This beautiful photograph of the Yosemite waterfall, located in one of the most spectacular places in the world, with<br />
Daniel's famous art quotation at the bottom is for sale. Profit<br />
received from this project will benefit the underprivileged<br />
and art education. Daniel's art quotation is gaining attention around the world. This photograph can be purchased with or without framing in sizes from 8x10 and up, available from gloss prints through canvas and the cost is very reasonable.. The beautiful photograph is above average and would<br />
be magnificent hanging in your den or office. The quality of<br />
this piece of art would be very impressive on the wall of an<br />
art museum.<br />
For those of you who knew Daniel, you would be very impressed that his art quotation has been discovered around the world. It should be noted that word was received from a world famous artist noting his acceptance and appreciation for Daniel's quotation. This a<span style="text-align: justify;">rtist indicated that I would receive feedback from others that this quotation makes no sense, but he told me </span>that if I did receive this type of feedback to pay no attention, as they are showing their ignorance about what true art is. Art is commonly known as brush, paint, and canvas, but true art as implied by Daniel's quote is "creativity", and life without art (creativity) we would be stuck with just reality. True art in our society is man's ability to master creativity, a dancer, inventor, architect, singer, musician, etc. It was like he read my mind as I was receiving about 85% in favor and 15% against. I never could understand why someone would take the effort to complain and just not discard.

<br />
I've been sending out 100's of requests for donation for Daniel's art program. I've received some very<br />
nice donations over the years from people like you. With the success of Daniel's art program it has grown<br />
to become very successful. The past few years donations have been very tight because of the economy<br />
To bring you UP-date the DRL Art program has given 100's of Art teacher grants for special art projects to help educate about art but in many ways help in math, critical thinking, and so much more than just drawing pictures.<br />
<br />
The DRL art committee meets once a month during the<br />
school year. Art teachers can submit a grant request for a project that they are considering. And if the<br />
project needs more funding than the school can provide, then the teachers make a detailed request to the<br />
DRL art committee . Prior to submission the grant request must be approved by the school President and the over-all art coordinator for the school system. When the DRL art committee receives it they have many<br />
requirements that it must meet. Hoe many students will receive benefit form the grant. The detailed merit<br />
of the grant must receive specific requirements for art education. If any one would like to learn about the<br />
details, please visit www.cefut.org ( Art Program )<br />
<br />
One road block received from potential donors is that the DRL Art Program is only approved for the Cache Education School system. And most note that their donations must go to their own community's And that<br />
that on the service makes sense. I would feel much better if they actually make a donation to their own<br />
community . Also been receiving many requests to my Email requesting consideration for funding from other<br />
community's and individual's and many are very worth wile requests.<br />
<br />
So a new approach is being implemented. A separate fundraiser is being implamanted donation donations<br />
so funding can be forwarded both to the DRL Art Program and when a separate request made and the the request is worthy then a grant can be made . And it is all legal and benefiting other art education. Only those<br />
requests requests receive will be considered> Along with Daniel's DRL Art Program.<br />

This post is to bring you up to date on a new fund raiser for Art Education in Daniel's honor and memory. Those of you that have been following Daniel's Art program with-in the Cache Education Foundation www.cefut.org ( Art Program ) know what amazing work it's doing for Art Education and<br />
Scholarships for Art students.<br />
<br />
Have been attempting fund raising or many years now. And it's been very successful. However the last few<br />
years with our present condition in our economy donation have been tight.<br />
<br />
We've had many requests received from both art students and educators to help from outside the Cache<br />
Education Foundation in Logan UT. and there charter is for the Cache County District School System<br />
so help cannot be provided for these requests through the Daniel Robert Lynch (DRL) Art Education and<br />
Scholarship Program. And many of these outside requests have been very genuine and very discouraging<br />
not to be able to help.<br />
<br />
We have set up another fund raiser to allow funding both the DRL Art program and other outside requests<br />
that we receive. One very big obstacle has been that most requests are turned down because communities<br />
wish to made donations to help others with-in their communities And that makes sense. So our new fund<br />
raising project will be open to ALL requests for consideration, both the DRL Art program and others.<br />
<br />
Would like to say a big THANK YOU for the nice donation from Tim Regan one of Daniel's friends at the<br />
Triton Hotel in San Francisco .THANK YOU Tim.!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
In my last post I told you I would bring you up to date about the bronze fund raiser for The Cache Education Foundation DRL Art Education and Scholarship program. Bottom line is that the bronze was put on the shelf. After all the effort it was determined that with the cost of the bronze " Artists In Thought" is just too great to make sense as a fund raiser. The rules for a not for profit donation if you offering any thing of value.<br />
