Won 6 Oscars. Another 32 wins & 38 nominations.

Tom Hanks delivers an astounding performance as Forrest Gump.

Starring: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Sally Field This was flat out one of the best movies of 1994. It won best picture for a reason, along with a few other Academy Awards. I think one of the tag lines for the movie was, “The world will never be the same once you’ve seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.” How true. The movie is basically one simple man’s journey through life. And what a journey.

The movie opens with Forrest (Hanks) sitting at a bus stop, waiting to go see Jenny (Wright) after being apart from her for years. Who is Jenny, you ask? We’ll get to that in a minute. Forrest strikes up a conversation or two with the people that come and wait for the bus with him. Or, more accurately, he keeps talking regardless of whether anybody is listening or not. The movie plays out as a flashback, with Forrest taking us through all the major events of his life and narrating them.

The flashback starts when Forrest is a little boy, about six years old or so, just at about the age where he should be starting school. We get to take a look at Forrest’s childhood as he gets leg braces to straighten out his back, as his momma (Field) fights (and does a few other things) to get him into public school, and as he meets for the first time the love of his life. Jenny. He meets her on the way to school, sitting next to her on the bus, and they strike up a friendship immediately.

graffiti

While many people associate graffiti with tasteless vandalism, it is also an art that has been appreciated since antiquity. The Italian word from which the word graffiti was derived, coming from Greek graphein meaning “to write,” was first applied to writing on walls in Roman times. While today the term is more loosely used, graffiti still generally denotes artistic writing or drawing. It can be done in a way that does not vandalize or violate the law. Over the years, distinctive styles have evolved that can be instantly recognized as graffiti, even when the writing is on a piece of paper. As with any art, there is no right way to draw graffiti, and you need to develop your own style. This article will provide you with the basics to begin drawing graffiti names on paper, along with several inspirational examples.

Steps

1. Become familiar with different styles of graffiti. Wherever you live, you can probably find graffiti nearby. If not, visit a city–graffiti is predominately urban. If this isn’t possible, go online. Hundreds of websites showcase graffiti; take a virtual tour of styles from across the globe. Some pieces are high-quality, but the more you see the better you’ll know the characteristic styles.
