One thing you will certainly be impressed with is the types of interactive designs that most web programmers put into sites today. Menus can be enhanced using dropdown options or even simple highlights. While they may seem technical, they are scripts that can be easy to use.

Underneath the Title Bar are other bars that can be used for moving around the Internet. If you are looking for quick and easy ways to navigate, the bars located at the top of your screen under the Title Bar will be helpful. One of the most useful bars is the Menu Bar. You will quickly appreciate each of the options found on the Menu Bar.

One thing that most people are not really aware of just yet is to search for things at the best accuracy possible. You can type the usual key phrases but with lots of sites on the web, chances are you cannot immediately pinpoint the information you are looking for.

Using the + or the " " on the actual keywords can help. It helps get towards the actual terms you are looking for. There will be times they may not work due to errors in spelling or lack of terms on the web. Take these symbols out because the best possible results will be showed in the first pages anyway.

Static web sites have web pages saved on the server where users can view them. There are three main categories of software which are used in editing static web sites: a) Text editors like Notepad or TextEdit where HTML can be altered directly using the editor program; b) WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver (known before as Macromedia Dreamweaver) which can edit the web site using a GUI interface and can automatically generate the underlying HTML, and; c) Template-based editors like iWeb and Rapidweaver wherein users can easily make and upload web sites to a web server even without any background in using HTML since they can always choose templates from the available palette and modify using pictures and text.

Website owners and web developers have the opportunity to turn their websites into something profitable and they usually do this either by making: a) Content based sites, or web sites which get revenue by selling advertising space on their site, or; b) Product or service based sites wherein products or services are offered to users (the user is provided with a payment form on the site where he can enter his credit card number or input other payment information). These two methods can also be combined in order to derive revenue and this is normally done by online auctions web sites where they charge users for availing its auction service and also shows third-party advertisements.

Contents on a dynamic web page like text, form fields, images can create navigation interactivity based on different situations or contexts. Basically, there are two techniques which can produce interactivity:

* You can use client-side scripting to alter interface behaviors in a particular web page which can react to mouse or keyboard actions or at an indicated timing event. Through this, dynamic behavior happens within the presentation.

* You can use server-side scripting to alter the given page source between pages, changing the sequence or reload of the web content or web pages supplied to the browser. Server responses may be based on conditions such as data in a posted HTML form, parameters found in the URL, the kind of browser used, the database or server state or the passage of time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlos Botelho (September 18, 1899, Lisbon - August 18, 1982, Lisbon), was a Portuguese painter, illustrator and caricaturist, whose works are shown at the Chiado Museum and at the Modern Art Centre José de Azeredo Perdigão / Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in Lisbon. He was one of the most relevant Portuguese artists of his generation.[1]

Carlos Botelho was an only child to parents who were musicians, and it was music that dominated his childhood. His father dies in 1910.

He attends secondary school at the Pedro Nunes Grammar School, in Lisbon. This is where he holds his first solo exhibition and befriends Bento de Jesus Caraça and Luís Ernâni Dias Amado. He then enrolls in the Lisbon School of Fine Arts, which he abandons after a short time, then ending his conventional training. Botelho will be an eminently self-taught artist.

He marries Beatriz Santos Botelho in 1922. The marriage bears two children: José Rafael and Raquel.

Between 1926 and 1929 he regularly draws comic strips for the children's weekly ABCzinho, "and is the author of almost the entire front and back pages of each issue, in color".[2]

In 1928 he starts a comic page in the weekly publication Sempre Fixe, a collaboration that he maintains for over 22 years and which was the stage for a caustic criticism of a vast range of issues, going from trivial matters of daily life in Lisbon to some of the most relevant events in international life. On 8 December 1950, the date when he ended that monumental cycle of work, his Ecos da Semana (Echoes of the Week) made a total of about 1,200 pages, "in a continuous discourse with no intervals or holidays".[3]

"Ecos da Semana are a double, and triple, diary – of the author, between his 29 and 51 years of age, and of a country, or of a world"; but they are also "a diary of the unsaid". In a country strangled by censorship, "national politics is excluded from commentary; […] such were the rules of the game" [2]. This did not stop him, for example, from "confronting the build-up to World War II, through remarkable, crushing drawings making fun of Mussolini and Hitler".[4]

In 1929 Botelho is a well-known humorist. That year he leaves for Paris, where he attends the Free Academies like the Grande Chaumière; that was the turning point in his career, leading him to definitively opt for painting: "Botelho's first painting of Lisbon is from 1929: a view from the cupola of the Estrela Basilica, geometrically constructed, with a dense matter […], using expressive thickness of paint".[5]

Maturity

Throughout the 1930s, Botelho has several stays abroad, working on the Portuguese participation in major international exhibitions. He works on the Portugal pavilion at the International and Colonial Exhibition of Vincennes, Paris, 1930–31, and on the Portugal stand at the Lyon International Fair, 1935. From 1937 on he is a member, along with Bernardo Marques and Fred Kradolfer, of the SPN (Secretariat for National Propaganda) team of decorators charged with producing the Portugal pavilions at the exhibition of Paris, New York and San Francisco: International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques, Paris, 1937; 1939 New York World's Fair; Golden Gate International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1939.

