Earl Bradley (E.B.) Lewis was born on December 16, 1956 in Philadelphia, PA. (EB Lewis Artistrator, n.d.). According to his biography he learned from an early age that he had artistic abilities as he watched and learned from his two uncles who were artists themselves. Beginning in late elementary, Lewis began studying at Saturday Morning Temple University School of Art League, then went on to study at Temple University Tyler School of Art where he majored in graphic design and illustration, along with art education. This is when he began to find interest in watercolor painting (EB Lewis Artistrator, n.d.). Stated in another biography of Lewis, “he went directly into teaching, along with freelancing in graphic design. Between 1985 and 1986 he had completed a body of work which was exhibited in a downtown Philadelphia gallery. The show sold out and bought him public recognition and critical acclaim.” (Scholastic , 2015) E. B. Lewis has illustrated over seventy children’s books over the decades with brilliant artworks and watercolor images. Some of his great works are; Coming home soon wrote by Jacqueline Woodson, a story about a young girl and her grandmother that are separated from mama when she moves north to work during WWII (Tyson, 2009), My Best friend by Mary Ann Rodman which is a story about a young girl who tries hard to make friends with an older girl at the swimming pool (Tyson, 2009), and The Bat Boy and His Violin by Gavin Curtis this is a story about a boy that…

Majority of Abakanowicz’s art contributed to her experiences when Poland was under the Nazi and Soviet Union invasion.

For a short period of time the polish artist painted series of large gouaches on paper, cardboard, and canvas. Shortly, Abakanowicz, began to draw inspiration through her life experiences, her sculptures held an uncertainty that encourage different exposition, speaking…

forgiven, as he was a self-taught versatile artist and designer, who had successfully done multiple things, starting from painting with gouache and ending with interior design. He began banally, working in order to earn for living: between 1883 and 1886 Georges de Feure had changed many jobs: at first being a clerk in Itrecht and Dordrecht, then a bookseller’s assistant in the Hegue.

In this portion of her text she also draws a line between the current text called An Artist Looks at Ethnographic Exhibitions, Sacred Circles, and her work Fragments (1976-78). Fragments is a archival installation which consisting of 186 gouache drawings, 210 potsherds, photographs, charts, diagrams and handwritten and typed text.

I will be talking about the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. In this particular painting the artist really doesn’t use the Encaustic method. It looks likes da Vinci use the tempera technique because the painting has a certain glow or transparency to it. The painting looks like it was painted on a stone. Most artist back then use the tempera method on stone. The fresco method is not used in this painting. It is not a fresco because you cannot change or modify when an artist…

Not only did Calder do sculpting with tire and other material, he also enjoyed doing paintings.

He was inspired by the mountain scenery, so he wrote a letter back home asking for paints and brushes. Shortly after that, he decided that a timekeeper…

Mark Doty particularly mentions sensorium – a sensual yet complex perception owned by everyone. And since, everybody has a different way of perceiving the world, it is, in fact, difficult to deliver the description of the world around us in some intimately coined words. Doty articulates that the ability to bring out the words of description is either “the writer’s blessing or the writer’s disease, depending on [his] point of view” (Doty, 10). I particularly noticed how his poem “Description”…
