MAN TAKES

FIRST STEPS

ON MOON

The astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquillity, at 0256 GMT, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft.

Psychedelic art is any kind of visual artwork in-spired by psychedelic ex-periences induced by drugs such as LSD, mes-caline, and psilocybin. The word "psychedelic" (coined by British psychologist Hum-phry Osmond) "mind manifesting". By that defi-nition all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may be con-sidered "psychedelic". In common parlance "Psychedelic Art" refers above all to the art move-ment of the 1960s.

"Optical art is a method of painting concerning the in-teraction between illusion

and picture plane, between understanding and seeing."

Op art works are abstract, with many of the better

known pieces made in only black and white. When the

ment, hidden images, flash-ing and vibration, patterns,

or alternatively, of swelling or warping.

Pop art is an art move-ment that emerged in

the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a chal-

lenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery

from popular culture such as advertising,

news, etc. In Pop art, material is sometimes

visually removed from its known context, isolated,

and/or combined with unrelated material.

worldwide.

Twiggy is best remembered as one of the first interna-tional supermodels and a fashion icon of the 1960s.

Twiggy was initially known for her an-drogynous looks,

large eyes, long eye-lashes, thin build,
