Hi everyone, I have promised to pay a compliment back to a Polish friend by buying them some art materials. She has told me not to as English art prices are ridiculous (can't argue there) and that Polish art materials are much cheaper.
Undeterred, I was wondering if anyone knows of an online art shop I may be able to buy materials from? Thanks in advance :) Actually, while I'm here, could anyone translate "I told you I was determined" into Polish for me? dziękuję :)
I think you need to be more specific. Art materials for painting and drawing or gifts such as paintings, art work etc. There is a big difference. dick blick for art supplies such as paint, brushes, frames.
polart center for gifts...i.e., amber, pottery, crafts
Anybody visiting Poland will be surprised by the range and diversity of folk art and handicrafts that have endured for many years. There is an impressive amount of them in markets and galleries all over the country. What is more, you can even encounter them on the parking areas of major tourist sites. And yet, during the long Communist period, popular artistic expression, often connected with religious or pagan beliefs, was not encouraged. Despite all this, handicraft, like folk dancing and regional costumes, was so dear to the heart of the Poles that they could not do without them.
Merged: UK teacher seeks link for art / sztuka in Poland
I am an art teacher based in Newcastle hoping to make links with any Polish art schools on behalf of Whickham school and sports college. I worked in Czestochowa and Opole teaching EFL from 1996 to 1998. Very good memories. I have some Polish - but haven't used it for 10 years. Need some practise.
Hoping to share good practice, ideas, build a network. Maybe arrange student exchanges in the future.