the cost for the bronze to be made in the foundry, shipping and any small profit that would be available would not allow only a small percentage of the cost of the bronze to provide any insensitive for a donation.<br />
<br />
The cost for a foundry to make the bronze to the museum quality that is is just wont work.I hoped that the<br />
" Artist in Thought " would be popular item for Art Galleries ETC. that a reliable donation funds would be a<br />
consistency source of income for the DRL Art Education and Scholarship Program<br />
<br />

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>This table model of the Bronze is so the request for a sculptor rendering can be forwarded to</i></b><br />

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>When the Bronze fund raiser is ready, it will be noted here and details will posted.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>

At the bronze factory now. Continuing from last<br />
post. Daniel's life sized bronze well cost between $80-100,000 dollars. In an attempt to find a fund raiser<br />
for Daniel's bronze has been un-successful. So another approach is being take, The bronze artist suggested<br />
that a table top bronze be manufactured so potential Art Gallery's who have shown interest in Daniel's<br />
bronze will be able to see it through pictures. Interest has been received from potential museum's from a<br />
word description of the bronze and all have requested a rendering of the bronze before a final decision can<br />
be made by their Directors. The bronze from the foundry is an 18" table Top sculptor. A 3D 9" sculptor<br />
is being produced and the bronze is going to be a business card holder for Art Gallery's and museums and<br />
for high end Corporations that can appreciate a top quality bronze.<br />
<br />
This bronze is of the height's quality produced here in the U.S.A. not a quick produced item from China or<br />
Mexico. This bronze will be of the highest quality that can be produced . And each bronze requested will<br />
be made at the factory. and shipped to the customer. Once again it's a request for you to check back soon and view Daniel's bronze. Yes any profit received will go towards Daniel's life sized bronze and his DRL<br />
Art Education Foundation Art Program www.cefut.org ( Art Program ) Hopefully a picture of Daniel's<br />
bronze in the next entry.dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-84588874870409077302014-08-25T20:17:00.000-07:002014-08-25T20:17:58.366-07:00Daniel's bronzeThis is an update on the bronze statue of Daniel and where it is in the project pipe line!<br />
An Artist Sculptor has been chosen and the bronze is in process. However, a couple of<br />
road blocks have popped up. A fund raising company has agreed to put on a fundraiser for<br />
the bronze and the artist has agreed to work with the foundation and the fundraiser. At this<br />
stage, the preliminary bronze model is being developed. I just found out that the foundation<br />
doing the the fundraiser let it be known that if the full amount requested to be raised cannot<br />
be raised in total, the money will be kept by the foundation and not released. When the<br />
artist found this out, he was very disappointed and did some research and found that the<br />
average amount requested by others in their fundraiser ran between $5,000-10,000 and many<br />
were unable to reach the requested amount. The amount requested to be raised for the bronze<br />
was $60,000 and that is taking in account the money that the artist is donating for this life-size<br />
bronze, so we had to regroup and come up with another fundraiser.<br />
<br />
The artist had already started on the bronze and it has been decided to do a table-top<br />
bronze 18" and in the meantime locate another foundation to help with the funding.<br />
It has been suggested that we also consider a grant, perhaps from a wealthy person<br />
who is an admirer of art. When the 18" table-top bronze is finished it will be available to<br />
show a potential donor what the bronze will look like. Also, they would be invited to the<br />
unveiling at the American Art Museum Smithsonian.<br />
<br />
So, at this date, the bronze is in the manufacturing cycle, with some more hard work to<br />
have the bronze life-sized finished.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
you who follow Daniel's site, I have some very interesting news:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Recently,
I received a suggestion, that because of the way Daniel lived his
life and his very sincere love of art, that consideration should be
given to have a bronze statue made of Daniel and donate it to an art
museum. That suggestion really hit close to home with me,
particularly because Daniel loved to visit often the deYoung and
Legion of Honor Art Museums in San Francisco. When his mother and I
would visit, Daniel would take us to those museums. How many young
people would take their parents to an art museum on a visit? Daniel
was so impressed with all art museums, it was amazing. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thinking
realistically about having a bronze statue made of Daniel, the chance
of something like that happening was maybe one in a million. But
knowing Daniel's love of art and art museums and then considering
that if something isn't at tried, the percentage for success is zero,
so I decided to contact a few bronze statue artists to inquire what
the cost of creating a bronze statue would be. I've learned that a
bronze statue is just identified as “bronze,” so in the future
when the word “bronze” is used, it is the bronze statue.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hearing
back from a number of bronze artists was yes it was doable, but the
cost would be between $80,000 and $100,000 for a life-sized statue.
