I took another trip to Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts to see the Senior Exhibit. I was quite impressed by the artworks that were displayed in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Gallery. As I walked around the West Gallery, there was an artwork that I kept going back to. I reckoned it was a sign. An art student named Congdi Wang used a single instrument, a ballpoint pen specifically, to draw Deer in Forest (Figure 1). Compared to my inept and appalling ability to draw or doodle anything noteworthy…

Michelangelo’s most defining trait; he is passionate. Some would possibly even say he is too passionate. Even at such a young age, he saw “life is to be enjoyed,” and “life is to work” as one and the same (Stone, 107). He puts this passion into his art, never caring about anything quite as much as when he’ll be able to do his next piece or what other people think of the one he’s already finished. This passion is both essential and detrimental to Michelangelo. On one hand, he will get far in life…

As my great work of art that inspired many other parodies I choose American Gothic by Grant Wood. The painting is one of the most recognizable and even people who do not know of the original will probably recognize one of the many versions of this painting. I think this is a great work of art for the simple fact that so much is going on in such a simple picture. The expressions on the faces and the posture they have. What are they thinking, why are they not both staring at the artist painting…
