Public Art

Public art, like any art, is beautiful. It is so amazing to ride through a thriving city filled with awesome works of artist by famous and local artist. Public art should be appreciated much more than it currently is. Public art brightens up dead cities. Public art inspires people to be creative, and appreciate the hard work and talent required to make these works. From this colorful fountain to the right to ingenious sculptures made by local folk artist public has a rightful place in the art community.

My Right and Left Brain

Left Brain: When it comes to my work, I am definitely a left brain type of person. I want my work organized and neat. I want it to look good and be in place. I like what I do to be considered of good form. My left brain it also so used when it comes to the way I dress. I am a fanatic when it comes to my dress appearance. I love to wear nice things and for them to all match from head to toe. I cannot stand tackiness. Even on days when i decide to be comfortable, I still have to be matching.

Right Brain: My right brain is used when it comes to me cleaning, doodling, and during my thinking times. I hate to clean so usually I either do not clean or it is weird how I do it. I try to make it easy for me in every way possible. Doodling is my form of art. I am not an artsy type of person, but I love to doodle. When I do, it is weird, unique, and about different things that I may be feeling. My thinking time is just that. I go off in my own zones and think of all sorts of things: some good and some bad. i am in my own little world and I go off on tangents therefore using my right brain.

Emmanuel

He's not art but I love him to death. Emmanuel is my boyfriend and we have been together for four years and eight months. He is a sweet, gentle, and kind person that I love to be around. We hang out everyday and I love every minute of it. He is the best. We have so much in common and so much that we enjoy doing together. We can always talk about any and everything and I do mean everything. Our conversations range from entertainment to just plain silly and everything in between. Our parents enjoy each other and we enjoy being at one another's house. Yes of course we have had our share of ups and downs but we made it through each and every one of them. Emmanuel is my teddy bear.

Shoes, Shoes, and More Shoes

Stilletos, pumps, sandals, flip flops,
tennis shoes, and many many more,
shoes are beautiful. Everyone wears
them and they express a person's
personality. Shoes can be ugly or beautiful,
high or low, and even feel like nothing at
all. Shoes have a variety about themselves.
They are so unique. Whether comfortable
or tight, they are apart of a human in some
kind of way. In earlier days, shoes were just
a low sandal, problably not worth much at all,
but not shoes range from $2 to $2000 and more.
Shoes are apart of life. Shoes are an expression.

Art Education

Going to school and learning is important for everyone. It is the basis of our knowledge. the big question at hand is what do we need to learn while in school. Of course, we need to learn math, science, English, and history, but about the electives? Are they important? Art is an essential part of learning. It makes a child expand his or her mind. In most classes, a child is used to knowing and doing that one thing for that particular subject. In art, learning knowledge is different. Art is a study where a person does not always do things the same. Children learn to use the left and right side of their brain. Is art education important in schools? Yes it is. It is a major advancement in what learning really is.

Graffiti is Art

I definitely think graffiti is art because it expresses what that artist has on his mind. They expound on their idea through graffiti. Usually being words, the artists expresses what they have to say. The piece is usually colorful and says what the artists really means in one or two words. Graffiti is definitely art in a different form.

Fashion Art--Tissue Paper Dress

There are so many materials to use when creating fashion. There is silk, cotton, polyester, rayon, and many more, but who would ever think "tissue paper?" I do not know where the idea derived from, but when it was created, many people used it. Although the dress can only be used once or only for scenery, the dresses look so real and are just as pretty as silk or polyester dresses if not better. And a pro for the dresses are the material is easy to maneuver and put into place. I am sure they probably are cheaper too. I think these dresses are 'fashion as art" because art is always using the right brain and creative ideas which these dresses express. Not only are they intuitive but also they are beautiful.

Musical Art

No words can really describe the video work of art, "Crazy," created by Gnarls Barkley. This video shows how he felt when composing this song. The name speaks so much for itself. He really outdone himself by going all out to describe the emotion of his mind in art form. When watching and listening to the video, I really get a sense of craziness and the illusions going through his mind. This video is beyond music and talent, it is art in motion.

Architecture in Art Form

I chose the Taj Mahal as my favorite piece of architecture because it is truly an amazing piece of art. Built by Shah Jahan as a tomb for his wife, the architecture took 22 years to create. This really shows how art is not a timed process, it could take years. Not knowing how great the structure would become, Jahan only built the Taj Mahal as a promise. This promise is now one of the seven wonders of the world and is truly well deserved for its uniqueness. It is really architecture in art form.

Brandii's Diorama

I chose fashion as the topic of my diorama. Fashion, I think, will always be an issue because throughout the years it will never remain the same. Fashion always changes forcing people to change what they wear. Fashion brings out the qualities within people whether good or bad and it speaks the personality inside one’s mind. One thing about fashion is that whatever problems we are going through, fashion enables the mind to express itself. No matter the time period fashion will always be prevalent. It is the basis of uniqueness.

Catharsis

Divorce, is a social disease that is spreading like a plague throughout the nation and the world. Countries such as Japan who throughout its history has always had extremely low divorce rates to America in which divorce affects over 50% of its couples. The reason for my catharsis is because of how senseless and avoidable divorce is. If people would take the extra time out to get to know there partner and find out the foundations of their characters people would make better marriage decisions. And better marrige decisions in turn would exponentially decrese the amount of divorce across the world.