Well, that put it out of my reach, no way could I afford that. I
received word from a very well know bronze artist who had done some
research about Daniel and the wonderful job the DRL Art Program is
doing for art education and she indicated that she would be willing
to create a bronze statue of Daniel for $50,000 if the bronze would
be accepted by an art museum. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Therefore,
I began sending out inquires to a number of art museums describing
the bronze and requesting their interest in having it donated to
their museum. I received a couple of answers that were not
committal, but they requested to see a rendering of the bronze for
further consideration. I haven't yet sent a request to the deYoung
and Legion of Honor Museums, as I didn't want to receive a no from
them.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
answers I received were what I was hoping for, not a rejection but a
“maybe.” I then contacted the Cache Education Foundation which
is the parent foundation for the DRL Art Program. The DRL Program
director was very impressed and took the my request to the board to
see if they would consider a not-for-profit fundraiser for the
bronze. It was brought out that any money received as a donation to
the Cache Education Foundation had to go directly to the student, it
could not be used for trips, conferences, bronze, etc. That was a
big let down, but I understood why the Foundation does business that
way, because of all the abuse by many other foundations with the</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">money
they receive not benefiting the the core reason of its functioning.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One
overlooked item here is a reply was that I received from an art
museum that they would consider the bronze if a letter of intent a
long with a rendering of the and that we would meet some other
requirements. That request was from the American Art Museum at the
Smithsonian, the world's largest and most prominent art museum. The
task to find a not-for-profit organization that would consider a
fundraiser for the bronze is the next big issue. Many like
organizations have been contacted and but they all are interested in
fundraisers which would be local and bring money in for there
foundation. That also makes sense.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At
this juncture, I have been in contact with a not-for-profit
foundation that understands the project and is considering it. This
foundation wants to talk with the bronze artist and hopefully within
a few days something can be worked out for a fundraiser. At this
moment, a Letter of Intent and a rendering of the bronze is in
process and shortly we will know if the Smithsonian American Art
Museum will accept the donation of the bronze of Daniel. Please keep
checking back and see the progress (hopefully) we are making.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
million to one suggestion is now about 70-80% success! I haven't
mentioned the artist of the bronze or the foundation for fundraising
at this time, when and if this bronze becomes a reality, I certainly
will let you know the artist and the foundation and that the
Smithsonian American Art Museum accepts the bronze.</span></span></span></div>

And would like for you visitors to learn and know something<br />
about this remarkable young Artist. I'm not able to understand or accept Daniel's life being taken from<br />
him with the sincere and honest person he was and the world full of people who just want to take from<br />
others, kill, steal and have no concern about their fellow man. Daniel was such a " giving " person and<br />
was the type of person who understood that to reach your goal it took hard wook and dedication. He<br />
missed quite a lot of activities that other people enjoy because he knew that when his goal "dream" was<br />
met he could do those activities then. Reaching his "dream" was the most important thing to him. He<br />
worked harder than 95% of people to reach his "dream" and to have his life taken by someone he<br />
didn't even know and by a "mistake" and a act of Violence is unacceptable. <br />
<br />
The one positive thing out of this terable tragity is The Daniel Robert Lynch (DRL) Art Education and<br />
Scholarship Program in his honor and memory. This wonderful program is such a belessing in Daniel's<br />
Legacy.For those of you that this is the first knowledge of Daniel's DRL Art Program please take a <br />
moment and visit the Cache Education Foundation <a href="http://www.cefut.org/">http://www.cefut.org</a> ( Art Program ) that Daniel's<br />
DRL program is with-in . The Cache Education Foundation is such a "giving" organization, not just<br />
in Art but in every subject with-in the school system.<br />
<br />
I realize this is a Dad speaking, and all fathers have a great opinion of there sons or daughters. <br />
To let you see and understand the deepness of Daniel's charater I'm going to let you read a paper <br />
that Daniel did for a High School project. Those of you who have read "Daniel's Dream " know the<br />
story. Daniel's class was iven an assignment to write about some thing they owned that would tell<br />
the most about them ! Below is Daniel's paper he turned in.<br />
<br />
My Class Assignment<br />
<br />
When I heard of this assignment I looked all around my house at everything I own for something I own that says the most about me, I could find things that I liked, such as posters, souvenirs from places I've been, or<br />
my car. I could explain why I liked these things. I liked my car because it's fast and fun to drive. I like this particular action figure because I like the Simpsons. But the more I look , the more I realized that in a<br />
hundred years I don't want to br remembered by the material possessions I owned. I think that if yiu can <br />
be summed up by a physical item, then it doesn't say anything good about you. It says you've dedicated your life to something frivolous.<br />
<br />
I feel you should be remembered for what you did. You should be remembered for how you change the<br />
