Dr. Lonnie McCray Art

Art is composed of many different elements. There are many different styles of art that can be taught. Art has been used for thousands of years. Art is a way of expressing life. My favorite kinds of art are expressed through drawings and paintings.
In Expressionist Art the artist tries to show strong certain feelings about something important. This can be done through sculptures, paintings, drawings, etc. When I am drawing I tend to draw people and things that relate to a person or multiple people. My sketches are complete with shading. Shading is to show shadows and contrast. My paintings are always outdoors and have to do with animals, plants, and scenery. Painting the sky and ocean have a lot of patience to be dealt with because it takes a right mixture of colors to make it feel lively.
Pop art is the most common art. It has to do with very popular seen people, places, or things. My favorite pop artist is Andy Warhol. The way he deals with the colors and shapes are amazing. I really enjoy the piece he did with Marilyn Monroe and the Campbell soup piece too.
Surrealism is a type of art I enjoy doing. When I have a strange dream I will take the most particular thing about my dream and turn it into art. I make it very mysterious and lifelike so everyone can witness what I saw in my sleep. I like to leave wonders and thoughts in others minds.
Abstract art is also a favorite of mine. I will get a whole bunch of random objects and glue them together and make another random object out of all these other pieces. It is very fun and creative. I once went outside and collect things to make a birds nest. Leaves, sticks, and other outdoors objects were collected and my masterpiece was finished. I received an excellent grade.
Art is different for everyone. Some use music as an art form, others use dance as an art form. Any way art is used it is still expressed through the artist.

    Everyone has his/her own personal views of art. Art surrounds our lives on a daily basis, and has been around since the beginning of time. There has been many famous artists throughout history including, Vincent Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Picasso. These people, along with others, sculpted the idea of visual art as we know it today. Art movements begin with an idea for a painting, followed by the process of putting that idea onto a canvas. Other artists see this painting and decide to “copy-cat” it.…

    The first tribe I describe myself as belonging to is the tribe of creative expressionists, which thrive in areas of self expression and creativity. "I draw because words are too unpredictable. I draw because words are too limited" (Alexie 5). I sometimes find it difficult to express and understant the emotions I feel raging inside. In these moments, I enjoy experimenting with vibrant splashes of paint across a canvas or dark scrawling into a notebook to better understand or cope with these feeligns. I relish being able to question why things work the way that they do, and the freedom to add my personal insights into a situation in order to come up with creative solutions. Being boxed-in or pushed into 'conventional' methods of systematic processes is arduous and boring to me. Instead, I enjoy being able to question why things work the way they do, and being able to add my own personal insights in a situation to help come up with creative solutions. In some ways, I am not always practical in the ways I approach a situation, preferring to rest upon something's potential, rather than seeing the raw reality of what it actually is-- I am an idealist to the core, and sometimes find it difficult to let go of the ideals in my mind, in favor of compromising to reach a realistic solution.…

    Over the past semester, I can strongly say that I have grown immensely as an artist. I have been able to widen my range of skills as well as increase them overall. One of my best works, as well as one of my favorites is my Expressionist painting. Ih results in a nspired by one of my best friends, Eleanor, my painting displays a variety of Expressionist principles. Expressionism is based on the distortion of form and color, which often results in a wide array of expressed emotions. By creating colors that blended well and by using smooth brush strokes, I am able to create unity within my painting, which in my opinion makes it one of my successful works. Coming from a person who normally avoids painting and also…

    Characteristics of Abstract Expressionist Paintings-optical buzz, all-over composition, Matisse sometimes painted images on large canvases, as did Picasso but paintings still retained an object like character- the viewer needed to stand back to see the complete composition. Abstract expressionist paintings, on the other hand, draw the spectator into them. The field of vision is thus larger than the field of vision of the spectator, who finds himself in a world beyond measurement (class handouts) "Portable Mural"…

    Do you recall the little Coppertone baby? How about Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck? Have you ever sat down to read comic strips? These are all examples of “pop art”. Andy Warhol is one of the best known artists when it comes to pop art. He is the one who created the label for Campbell’s soup with Marilyn Monroe on it (Introduction to the Artistic Style of Pop Art, 2009). Pop art is a form of art that takes on a very diverse interpretation. It can range from advertisements, animation, sculptures to well…..just about anything. If it does not fall into a specific category of art, it is probably because it is “pop art” (Artcyclopedia.com). Social issues that are all around us are usually brought about in art, through the genre of pop art.…

    Art is an object or piece of work that brings one pleasure. Art is also something you see or feel and you cannot even begin to describe the ways you like it or how it makes you feel. Art is something that portrays beauty and happiness. Art lets you see the world through another person’s perspective. Most art seems to tell a story about where a person has been and the things they have encountered along the way. It lets you connect with the artist and see things through their eyes. Art is a way of expressing one’s self without words. When I think of art, I think of paintings, portraits, sketches, and sculptures. I know there are many other forms of art, but my favorite form is painting.…

    Robert Hobbs tells us in his article Early Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, that over the years the Abstract Expressionists were stumbling through a number of half understood truths about modern art and attempting to find a way to communicate their feelings about the apocalyptic state of the world. The Abstract Expressionism movement is similar in many ways to the 1920’s Surrealism movement. There are similarities and differences between the two styles. Hobbs tells us that although both Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism are concerned with the subconscious or unconscious mind, the former is classical in orientation whereas the latter is romantic.…
