify that required for the  guild membership was judged then through their masterpiece, and if they were successful, it was retained by the guild. Great care was therefore taken to produce a fine piece in whatever the craft was, whether confectionery, painting, goldsmithing, knifemaking  or many other trades. The practice has continued in some modern academies of art.
Painting (masterpiece mosaic)
The word ‘masterpiece’ was taken from the Dutch "meesterstuk" or German "meisterstück", and the form "masterstik" is recorded in English in 1579 whereas "masterpiece" is first found in 1605, already outside a guild context, in a Ben Jonson play. "Masterprize" was another early variant in English.

In English the term rapidly became used in a variety of contexts for an exceptionally good piece of creative work, and was "in early use, often applied to man as the 'masterpiece' of God or Nature".


From modern English word ,it  refers to the best piece of work of creative artist or craftsman but it has come to be used to refer to any work seen to be of high quality, including non-creative works, luxury or rare goods of all kinds, and even mass-produced goods. The word has been adopted as the brand name for a range of watches by Rolex, toys by Transformers, cosmetics by Max factor and stuffed animals by Steiff
