Art within YOUTUBE


I feel that YOUTUBE is art within itself. People make things and video footage and publishes it on this site. To me they are putting together their own form of art. Again they are going outside the box which would be the normal paint and canvas.

Human Condition






Understanding the human condition provides the real solution to humanity's problems. You have to feel the conditions of others to understand their conditions. Before you can ever be able to understand anyone elses conditions, one must first understand their own.

Right Brain, Left Brain...Mid-Brain??




After researching both parts of the brain I truly feel that I am mid-brained. I carry both characteristics of both sides of the brain. Although I think at time I lean more towards the right side of the brain. I think that the right side is where my artistic side comes from rather than the other side.

Religion...Culture?


Culture is a noun which means. the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and or thought. I feel that religion plays a big part in ones culture because it is what one believes in and feels deeply about.

Human Nature


Its human nature to be affectionate to one another and to pour out the emotions you hold within. Two indivisuals together express their selves and their bodies make art together. To me it is like having two living stautes that are able to bend and move to express themselves.

Art in Public View


Public art is all around us in our communities. The sculptures at our local parks, even in our museums around town. Public art is all around and it is always what you least expect to be considered art. Like back home a work of art was made out of a old school bus and it was made into a bus stop.

I know what art is...It's to see and feel not to Think!!


Art is what you feel inside or what you see around you. I do not think that art is necessarily what you think. I feel that if you think about about something for too long, its no longer art because too much thought has been put in the process of making this piece of art work. I think that art should come from you inner feelings, which means it should come from your inner self to the empty canvas.

Artist in Our Society




I feel that there is a little art person in everyone waiting to be discovered by someone. I did not know that there was an artistic side to me until I took art at the University of West GA. You never know you inner abilities until you have someone or something help bring them out. People in society just needs something to help them bring out there inner artist.

Greek Architecture


Greek architecture has always been one of my favorite types of art. The people that form these arts put a lot of time and effort into the statues and buildings. I like how they use so many different shapes and figures to make a certain type of building or arch.

Human Behavior






Body language to me would be a representation of human behavior. You can tell a person behavior from the way they express themselves, for example their facial expressions and if they use hand motions.

Good Morning







Kayne West video Good Morning is one of the most artist vidoes I have ever seen. People these days do not use their artistic side when making music videoes anymore. I really liked all the animation that was used to make the video.

Poetry


I find that poetry is the perfect way for me to express my feelings for a special indivisual. I feel that poetry could also be consider art because the words seem to paint a picture in the mind. You can feel the words and really understand what the person is trying to express.

Graffiti







I think that graffiti is a type of art, I think this is a different way for people to express their feelings without actually having to go to school for it. I think people find it offensive because of where graffiti artist do their artwork. I think that is they had a special place to do there art work that more people can respect their work more.

Art in School




Art in school help children to express themselves throught beautiful artwork rather than violence. I have always enjoyed taking art in school. Keeping art in school is important because he can teach us all that art is more than painting a picture, but there is a history behind it.

Spiritual Dance


Spiritual dance has always been apart of my life, especially growing up in a very religious family. I use to be apart of a spiritual dance group for my grandmother church and this will always be a big passion of mine. I use to help some of the unfortunate children in the neighborhood to show them there is more in the world other thans the streets.

Human Struggle


We as humans struggle on a daily basis and people express their struggle through there painting and pictures. This picture represent a form of human struggle and how they are reaching out for hope

Fashion in the Art World




Fashion and clothing lines are all considered to be a different form of art. I think that because a person has to make and design these items that they should be a form of art. I really like the dolce and gabbana items and the coach items that are all out. These are all forms of art it is just not what you would call the norm.

Nudity




The art work of nudity was used more back in the old days more than they are now. People do not look at nudity as art anymore they feel as if it is degrating the body or being harmful to others. I feel that god made everyone beautiful and that we made them nude, nobody that I know was born with clothes on. And its not just that the person is nude, but you can see the curves and different shapes of the body as used in many sculptures.

Da Vinci My Favorite Artist


Da Vinci is one of my favorite artist of all times. I learned about him at a very young age, especially being in a very religous family and him painting a picture of the Last Supper. I think that he did a wonderful job on the painting although I was thrown off a little bit with the whole horse period.

Women in Art


There are not many women artist in the world, but I have noticed that they are used in art work a lot throughout the years. I think that women are looked at as walking statues of art work awaiting the time to be discovered, or a beautiful object waiting to be expressed on an empty canvas.

Catharsis




Being a college student can be consider a catharsis all in itself. As a full time college student and working I always seem to have a catharsis were work can interfere with class and class with work. Sometimes I will work late and is too tired to study for class, or I drop some hours and study more and lose out on money.

Lil' Wayne


The artist I chose to interview was Dwayne Carter aka Lil Wayne. I really just wanted to know where his inspiration came from and what motivates him to keeping moving forward. As he says in most of his music his daughter, Reginae is what motivates him to keep working hard. He wants to provide a better life for her than he wver had. He said that he enjoys making music and that he does not plan to quit anytime soon.

Diorama:Trees and Environment


I have always loved animals and I am a strong believer in protecting their environment. I do not think that we should be cutting down trees in the forrest, this is causing more animals to die out. If this keeps progressing we will not have a species to study later in life and the younger generations will not understand the reason all this took place.

My Baby...Blue






Since I was a little girl I have always wanted a dog that I could raise as my own child. Over the years I have had many dogs, but I have never gotten to raise them from a pup. At the age of 18 I was able to fulfill this duty and I love my baby Blue to death. Blue is a red nose pitbull and a husky mixed, I got the name blue from his eyes. He took more after the husky side with the color of his coat and his eyes, both of his eyes were blue and thats my favorite color.

I am THANKFUL


People go through every day life not being thankful for the things that matter the most. To me my family is one of the most important things to me. My family will be here for me when all else fails and everyone else in the world turns there back on me. I love all of them for this and I am so thankful that I have them in my life. Although we all have our moments where we do not get along we know that we will always have a shoulder to lean or cry on.

Michael Jackson Film


Michael Jackson film " This is It" is and will always be a wonderful work of art. This film showed that art is way more than just paint and a white canvas, but a way to express yourself in many different ways. He demonstrated his passion for music and singing, which could also be looked at as a form of art work. I feel that his film title was a very unique one, we never knew that this is it and there will be no more. And I feel that Michael gave the world his all and he will never be forgotten.

LIFE ITSELF IS LIKE....






Life to me is like a rocky flowing waterfall, that seems to smooth itself out. We all go through some rocky times and have rough edges to smooth out. Which to me reflects some type of waterfall. The water represents our life and how it flows as we grow older. The rocks shows a form of bumps in our path. And the slippery rocks are a representation of some edges that have over time been rubbed away. At the bottom of the fall is a calm flowing river that seems to progress into a lake of opportunity. Which to me shows that with life comes with ups and downs, but through it all comes lots of opportunities.

My Photographic Eye

I have always wondered what was just beyond the cracks and hills of a mountain. Like I have always wondered where my life is going, and when will it start the process of being a better future. Its a mystery waiting to be solved and I have yet to gather all the clues to even begin to solve it.