In 1930 he sets up in his studio in the Costa do Castelo, next to St George's Castle, Lisbon, in the house that his wife, a primary education teacher, had a right to due to her position. The location of the house, where he lived until 1949, no doubt influenced his subject matter, providing him with subjects and references that marked his artistic career.

In 1937, during his stay in Paris, he visits a retrospective of the work of Van Gogh which leaves him "extremely impressed",[6] strengthening the expressive violence of his painting; and he discovers Ensor on a brief visit to Flanders.

In 1938 he receives the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso prize for the portrait of his father.

In 1939 he wins 1st Prize at the International Contemporary Art Exposition, San Francisco, USA, which allows him to buy the land and later build his house/studio in Buzano, Parede (near to Lisbon).

In 1940 he is a member of the decorating team for the Portuguese World Exhibition, Lisbon; and at the 5th Modern Art Exhibition, SPN, Lisbon, he receives the Columbano Prize.

In 1949 he is forced to leave the house in the Costa do Castelo, and he settles in Buzano.

From 1955 on he returns to Lisbon to live, now far from the historic centre, in the new neighborhood of Areeiro.

In 1969 he retires from his position in the Technical Services of the SNI (National Information Secretariat), Palácio Foz, where he had worked since the 1940s.

Work

"For Botelho the thirties are a thrilling decade full of extremely dense production",[7] and his painting is formally characterized by a strong connection to expressionism. Within it one can detect three different strands of subject matter:

Firstly, the urban landscape of the city in which he was born and lived. Lisbon soon stands out as the "predominant iconography, even the body of the deepening of the painter's recourses and of their successive poetics". It is not, however, the almost single path we find in his later work: "landscape is enunciated […] as a possibility in this recently-started career, but it is not yet the imperative matrix of the future". Botelho will also paint other cities: Paris, Florence, Amsterdam, New Orleans and, above all, New York: "In terms of Portuguese art at the end of the […] nineteen thirties, these paintings are located at the vanguard of everything that was being done at the time".[8]

Alongside the urban landscapes, and "intending to free himself from the strict appreciation that had consecrated him as a humorist", Botelho turns his attention to the social realm in works that thematically and stylistically bring him close to the "expressionist painting of the Northern European tradition, enunciating a sense of research that could be connoted to Van Gogh's Dutch period".[9] His acrobats, his blind men and fishermen are solid and dense figures, showing us another facet of his work.

The third path that will occupy him throughout the initial decade is the portrait, which will culminate in the portraits of Beatriz, his parents and his children. And if the portrait of Botelho's father, from 1937, is "an axial moment in his work", the portraits of his children are the final step in the autonomization of his approach: "No concession to the conventional taste in these two portraits, no sentimentality for the models, but rather a brusqueness of gesture and of attitude, as if his intimate relationship with them in no way affected his desire for painting".[10]

From the nineteen 1930s onwards Botelho's Lisbon becomes an intensely personal realm, capable of revealing something profound, granting us "the view of an archetypical city whose beauty is the mediating form of the truth of a people or of its specific anthropology […]. With a great simplicity of processes and effects, [Botelho] created a plastic universe as the symbolic and imaginative mirror of one of the most significant facets of the Portuguese spirit".[11] He records the city, "but, more deeply, he invents it, shifting the accidents and the places, subjecting them to a plastic demand. Yet we deeply acknowledge that this "painted" city is as real, or more real (?), than the existing one".[12]

His painting will subtly change. The softening of the expressionist intensity opens up paths to a different poetic dimension and to a new awareness of the canvas' flatness. In the 1950s that option becomes radicalized: "Botelho starts out from modernist principles, like the autonomy of the line [or] the rejection of Renaissance perspective",[13] in "different" works in which he more than ever comes close to abstraction.

The formal principles he investigates in these works will reappear shortly after under a different guise in the formal structuring of the urban landscapes that occupy him until the end: "The last productive clash came with the affirmation of abstractionism in the 1950s, via the Paris school and Vieira da Silva, and this was decisive for the cycles of his long final production: he did not cut off the metaphorical body of Lisbon [...] but disciplined it in rhymes and chromatic spatialities in which light is the determining referent.[14]

Exhibitions / Collections

Botelho exhibited his work in numerous solo and group exhibitions, among which one may highlight: 25th Venice Biennial, 1950; 1st Sao Paulo Biennial, 1951; 3rd Sao Paulo Biennial, São Paulo, Brazil, 1955; 4th Sao Paulo Biennial, 1957; 1st Exhibition of Fine Arts, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, 1957; 50 Years of Modern Art, Brussels, 1958; 30th Venice Biennial; 2nd Exhibition of Fine Arts, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, 1961; 8th Sao Paulo Biennial, 1965; etc.

He is represented in many public and private collections, such as: Lisbon City Council (Câmara Municipal de Lisboa); Chiado Museum, Lisbon; Modern Art Centre José de Azeredo Perdigão, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon; Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo, Brazil; etc.
