Aluminum Easel Essay

Throughout all of high school my friends and I spent the majority of our days in the art room. It was always assumed that there would be at least a few of us there at all times, starting our days there, being excused by our teachers to go there during class, during lunch, between every class, and then for hours after school. The art room was practically a second home to all of us. With the best high school art program in the state paired with a school of students who have been taught to appreciate art all throughout school; amazing, talented, passionate art teachers; and extremely dedicated art students who, on top of normal classes, were taking on very intense art courses, those who invested the time became quite advanced art students.

While working as a designer, I developed own illustration style using pens and watercolours. Since these two materials are readily accessible and easy to learn, I believe this method would be useful and enough for the public to express their ideas and bring a sense of pride and accomplishment. Throughout my years of teaching high school students at the Smile Art Institute of South Korea, I successfully aided students in honing their artistic abilities through the use of various mediums including pastels and watercolours – students were taught to create 2D and 3D artworks with precision description. I would like to share these experiences with others, who may think art as “difficult”, or requiring “natural talent”, and become a positive influence in approaching artistic

Another indoor environment that supports children’s learning and agency is having a craft area set up with different colors and materials and resources giving the children choice and decisions and variety and giving them independence. The area will provide scissors, glue, paper, cardboard, feathers, buttons, beads, and plenty more sensory items. This area will be well organized so that children can select the particular resources and activites that they would like to involve themselves in, once again giving the child agency. This is sending the message to the children that we trust them with their decision and the materials they may chose and when they choose them. Trust is something educators and children need to build with each other in

During my time as volunteer at Somerset Dade Academy, I was able to work closely with the elementary and middle school teacher. During each visit, I was able to follow Ms. Lee’s daily routine. In the morning, we had 30 minutes to plan and get her cart ready with supplies she needed for the day. Also, we would both create various model artworks to inspire her students to create something more original and imaginative. She wheeled her cart through certain elementary classes depending on her schedule. Depending on the grade level she was assign to that day, we were able to teach her students the fundamental concepts of arts and major art movements, all in 30 minutes. Every three weeks, she would focus on a concept, artist, or art movement. Additionally, she would assign vocabulary words, which her students would copy and also had access to them online on Quizlet. At the end, she would administer a summative test on everything they learned for the past three weeks. On the other hand, Ms. Lee’s middle school classes were different, more one-on-one, and it was a one-hour period. Her students were able to recreate impressionist and expressionist artworks, such as Monet’s Water Lilies, Van Gogh Starry Night and The Bedroom on wall-sized canvases.

Besides his learning disability, he also has suffered from a rare disease called Face Blindness. This disease causes you to not recognise faces, no matter who it is. He always says that it helps him remember people if he paints them. But that's not all. When he was almost 50 years old, a spinal artery collapses and he became paralyzed from the neck down. That made it much more difficult for him to continue painting. But, with some physical therapy, some advanced technology, and perseverance he was able to continue creating. He has a brush device that is like a brace on his arm that allows him to move. He also has an easel that rotates and moves up and down so he can reach the whole portrait. He went through a lot but is still a happy person and is doing what he loves.

The Arts and Craft movement was a social and artistic movement, which began in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth spreading to continental Europe and the USA. Its adherents-artists, architects, designers and Craftsmen sought to reassert the importance of and craftsmanship in all arts in the face of increasing industrialization, which they felt was sacrificing quality in the pursuit of quantity. Its supporters and practioners were united not so much by a style rather than the common goal- a desire to break down the hierarchy of the arts and to revive traditional handicrafts and make art that could be affordable to all.

Nobody would argue that Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time. However, even Picasso would be overmatched by this upcoming printer.

In 1915 the concept of “readymade” art was introduced by Marcel Duchamp when he took an ordinary snow shovel and painted the title In advance of the broken arm. He had previously turned a wheel up-side down and attached it to a stool, creating a piece he called Bicycle wheel. This was also considered a “readymade.” A “readymade” by Duchamp is “an ordinary object elevated to the dignity of a work of art by the mere choice of an artist.” Duchamp produced many of these “readymades,” but it his readymade entitled Fountain that we will be discussing here. Duchamp’s Fountain originated from a urinal that he with two other friends purchased from a plumber, took to his studio, and turned it on its backside. He painted the pseudonym “R. Mutt” on

Adobe is a commonly used material in earthship construction and has its earliest recognized use in 8300 B.C. Although labor-intensive adobe serves as a sustainable and abundant material that can often be produced onsite. Adobe is typically composed of clay, sand, silt, and gravel, and various amendments such as straw and grasses. Proper distribution and ratios of the materials are essential in creating adobe blocks that are strong and do not shrink or crack; therefore the soil used should be screened and tested before production. An important element to adobe construction is the bond beam that connects the roof to the walls and prevents collapse of the adobe blocks. Problems with adobe construction lie within the perceived notion that it is unrealizable and primitive, therefore many builders encounter problems in obtaining building permits.

Today, Art has gone through many changes. Abstract art dominates art today shows ambiguous life a man lives, in contrast to the unambiguous art of the past. Modern does not have spirituality and cultural values and beliefs in the past and is now a reflection of a materialistic life of today.

This brought much controversy that he was exploiting the body of an under - age girl as his own gains. This shows that art is used for popularity and financial gain. The message behind art is to show ideas and ideas that are relevant to society. Art is meant to enliven life and things, though modern art shows more if life’s negativeness.
