The artwork was created from assignment to paint two live figures in an abstract manner using the Knife for the first time. At the time I was creating this piece I was playing a horror video game online, which was named “IB”, that displayed an evil art museum when the character of the game fell into the painting that had the word “abyss” in the title. I was inspired to create a similar tone from the game along with the textures. I love to create surreal pieces of artwork…

her various of paintings to help empower women across the globe and help them to not think about their physical appearance. In the video, it appeared that she used painting as her medium. The theme of her artwork is history and stories because her artwork appears to have a story about each woman she paints. I also think that her artwork can fall under the political art theme. She uses her paintings as a way to communicate to both women and men in different ways. Barry McGee has used various…

The people who are always bored are the people who are boring. I remember being told something along these lines, that the nature of one’s surroundings depends on what they make of them, and this ultimately reflects who they are. In order to constantly live in an interesting world and even be an interesting person, people adapt a “creative eye.” Having such, they are able to find new treasures in otherwise depleted or barren scenes. This filtered, idealistic vision of the world has been…

Creativity and Artistic ability have always come naturally to me, drawing more than anything else. From childhood it was dream to go to The Art Institute; I would watch the commercials about the pamphlet with the three pictures to draw and just knew that was where I wanted to go. When I was younger drawing was my passion, anything I look at I can put on paper and that's what I wanted to do. But as life happened years went by and I hadn't even attempted to draw anything let alone decide who I…

Arguably one of the most spectacular pieces of art in human history was his vaulting painting, The Last Judgement, available for viewing in the Sistine Chapel. The overall process of producing this painting and Michelangelo’s personal beliefs and life were both incredibly influential throughout these 20 months. As Adrienne DeAngelis outlined in her article describing the…

hundreds flooding art museums in numerous cities, and people gathered in music halls all over the United States listening to performers at a concert, praising the musicians and artists for their talents. The fine arts industry generates around $300 billion dollars a year (National Assembly of State Arts Agency). The debate of whether or not fine arts should be taught in schools across the United States continues to go against fine arts education. Every year the budget for fine arts seems to…

racial identity in the majority of her works (artsy.net). The majority of her works are particularly heavy in meaning and are meant to invoke emotion, some may make you cry or even laugh. I’m also a contemporary artist who works mainly with traditional art such as sketching, inking and then coloring with markers. My themes vary from piece to piece and usually don’t carry much meaning. But some have been extremely sullen or even joyous. Walker was born in Stockton, California in 1969, and later…

landscapes that even photography could mimic and adapt. Photography is an art form that differs from other forms, because it communicates with the world through real life. Photography was developed in 1826 when the first photography was made in France by Joseph Nicephore…

The author of Philosophy of The Arts, Gordon Graham, holds the controversial belief that film has contributed surprisingly little to art. Graham claims that this medium has failed, time and time again, to give any significant art, despite it being a super-medium.

As Graham sees it, this medium is one incapable of achieving artistic greatness. This essay…
