Problem: Article: If you do not have a stand, put her between your legs. Take a spray bottle filled with water, and lightly spray each section of hair. Brush hair in sections. Begin brushing at the ends of the hair. Work the brush up to the roots. Once the tangles are out, you can run the brush down the hair from roots to ends. Repeat on each section. Comb the hair from the ends to the roots. Repeat on each section. Once all tangles are eliminated, divide the hair into smaller sections. Take one section and twirl it around your finger. After you do that with each section, her hair should look great!
Summary: Place the doll in a doll stand to keep her upright and still. Divide the doll's hair in four sections. Use an American Girl brand brush on straight hair. Use an American Girl brand hair pick or your fingers on curly hair. Style your doll's hair as desired.

Problem: Article: Your installation is complete and you can show off your new aftermarket stereo.

Problem: Article: The best way to begin a project like a portfolio is to find other successful portfolios online and use those as your guide. This doesn't mean copy the format, or follow the portfolio piece by piece, but it means to use it as a reference as you being making yours.  Note how the artist organized his or her pieces. Pay attention to the style and design of the portfolio. Are your eyes drawn more to the design of the portfolio or are you drawn to the art?   If it feels intimidating or daunting to look at other portfolios, remember that only the best work is what is displayed. Art is made up of technical skill as well as creativity, so even if your technical skill isn't as advanced as those you see, your creativity can make up for it. A university and an art gallery may have very different ideas about what they would like to see in your portfolio or the design of your portfolio. It's important that as you begin assembling and organizing your portfolio that you keep the audience in mind.  For example, if submitting your work to an art gallery, visit the gallery and make sure your work will fit in well in the gallery. Choose pieces, design, and organization of your portfolio that show you are familiar with the gallery and are aware of the art they carry.  If applying to a university or job, always look up the requirements for the portfolio, but tailor your portfolio to the type of institution as well. You may be applying to a more prestigious art university that values technique and style, or maybe you are applying to a school that places a higher emphasis and creativity and experimentation. Keep these things in mind as you design and organize your portfolio. Group pieces by style, subject, media, technique, etc. You want to make it as easy as possible for your reviewer to find the important information, or to determine if you are a good fit for their institution. By organizing your pieces you will give your reviewer an easy path to follow. You want your portfolio to tell a story.  Group by medium. It's valuable to use different types of mediums in your portfolio to show you are well rounded and capable of doing different art forms. It can be helpful to group these mediums together so that your portfolio clearly shows your different abilities and how you've used each medium in your art. For example, you might group pastel art together, and then group charcoal drawings and pencil drawings together, and then you might group paintings together. Group by subject. Another way to group your artwork is by subject, which will likely combine different mediums, but will show your ability to accurately depict different things. For example, you may group by figure drawings, drawings of landscape, abstract art, etc. Group by technique. This is similar to grouping by medium, but instead you are focusing on your range of abilities to use not just paper, but digital media, photography, web design, animation, etc. Use a scrapbook or portfolio binder found at any art or craft store to organize and present your artwork. As an artist, you may be tempted to have a really extravagant, creative portfolio. While it's great if your pieces are this way, the portfolio that holds and displays your pieces should be professional, organized, and simple.  The purpose of this is because you don't want a very busy portfolio to distract your viewer from the artwork. You want the focus to be on your artwork, because that's what you are really trying to showcase. Space out your portfolio. Don't have too many pieces on one page and don't go overboard with the information you include. With an industry that is so competitive, it's important for your work to stand out. You don't want to be grouped in with the hundreds of people who have also submitted their portfolio, so try to create a portfolio that highlights your pieces so well in a creative way that the reviewers can't help but notice.  Be careful about overdoing it, though. If your attempts to stand out lead you to creating something corny, or trying to be humorous but failing, you may go unnoticed, or be noticed but in a negative way. The benefit of a portfolio is that you aren't just a name on a piece of paper like a resume. Your work really speaks to who you are and it is easier for an employer to grow attached to the creative impressions in your portfolio than a written set of job skills. Don't overthink your portfolio. Once you have completed it, have a mentor give you feedback, go over it a few times to make sure it is organized well, and clear of any mistakes, and then leave it. By continually trying to edit and improve your portfolio, you run the risk of changing it to "make it stand out" that may lead to a decrease in the professionalism of your portfolio. While it's handy to have your portfolio in a hard copy, having a virtual copy of your portfolio will be helpful when submitting your portfolio online, which is likely what you'll have to do for most applications.  Photograph or scan your artwork. After you have chosen the pieces for your portfolio, use a good quality camera to take pictures of your art, or ask a professional to take the pictures. Make sure the pictures are clear and high quality so that when viewed online the resolution is good. Choose a setting with excellent lighting and no glare, and never use a flash. When scanning artwork, make sure there are no wrinkles on the page and that it lies flat on the scanner so the picture comes out exactly like the hard copy. Input these pictures into Indesign or another program that allows you to create a clean cut portfolio that is easy to continually edit. This not only provides you with a digital copy to use online, but also serves as a backup in case your hard copy is lost or destroyed.
Summary: Use other portfolios as examples. Tailor your portfolio to the institution. Organize your portfolio. Keep it simple. Stand out, but don't be overzealous. Create a virtual portfolio.

Problem: Article: If you really want to dive into classical physics, buy a beginner’s textbook and start reading. Simply reading the concepts will not be enough to really understand. You must also review the sample problems and try your hand at some of the questions at the end of each chapter. Take the time to process the derivations of the basic equations of motion and truly understand why they work before you move onto the next concept. Reading a textbook on your own might not be enough for you to gain the depth of knowledge you’d like in physics. There are many open courseware and online courses you can take related to physics. Many of these courses have assignments to check your understanding and forums to discuss the work. These types of courses are also easy to fit into your schedule as you can work on the material when you have the time. Physics is a subject best learned through hands-on activities and solving practice problems. Do some basic experimenting and see if you can derive the equations based on your data. Answer all of the questions at the end of each chapter and check your solutions.  Seek out more problem sets online for concepts that are more troublesome than others. Physics builds upon itself, so continue to do practice problems until you feel that you have mastered the concept before moving on to the next one. If you work best in a classroom setting, check out the courses available at your local community college. Choose a course with a well-rated professor during a time that fits well into your schedule. Taking a course just because you’re curious about the material can be really fun and you’ll be more likely to focus on the work and truly learn the subject. Take advantage of office hours and open lab times to discuss concepts that may be causing you trouble.
Summary:
Read a beginner’s physics textbook. Take an online physics course. Experiment and do practice problems to check your understanding. Sign up for a basic physics class at a local college.
