My Body Art Analysis
How it all started
I was born in Visalia,CA, in 1996 I really discovered my passion for painting. I drew for the majority of my childhood, it was more interesting to me to convey my perspective through vibrancy and a little watercolor. In 2002, and 2003 a wax pig and flying frog sculpture were chosen to be bronzed at the Tulare County Fair. It inspired me to take still life, figure drawing, print making and painting at College of Sequoia in 2003. In 2004 I started my body art career, following my love of learning and progressiveness I continued to paint with acrylic and oil. I opened American Tradition in Oak Harbor, WA in 2006 where I was able to display and sell many of my work.
In 2009, my love for warmer climate and the desert drew me back

    One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

    Essay On Body Foner

    • 718 Words

    Foner reveals how the definition relates to who is entitled to enjoy it or, rather, who is an American. In times of threat to national security, Americans are often willing to sacrifice some degree of personal liberty. This concept is painfully revealed at the present time in the face of Arizona's new illegal immigration policy. Freedom is also an inalienable right of all Americans. In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese-Americans were denied their freedom and civil and legal rights in the U.S. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, for instance, progressive focused on democratic citizenship and women's advance through the suffrage movement, but at the same time massive disenfranchisement of African Americans in the South and repression of racial unionists and socialists occurred.

    Art Critique

    Julie Mehretu was born in 1970 in Ethiopia. The University Cheikh Anta Diop is where she was a student and she got her MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in the year of 1997. Renegade Delirium, another famous artwork by Julie Mehretu displays the fact that she is an abstract artist. In 2004, Mehretu articulately created the painting that was named “Stadia II”. As soon as my eyes set upon her art, I had the instant thought of “Wow, look at the balance of colors and design!” Mehretu’s brush seemed to be dancing on the canvas in this piece as she splashes colors of yellow, blue, red, black, grey, orange, white and aquamarine. Looking at the art from the bottom up, the hue altered from a softer yellow to a bolder dark blue and green. Line plays a huge role in the painting because you can see various curves and diagonal lines taking place. I also noticed Mehretu using the intaglio technique in the upper portions of her art. There are several shapes in her artwork that can be identified looking at the piece once such as the diamond, the circle and rectangle. A viewer might notice the layer that Mehretu uses in her art which might cause some disturbance to the eye, because it did to me; if you look at it too long. The artist used mixed media when she uses the new generation technology of computer design to achieve some of the depth along with paint on canvas. The form of this work gives the viewer a 3-dimensional feel primarily due to the way she textured the layers of work. You might just describe the art almost “in the air”. The support that the 2-demensional shapes give off to the rest of the work makes the 3-demensional shapes represent the piece in a more uncompromising manner. The bottom of her canvas seemingly shows achromatic design because you only see a few strokes and lines with a couple drops of color here and there. The intensity…

    I researched the different means to get my images out to people who would enjoy them. Small doubts crept into the periphery but I was looking ahead. No downward spirals, the only way was forward. I learned the formatting rules and created a cover. I published my first coloring book on January 25th, 2017 and I continue to draw. Two sometimes three images in a day came through. My mind was free and it was time to express itself.…

    I'll admit it. I literally forced myself to go to this exhibition, although I had heard from people that this was an experience like no other. What I saw for myself was the most graphic and scary, but in a weird way, the most beautiful display of human anatomy. What I experienced that afternoon totally blew my mind. It was not long after I arrived there and saw it all for myself, that I was glad I had made the effort to go.…

    At beginning of the 19th century, women were excluded from certain sports and physical activities. (Vertinsky, 1994) Sport culture was traditionally established to train and socialize the entire male ruling class to prepare them for elitist ruling; therefore, women were not included in this. However, women were encouraged to participate in passive sports like tennis, golf, archery, swimming, and gymnastics, which didn’t require too much strain on the body or physical contact with other players because it was believed that women bodies could not withstand too much physical exertion. (Vertinsky, 1994). Thus, women were discouraged from exercise because their bodies were viewed as being weak, fragile and incapable. It was considered masculine for a female to take on certain roles that were outside her gender role. (Vertinsky, 1994)…

    Society now looks at tattoos differently than what society did 100 years ago. Not all Americans believe people should be allowed to have tattoos. Most Americans believe that they resemble gangs and crimes. Many people do not believe in tattoos because it is against their religion or they do not feel as if they are right. A lot of Americans have a problem with people discriminating against Body modification. They do not understand why they are doing this because in the First Amendment it clearly says we have the freedom of speech. The freedom of speech is being able to express your thoughts and feelings. Though body modification does not talk to you, they still have a message. So should jobs be allowed to set limits on tattoos? Even now some job forces are limiting how many tattoos a employee can have and where they can have them at. The majority of jobs are now only hiring people without tattoos and piercings. Tattoos are a freedom of speech and allow one to express his or her self. “Sara, has lost two jobs because her body modification was showing and they said they must let her go”.Therefore, it is wrong for jobs and citizens in the U.S. to…
