Diego

they are quite used to it. They have also been very kind most of the time and I have learned more about myself during my stay at their house. It is the first time, that I am away from my family for a longer duration. Therefore, my experience in San Diego has been beneficial…

"Hi you all know me I am Luke Hemmings from five seconds of summer. Today we are going on our first show in San Diego California hope to see you there" I say while posting the video onto Instagram. The long tiresome bumpy ride to San Diego was horrible I must admit. And we still have 3 hours left on this bus. I peer outside the window and I could tell it was going to rain. Groaning I walk to the kitchen part of the tour bus and see my band mate Ashton. "What's wrong mate" ashton says. It's gonna…

Though she grew bored with lying in her bed with nothing to do, she soon began to paint and slowly the artist within her began to arise. At the age of twenty-one, she could finally leave her home and met her future husband Diego again. After Frida showed some of her paintings to Diego after calling him down from his scaffold one night, their relationship seemed to grow until they were married on August 21, 1929. As the years go by, she continues to paint until one day in an American hospital…

When arriving to balboa park, before entering the San Diego Museum of Art, it is easy to see the amazing building and the work of art it is just by itself. The tall building has a very detailed and beautiful façade. The building shows an influence from cathedral and other ancient buildings from Europe. The decorated building makes the visitor feel as though they are stepping into a building in Europe. Once the museum is entered, the first sight noticeable are the big and elegant stairs that lead…

early summer morning and the air was warm. Mother, happy and concentrated, was finishing putting the luggage into the van. My brothers and I are tired and excited for our trip to San Diego. Everything is packed and we’re on our way. Driving, talking, and laughing; we went along for hours until we finally arrived in San Diego. The air was suddenly refreshing and cool; you could feel the mist of the sea and smell the salt water the ocean. We checked into the hotel and we got on the elevator,…

Frida Kahlo lived a short life, but she has impacted art in a way that will live on forever. In Khalo’s forty-seven years she created almost two-hundred paintings, fifty-five of these are self-portraits (kahlo.org 1). Kahlo created intimate paintings like no one had ever seen. She became an inspirational artist and feminist icon. As her husband Rivera put it, “Never before had a woman put such agonized poetry on canvas as Frida did at that time” (Mencimer 29) . Kahlo’s life was full of tragedy.…

When given the opportunity to get outside of a book for a class I usually take it. When a trip to Balboa Park in San Diego, California is also included the choice is that much easier. For this essay I visited The San Diego Museum of Art to look for a painting that matched the criteria of a painting from 1800-1880 that illustrates realism or romanticism. I came across an oil on canvas painting of everything I have learned what realism art is suppose to look like. The painting was of a man on a…

Growing up in Southeast San Diego, I have seen the lack of access to resources and advocacy for low-cost services due to language, cultural and socioeconomic barriers. Fortunately, my family and I found Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) in 2007. At the time it was one of the very few organizations that assisted first-generation college students and their families. This organization ultimately influenced me to become an ISCOR major and fueled my passion for community development. Ten years…

vibrant paintings. Most of her paintings are self-portraits of herself because most of her time was spent alone. Frida Kahlo also was part the feminist movement although it wasn’t quite clear if she contributed to the movement. She married her mentor Diego Rivera twice, and she painted him in some of her works. Her bold unibrow, mustache, and being clothed in Tehuana costumes of Indian maidens have made her noticeable and famous. She didn’t want to become a artist at first, she entered a…
