Japanese Instagram Users Are Sharing Photos Of Fallen Leaves Artworks . They’re Pretty Stunning!
Wow! This is so impressive!
Instagram users over at the Land of the Rising Sun are sharing with us some photos of amazing artworks made with fallen leaves. Yes, you read that right – fallen leaves!
Who would’ve thought that leaves can be a medium for art, right?
Most of us would have simply swept those leaves away and threw them into the dumpsters but apparently, some locals thought they made interesting materials for creating pieces of art.
The Japanese are calling this new trend as “ochiba art” which literally translates to “fallen leaf art” and we’re absolutely mindblown with the stuff they came up with. They’ve gathered and combined leaves of different colors and shapes to produce these “transient masterpieces,” as RocketNews24 describes them.
We really can’t help but admire the patience and attention to details. Go scroll down and see for yourself:

Art Student Trolls Professor with Hidden Message in Her Drawing
Have you ever wanted to get back at a professor for assigning multiple projects all on the same day?
Deadlines are the bane of a student's existence, especially since some professors assign projects and set deadlines all at the same time. It may be possible to start working on some of these projects earlier so you can move on to the next ones, but inspiration can be hard to come by. And if anything, deadlines also add to one's inspiration to pass a subject and not have to repeat it in the next semester.
One design student has almost had it with her professor, and so she decided to subtly speak up against it in one of her submissions.
Lama Ali's professor gave her three finals to finish all on the same day. Considering these are artwork submissions, it would be almost impossible to conceptualize, execute, and finalize her artwork while also getting some time off to eat and sleep.
You have to admit that this fashion drawing is beautiful, even if you aren't able to spot the hidden message.

Weirdly enough, the palace has no livable rooms, as it is primarily composed of corridors and gardens where the then ruler of Jaipur enjoyed strolls. Its architectural design adds to the uniqueness of the palace, being influenced by both Hindu and Persian architecture.
Jal Mahal stands in the middle of the man-made lake, flaunting its sand-colored glory.
Little is known about the history of the curious structure except that it was erected on the order of Maharaja Madho Singh I, one of the well-known rulers of the area during the 1800s, as a venue for duck hunting parties. ...