world, such as George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi, and Joseph Stalin. these people were remembered for what they created, the people they helped or the brutal way they oppressed a nation. You can't describe who these people were with some meaningless item. They probably owned something that said something<br />
about them, but what they are know for is what they did. So in one hundred years I want to be remembered<br />
the same way, not by my house or car. but by my actions. That being said the truth is I could not think of one single thing to write about that could fill up more than a paragraph, so I came up with this ridiculous<br />
idea.<br />
<br />
Daniel R. Lynch<br />
<br />
This "classic" writing assignment tells a lot about Daniel. One thing Daniel had was the ability to think<br />
"out side the box" Even when Daniel was in geammer school he many times would present a diferent <br />
view that I had never even thought about and his view made perfect sense.<br />
<br />
So The DRL Art Education and Scholarship Program fits so well for Daniel's Legacy.<br />
" So in one hundred years I want to be remembered for what I did ! Daniel didn't have the chance to<br />
to judged on "What he did " but his Legacy will be remembered for the way he live during his short<br />
life and what his DRL Art Education and Scholarship Program is doing for Art Education, his Love and Dream.dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-75813195595297524912012-09-30T13:05:00.001-07:002012-09-30T13:05:12.342-07:00Reality QuestionI've been receiving many replys to Daniel's Art quote. About 1/3 to 1/4 feel that it doesn't relate to<br />
reality. I've been doing research about tje meaning of reality. And I must confess, there all very<br />
different thoughts about what is reality. What is your opinion ? Basically "What is ,IS" is that reality?<br />
<br />
I never gave it much thought, but now I'm very interested in other's opinon's My thinking is that reality<br />
in it's basic form is the Way thing are , Both positive and negitive. I believe Daniel's saw it as life in it's<br />
basics. I remember when he had a down day, Just watching the Simpsons his day brightened. On a <br />
basic level just viewing a cartoon can make a difference at that moment ( reality ) seem changed to<br />
the better. That's about as basic as you can get. But ART, creative minds can change reality both <br />
for the Good or bad. <br />
<br />
Do I have the right opinion or not. Daniel's Quote " My inspiration is ART...... because without art<br />
we would just be stuck with reality " fit's with-in my opinion. I've received a few opinions that<br />
put down Daniel's quote in a very negative way. And I can't understand why people just take there<br />
personal view and live with it. Daniel was NOT an authority on reality, nor was his quote the <br />
approved definition for "Realiy".<br />
<br />
For those who read this I'd be very interested in your view of what reality is. I'm some what impressed<br />
that so many people are feeling that Dans opinion is the authority on the subject. The world is made up<br />
of various opinions on ALL subjects. Received comment's that those who appreciate Daniel's quote,<br />
just don't understnd basics. And if the rating on Daniel's quote on <a href="http://www.quoteland.com/">http://www.Quoteland.com</a> means any thing then that say's something Author (Daniel Robert Lynch ) has had 109 votes in this short period and with a rating system between 0-----10 His quote has a 9.22 rating out of 10 so many believe it's a Superior quotation. The average runs between 5-7 for Good quotations.<br />
<br />
If some one just belives that ART is just pictures then I can see the responses I've received ,but many <br />
have been by very well educated smart people, so I'm scratching my head. I know it doesn't make any<br />
difference ,but as Daniel's Father, it does propose a question. As I've allways just considered it just a <br />
'quote'. Then it has ben discovered and now it's a large question to his Father. I'm wondering why it<br />
has hit such a nerve. But I think Daniel would be smiling knowing that his quote has so many opinions.<br />
<br />

Daniel's DRL Art Education and Scholarship Program is in it's sixth year and has<br />
been very successful in helping Art Education by providing teacher grants for special projects, equipment<br />
and supplies which are not covered by the school budgets. Those who follow this blog realize the serious concern for Art Education today and in a few years, most minor subjects, i.e. music, performing arts,<br />
sports and other subjects and activities that don't meet the CORE SUBJECTS such as math, reading, science, etc. will not have funds in the school budgets to support these EXTRA activities. Some of you feel that this makes a lot of sense because many of these subjects are not needed in today's society for a student to get a good education. On the surface that may seem reasonable, like I've noted before, children drawing<br />
pictures doesn't fit within a good education requirement. However, nothing could be farther from the truth.<br />
<br />
I know that many of you have read "Danial's Dream" where I've gone into depth about this subject. But those who are visiting this site for the first time need to know that many of these so called unnecessary minor subjects are extremely important for a well rounded and balanced education.<br />
<br />
Here I am getting deep into education when this blog is about the DRL Art Education and Scholarship<br />
Program fundraiser. For those of you who have a moment, please visit the referenced websites listed below, they are safe and secure.<br />

Program. Factually, Mr. Al Agnew was the initial inspiration to Daniel for becoming an artist. When<br />
Daniel was in grammar school one of his subjests was to draw and Dan would draw at home. It was nothing special, like every kid draws, but he just liked to draw. He had a chance to go to an art gallery that was featuring a young artist, Al Agnew. That experience changed Daniel's life. Daniel fell in love with one of Al Agnew's pictures of a fox in the woods. Daniel talked his mom and dad into buying the beautiful drawing. Mr. Agnew took the time to talk with Daniel, not just a few seconds but a very meaningful one, and on the back of the picture, an artist's proof) Al wrote a message to Daniel that followed him through the rest of his life. He said that anythig in life worth doing is worth doing the best you can and that Daniel should practice his art just like practicing basketball. To be the best will take extremely dedicated effort. <br />
