American artists

Comparing artists and their music has gone on since music first began. Each person thinks their favorite artist’s album is the best, while the other argues that his is the best. Just like any other entertainment category, it is very hard to convince the other person that you are right, even though the evidence is shouting out at them. Which is better? Two popular artists on each end of the spectrum of popularity with one artist’s album being on the Billboard 200 chart at number 1 and the other…

Artistic Soul in the Heart of the Boot Saturday nights in Baton Rouge can be a drag when you 're an artist looking to get your five minutes of shine and turn-up all under one roof. A group of eclectic artists were inspired by random weekly hangouts, that originally began as discussions on love, debates about race and intense games of beer-pong. These nights would turn into full turn-up sessions and tear fest, where we ignored life and jam out like no other but, no one was ever watching. Nights…

artwork back to the factory that it was made in but the urinal also has the general shape that resembled a fat cartoon character that was in the familiar comic book strip. Prager goes on to say that he agrees with some of his other colleagues that an artist cannot repeat this type of “art” forever or it would lose its affect that it makes on the audience. He even goes as far as to say that it would become a cliché, but when it is done periodically the style of ready made art can comment on the…

Art speaks to us in ways that words alone cannot. Everyone conveys a different story from a single piece of artwork and its crazy how different people see things. Not only does art express many emotions that the artist is feeling, but it helps them connect with their viewers through the piece.
