I attended to an art exhibition on Monday, October 13th, 2014 at The Schumacher Gallery. While visiting the gallery, I came across Alice Schille’s artwork named “The Green Chair”. Alice Schille an impressionist was born in Columbus in 1869. She was considered to be "one of America 's primary women watercolorist". Schille attended to the Columbus Art School (now known as the Columbus College of Art & Design) in 1887. Her work was influenced by progressive art movements. In her paintings she…

1. Both works use many various medias to express the art, for example, Cremaster Cycle uses film, sculpture, paintings, and even writing to express its ideas. With Womanhouse, architecture, paintings, sculpture, color, and even readymades, were used to express the meanings of the Womanhouse. Conceptually, each work expresses very different ideas, yet excuses their expression in similar ways. One work is made to express the process of art creation, and another is a social work made to speak up…

My final Encore art project is named “Environment”, I created my artwork in a mixed media form.My artwork presents two perspectives of environment; one is the nature environment and the other one is the cultural/social environment. I painted my canvas with acrylic to give it a deeper expression and I also added objects that we would see in our daily lives, I recycled and added them into my artwork so that my art could have a 3D expression. The word, “environment”, is assigned to me during my…

Art Censorship: Necessary or Not? Art was judged by its beauty, emotional power, and personal interest. Now art is judged by safety guidelines determining if the art work is “viewer safe” or “pornographic”. Since the beginning of the artistic era; artists have challenged controversies and shown different mediums of thinking. But, society has neglected many of these works of art saying that the art is dangerous and harmful. So, to prevent such harm rules of censorship were created, but artists…

is the function of art in representing traumatic memories? Is it possible to really, truthfully, re-presenting historical events and experiences through artistic forms?…

Art has been a part of human culture since the beginning of time. Starting as rudimentary paintings on cave walls, to today’s high tech computer designs. Art is a common thread all humans share in some way. For example, speaking the native Italian language of artist Leonardo DaVinci, is not required to see the mystery of Mona Lisa’s smile. A person doesn’t have to be of a certain religion to admire the beauty of Michelangelo’s murals in the Sistine Chapel. Art brings people together regardless…

The themes that I chose from The Last Lecture to depict in my art project are; brick walls are there for a reason, and make a decision: Tigger or Eeyore. I favored these themes because they resonate with me and can both be illustrated coherently within the same drawing. In the cartoon I drew, Tigger sits morosely on top of a brick wall pitying a dejected Eeyore. Eeyore, with his pessimistic attitude, is unable to find a way past the wall to join Tigger. Realistically, Tigger would be helping his…

was as if everything I had learned in the four years of college prior to that instant suddenly escaped my mind. Today, with 6 years of teaching behind me I am now beginning to feel as though I am getting an understanding of what it means to be an art teacher and how much more I still have to learn about education as a whole. Educators have the unique opportunity of a new beginning and an ending every school in which we are able to review our work and assess our strengths and weaknesses as…

Art comes in all shapes, sizes, and designs, but it is way more than what meets the eye. The interpretation of the artwork comes from the viewer. There are different aspects of art that come to mind when viewing it that don’t require outside sources to understand it; this is called visual analysis. Everyone uses visual analysis on a daily basis to comprehend what we are seeing. When it comes to artwork, visual analysis will help you break down the components of the art. This includes observing…
