Blog 2: My Art Story

When someone says art in casual conversations 9 out of 10 time they refer to paintings that hang in louvre or the Met or in any other art gallery, but when I hear of Art I think of a variety of things. Art to me is film, sculptures, photography, music, dance, fashion, and culture and because of this Art plays an essential role in our lives whether we like it or not.

My appreciate for art started over my love of history when I was first introduced to The Renaissance and all of its glorious artist. As I studied more about art history I came across Frida Kahlo someone who till this day is some one I admire no just for her paintings but her resilience and her being able to just be her. Frida Kahlo so important to me that I believe she has shaped me and my mentality about how I view others and how I view myself.

For the upcoming class I would like to learn about Paintings by artist that are often ignored or also by artist that during their time were not welcomed.
