Blog Post 2: My Art Story

I understand that art is all around us, from people singing and dancing in the subway to tall buildings and historic monuments and structures all around the city. I believe that anything that makes me feel something as soon as I see it or hear it, most of the time contains artistic background in a way. For most people when they hear art, they will most likely say something similar or the same, that art is emotive.

I have walked around the city, I have take pictures, seen people dancing in times square, heard people singing in the trains and visited museums. But all my life I have been surrounded by people, wherever I go there is people therefore since a very young age I found myself noticing the human body and their facial expressions as something artistic. For example if I see a beautiful woman with an 80’s outfit walking along the city I would like to photograph it because it makes me feel like she is bringing back time. If I see a child crying as its ice cream cone is melting I would also like to photograph it because it would make me feel empathy. If I see a muscular man I also find it artistic because it would portray strength and hard work. However if I see a couple embracing in nature under the moonlight and a million of stars and fire flies light the vast terrains I would most likely photograph it or better yet, even try to draw it (even though I do not know how to draw). I would take such actions because it would make me feel honest love and romance and beauty and serenity and aww and a bunch of feelings. Furthermore I find dance, music, and acting art too.

In class, I look forward to understanding where art comes from and fully comprehend what causes art, and how art has influenced our world today.

 

Blog 2: My art story

 

Art, a three letter word.  Such a small word with such big meanings.  Art can really mean anything you want it to mean.  From a song to a picture to a quote, I believe that as long as it inspires you or conveys a message it is art.  Personally when I hear the word art I think of mixed media.  I took mixed media my senior year in high school and since then I can say my perspective of what art is really changed.

The goal of my mixed media class was to mix all type of materials and paint to create a portrait of anyone who inspired us and with it send a message to inspire someone else.  I chose Merida, the princess.  Her movie send out a strong message for anyone watching.  During class everything was about inspiration.  All the art my teacher showed the class had a meaningful message for the picture itself or for the audience to receive.

It was then that I realized that art to me was exactly that, something that inspires someone or tries to convey a message for itself.  It can be a simple picture of a sky and if it motivates you then I consider it art.  Music is art, photography, dance, painting, drawings, sculptures, and books can all be art.  It is all in the person in how they perceive the message given.  Art is something that we all create without knowing it.

Art refers to a display ,whether it be a dance, painting,etc, in which one can apply their creative skills to, in order to express themselves. Art is a form of communication. It’s meaning is whatever the artist intends it to be as well as how it’s audience perceives it. Art is influenced by the materials, techniques, and forms it makes use of, as well as the ideas and feelings it can create in its viewers.

Personally, art is something that can evoke an emotional response within me, either positive or negative. My appreciation for art has not always existed. I used to view trips to the museum or galleries as simply an excuse to get out of class. I would look at painting, displays, etc and have a simply opinion. Maybe I thought it was pretty or it didn’t make sense to me, but that was it. However as I got older and gained life experiences and wisdom, art became more relatable to be me. Now I see poems on the train and actually read them and reflect. I see murals and graffiti imagining the lengths those artist took to make said creation. An appreciation for art is unique and personalized, which make it so much more interesting.

Literature is a love of mine and I consider it a form of art. I started to read romance novels during my teenage years. I would read these fascinating dramas, all happy ending, and would always be content afterwords. I consider literature a form of art because it’s simply an artist, using a pen paper as their tool, and conveying their meaning onto pages of paper. I love the power of words and how it’s manipulation can tell many stories at once.

Art ?

this is me trying to define art as blunt as possible

Art is a waste of time, but its fun; in the sense that we don’t need to do it but people enjoy way too much of it at a time binge watching too many shows at once

Art is gay …… view Greek and Roman art for a reference, when I say gay its not to stigmatize gay as bad thing it a word I use because it sound right to apply it to how people share art

now is porn considered art? Howd you get here…. wtf
warning
eeehhh … vaguely depended on presentation, films and painting could use sexual themes to boost the narrative

should we study more or perform more art in our life?

Two different types of art; well performed art and relatable art (can also be both) “the long dark blue” by Swain

I  know what good nonsense is

My Art Story

People view or define art in many different ways. In their perspective which consists of reasons why they like or dislike about the techniques. For example, art is the expression of human creative skills and imagination. A painting, design or sculpture can let people express their thoughts and feeling to art.

Throughout history, there have been a few famous artists that most people liked such as Leonardo de Vinci, Pablo Passisco, Vincent Van Gogh. They have created various of painting or sculpture which has caught people attention. You would want to know more about the art because of the picture, colors, and style which makes it outstanding.

One of my favorite art is called the Cafe Terrance at Night by Vincent Van Gosh. The painting has beautiful scenery that caught my eye because it shows a place at night where people are eating and looking at the bright stars. What makes the art even better is the color that stands out, the color yellow and orange because of its brighness.

Blog Post #2: My Art Story

When we say art, we mean multiple things. We mean history, expression, and culture. Art is apart of our everyday lives whether we realize it or not. When we speak about art, we can speak about the powerful impact it has had in our past as well as our present. A discussion about art can be inexhaustible because of how vast and significant it is.

Art to me is a form of expression and therapy. I think every type of art can help people in their life. Whether it is writing, painting, drawing, creating fashion, music, and even reading. It can be relaxing and even a way of releasing a lot of emotions that aren’t so easy to express verbally. Art is also a form of education. The world is full fascinating history and we are able to know so many of these significant time periods and historical events through paintings and writing. These works of art allow history to come alive for us.

Art plays a big part in my life. I have always struggled with anxiety and expressing myself and art has always helped me with that. I have always taken comfort in writing, reading, and fashion. These forms of art have always been my own personal  form of therapy and they are incorporated in my everyday life.

I am really interested in learning about the renaissance era, the enlightenment era, and how religion played a role in a lot of the artwork that was seen during these time periods. I feel as though the art during these era’s represented a lot of the ideals that they believed in. I also feel as though they were even more unique and beautiful during these periods.

Blog Post #2: My Art Story

At the age of nine, I never had an inclination to learn about art & where it came from or how to create art. Previously, I would go to an art museum I would just gaze around, look at the sculptures, drawings, & photos and then leave. When I would draw I would be compared to someone who has two left hands or as a blind person, the drawings used to be that bad so I just stopped in general, when I doodled I just draw randomness, nothing cohesive. Until I went to the Brooklyn Museum & it all changed.

On a cold, frigid day in January, my family took us (my three sisters & I) to the Brooklyn Museum and as soon as we got there we were met by a tour guide, Oliver. He showed us around & went in depth through the history of some of the art including The Mellow Pad & Roman Landscape, throughout this guide I felt a joy in learning where these art pieces were made, what they meant, & how they ended up at this museum. After we left the museum I wanted to learn more about art and where it came from so I did. That is my art story & how I got to this class.
