Final Reflection Dance is one of the most intense art forms ever conceived, it is the most physically demanding, and yet balances the ability to display raw emotion. As an actor, I have a strong appreciation for displays of raw emotion because of the cathartic experience that it can enact. Prior to this class, however, I had a very low overall appreciation for dance in general as an art form. This is because I had never had any form of formal training. I understood the effort and technique…

Artist Edgar Degas defined art as being: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” (Le French 1).

However, what then would be considered “art” and how would you describe it? A common answer to people is that there is no one particular meaning or that the imagination is endless. Though, true, I…

ballet. I am the furthest thing from being an artist. My specialty is stick figures. I have never understood the fascination of art. I cannot look at a drawing or a painting and see a story behind it. To me paint is paint and pencil is pencil. I am hoping to change that.

He combines using technology and traditional…

This topic was chosen because tattoos in and of themselves are a controversial topic that many people feel very passionate about. All the forms of art are judged and have critics, however, as with any form of art,…

The art work that I found interesting in Chapter 5 was “The Soil” which was by Constantin Meunier. The picture reminds of hard working man that make a living. For example, the way there carrying the rock or pulling the rock towards them while tilting that back is some hard work and dedication. Picture reminds me of a man breaking there back for their family. What I mean by that is we never give up at what we do for our self or whoever might be that you’re supporting. It looks so realistic by how…

to Japonism and ukiyo-e because his brother ran an art gallery and he lived next to one. He was fascinated with the designs, colors, and compositions of the artwork he had seen in Japonisme work and started collecting ukiyo-e prints. In 1887, he was inspired by a Japanese landscape painter, Utagawa Hiroshige, and started creating his oil painting. This makes his piece a form of Japonisme, as this means the influence of Japanese art on Western art (“Japonisme”). Van Gogh’s recreation slightly…
