What is Therapy? I started going to therapy as a child off and on through the years. I have participated in family therapy, individual therapy, and group therapy. Honestly, I hated going to therapy and I never really saw it as a positive experience. It was something that I did because it’s what my mom said that I needed. I never went to the same therapist for more than a few sessions. I have had therapists that wanted to diagnose me with a major psychological disorder (such as bipolar disorder)…

Chinese Painting The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History says that Chinese painting intergrades poetry, painting and calligraphy. This connects the characteristics of the poet and the painter. The oriental creator is the philosopher of the art, that his art is the creation he makes. The painter and poet together are symbolic due to combining into one person. Materials in Chinese art depend on the type of art that is being created. There are two types of brushes. According to the ThoughtCo, you…

Portrait painting thrived in the Netherlands with the increase in production driven by interest in the idea of personhood and the definition of the individual self. Portraits help document the development of a personal identity as it connects factors like marital status, class, and profession. A common portrait genre produced during the seventeenth century portrays their subjects with an impassive demeanor with little vigor. At first, these paintings may be evaluated as lacking “personality” or…

The Imposter (2012, Bart Layton) is a stimulating documentary that expresses the account of Frédéric Bourdin, a 23 year old man from Spain, who was deprived of a joyous childhood, and allocates his time to stealing the identity of minors, including Nicholas Barclay, a 13 year old boy, who disappeared in 1994. Frédéric Bourdin successfully swindles Nicholas’ family into undoubtedly believing he is their missing teenage boy, despite Frédéric appearing entirely different from Nicholas and having a…

Roaming the many galleries and halls of the Detroit Institute of art I found myself overwhelmed at the sheer number of paintings and styles. I thought to myself that I wouldn’t be able to select just one piece to focus on. I held that thought as I passed by the self portrait of Vincent van Gogh and the Elenor of Toledo and countless more. With nothing really speaking to me in the way I would have hoped, I began to think I would have to settle. Rounding a corner found myself in the American…

museum was unlike any of my other visits to museums. First of all, I had a solid purpose for going and found myself paying much more attention to the intricacies of pieces I was viewing. Secondly, due to its sheer size, this museum had a wide variety of art from many different cultures and time periods, giving each hallway and room a different feel. Lastly, I felt much more educated about what I was viewing, when compared to previous experiences. I waited until the 8th of July to drive to Kansas…

I really enjoyed visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Downtown Houston, every panting was different many caught my attention, but the one that attracted me the most was the art piece Marsh Sunset made by Martin Johnson Heade, there was so much detail to is and I just couldn’t stop staring at the natural beauty of the landscape. When you drive past landscapes while on a road trip, sometimes no one puts in much thought into the beauty because it's there and the idea of it disappearing never comes…

through time that man may have carved this as a symbol of what the idea woman may have looked. This structure of this piece gives me the idea of independence. I believe that this art piece is open to a lot of interpretations. I plan to structure this intriguing topic starting off talking about the beginnings of this Prehistoric art piece as well as the appearance and fertility, also the environment she might have lived in. The middle of this piece will examine in depth of how this piece is…

The first painting I have picked is Rachel Wieland, “The Healing Power of Water” in the Art Gallery in Bergen Community college. Wieland created a landscape painting, 20x16, in the early 2000’s. A piece that has rough paint structure to reflect its power of healing, not only the water, but the leaves on the water as well. It’s rough paint structure looks a lot like Vincent van Gogh, Starry Night, 1889. The painting being all Cool Colors, many being different sizes than each other. Having the…
