Art Experience by Justin Lopez

Art I have been doing art for as long as I can remember. From the time I was in Kindergarden to my senior year in high school I've been doing arts and crafts. I've had art teachers, vacation bible school leaders, and my parents teaching me how to create things my whole life. I usually only recieve art instruction when I sign up for art courses. I've completed all sorts of art projects including paintings, clay, abstract, landscapes and all other types of activities. I had two very good art instructors in high school and they were very critical and rewarding and that probably is why I enjoy art as much as I do. I've had a very broad range of activities from drawing with charcoal and pencils to painting and sculptings. For the most part most of my art activities weren't holiday centered they were more of your own imagination and idea's. All of my art projects were graded on pretty specific grading rubrics. It measured how much you worked on it and made sure that you followed all of the necessary guidelines. I have had a great experience with art in my past and I'm excited to learn more about it. My strengths in art I would say would be that I really enjoy drawing and shading pictures of things and my weakness is that I don't really know that much about the history of art and where it all came from. Art relates to society very much so. Advertising is used everywhere you go and you wouldn't have that without art skills. I am very excited to learn more about the history of art and sharpen up my old art

    Pride is a big part of our daily lives when proving points or showing our ideas. Pride can improve one's confidence and help bring out someone's voice to be heard, but in the short story by Meg Medina, “Sol Painting Inc,” the author shows that sometimes pride needs to be put aside for the better good of you or others around you. In the story, the main character Merci is a girl moving to a new private school so that her parents can see her grades improve. The only problem is they can't exactly afford to go to this new school, so they make the deal with her dad's business to repaint the school's walls. Along the way, they ran into some trouble with the staff and students.…

    For me as an artist, I prefer to create visual pieces or 2-D, mainly by drawing or painting. However, one of my biggest strengths in being an artist and a person in general is my creativity. Being a creative person makes me a good artist. I use the ideas I get and then I am able to turn them into works of art. Everytime I sit down ready to do something with art, I brainstorm ideas of what to do and my mind just starts to race. No matter what situation I am put in, I am positive I can be creative in an unique way to create something wonderful. However, like any other person, I have my weaknesses as an artist. From time to time I am given the task to create something three dimensional. Ever since I was little I have struggled with creating something 3-D. I prefer to use a pencil to draw rather than to use my hands to sculpt something. With anything I do, I will always run into things that I struggle with along with the things that I can excel at. The past semester in Art II has made me a better artist. From learning different techniques to just creating art in general, I have been able to expand my skills as an artists. In the next years I hope to continue to use these skills and to become a better artist as well as a better…

    Michael Craig-Marin’s work is unrealistic, it’s modern and is conceptual while Harmen Steenwyck’s work is more realistic, dark and looks very medieval (even though it wasn’t painted in the medieval period). The colour MCM used in this piece of art are complementary and they contrast from each other and are not the original colours of the real object. While the choice of colour which Harmen used are the actual colours of the real object if not, they are close. I also notice that Harmen shades a lot on the other hand, MCM doesn’t.…

    A close second interest is in the artistic field. I feel that being creative is a great skill to have because it helps to discover new ideas and new methods of problem solving. I feel that being artistic doesn’t mean you have to know how to draw or paint. In my opinion, I think that art can be expressed though your own personal gifts, such as being a creative writer or being a motivational speaker. I feel that the drawing aspect of life is very important to me because as a child, no matter where I was, I could always pick up a pencil and a piece of paper and visit a different…

    The “Self-Portrait with a bandaged ear” by Vincent Van Gogh and “The Two Fridas” by Mexican painter Kahlo Frida are depicting the artists’ deep hurt and emotional breakdown at losing their special person in life. However, the portrait “The Two Fridas” is representing the artist’s conflicting psychological mind more into details and straightforward than Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portrait “The Bandaged Ear.”…

The definition of achievement is an accomplishment, a result gained by effort, a great or heroic deed.

    There were many turning points in my life, one being able to find my true passions and own hidden goals. When I was a sophomore, I discovered drawing, which was my escape from reality of expectations and results. I loved art, because there wasn’t a right or wrong answer to how I could have approach it. Art quickly became my hobby, and I discover more creativity and colors to life. I learn to appreciate other things in life, and work harder to look outside the box. Drawing also helped me to improve my problem solving skills; I learn to analyze things in front of me deeper than on just the surface. Therefore, I will always be grateful to be able to discover drawing, which gives more creative outlook onto my life.…

    Being a Computer Science major I felt that it would be a waste of time to take any art class. Prior to this course I had either a hostile or indifferent attitude towards modern/contemporary art depending on my mood. I did not think I would learn anything that would apply to my life as I was not an artist and had no aspirations to become one. As this course progressed so did my feelings towards art. Instead of indifference or hostility it now sits at slightly mild interest to indifference. I see it as a first step in the right…

    I find that I am lost without art. Art has changed my very essence, yet it's hard to explain how it has done so. It's like a new way of thinking and perceiving the world. No one can possibly understand how art changes someone unless one is an artist oneself. Art is the best way I've found to express my opinions, yet it has also taught me to speak out: I'm louder and more open minded than ever before. When I create, I feel like the world is in my control. From clay to prose, and from prose to music, and from music to just plain thinking when I create I'm focused and calm. I usually won't stop creating until I'm finished or satisfied.…

    Juan Luna's paintings are described as being vigorous, realistic and dramatic and with romantic elements. In a single brush stroke, he paints a fair of emotions that fills the beholder with drama and tragedy of his theme. His style shows the influence of Delacroix, Rembrandt, and Daumier. However, despite experiments in what would now be called "proletarian art," the basic style of Luna remained classical, because classic dignity was what he desired for the Filipino and his dreamt-of republic.…
