Ron Mueck is an Australian artist who is known for his real life, and some-what disturbing sculptures. However, before he began creating these magnificent sculptures he began his work on a children’s television show for 15 years before finding his way into special effects working in films such as, “Labyrinth” in 1986. These special effects works lead him to model making where he would create models for commercials and different advertisements. Mueck soon got tired of photography and felt as if it took a lot away from the presence of original objects in the world. This is where he fell head first into his love for sculpture making.…
Although the history of art has evolved gradually, there are several artists such as J. M. W. Turner, Édouard Manet, Paul Cézanne and Kazimir Malevich that have influenced and shaped the art world. J.M.W Turner is arguably the greatest art revolutionist of all time. Turner explored unknown styles thus, instigating modernism. Inspired by the old masters, Turner turned to the dramatic, instead of conventional, traditional landscapes. His works were not simply aesthetic but also stimulated emotions by exploring new heights of imagination and abstract mingled with the ordinary.…
The artwork I chose is, The Scream by Edvard Munch, which was created in 1893. This artwork has been described, as a “Mona Lisa for our time.” The composition of The Scream is an oil painting on cardboard. Furthermore, the style of this painting is Expressionism. To emphasize, Edvard Munch used lines, and colors to depict human emotions.…
Wonderful Master of Art, Grant Wood's Grant Woods is an amazing artist which I failed to see before browsing through this book. Grant woods has a very elegant way of painting art. By making his art appear realistic his art is much more complex than you might think. Figuring out what artist to pick was extremely difficult. Once the painting of American Gothic came up I suddenly knew which artist I wanted to study.…
“The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”, by Rod Serling. The Characters are very important to the events in the plot happening in the story. “No doubt it did have something to do with all this power failure and the rest of it. Meteors can do some crazy things.” The evidence in this section is that these sentences were moving through everyone's minds because they didn’t want to believe anything else to where it would freak them out.…
Samuel Gomez's work attracted me more than any others. Looking at his work we can predict how much effort he put on it. His works are just filled with black and white ink. It seems like he has lot of experience working with contrast colors and that he has come up with the best use of black and white. It is amazing to see his use of lines, and shapes.…
The biggest problems in America that I’ll briefly go over are drug addiction, depression, and education. Education is the stronghold to solving predicaments within a community as well as worldwide. As different as every person can be we are still one thing, a human. A special thing about us is that we can share a bond, an emotion, and I believe we’ve become cultural psychopaths who don’t empathize with people who are different from us. Disclaimer:…
Matisse has a very recognizable style, almost marrying the style of abstracts and cubism together. Many of his pieces essence one another. I find he uses a heavy aspect of humans, and elementary shapes and drawings. The way he puts it all together tells the viewer a story. Sorrow of The King is a piece I really enjoy.…
Out of all the artists depicted in the documentary, I’ve found the work of Cai Guo-Qiang to be the most interesting and skillful. I love how he uses gun powder, a material in which he calls “uncontrollable” and “destructive”, to create unique pieces of work. The art is in both in the inferno presentation and the left-over design on the paper. The way the paper yellows and the flow of lines in his work resembles a lot like the ancient Chinese artwork on scrolls. Instead of just drawing out and painting the art, Cai takes his time to set up the material and then takes the chance in how it comes out.…
George Grosz Every artist is unique in their own ways. They all have different ideas, passion and legacy. George Grosz is a German artist known for his caricatures and paintings that portrayed some of the most venomous social criticism of his time. He is a man of great skill and courage.…
The Artist was filmed in a stunning black and white. It took me back in time when men wore suits, women wore hats and when a simple dance could lead to love. It was uplifting, heart-warming, and hilarious. I loved this film from the beginning to the end, and I fell in love with every character. Charming performances from Berenice Bejo and Jean Dujardin, who provide all the charm and moving moments in the film.…
In my diversity class, my professor create a book club for students every Wednesday each week. In the book club, students are divided into groups where each group is responsible to read, discuss, and present one story or novel of their choice. For my group, we read the novel title “Chasing the Scream” by Johann Hari. My impression on the story was fascinating because it change my perspective of how I see drug addiction, which is the unresolved issue in the United States today. Before I read this novel, how I see individuals who become addicted to drugs were negative because I thought that these individuals are the one to blame for it causes violence in a society.…
When looking into surrealism I was drawn to Magritte’s The Flash and The blank signature. Images of Mictlantecuhtli and Quetzalcoatl influenced my work as well. They are the gods of death and life in the Aztec pantheon. My experience over all this semester in painting has been educational and enjoyable.…
In “The Foghorn” by Ray Bradbury McDunn makes a major decision in which majorly changes the outcome of the story. McDunn makes the choice to turn off the foghorn. He makes this decision so that the monster that has been uninvitingly visiting the lighthouse will go back to wherever it came from. The decision that McDunn made was certainly the best choice.…
Those pieces of art express how you feel and people could read it by just looking at it. One of my favorite paintings is The False…
