________ is a culture because....

all ethnicities are cultures because everyone is different in their own way and they are brought up with different traditions that they follow. People are born with different cultures.

Art and Film

Film and art are almost the same. film is a form of art because it contains artistic elements. Many people look at films as a form of art.

Taking this class this semester has been amazing and i have learned so much this past semester, having to go tothe high museum was truly amazing and it taught me of other artists that i did not know of.

I know what Art is....

Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves. For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of bed in the morning. You could say "Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans."

On the Graffiti Beat: Art or Not.


There are many ways to look at graffiti, some say that it is a destruction to private property and that it is considered vandalism. Others refer to graffiti as a form of art. I like to agree that graffiti is a form of art and that some people just like to misuse it by painting this art on private property. It is art because it is not like just anyone can paint graffiti it takes certain skills.

Art Education in Schools

I'm going to focus this blog on Barnett Shoals Elementary in Athens, GA
I had the chance to actually shadow an art teacher during my senior year in high school. It was extremely fun and i enjoyed all the children. The art projects were amazing and they were always learning new techniques.
Below is the link to last years art festival :)


i love this piece of architecture

I love this piece of architecture. it has always been an all time favorite. It jsut holds so much history and appealing to the eye.



Poetry Slam

i found this online and really enjoyed it . it truly describes someones feelings towards art.

My Art is no art
Without my mind's simplicity.

My Art does not want
To subscribe to the view
That unhappiness
Commands the world.

When I paint or draw,
I keep my mind's thought-garden
Completely free of self-doubt-weeds.

My Art is the hide-and-seek
Between my soul's illumining smiles
And my heart's streaming tears.


The Artist in me has three
Faithful, sleepless
And self-giving friends:
A newness-eye, a oneness-heart
And a fulness-life.


The heart of my Art
And the heart of a child
Are extremely fond of each other.
They love each other deeply;
They need each other constantly;
They are interdependent, sleeplessly.


My mind says that anything I do
Is too insignificant
Because I am wanting
In qualification.
Needless to say,
This includes my Artwork.

My heart says that anything I do
Is too significant
Because the God-Touch
Is always there.
Needless to say,
This includes my Artwork.

The moment I start painting,
I clearly see my soul-meditation
Is blessingfully clasping
My heart-aspiration-flames.


First things first:
The Artist in me,
Before embarking on his Artwork,
Invariably catches
His heart's aspiration-express.


True, in my Art I want to see
The face of earth's beauty.
But I want to see
The heart of Heaven's Divinity
More, infinitely more.

This is the Ionic Design famous for its scrolls




This is the Corinthian Design which is fancy

Fashion as Art


In this advertisement for Prada it shows to the audience what handbags are in style as well as the watches, makeup and possibly clothing that could make someone more fashionable.

Art On YouTube


while searching for "art" videos on youtube i came across a few. One that caught my eye and attention was coffee art. Because a few years ago i actually got to see one and was fascinated by it.
this is the link COFEEART

and this is the picture i took when i was in California at Urth Cafe.

Artist in Society


Artists in our society...
There are many artists that have amazing skills and have yet to be known by everyone around the world. I have met many people while attending school and have seen what they can do. One person in particular is Rachel Guest. I met her my freshman year at West Georgia and over the years that i have seen her works i have been nothing but amazed. below is one of her many works ....

I'm having a catharsis...


A catharsis is defined as the purging of the emotio
ns or relieving of emotional tensions, esp. through certain kinds of art, as tragedy or music.

This is the usual type of drawing that appears on most of my notebook papers regardless of what mood i am in. The same drawing always appears, sometimes i only think that is because possibly it is the only thing i can draw, or maybe the only shapes i have perfected over the
years. I do know that i have been drawing the same thin

Dance


Ballet







Ballet is such an interesting type of dancing. The way the dancers can move their bodies and how high they can jump in the air doing splits is incredible.

My Favorite Artist


Chuck Close





He is by far one of my favorite artist. I actually got to see his self portrait up close when i went to the high museum and was completely amazed by it. It was definitely a lot better than just having it on powerpoint.

I believe this film is a work of Art




La Dolce Vita

In the film's opening sequence, a plaster statue of Christ, suspended by cables from a helicopter, flies past the ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct. The statue is being taken to the Pope at the Vatican. The delivery of the statue is the first of many recurring scenes placing religious icons in the midst of characters demonstrating their "modern" morality influenced by the booming economy and the emerging mass-consumer lifestyle.

Why i believe it is a work of art?
it ties with art because of the many scenes relating to religion. In Class we have been learning about the many works of DaVinci, such as the Last Supper with ties with the religion. This film starts being based with a statue of Christ and also mentions the corruption of religion. The Statue itself is a very important piece of art as well as the various Vatican Churches throughout the film, architecture is a very interesting piece of art.
