Art Experience by Justin Lopez
Justin Lopez
1/31/13
Art I have been doing art for as long as I can remember. From the time I was in Kindergarden to my senior year in high school I've been doing arts and crafts. I've had art teachers, vacation bible school leaders, and my parents teaching me how to create things my whole life. I usually only recieve art instruction when I sign up for art courses. I've completed all sorts of art projects including paintings, clay, abstract, landscapes and all other types of activities. I had two very good art instructors in high school and they were very critical and rewarding and that probably is why I enjoy art as much as I do. I've had a very broad range of activities from drawing with charcoal and pencils to painting and sculptings. For the most part most of my art activities weren't holiday centered they were more of your own imagination and idea's. All of my art projects were graded on pretty specific grading rubrics. It measured how much you worked on it and made sure that you followed all of the necessary guidelines. I have had a great experience with art in my past and I'm excited to learn more about it. My strengths in art I would say would be that I really enjoy drawing and shading pictures of things and my weakness is that I don't really know that much about the history of art and where it all came from. Art relates to society very much so. Advertising is used everywhere you go and you wouldn't have that without art skills. I am very excited to learn more about the history of art and sharpen up my old art

    The “Self-Portrait with a bandaged ear” by Vincent Van Gogh and “The Two Fridas” by Mexican painter Kahlo Frida are depicting the artists’ deep hurt and emotional breakdown at losing their special person in life. However, the portrait “The Two Fridas” is representing the artist’s conflicting psychological mind more into details and straightforward than Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portrait “The Bandaged Ear.”…

    A close second interest is in the artistic field. I feel that being creative is a great skill to have because it helps to discover new ideas and new methods of problem solving. I feel that being artistic doesn’t mean you have to know how to draw or paint. In my opinion, I think that art can be expressed though your own personal gifts, such as being a creative writer or being a motivational speaker. I feel that the drawing aspect of life is very important to me because as a child, no matter where I was, I could always pick up a pencil and a piece of paper and visit a different…

    Last year, I had a class where everyone had to write positive things about people on slips of paper that those people would later receive. Most of the slips I was given had words like “artistic” written on them. It’s the one thing people think of when they see me. I’m given art supplies for birthdays and Christmas, I used to be able to fill sketchbooks in just a month, and creating just now seems like something I’m supposed to be alive for, but I didn’t get serious about it until I was in middle school and didn’t want to make a career out of it until I was a freshmen in high school. Unfortunately, I’ve been going to a school that does not offer much or any art classes but on my own, I have been climbing my way to my dreams of becoming an animator, illustrator, or tattoo artist. Going to Perpich will benefit me well in this process and I’ve already taken art classes at the Art Academy, started my own webcomic, experimented with many different mediums, and have read books about improving art styles. The visual arts is essentially my passion and I will do anything to keep it that way.…

    Art Matters By John Tuasa

    • 326 Words

    There is evidence of the creation of art by humans since early life. We generate art because it becomes a passion, an intense emotion. Art is a way of life that connects with everyone and everything. Humans have a need to create and express ourselves. Each piece of artwork is a distinct inner expression of that person. Anthropologists and Historians have discovered that any society that rejected art would not thrive and may eventually become extinct. “Anywhere that neglects the arts shortchanges its people.”, states John Tusa in his article titled “Art Matters”. For example, Sparta, despite its name, rose to become a dominate military land-power in ancient Greece. Though Sparta’s great victory, nearly nothing is left from the city because…

    When going to in high school, I most of all enjoyed drawing and painting. I love using a rich palette of colors in my works. My skills were often awarded with prizes in high school. Among the various courses we were offered at school, my favorite ones were the two fashion classes I took in one of my school years. I scored well in both of them. Overall, I used to be a good student, and the school administration always placed my picture in the lobby of the school.…

    Sherlock Homes and I are at the local coffee shop discussing the recent case of the kidnapping of Nancy Philips and how this event is ever so tragic. At this moment Sherlock is approached by a woman. The woman looks younger, in her late twenties I would say, she had light brown silky hair & she was tall and a very fit woman at that. She had beautiful big green sad eyes and a big black overcoat on with a slouched posture. The young woman had her hair drooped over the side and pinned back out of her face. She stood over us for quite some time, then bursted into tears, Sherlock then went to the next table got a chair and offered her to sit down and explain the problem. The woman then said is a low voice, “My name is Georgia Nicole Philips, I am 31 and my daughter has been kidnapped” I could almost see Sherlock’s brain working when then he knew she was talking about poor old Nancy Philips which ot to be her daughter.…

    Juan Luna's paintings are described as being vigorous, realistic and dramatic and with romantic elements. In a single brush stroke, he paints a fair of emotions that fills the beholder with drama and tragedy of his theme. His style shows the influence of Delacroix, Rembrandt, and Daumier. However, despite experiments in what would now be called "proletarian art," the basic style of Luna remained classical, because classic dignity was what he desired for the Filipino and his dreamt-of republic.…

    Being a Computer Science major I felt that it would be a waste of time to take any art class. Prior to this course I had either a hostile or indifferent attitude towards modern/contemporary art depending on my mood. I did not think I would learn anything that would apply to my life as I was not an artist and had no aspirations to become one. As this course progressed so did my feelings towards art. Instead of indifference or hostility it now sits at slightly mild interest to indifference. I see it as a first step in the right…

    Michael Craig-Marin’s work is unrealistic, it’s modern and is conceptual while Harmen Steenwyck’s work is more realistic, dark and looks very medieval (even though it wasn’t painted in the medieval period). The colour MCM used in this piece of art are complementary and they contrast from each other and are not the original colours of the real object. While the choice of colour which Harmen used are the actual colours of the real object if not, they are close. I also notice that Harmen shades a lot on the other hand, MCM doesn’t.…

    I find that I am lost without art. Art has changed my very essence, yet it's hard to explain how it has done so. It's like a new way of thinking and perceiving the world. No one can possibly understand how art changes someone unless one is an artist oneself. Art is the best way I've found to express my opinions, yet it has also taught me to speak out: I'm louder and more open minded than ever before. When I create, I feel like the world is in my control. From clay to prose, and from prose to music, and from music to just plain thinking when I create I'm focused and calm. I usually won't stop creating until I'm finished or satisfied.…

    My grandfather was an artist, and he taught me the basics at a very young age. I have been drawing and painting for over 10 years, and I have experience with many mediums, including colored pencil, oil paint, acrylic paint, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, ink, and more. Creating artwork is something I love to do in my free time, and by being a part of the Prospector, I can turn my quick doodles into something that other people can see and enjoy. I slowly transitioned to graphic design once I realised how much more you could do with a computer than a pencil and paper. I have experience using multiple kinds of software, and I love creating unique pieces of art. I still continue to make some physical art pieces, but I find myself grabbing my computer more…
