The Snow Show

Book Description

Breathtaking, sublime, illuminating, and meditative works in snow and ice—a tribute to the ingenuity of the participants and an inspiration and cause for reflection in an age of global warming.

In early 2004, in a remote area of Finnish Lapland, one of the most ambitious art and design events in recent history took place. Seventeen collaborations between international artists and architects, the finished works were a triumph of creativity over matter, beauty over ego, hot ideas over arctic materials. Pieces ranged from room-sized cylindrical ice-block lanterns to an amphitheater made from snow.

The exhibition was one of the most fascinating events of the year—and it was only the beginning. Traveling and expanding in size and planned as a centerpiece of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, "The Snow Show" will continue to delight visitors from around the world.

With exquisite photography, detailed plans and sketches, and project descriptions written by the artists and architects, this book is a celebration of overcoming nature's harshest conditions with elegance and beauty.

The Snow Show Is An Incredible Book.......2005-05-14

Every once in a while, a monumental art event takes place that makes us rethink what can be done to explore mans creative spirit. The Snow Show was one of those rare events that revealed a new vision. The Snow Show combined world-renowned artists and architects in a collaboral effort to create a visual delight. This show will be reflected upon for years to come. There is something almost mystical that happened when ice, light and flames were combined together. The Snow Show book presents this incredible event with beautiful photos and thoughtful narration. It is well designed and very comprehensive. I especially enjoyed the explanations and photos of how the structures were actually built. The Snow Show book is more than just an art book; it explores a beautiful idea with jaw-dropping photography. I wish I could have attended the event. This book does a superb job of recording what happened.

Perfect gift!!.......2005-05-07

I received The Snow Show as a gift and I love it.

It documents an architectural/artistic exhibition in Lapland. Teams of two, one artist and one architect designed and built temporary structures of snow and ice.

The book is primarily comprised of color photographs of the projects. The pictures of the structures, made of snow and ice, with the sun coming through are just breath-taking. They are incredibly beautiful. At the back, each project is elaborated on: The teams, the concepts and processes, including working drawings and photographs.

The book is sooo great, I can't imagine how amazing it must have been in real life. Anyone would enjoy it, architects, artists and laypeople.

Start here if you are a beginning watercolor flower painter.......2002-01-01

It was sheer luck that I picked up this book. I had finished stenciling all my walls, all the wood in my house and was looking for a way to continue when I picked up this wonderful book. It's perfect for a beginner. I loved it and every painting lesson in it. She's clear, she goes at the reader's pace. This isn't for advanced artists or even hobbyists in watercolor of long standing, but it got me into the wonderful world of watercolor painting, a medium I had never tried. Jackson should write more books and give more advanced lessons. Great book.

This is the Best Book I own.......2001-10-19

The lessons are super - also gives you templates to
produce the same pictures with help features along the
way

You can paint flowers with Louise.......2001-03-23

When using this book I found it easy to understand the preliminary sketches and follow them quite easily. The explanations about colors, how to mix them in order to get shades and contrast are superbly explained. The materials used an how to handle them are clear, and "secrets" about which amount of water to use, the techniques of wet over wet and wet on dry are perfectly understandable and easy to follow. once you tested you learned al the "how tos" you can try your own design. Yet, I'd have liked to see more step to step indications if this publication was directed to beginners. This publication is a must for amateur and self-trained watercolorists but not for fresh beginners.

Author's Generosity to Fledglings.......2000-03-02

Besides her obvious talent and teaching ability, Louise Jackson brings a generosity to her book that only someone who is completely secure in her life can do: she has given permission, in the introduction, for her book 'students' to copy the work, sell it, enter it in competitions, as their own. The only thing she asks is that she is mentioned somewhere, as in "after Louise Jackson" under the new artists name. She says judges and purchasers deserve to know that the DESIGN is not original although your rendition is. How is that for sharing? The other thing I noticed is the absence of the word, "I", without which most other artists cannot begin a sentence. I have checked this out of the public library so often they have cut me off. Today I am buying the book from Amazon. Thanks, Louise, for sharing all.

Easy instruction for painting beautiful watercolor flowers.......1999-04-07

If you are interested in painting watercolor flowers, and you are beginning or intermediate painter, this book is a must. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the illustrations are beautiful, as will be your painting if you follow the instructions. I looked at at least 6 other books on painting watercolor flowers, but chose this one because of the ease of the instructions. I highly recommend this book. Please note: as a beginner, I am choosy because many art instruction books are simply over my head at this stage. This one is not, but will make you feel like a professional artist. I hope that the author publishes a second book, and makes this a series!

Had me riveted........1999-01-22

I found it to be scary, interesting and perhaps one of the best accounts of journalistic ethics I've heard of in a long time. Usually I don't equate journalism with ethics, but this little known gem of a story is one of the best books I remember reading in recent years.

fraud?.......2005-08-31

I cant vouch for the book. But, what i can say is that Prepaid legal is on listed on the New York Stock Exchange (PPD). You have to be invited to be on the NYSE. Those of you that know what a company has to go thru to be on and stay on the NYSE knows that Prepaid legal is not a fraud.
