The first part of this video is concerned with the installation of a new WordPress Blog. If you wish to review the basics of making posts at Artvilla and would like to be one of the total idiots who work for free for something called art or poetry or music and you feel journalistic in a moment of weakness or whatever just contact us.

Egret Poem by Michael Estabrook
Egret
Tall gray bird, an egret I think, standing
in the shallows of a small pond over in
the fields behind the high school,
poised, quiet, elegant, intensely
focused, his head with its long beak
snapping suddenly like a whip
into the water, stabbing at one
of the innumerable, plump, brown
tadpoles beginning to kick their frog
legs. But he misses, comes up dry,
his beady eyes staring down
into the dark water, incredulous
at having missed and,
if I didn’t know better, a little
bit embarrassed about it too.

Sundown Poem by Robert P Jackson
Red light orchestrates softly across the evening sky
The disappearing horizon becomes more evident
I feel as if I”m sliding away with the turning of the earth
Darkness settles in, and a new life begins
Stars circle in the open air
Lying enriched in their dark blanket
Soft Cirrus clouds lasso the moon for a brief moment
The nights chill rolls across the land
Dew begins to rest on the blades of grass
A hovering fog forms

Assassin’s Creed 3 Art
The Art of Assassin’s Creed 3
Assassin’s Creed 3 the video game is the story of one man reliving the lives of his ancestors. Assassin’s Creed 3 is the only video game you can play through history assuming the identity your ancestors. The game is set between the years 1753 and 1783 and focuses on Connor Kenway, who fought during the American Revolution. Connor the ancestor and the main character in Assassin’s Creed 3 explore places going back in time to the American Revolution.
By playing the game you can tell right away a tremendous effort went into the making of the Assassin’s Creed. And as always with all three Assassin’s Creed games the art work is impressive. When “game” and “art” come together video games becomes a truly beautiful experience. If you are not able to play the game but want to see the art work look at the book by Andy McVittie (a limited edition art book with signed prints for Assassin’s Creed 3) shows the finely honed and evocative historical images blended into the video game. Immerse yourself in these images and feel the past come to life.
