How Time Fly Short Story

Improved Essays
How Time Fly’s For me, it has always been easy to loose myself in a drawing. Almost similar to a scavenger hunt I search for every detail to make the drawing come to life. Often I will lose track of time that seems to pass around me in a flash. For the past few years I have been working diligently to improve my art skills. So far I have noticed numerous growth, but I’m not content. The biggest competition I had known at the time has been at the Washington Parish Free Fair, an annual event of Washington Parish with a variety of contest to enter and rides to enjoy. I expected only the best ribbons handed out for my art work; however when I didn’t receive the best I would turn crimson red in anger and blame the judges. It was winter and school just started back after Christmas break-- I was the ninth grade. My art teacher Mrs. Caron Knight – a shorter than average women with grey hair and wore black rectangular glasses – announced to the small class of fourteen of the Literary Rally art division at Southeastern college and she could send eight, two for each category. The categories where: black and white, sculpture, colored …show more content…
Those next few weeks I had worked on my colored drawing any chance I could. I would become enraged when I had to erase a mistake, I despised mistakes, it only took up time. I knew this was a level up from the fair I have known and conquered, it had to be perfect, it had to be my best. I used water color for my base, next I drew a black and white grandfather clock onto the washed over page. Once the most difficult part was out of the way I put all my focus on the wave of numbers and modern clocks that flew from the old grandfather. For the wave I used sharpies and prismicolor pencils. I was not aware of how long the drawing took because I was too busy to stop and notice. When done, it wore a simple black frame; which my mom helped pick out. I named my finished drawing Time Fly

    Dorothea Rockburne’s deep interest of mathematics influenced her artwork (30). Dorothea Rockburne’s work, Pascal’s Provincial Letters, was focused on the inherent relationship between the rectilinear shapes of multiple colors shown against a backdrop of deep, dark undertones of blue. Contemporary artists, like Rockburne, take in consideration of current ideas and force the audience to rethink the familiar. In this piece, Dorothea Rockburne uses a contemporary color scheme, lines, and shapes in Pascal’s Provincial Letters, in order to demonstrate the theme of contemporary art which mirrors contemporary culture and society. Dorothea Rockburne uses multiple different colors throughout her painting.…

Modernism is shown in the works of art “Nighthawks,” by Edward Hopper, and” Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist’s Mother,” by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Both works of art support my definition of modernism, based on what is being…

    Foundation Before Density In Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, “Show & Tell”, McCloud uses an appreciable combination of words and images interchangeably to convey clear and comprehensible thoughts, He establishes better, more understood, literature by depicting images directly alongside pieces of text. Evidently, pictures are an associative mechanism that enables newcomer and experienced readers to make visual connections to text they normally would not conclude to by only analyzing and interpreting words (McCloud). Moreover, aside from images allowing readers to make connections, illustrations are particularly crucial components in literary works because they can convey coherent messages all on their own. In all, visual depictions in literature…

    Book Review 1: Seven Days In The Art World In the mysterious, capricious and status-obsessed art market, six distinct insiders—artists, dealers, curators, critics, collectors and auction-house experts—are keeping dynamic balance with each other and being a relatively excluded group that is fraught with unknown secrets. As a non-fiction book that to some extent, pry into the secrets in art market, Sarah Thornton’s Seven Days in the Art World offers up a tale of what happens at the height of a cultural moment and the exuberance of an over-expand market. Through my reading, there are several aspects I take away from the book, which make it outstanding and also result to some limitations.…

    Using Schumann’s translation and interpretation of Eckhart’s philosophy of existence and being, one can connect these to moments in life that constitute what he calls “operative identity”, characterized by actions that are without motive that reveal who we are and that we are existent beings, while also suggesting that God is a necessary being. One example from my own life would be the creation of artworks throughout my life. Although beginning with the motive of a grade in high school, the action of art became a much more important event in my life that did not require any reasons or motives. This is portrayed in the connection between Schurmann’s terms combustion, releasement, and living with or beyond a why.…

    The hazy feeling of staying awake for an entire day settled in my body. As the early flickers of sunlight shone through the grand windows of the studio, I was able to look down at my work and appreciate the beauty of it. Perhaps it was the several shots of espresso, or the feeling of adrenaline but I was able to complete my first Architectural project. Just like most of my summer, I spent hours using my lead holder to perfect each line in my plans and sections and I sharpening my pencil much too often to make sure that each line was crisp and that my line weight was exceptional.…

    I have dabbled with art ever since I was a toddler. I would draw anywhere I went: school, home, and even at church. It started out as a hobby, but soon, I immersed myself into the world of art by integrating art with medicine. I have always found medical dramas to be particularly intriguing. Developing into this interest, I started writing my own medical journal, where I took notes from a book called Gray’s Anatomy and from the medical dramas I watched.…

    Prior to middle school, I thought I was satisfied with my position. I had friends, got along with my teachers, excelled in sports, and got decent grades in my classes. Back then, I thought this well-roundedness I sought between these necessities would offer me self-satisfaction. Little did I know, however, that I was going to confront this well-rounded nature of mine during my first awards ceremony in middle school. Among the most intelligent, artistic or athletic of the students present there, I was the one of the few who simply struggled to stand out.…

    He ascertains that “Sometimes the pictures can inform the words rather than the other way around. Often it’s easier for me to not say something in words. I show it rather than say it” (cited in Sainsbury & Styles, 2012, p.100). Entering the book, the reader may immediately become aware of his sensitivity to word-image interplay. It is hard to neglect the warmth and the organic feel of the book with its predominantly beige or brown backgrounds and his sketches which are in pastel tones of orange, red and brown.…

    The medal hid under a stack of clothes inside my closet–a painful reminder of immoralities that I am capable in doing. Most people would always be jubilant when they hear they earned a prize, but instead, I just had my head down for the rest of the day, heavy with contempt. I could have went the right way, I was thinking. Each time I went out for the Writing Contest, I’ve always failed for the reason of my “stupid writing sense”, according to my lovable mom. But weeks before the 26th Emmy’s Fiction Writing Contest, I was just hit with a surge of imagination, to write something that I never even thought of before.…