<br />
The one great quality that Daniel possesed was his dedication to study hard and be the best he could be. He played baseball and he wasn't the best player but he was one that tried the hardest worker on his team and his coach could see the extra effort Daniel put out and in the final championship all Daniel's hard work paid off. For those of you who have read "Daniel's Dream" know the story, so I won't go into it here. Daniel's life changed after meeting Al Agnew.<br />
<br />
Small unplanned things can make a huge difference in a young person's life. As a young grammar school<br />
student through his whole life Daniel was one who understood that to be a success it took effort. And<br />
during his time at the University, Daniel worked harder at his studies and work than anyone could<br />
imagine. He was going to be a Computer Animator. He chose that field because he loved the Simpsons cartoon series on television. No matter what kind of day he was having, after watching the Simpsons, he was very happy and he wanted to be in a field where he would enjoy it and he loved art and was very good at computers, so he decided that animation would fit his vocation the best. As Daniel's father, I know he would have been a super star in his chosen feild. Al Agnew was the inspiration for Daniel's lifes quality. <br />
<br />
The one major hurt in my life is the type of person Daniel was and a gang member shot and killed Daniel because he thought Daniel was someone else. If Daniel would have lived, he would have been a leader for all who followed him and I know that that meeting with Al Agnew had a huge impact on Daniel's quality of life.<br />
<br />
Please do me, yourself, and yes Daniel a favor and visit Mr. Agnew's website and art gallery.<br />

This post is to alert you readers about some very sincere artists. Their art speaks for itself, but what these artist have shown is their personal side.<br />
First let me tell you about artist Don Gray, http://www.dongraystudio.com. Don has the special ability to do a painting almost every day. The days he doesn't are when he is doing large complicated projects like painting murals. Don has helped support DansInspiration and Daniel's Dream. I can't talk enough about people helping this wonderful art program. Please visit Don's website and if you are able thank him for his wonderful support.<br />
<br />
The second artist is Sue Harrell, http://www.Paintingkaizen.blogspot.com. Sue is another artist who tries to paint one picture every day! Her art is amazing. Sue was one of the original people who donated to help Daniel's art program become a reality. She had no way of knowing that this wonderful program would succeed, but she had enough belief to help this program get started. Please visit Sue's BLOG and tell her thank you for all her support.<br />
<br />
The third artist I'd like to present is Celeste Reyes, http://www.artcelestereyes.com.<br />
Celeste has entered Daniel's art quote on her web page, “My inspiration is ART. . . .<br />
because without art we would just be stuck with reality” By Daniel R. Lynch. That gesture is a special tribute to Daniel and has made his father very appreciative.<br />
<br />
Another artist is Todd Marinovitch, http://www.toddmarinovich.com. Todd also entered Daniel's quotation on his website and that means so much to me. Todd's art is sports related. Many are famous athletes. So please check out his website and witness his impressive art.<br />
<br />
Finally, the Stirling Art Studios and Gallery, http://stirlingartstudios.com has also included Daniel's art quote on their website, for which I am very appreciative.<br />
<br />
The Daniel Robert Lynch (DRL) Art Education and Scholarship Program is very appreciative of these artists for their wonderful support, helping to keep Daniel's legacy alive and supporting art education.dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-30943427628792121822012-06-21T09:46:00.000-07:002012-06-21T09:46:20.278-07:00Art on the LAWN ActivityOne of the purposes of this blog was to inform you the reader about other art programs and artists. I've<br />
been just noting information about the DansInspiration .com subject, but will now start to note other art subjects.<br />
<br />
This post is about an interesting activity that is a very successful event every year: ART ON THE LAWN,<br />
held in Logan, Utah. This year the ART ON THE LAWN event will be held on JUNE 30, 2012.<br />
For those of you artists and others that like Art Galleries, you will be amazed with this very unique concept.<br />
ART ON THE LAWN goes beyond just viewing art placed on a wall, but gives you the opportunity to see the artists and other activities within the art medium, such as, pottery, crafts, an art auction and many other activities that time and space just limits noting. The ART ON THE LAWN is well attending for an all encompasing day of ART.<br />
<br />
For details, please visit <a href="http://www.artonthelawn.net/">http://www.artonthelawn.net/</a> and plan a very wonderful, interesting and<br />
informative art activity. You can spend as much time as you wish, one hour or one whole day, with a <br />
