Wayne Thiebaud November 15‚ 1920 (age 91) Mesa‚ Arizona Wayne Thiebaud is best known for his Pop art. He is associated with the Pop art movement because he is fascinated in objects of mass culture and because of his many images of banal objects. Unlike other familiar Pop artists such as Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist‚ Wayne worked from life instead of media pictures. His engagement of this style of art is evident through his loose brushstroke whereas many other Pop artists would prefer use

"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

recreation applications. A fiber is a hair-like strand of material. “They are the smallest visible unit of a fabric and are denoted by being extremely long in relation to their width. Synthetic fibers are man made from chemicals. They are generally based on polymers and are stronger than natural and regenerated fibers. Synthetic fibers are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal and plant fibers” (NSP). In its physical form synthetic fibers are widely available
