In the world of art and sculpture, Edgar Degas’ The Little Dancer’s meaning is decidedly undecided. When the sculpture was first presented to the world in 1881, people reacted strongly in both good and bad ways because of just how different this sculpture was. The figure is rigid – in what looks like a stretch – and the face isn’t posed but natural and what some would call ugly. I found the sculpture to be profoundly refreshing due to the detail in every part of it, the unique authenticity, and…

The first painting I have picked is Rachel Wieland, “The Healing Power of Water” in the Art Gallery in Bergen Community college. Wieland created a landscape painting, 20x16, in the early 2000’s. A piece that has rough paint structure to reflect its power of healing, not only the water, but the leaves on the water as well.

Whenever we hear the word “art,” instantly our minds think about master pieces that individuals have either painted, or drawn. However, I strongly believe that “art” is much more than just that. As the authors in our textbook have stated, “something becomes art when its purely utilitarian or functional nature is modified for the purpose of enhancing its aesthetic qualities and thus making it more pleasurable to our senses.” (Peoples and Bailey, Pg.345). The point they are trying to get across is…

As a child, I never understood why art was created. But I never got that far because I mostly focused on what was tangibly in front of me and not what was underneath: the artwork's purpose. I always found myself fascinated of how the artist was capable of creating such a work of art that I found myself wanting to achieve. I did not realize that there was a bigger concept behind art.

In some of the bodies, there are hints of prussian blue and gray that are mixed into the skin, further creating the fading and transparent feel, as the painters are a part of the background/sky.