wonerful art experience. There is food and entertainment available.dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-88904007838580957222012-02-20T16:48:00.000-08:002012-02-20T17:20:15.533-08:00Daniel's Art Quote acceptanceThe last post was about Daniel's Art quote, and I know that a repeat on a subject is not good!<br />But I've been getting a lot of feedback about Daniel's quotation and it is really impressing me.<br />As I noted earlier I always thought the quote to be just a quote. But after it has been out there<br />over 5 years it's becomming very popular, And it's some thing I just can't set by and be silent !<br /><br />One thing that people are saying is that to a non -artist (like me) it would sound "glib or off<br />the cuff" but to an artisst , they understand that true art is not just pictures, but design of<br />buikdings, landscaping, the abillty that GOD gave man to help " reality " be more acceptable,<br />pleasing. Art is not just art pictures, but just think what a wall with real wonderful pictures<br />does for the plain walls in a building or a house. So after so many years of seeing just a "quote"<br />I know see Daniel's wisdom on the subject. Daniel was a very deep thinker and as a child<br />would teach me his Father to see things in a very different way than I had ever looked before.<br /><br />The artist noted that Daniel's quotation is being noted on most quote sites. And the site<br /><a href="http://www.quoteland.com/">http://www.Quoteland.com</a> which has it's viewers rate the quotes. Has had over 70 "HITS"<br />and is in the high 8's % rating ( ratings rated between 0---10 %) and with Daniel's quote<br />with such a HIGH rating confirms his feelings! And I agree.<br /><br />If you know someone in the Art field, art gallery, Office or den, or even on a Web-site request<br />that they display Daniel's Quotation where their Customers can view it. That would please<br />Daniel's Father so much.<br /><br />Daniel's DRL Art Education & Scholarship Program <a href="http://www.dansinspiration.com/">http://www.DansInspiration.com</a> is<br />doing a great job for Art Education, the artist agreed that in the future Art Education will<br />require help from private individuls above that funded by our schools and the Communities<br />that adopt a program similar to Daniel's DRL Art Pogram will be ready ! The Art<br />committe overseeing the DRL is an all volunteer committee that is making a BIG difference!dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-13515341159689069262012-02-12T18:18:00.000-08:002012-02-12T18:34:26.034-08:00ART Quotation PopularityI have been receiving comments regarding Daniel's Quotation. I didn't think about it until<br />I received a note from a very WELL known artist. He noted his pleasure with Daniel's<br />DRL Art Education & Scholarship program and said he was very impressed with Daniel's quote<br /><br />"MY inspiration is ART........because withour art we would just be stuck with reality "<br /><br />BY, Daniel R. Lynch<br /><br />He alerted me to <a href="http://www.quoteland.com/">www.Quoteland.com</a> Daniels quote has received over 70 HITS each quote is<br />rated by the viewer and the rating range is ( 0----10) % Daniel's rating was 8.0% he noted that<br />was exceptional for Art quotes. He said that in all his years in Art he had never seen or heard<br />a better quotation. Rhose words made a Father Proud. I received a comment from an Art<br />Professor He didn't think the quote mad any sense ! But I'll accept the Artists opinion. If you<br />agree with me and the Artist would you request that Daniel's Quotation be considerad posted<br />in an Art Gallery near you. I always just thought of it as just a quote. The artist suggested that<br />I make it my "Cause" to promote Daniel's quotation. That's what I'm doing nowdans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-3731053546548320312011-10-25T13:06:00.000-07:002011-10-25T13:40:53.543-07:00Problems for future Art EducationHello All, This Economy has really put a damper on donations to Daniel's Art Program. The DRL<br />is funded by 100% contributions and is governed by an all volunteer Art committee. The<br />Mission for this successful art program is to strengthen Art Education in our schools and provide scholarships to students who desire to pursue an Art career. As noted in the web that explains<br />about Daniel's Art program http://www.Dansinspiration.com<br />Art education is in serious danger . One danger that is on the way that people can't see coming.<br />Many years ago I was president of the Santa Barbara Golf Assoc. In those days young golfers<br />received a card as being in the SBJGA and this card allowed these young golfers to practice on the range and play golf for free. One day the Parks and Recreation Director called me in and said<br />that the day was coming where young golfers and youth playing in all sports and activities would<br />have to pay for doing that sport, he explain that the city was spending money for each child and<br />in the "FURTURE" money just wouldn't be available. In a while that happened. First a fee of<br />$1:00 was the cost. And look at it today. In the early days the city even paid for uniforms and<br />all the equipment required for these activities. Forty years later their is a Fee for everything<br />That's is going to happen for students wanting to study many of the "minor" subjects Art, Dance,<br />Music, acting, sports, etc. You can bet on it.<br />There have been communities contact the DRL Art program and can see what it is doing. And<br />these cities want to know how they can set up similar Programs like the DRL except for there<br />city. And when the day comes that students will have to pay for minor subjects they will be<br />ready, because a poor student will have to miss out , but with a DRL type program donations<br />will provide for students to join and the school or the individual student will not have to pay.<br />The cities who are not paying attention to this problem will be behind the curve and it will<br />take much effort to correct. If any one is reading this post an can see the truth and would like to know more details about the program please contact h DRL Art program. The program you<br />set up in your city will be named for a person or a name of your choice. But it'll be donedans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-90032047372976735362011-08-07T01:06:00.000-07:002011-08-07T01:06:00.199-07:00Welcome to Daniel's Dream!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3cTJyHvMJUdsWM0S30XF3PRLNCHj0XvVq0ASL4ndySOYSe7QoZxbZcz0Zv9aJBT17BkjBE0liyM0sOI1dhcUJxJlxiHLSGVKXenGQCbQEPdEBwO1bKtl3Q83CS6W7aMipeO-FWGWnqP8/s1600/Daniel+front+cover+only.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 117px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 184px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636647197214182690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3cTJyHvMJUdsWM0S30XF3PRLNCHj0XvVq0ASL4ndySOYSe7QoZxbZcz0Zv9aJBT17BkjBE0liyM0sOI1dhcUJxJlxiHLSGVKXenGQCbQEPdEBwO1bKtl3Q83CS6W7aMipeO-FWGWnqP8/s320/Daniel+front+cover+only.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Welcome to Blog Jog Day!

