head, displaying himself as an angel. Cohn did not want to be a part of the photo as seen from his facial expression, but went through it anyway. It’s something different that I’ve seen compared to a variety of works I’ve seen by different artists. I found it to be a tad ironic that Cohn has a halo with that kind of facial expression on him.…

I was 11 years old. It all started when I was in middle school I was starting in art 1 and our assignment was to draw anything we wanted. I didn’t have any ideas on what to do so I went on the internet and found this Vans template and printed it out and then sketched my own design on it.

I have 14 or 15 pieces…

Salvador Dali, an eccentric and renowned surrealist artist, has changed the way I see the world by providing a fantastical perspective on the quotidian details of human interaction. Dali is most commonly associated with his earlier pieces which feature the use of common objects but with a surrealist twist. He employs the use of ordinary objects, but distorts them in ways that modify the perspective and…

Journal 5: What is appealing to me regarding Chinese films is the very heavy use of some form of martial arts in most of their films. While I was looking on Google trying to figure out what movie I should watch for this journal, I notice while rea ding the descriptions, that most of the films dealt with some kind of martial arts training. Additionally, what I also found appealing while looking at which movies to watch, was how most of the films were set back in time and the movies were mainly…

Scholars agree that Apollo is ancient, but are irresolute of the label the sculpture should don. Two arguments sprung from the display…

Art can serve many purposes in life. It can be a hobby or form of therapy and self-expression for the artist themselves. It can be used simply as decoration. Or it can be used to entertain and captivate and audience. However, more importantly, art can be used to convey a message that words cannot.

were cherished Roman paintings, similar to the Mono Lisa. My research for this assignment surprised me. While the Romans no doubt enjoyed the esthetic of art, it was more to them.
