I have been fortunate enough to travel across the world from a young age. Traveling has exposed me to various places and cultures as well as experiences that would have never been possible had I been raised differently. Both my parents are Polish and moved to America as young adults. They came here without prior knowledge of the language or social environment; however, their goals were accomplished through perseverance and dedication. I have approached my schooling career and life in general…

Congratulations! You finally explored the Virtual Arts Museum. This place is where unpredicted and astounding art is shown. I encountered something I have never experienced. That something was really examining and acknowledging work of art. I have been around fine art before and have taken a gander at ordinarily and I have delighted in it yet I have never truly sat down with workmanship to separate it and notification the little points of interest that make it so capable. Today I did visiting…

In Chapter 1 of American Odysseys, Timothy Shannon and David Gellman describe the civilizations and dispel some of the myths about America and Africa before the Europeans made contact with either of those places. I found several ideas in this chapter interesting, the modern social problems that have very ancient roots. The first is race relations and the origins of slavery. Chapter One opens with the story of an educated, runaway slave named Ayuba, who eventually earns his freedom through…

The Uinta Mountains are known for their great appearance of life and its tranquility. This can be seen just a couple of feet away from the well known Mirror Lake Highway. While I am here, I witness multiple coyotes, beaver dams, deer, cows, and much more. The geographical features are outstanding as well. Magnificent, clear lakes stood in sequence one after the other in the mountains. Any traces of wind shatter the lakes of their once untouched state. Also, the Provo River slices its way through…

between the men. This suggests that all of the men are comfortable enough to stand arm to arm to each other. therefore, it can further be determined that the men all share a close bond. As you examine the picture only one prop is placed on the entire canvas and that is of some type of book. By the title we can infer that it is a bible and expresses scared and holiness because only the middle man is touching it and everyone else is only looking at…

Dystopias walk a fine line between evoking a sensation of fear and inducing a sense of futility. Descriptions of grim futures, mask dystopias basic optimism. Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. takes place in the year 2081, everything is finally equal, no one is smarter, better looking, or stronger than anybody else. What good is equality when your creativity is taken away taken by weights(handicaps) and a transmitter sending horrible sounds every 20 seconds masks hiding your beauty and…

high schoolers, and I chose to critique a few of my favorites that were there at the show. I absolutely loved “Apprehension”, created by Isabele Ramirez-Dieckman. Her art was probably my favorite of the three I’m critiquing. She used oil paint on canvas to create this art piece. The main style that was used is short strokes in a downward motion, and she does this in simple parts. The piece featured a black and gray cat looking behind itself, with a look of curiosity in its eyes. She, the…

something to ease her mind off of the disease, so she turned to art. She painted brightly colored watercolor paintings as a distraction. “You can’t control what’s going on in your body, but you can control what’s going on in your journal or on your canvas” (“Miller”). Something else that helps me besides just painting, is listening to music while painting. Personally, I listen to music that I love listening to on a daily basis. So that meant no country once so ever and mainly pop songs or…
