Free Post: Friends


In a world of so much evilness and corruption and greed, its so hard to find true friends. When a true friend comes into your life, they should be cherished so much. Friends can come in so many forms and shapes, and they can bring so much joy and happiness into your life. Friends are just an extension of your family and should be treated as such.

Art On You Tube


when searching youtube.com for artwork many wonderful and great artworks were available. You tube, like many other web sites, have became venues for which artist can express and display their art for all of the world to see. This painting to the left is one of the many examples of you tube serving a bigger and bigger role for artist in such a global and internet-based society that we live in today.

Free Post: 1st year of college

My first year of college had some very, and yet bad experiences. The first year of college has opened my eyes to a whole new world of adulthood, responsibility, and time management all located within an educational environment. My first year has really helped me as a person to mature and discover myself as a student, but more importantly as a woman striving to make it in this very harsh world. College is a learning time period, once I make it through successfully with a college degree, I will appreciate it for all the beneficial aspects associated with it.

Diorama Drama

  • A diorama that taught me something I did not know.
  • During the presentations of the dioramas I came across on in particular that touched me. It was the one discussing the prevalence of child abuse in America. It really opened my eyes to just how many children are being abused in America roughly 3.5 million to be exact.

A diorama that is very creative

In my opinion the diorama portraying the horrible conditions America's beaches are in due to pollution was very creative. I thought the person who did this diorama put a lot of time and effort into their work of art.

I oppose the opinion of this diorama

The diorama concerning the issue of a playoff in college football did not sit well with me. I strongly oppose the idea of college playoff, plus at least in this near future, that is not feasible anyway. College football is so popular all across America as is "so if it ain't broke don't fix it".

I oppose the opinion of this diorama but i can see where he/she is coming from.

The diorama discussing big business corporations and the greed struck me two different ways. They argued the point that businesses do not cater to customers which is sometimes true. But of businesses did not care about there consumer then why would we continue to buy the product?

The artist of this diorama was really bold. How?

Divorce is a social issue that affecting millions of people across the world. The artist of this certain diorama did this hot topic just by doing a bold but yet classy diorama. I thoroughly enjoyed this artwork.

How did it feel for me as a diorama artist--

  1. It felt so good for me to express my feelings for a worldly issues through a creative medium such as a diorama.
  2. I felt scared but proud of my artwork at the same time. I was scared because I did not know how the reactions of my peers would be to my issue and how their opinions would affect me. I was also proud because i felt I did a very good job in my diorama and i believe i put forth my best effort.
  3. The creative process gave me insight into how an artist works and operates to create a beautiful peace of work. It was also a very good experience to express how I feel about a topic through an unordinary avenue.

Artist in Society


In today's society artist have a very unique role and position. Though we artist and their wonderful works that they contribute, we so often fail to recognize them as as productive citizens in the world and society. Artist so often have problems finding studio time to keep providing the world with the many awesome and inspiring artworks. Also artist struggle in finding venues to place their art so it can be viewed by the masses so they can get recognized by way of awards of the selling of their works.

Art and Film


The presence of art in film is more prevalent than most people will ever realize. It takes artist to make implement and act out every scene in a successful move. Most people are ignorant to the fact that it takes a tremendous amount of time to fully develop a film that will be remembered through the years and generations. Movies is a way an artist, the director, can express an idea or depiction onto a television for mass audiences. A movie is a piece of artwork no different than a beautiful painting from Picasso or Monet.

Poetry Slam-The Perfect Friend

It's hard to find a friend so patient, kind, and true.
It's hard to put someone dear and close to you.
But in you i found a true friend indeed,
a guy of good thought, word, and creed.
You make me smile, you make me laugh, and you also make me cry,
but I know that you will be the one, right there, to dry my eye.
You always know how to bring joy when there's pain,
even when the day begins to bring rain.
I never thought you'd be in my life,
through the good times and even through the strife.
I can call you when I'm happy, when I'm sad, or when I'm blue,
I know that you'll be the one to help me make it through.
Even when we're mad and we fight and we fuss,
there is reconciliation for the both of us.
You are my one true and dear friend,
You will always be with me to the very end.
I love, honor, and cherish you the most,
You are the number one guard standing at my post.
I'm here to tell you now or even tell you then,
YOU are my one and only PERFECT FRIEND!

I Know What Art Is


Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel is the definition of a beautiful work of art. This wonderful masterpiece shows one of the greatest artist to ever live at his best. The ceiling took years to paint and required a lot of time and talent that only a great artist like Michelangelo could put forth. The ceiling painting contains hundreds of scenes from the bible and is very symbolic. As long as I have truly appreciated art, this work always inspires me every time I look at it. If anyone where to ask me what is art, this painting would always be my example.

The Color Purple



Rarely is a film made that I would personally consider a work of art. One of those few exception would be The Color Purple. From the awesome cast of characters to the insightful and inspiring plot, this movie has it all. Anyone who has had the privilege to watch this movie in its entirety will not find it hard to agree with me concerning this movie. This movie was a off-shoot of Alice Walker's book of the same title. The movie was made famous when Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities starred in the all-time classic. This movie will always be an awesome work of art to me.
