Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art. My life would be incomplete without performing music. I’ve spent time, in concert bands, in bell choirs, in school and church choirs, and singing, playing in music festivals, and in pit bands trying not to laugh my head off at the actors’ improvisations. But the art that truly speaks to my soul does not lie in creating music, it lies in dancing to it. …show more content…
According to her, “ it looked like my arms and legs weren’t connected”. Her mission to connect my body parts was only partially successful, I am still incredibly clumsy. In the studio, however, every part of my body is alive, and every part is controlled. Are my toes pointed? Are my knees straight? Is my chin up? Are my wrists floppy? The rigor of ballet is that every molecule of your body must be perfect, and so no performance can ever be truly perfect. You can always improve. That’s what is so addicting about dancing. For those willing to chase it, the dream is there. Everyone is chasing perfection, but it runs deeper than that. A performance can be perfect, but have no soul, no life. You live for the moments that you inhabit the music. When you move and you can feel the anguish of a broken heart, or the uncertainty and weariness of a long life lived. When that connection happens, everything else falls away. This is what dance means to me. A dream, a journey with no destination, a love, and an
However, the “live” is still typically absent. As the audience for this kind of art, we are always complicit in its meaning. This ringing especially true to any sort of “live” performance. With artworks such as this, one has to allow for themselves to be changed in response to the stimuli. O’Grady pushed the limits when it came to identity in her pieces, she went against the norm and decided to be different. Others chose to intervene into public spaces such as the street, or in this case a parade, to instigate a conversation between the viewer and performer - as one, they work together to allow for later viewers to understand the motif and the
A primary objective in measuring productivity is to improve operations either by using fewer inputs to produce the same output, or to produce:
Imagine a third grader, small and blonde, standing on a stage that practically swallows her. She gazes in awe at the bright lights that seem to tower miles above her head; likewise, she follows with a stare, fixating on the hundreds of darkened faces that remain directly in front of her. Unlike her classmates who fidget with nerves beside her, she feels a rush of adrenaline. What may have seemed to some an ordinary choir concert in a dull auditorium, was, to me, a life changing moment. Ever since this day, for 9 years now, I have had an unwavering passion for music and performing. As I aged, I found myself excitedly learning how to play 7 new instruments, but even considering the vast number of bands, orchestras, choirs, and instrumental lessons that I joined, I noticed myself
This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their
I have been learning about the art since I was young. It was 4 years ago that I started studying the art for my dream, a production designer. Even though I have learned and experienced so many things, I still do not know a lot. In Korea, we learn drawing first when we begin to learn about the art. Such as Rendering, sketches, and animation, drawing is necessary in the art and design. I learned the perspective, how to use charcoal and pencil, and still-life in Drawing 100. However, I am pretty sure that Drawing 101 gave me an opportunity to learn advanced study such as how to do portraits, still-life by pastel, and three-point perspective.
I now realise that the Arts, including music, creates opportunities to engage, inspire and enrich our lives. Music making and responding can challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge and understanding of ourselves, our communities and the world.
Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to discover the artist’s work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.
The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the
“Painting today is pure intuition and luck and taking advantage of what happens when you splash the stuff down. “- Francis Bacon. However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.
I visited National Gallery of Art, Washington DC on Friday, March 29, 2013 to see the exhibition “Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Art and Design, 1848-1900”.
This could either be a Grizzly Bear or a Kodiak bear. This sculpture is number 112 out of 1500.
If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.
Ever since the first grade when I would hear the wheels of Miss Arthur’s art cart coming down the hall to our classroom, I could feel the excitement of what was to come. The knowledge that we were about to see something wonderful and get to try our hand at it. To this day when I step in a classroom I get the same feeling, a feeling of endless possibilities. The art room is a place for hands on learning that lets the student explore mediums and problem solve in their own unique way. When teaching art I constantly ask myself “Is this something I would want to do?” because if I wouldn’t want to do it, then I could not sell the idea to a class full of students! If I am excited about an idea I will be able to express this
All over the world, art is used to represent many things, especially the artist's imagination
The first artwork I chose didn’t have a title with it but it was drawn by Douglas A. Beckett. I went to the Activity Center of San Marcos with Geoff Bretches and Alice Horn (My mom). The painting is a portrait with multiple types of rock looking shapes. You can’t really tell what the time of day was but it looks like it was outside on a mountain or cliff. It is a vertical realistic piece. The artwork was made in the contemporary period because it was drawn just last year. There is just a cluster of a bunch of big rocks surrounding pebbles. The artist must not be that famous currently because I couldn’t find any information on him.
