Essay On Creolization

Improved Essays
For my creolization project I wanted to do images from back home so I decided to do a couple images that I had took when i was back at home in Hawaii. I will be going 3 images, for each image I will be talking about how I think it reflects an element or theme that Ivor Miller went over in his graffiti article and how it reflects to one of the Creative Spirit goals for class.What I got out of Miller’s article is that creolization is the concept of being able to bring two different aspects together and making it into one.
The first image is a piece from back home that I thought was a beautiful painting. I chose this image because it caught my attention with its creativity and uniqueness and because it was painted in such a bad part of town

I chose this painting because how realistic it looks to a real wave. This painting can reflect the culture of our community in a way where we find the land and the water important. SInce we live on an island we are surrounded by water, the ocean plays a big role in bringing the community together. In Millers article he talked about, some artist are able to creolize images from the society around them to create their work.. By looking at this painting, I can see that the artist or artists wanted to show the community how beautiful the ocean is and its movement just by painting it on a wall. Looking over our class goals for this class this painting can reflect the goal of How do we engage in the creative spirit. Being able to express oneself through art are some ways we can engage in the creative spirit.
In conclusion I think it is very important for people to get engage with the creative spirit by being able to express themselves through various art or entertainment forms. These three images that I did can say alot about the creative spirit in my community. I also agree with Miller and how he made some good points in his article about art

    I chose to write about Frank Lloyd Wright’s house, Falling Water. At my funeral, I want people to know that I chose this piece of art because it was how I wanted to live my life. Sturdy and firm but lost in a forest of life and nature. The architecture of the house represents the different changes in my life and how the light that shines through the house, tells a story about no matter which way I turned or how bad it was, there was always a way to see through it. The water that rushes underneath represents how I had tranquility with my life as well as almost disconnecting to the outside world.…

    The artwork I chose to imagine is Van Gogh’s famous oil painting called Starry Night. It was painted in June of 1889 and has grown to be known as one of his most famous paintings. Van Gogh was a post-impressionist and painted Starry Night from memory in his apartment. The view is of a village from a window in an asylum. I chose this painting because it has always been hanging in my Aunt’s living room.…

    This painting shows these themes because the artist have painted what they saw but included more and less. Something that these painters include are more idealized colors to the stereotype of a perfect sunset--as shown in my picture--to add romance and aestheticism. Some things that they, the painters, exclude are the real things in life such as the demented part of nature and how the world really looks. These painters don’t add the ugly things in life like dead animals or conflict between nature and mammals such as humans. These feature are included and excluded to show a more aesthetic and or idealized version of life and nature.…

    I create art to inspire change. My goal is to use visual art as a means to address, further explore and dissect pressing issues in society. Inspired by public figures who use their platforms to make a difference in the world, each of my paintings include the use of historical facts and statistics incorporated as raw materials. My creation method incorporates the use of round tipped brushes to create vivid bold lines and a cohesive feel, I also favor the use of vibrant colors and acrylic paint because it provides a sense of liveliness and elements of texture that convey the hard beautiful truths behind each work. Franklin, the African American character from Charles Schultz's "Peanuts," is the primary subject depicted in my work.…

    Culture is a major part of daily life. It tells us who we are, allows us to express ourselves, and identifies where we are from or what we value. Culture has changed drastically over the years as styles go in and out of fashion or different resources are available or effective. This was particularly prevalent during the Civil War when limited resources were available and certain, unique needs had to be met. The culture of this time reflects this as demonstrated through its music, fashion, art, and food.…

    The body language of all the students was tense as they hunched over their works looking for flaws that might cost them precious points on their AP exam. When I commented on the stressed atmosphere of the class, one student stated, “I love this class and the people and the atmosphere, but I hate the pace.” Art is a way for many students to express emotion such as anger, sadness, or to achieve a sense of peace and relaxation. These looming deadlines that determine their success in the course detract from the enjoyment that art provides for many of the students. When people think of art, myself included, the thought is that art should be a free and uncontainable concept that flows from the creator of the works not confined by any restricting deadlines.…

    A Puerto Rican Experience

    One foot rooted in urban Puerto Rican heritage and the other having been later immersed in the Southern black experience as an adult, I have learned to merge the conceivably disparate cultures of my family. Each afforded me a unique point of view, developing the self-assurance that has empowered me to succeed in the face of adversity. Being of Puerto Rican descent in the inner city kept the lack of financial stability of my youth in view and motivated me to pursue my education. As a black American female I learned the value of diversity, having experienced first-hand the misconceptions that can shape in a homogeneous environment. For instance from being called “too much of a free-spirited city girl,” in the country to later being “too old-fashioned…

    The extreme structure and the components of the ship are superb. These were the initial grab or hook up I got from this painting. Then more another aspect of this painting got me into it more. Like how the rocks are extremely dark because no sunlight is shown there. Then the opposite side of the rock is more brighten and how the waves are structured just gives me the thrills toward this painting.…

    Human beings always have had an innate ability to imagine and create that what lies beyond just a primal, basic understanding of the world around them. It is this nature that overflows with ingenuity and vision that begs to be conveyed through something that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Artistic expression is an undeniable epicenter of the human identity. The arts are such a rooted part of the human identity that every society, culture, civilization, and group emulates some form of it, from pottery in Ancient Egypt to Shakespearean plays in 18th Century England. With this in mind, philosophers have attempted to answer throughout history the burning questions pertaining to this need and appreciation for the arts, to explain what stimulates…

    The painting I chose was Frank Stella’s “Flin Flon VIII”. It is an acrylic piece on canvas characterized by a mixture of curving and straight lines that interlock, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on the circle in the middle of the canvas. A huge quantity of negative space is present in the painting and the painting emits a smooth texture. The painting is one hundred and eight inches squared, making it one of the largest paintings in the San Diego Art Museum. Its size projects itself on the viewer overwhelming them with its color and size.…

    “For very young children, making art -- or just talking about it- provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes, and actions” (Lynch). It is vital for a child to learn the importance of art early in their life so that they can choose whether or not they will be dedicated to pursue a career involving art skills. Learning about these basic forms of art at an early age gives children more insight in preparation for their educational life. “Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development” (Lynch). Students involved in simple creative activities within their peers can affect their emotional status and gives a more comforting feeling being around others that have similar qualities of enjoyment.…