All you hear about is the<br />trouble and problems within our education<br />system today. And what I'd like to do today is share with you educators and interested citizens that go way beyond what is required to make sure our students succeed! When this program first began, what and where it would go was a question. I've worked in the aerospace field all my life and I've worked for some pretty successful companies. But the DRL Art Committee out shines every company I have worked for. Our hopes when considering a art program in Daniel's honor was to offer a scholarship to a graduating art student to be able to attend a college or university of their choice. Those of you that have kept reading this blog or have read "Daniel's Dream" know the story. I won't go into details here but if you are interested, please pick up<br />"Daniel's Dream" for the whole picture. The DRL Art Committee is made up of art teachers and interested citizens. Art teachers can make grant requests for equipment, supplies, or programs. These grants must be approved by the Committee, and the area that really amazed me was the sincere dedication this Committee gives to every grant request presented to them. First the request must be approved by the Art Coordinator before being submitted to the DRL Art Committee. EVERY request is discussed in detail. Not all grants are awarded. Maybe the teacher will receive part of what was requested. Many types of equipment are requested. The teacher is told where they might receive what they need from suppliers. If our government would follow the DRL Art Committee we' d have much less problems. Many top companies could learn something from these people.<br /><br />I know I'm going on long, but if I may, I'd like to tell of a grant request that was made. I was<br />skeptical about this grant. What was proposed was a grant for a child's opera. What was unique<br />about this request was that the 4th and 5th grade art classes would join together and write this<br />opera. Well, over 100 students worked to prepare their opera. I didn't think that this could be<br />done, as I've seen a group of 3 or 4 grownups not be able to agree. Also, the students were to make their own costumes. There would be a seamstress to help. All the sets were to be built by the students themselves. Bottom line, they pulled it off. Marian and I were invited to the opera.<br /><br />One of the rquirements was that every child had to be in the opera. At the conclusion, every<br />student stood and took bows and you could see smiles and a personal satisfaction on every student's face. That opera I know will have a major memory for each student. The standing<br />ovation was unbelievable. What a great success!!<br /><br />One thing for you to know, all of the DRL Art Committee members are volunteers and 100% of all money donated to the DRL Art Program goes to helping art education and scholarships. If any of you reading this blog would consider a donation, please know that every cent is used for art education. The DRL Art Education and Scholarship Program is a very successful program and thanks to the Cache Education Foundation, DRL Art Committee and all of you.<br />Please visit <a href="http://www.dansinspiration.com/">HTTP://www.DansInspiration.com</a> and <a href="http://www.danielsdream.webs.com/">HTTP://www.Danielsdream.webs.com</a>dans Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07017411652797678043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292055479618113893.post-25060991600193699022011-07-02T11:24:00.000-07:002011-07-02T11:26:00.412-07:00A Worthy Legacy<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="CENTER"><span style="font-size: 16pt;font-size:130%;" ><b>A Worthy Legacy</b></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: normal"> - </span></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;font-size:130%;" ><b>Not for Profit</b></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <span style="font-size: 16pt;font-size:130%;" ><b><span style="font-size:130%;">This is an article published in a non-proit publication </span></b></span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <span style="font-size: 16pt;font-size:130%;" ><b><span style="font-size:130%;">( Many of you may wish to read )</span></b></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">A Legacy, “something handed down,” such as, a million dollar legacy was handed down to the grandson. A legacy of the grandfather's deeds during his lifetime.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">This Legacy is a truly remarkable legacy of a young artist and how his Legacy is strengthening art education within a school system.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">Daniel was a very sincere and gentle person growing up. He had a very unique ability to “see the whole picture” and “see outside the box.” Daniel was not a grand stander nor was he concerned only about what was good for him. He truly believed that people come in two distinct types, those who feel they come first and those who care about the other person's needs.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">Daniel saw during his growing up years many of his classmates who would do anything to win or get what they wanted. He also saw many classmates who really wanted to do well in something but were at the low end of their ability, perhaps because their talent was minimal or some other condition kept them from excelling in their field – maybe it was sports or a certain subject. And, in many cases, he saw these students held in contempt or ridiculed because they didn't meet the standard of others. He himself fit within many of these categories. He was always the smallest in his class and had a difficult time in sports. But no one worked harder than Daniel at what he desired to accomplish.