Art Reflection

This painting is a portrait of an old woman who is sitting on a chair while facing to the left. She is wearing a yellow flower dress with a beige jacket while sitting in an empty room. Her beauty is illustrated by her curly, gray hair and also her wrinkled face, neck, and hands. These details is what makes her look real and pure. I like how detailed it is because it reminds me of my grandmothers.

A while back my uncle took my brother and me to a trip to the Museum of Contemporary of Art in San Diego. However, on that day, the museum had an event of Mexican heritage artist. I do not remember exactly all the details on that day, but fortunately, I do remember one painting I was able to remember, the “Flower Seller.” At the time, I could not understand why the picture had impact me and was the only one I can remember well. When I was young, I thought the young girl was decorating, but now I doubt she was decorating it. Today, I do not know what the girl is doing anymore. Is she about to carry it? What is in the background? Is she in a market or a field? And why is it that I remember this painting so well?

Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

I love drawing and painting water colors and, this picture give the impression of it being a water color painting. I like all the different colors the artist used. When I stare at the picture I feel that the women is shy the way she raise her hand to her face, but guys would feel lust for her because of her body and face. I also feel that she is very sneaky and a strong women who would be risky to have a relationship with. When I look at the story description I felt that my thoughts about the women were close. She had weakened the empire by distracting one of the guys from their duties. Even though the woman, Yang Guifei was strangled to death she was a popular subject in literature because she brought drama for centuries. I feel that the picture was expressed in wealth because; the Yang Guifei had to be wealthy or have money to be near the emperor. She had to dress nice to be able to distract the guy’s attention to get close to the emperor. I felt that this piece of art was breathtaking to look at not only was the colors beautiful but how it has a story behind it. I never really stare a piece of art for so long and try to describe it without looking at the story behind it. But when I did read the description I didn’t expect the way I portray this woman to be dangerous. Even though my description of what I thought of her before I look at the detailed description was similar. I still felt that it was amazing how I got so much from just staring at this piece of art. I guess it’s true what they say a picture does speak a thousand

Walking into the gallery toward Untitled #9, the work looks to me just like a dirty canvas, particularly in contrast to the pristine white of the gallery wall. So my first instinct is to look at the work, dismiss it and look away. But since I have made a commitment to stay with this work, I try to ignore the surrounding paintings composed of vibrant color and movement that my eye gloms onto.. It's hard to pull my gaze back to the Martin work, but I do and then start to take notes on its components(the process of which has provided somewhat of a diversion from the daunting blankness of the canvas). It is a rather large, square work; I read that it is six feet by six feet. As I get closer I see that the square is divided into 9 squares high and 6 squares wide, each square divided into 8 narrow rectangles. It reminds me of the notebooks French students use , perfect grids to aid in Cartesian analysis - clarity as a means of finding truth. Like the notebooks, the grids on the canvas start to create a clarity and peacefulness in my mind.

On October 25, the class went to San Francisco to visit the San Francisco Modern Art Museum. In the museum, there were many interesting and fascinating art pieces. The SFMoma is a large and spacious museum. The exhibits are large and in each exhibit there is at least one famous art piece. My favorite floor would have been floors 5, 6,and 7 because of all the famous artworks such as Andy Warhol’s Triple Elvis and Nine Marilyns in them. The overall appearance of the museum was contemporary.

The first art work I observed was called “Black Is the Color” by Paul Stephen Benjamin. The artwork is located in the Stent Family Wing of the High Museum, it was produced in 2014 and is from the modern time period. The structure is made of old televisions of all shapes and sizes are unevenly stacked on top of each other much unorganized. The televisions come about five feet off the ground, and there are wild cords wrapped around the floor and also some of the televisions. The space where the televisions are located is very dark, the only light in the area comes from the televisions themselves. On the screen of the television is an African-American women singing into a microphone, playing the piano as well. In some televisions the picture is cropped and you can only see her face and the piano can’t be seen to the viewer. In other televisions the color of the actual picture is different from others.

Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on

This summer I spent my time on South Street, in a store that has a long history there. I came in as an intern and left a more experienced photographer. In this reflection essay I will discuss the place in which I interned, the information I researched about my field and what I ultimately learned by the end of this experience.

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

When I had first passed my TSI test that I needed in order to get college classes, I was pretty excited to find out that I was taking art appreciation. At first it was nothing like I had expected, I thought it was just another class. We learn about famous paintings that are very popular in the modern times, stuff dating back a really long time.

When I lived in Chile I got to observe poverty, injustice, and corruption, but I didn’t recognize it as such while living there, I simply saw it as the way things were and accepted the bitter reality that my home country put me through. Thankfully, when I moved to Canada, I got to experience living in a comfortable first world country and truly realized the flaws that Chile has. This is why elements such as rebellion, social issues and the forceful infliction of Christianity reflect on many of my artworks. When I first started taking art classes in Canada, my teachers required me to put meaning into my artwork, something I had never done before. Due to this requirement, I slowly began to think about what the meaning of my art was before I started. This allowed me to meticulously plan my piece, which resulted in an improvement in my overall composition process. I began to express my point of view of the world, and brought in my experience of living both a third and first world countries into my art; in my opinion, making it unique, and personal. I usually tend to express my perspective of the world, with a variety of materials. These include pastels, charcoal, pen, paint, and multimedia. Stylistic trends that tend to appear in this type of my artwork is the use of dark colors, rhythm and the use of materials in a chaotic matter; by this, I refer to the use of multiple materials in one piece. While some conceptual trends include my expressing of social issues that I can

On September 15, 2017, around 12:40 a.m., I attended a Byron May Exhibition in Austin, Texas at an art gallery called ART on 5th. The collection consisted of multiple stainless steel plates painted on with vibrant soy based paints made by the artist. Every piece was meant to be worn with 3D glasses to help create depth and emphasize various colors.

This week, we studied and talked about Paleolithic Art, Greek Art, Roman Art, Byzantine Art, and Islamic Art in our history class by reading Janson’s History of Art. Even though I have no background or contexts of knowledge of these western art, I still learned a lot from western art. According to the reading material and video, I have a probably understanding about these distinct, different and interesting western art.
