Heads Up... Hands Up

Stereotype 1: "Are you kedding man, of corse I love it, it's mai cantry, z byramidz, the mehwar, the tawar!"
Stereotype 2: "Don’t you dare say something about Egypt, and don’t you even think about saying you don't like living in it!!!"

I bet most of us have either said or heard those two stereotype sentences either to or from one of their friends, and people kept saying those sentences till they became like the new Gucci hit. So chill out lads this won't be a "how or why should you love your country class", but let's assume for a second that all of us really love Egypt-and it truly worth loving- but not for its our homeland but because it worth loving for all that it had and could have back again "GLORY"; The question is what have we done or are we doing to help this old lady back to its youth again, and prove that " ah.. Yeah we love Egypt, and yeah sure we're patriots?!"

Certainly we all agree that patriotism is not just a word, it’s an action, and saying that you love Egypt for 280943839 years is worthless unless you be a grown up an act like one!, and I'm not saying that you wake up next morning and bark demonstrations like those we see, and end up tying the top button in your shirt… love it and be reasonable in making it better.
You can also prove that you’re a patriot through other ways: You can start by doing your work as it should be, prove that conscious is not just a myth, because I'm sure it's inside each one of us, and that's the least that could be done.
You can prove people wrong in a polite debate when they start saying the "Egyptian are stupid, worthless" record, the least that could be said to people like these; " then you see yourself as a worthless stupid person?", and know well that when Egyptians get the chance to prove their intelligence they do.
Before anyone start complaining about the amount of trash in the streets, don't throw anything outside the trash can, and advise anyone you know or see not to do such an action, and believe me it's not a myth, my friend taught me that and let's say it's a pay back to her.
Writing, Drawing, or any sort of art, is a way of exporting and sharing you feelings of, loving your country, and your methodology towards a better nation. And remember not to discuss a problem without suggesting a solution for it!!
Love and respect everyone, as an Egyptian, as an Arab, as a fellow in belief, or even as a Human Being; this will help us discover new ideas, and Quote from them, because "Masterpiece Makers, Started with Cloning from their masters, then they added their own touch to it"
And last but not least remember, true patriotism comes out of pure will, not by wanting people to call you a patriot.

So as you have seen any person can contribute in something to make this country, "Our Country" back on its feet again through the simplest action, and eventually make it a better nation. Knowing that, nobody cares or will care about the good of this country, or this nation but the people who belong to it. No matter what kind of sparkling, glittery alluring change comes from the outside; it won't be as effective as coming from the inside.
So I would like you to mail me and tell me, what you have done, or want to do to prove that… you're the man! , and of course your crits about the article.

Peace Y'all;)

Works of the PROZ in Ma Faculty

For this Post, I thought I'll Dedicate it to some of those people who inspire me whether by their Techniques or by their Ideology, I had the honour of Having those guys as my teachers and lecturers at my Faculty, and I thank first God and Second them for teaching me alot of deals even if they were just words that they once said! :D Dr. Hanan M. El- Sheikh (Never taught me Academically, But talking to her- or even Chatting- gives me a motive to do Better, To Be Better, & To know that I'm not Only Being an artist for me, But for this younger generation that will come later.

Dr. Emad Rezk (taught me al the way since first yr. in Painting Dept., He's a Very Very Good listener, Very friendly and quiet, and when he gives you the Advice, It's right to the point, and Even though I saw his paintings only this year, technically, as you can see his colourful paintings just brings happiness to me everytime I see them)
Asmaa Al Nawawy (Well... I don't seem to Find words to describe How much I'm a Fan Of the work of this lady! Really. I first knew Asmaa el nawawy through her works like 2 or 3 ys. ago in the annual exhibition "Fel Kadr"- Along side with Moh. Banawy and H. El- sheikh and others- and since then her tech. became one of my Most favourite and a symbol of Elegance, Sharpness and Fluency at the same time, But I met Her in person, only this year, I really didn't know what she looked like, and when they told me that there she was standing rite behind me one day, I couldn't belive it at first coz i always used to see her in our Atelier but I thought she was one of the Fresh Grads. i didn't Know!, and well she's a very good friend of Dr. Hanan El Sheikh, so that also might say alot about her friendly personality! I hope I get to know them both better oneday!)

I also must add the Sincere Professors who are resembles the earlier generations, but unfortunately i still don't have fotos of their Great Works:

-Professor Dr. Saber Mahmoud (Born 1945): (Taught me since my first year in painting, he nearly taught me everything i know form inside the college, and because of the long time teaching us he nearly knows exactly how everyone of us thinks! His theory of teaching is to help the students improve themselves by their ownselves, that's why he never laid a brush stroke in anyone's painting and he never actually painted infront of us before, I don't know any works of him, unfortunately. But I totally respect his teaching opinions and try to take the most info i can get out of him to make myself better!, and to know my level among others)

-Professor Dr. Mamdouh Ammar (Born 1928): He Only taught us this year (the final year), and i must admit that our first interaction wasn't really that happy:) But as soon as i went back home that day i realized that every word he said was exactly right!!, And ever since that day, i thank god everyday that he gave me the chance of learning form that person! Litterally, EVERY WORD that he says, is a Wisdom Quote for me and Hits the target "Bulls Eye" . He's the type of professor/ or better say Mentor, that only helps you when he knows you need him, as long as you don't ask him, he won't suggest anything to you... Fair Enough to me! So just like Dr. Saber, He has the same theory, which is why I never saw any of his paintings, but all that is very well known about him is that he's more of the Academic Style- Unlike Dr. Saber who i guess loves Modigliani.

So to all of them Old or young, Thanks.:)