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">One of the things he learned early in life was that a person could be great at something and at the same time be a failure at something else. Maybe a person could be a great baseball player but a very poor chess player. </span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">Daniel was the smallest in his class when he went out for Little League Baseball. It was agreed that if he made the team he would stick with it at least for the first season and then he could continue or drop out if he wished. He at least had to give it a good try. Surprisingly, he made the team, as he was very slow and had a difficult time catching the ball. But, the league rules were that every player “must play at least one inning.” And that's what Daniel did, he played the last inning in right field in every game. Of course, this was disappointing to him, but half way through the season the coach realized that Daniel had the best batting average of all the players. When the team needed a “hitter,” the coach would put Daniel in and almost every time he got a hit. But, he still had a problem with catching the ball. The team made it to the championship and Daniel was in right field. It was the last of the last inning, everyone prayed that a hit wouldn’t be go into right field. Daniel's team was leading by one point. The other team was up to bat, they had a runner on base and two outs. Guess what, the batter hit a high ball into right field. Everyone’s heart sank knowing Daniel couldn't catch a ball hit that far and high. But, Daniel ran for this high hard hit ball and caught it! Daniel's team won the championship. You can imagine the accolades and “Hi fives” Daniel received. He was the “Hero” of the game. This just wasn't something Daniel was used to. He was used to getting ridicule from the other players when he didn't catch a ball. </span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">On the way to Pizza for the celebration, Daniel said that he couldn't understand why he was the hero for catching the ball because if he would have dropped the ball, he would have been the worst player on the team and everyone would have hated him. That one instant gave him a perspective for the rest of his life. He strongly believed that sometimes all someone needs is a “break” and just that one “break” can change that person's life. He strongly believed in helping the unfortunate if they were willing to help themselves. Daniel learned that for a whole Little League Baseball season he was “nobody” and was being kept on the team because he had made an agreement to not quit. But, on the last play of that season, he ended up being the “Hero” of the game.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">Daniel decided after high school that he wanted to be an artist. He entered a college and because of the high costs, he made up his mind to get a job as well as going to college. With some help from his parents, he received his AA Degree in Computer Animation. He decided to transfer to a university in San Francisco, California for his last two years to get his BFA Degree. The cost was astounding for rent, food, books and materials, bus fare, etc. He got a full time job while attended the university and was getting close to receiving his BFA Degree. To help save money, he moved over to Oakland to save on rent, which were much less than in San Francisco. When he was living in San Francisco, he had to live quite far from the university and work. Travel just one way would be an hour by bus and then walking. In Oakland, the commute was 15 minutes by Bart and he was a block from the university.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">One morning, Daniel was walking to the Bart station in Oakland to go to class at the university, he was stalked for two or three blocks and then attacked, shot and killed. It was ruled a “mistaken identity” killing by an Oakland gang member who thought Daniel was someone he'd been in a fight with a week before. Daniel was a gentle and very calm person who had never been in a fight in his short 24 years of life.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">This story is about Daniel's Legacy. He was such a unique person, always considering the other person and would give away his sandwich if someone else was hungry. He strongly felt that many students and people just needed some help at times to “make it.” He saw many students who would drop out of the university because they just could not afford to continue their education. Many very gifted, hard working students had to “give up.” One of Daniel's traits was to help others when he had the ability to do so. Daniel had a great ability to think “out side the box” and see the big picture. One of his class assignments will show his “out of the box” thinking. </span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;"><i><b>My Class Assignment</b></i></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY">“<span style="font-size:100%;"><i>When I heard of this assignment, I looked all around my house at everything I own for something I own that says the most about me. I could find things that I liked, such as posters, souvenirs from places I've been, or my car. I could explain why I liked these things. I like my car because it's fast and fun to drive. I like this particular action figure because I like the Simpsons. But the more I looked, the more I realized that in a hundred years I don't want to be remembered by the material possessions I owned. I think that if you can be summed up by a physical item, it doesn't say anything good about you. It says you've dedicated your life to something frivolous.</i></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;"><i>I feel you should be remembered for what you did.

Those people were remembered for what they created, the people they helped or the brutal way they oppressed a nation. You can't describe who these people were with some meaningless item. They probably owned something that said something about them, but what they are known for is what they did. So, in one hundred years I want to be remembered the same way, not by my house or car, but by my actions. That being said, the truth is I could nor think of one single thing to write about that could fill up more than a paragraph, so I came up with this ridiculous idea.”</i></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;"><i>Daniel R.

His life was cut short, so we'll never know what great good to mankind he would have done. But the way he lived during his short life has resulted in an Art Education Program in his memory.
