Charles Nevad: A Brief Analysis

“This is where you can find your soul, if you dare.” (Anderson, pg 10) This belief comes from the mind of the Melinda, the progantists, art teacher, Mr. Freeman. Art is truly a door to the mind of an individual, showing things that people aren’t able to say. It shows through images and colors what many people aren’t able to express in words, events and thoughts speaking through the medium. Art is growing as a use of therapy to heal and tell. Psychologists analyze their patients art at a psychological level, interpreting the image into words. One of the theories in art therapy, which is seen throughout “Speak”, is the idea that unconscious thoughts are expressed in an image. (Irvings)These images then can be explained rationally. Melinda’s three major art images, the half dead trees, turkey bone, and cubism represent this theory.

As an individual who’s been drawing and painting since before she could even hold a pen – apparently, I used to spill my grandma’s tea and make shapes with it – art has always been my favorite pastime. It’s tranquil and relaxing, and mixing paints is the most satisfying experience. Thus, it’s no wonder that the activity that I’m most invested in is art.

Andrew had quite a vivid memory and a fantastic imagination that led to a great fascination for art. His father recognized an obvious raw talent that had to be nurtured. While his father was teaching him the basics of traditional academic drawing Andrew began painting watercolor studies of the rocky coast and the sea in Port Clyde Maine.

We all have a way of channeling our thoughts, some through writing some through painting. The concept

However, our trip did not last countless hours as I looked over 30 paintings in about twenty five minutes. This was not due to my lack of interest, but more to my novice mindset towards art. Art is similar to most skill activities in that people that are active in said activity can better understand and articulate the small actions that lead to a great piece of art, a great football play, or a great movie. I am embarrassed to say that I did not pay close enough attention to the intricacies of my dad's art, but I accepted to write these articles in hopes I could learn more about my dad's favorite past time.

My literacy path has a lot of exciting events that happened during my childhood. At that time I was inspired by my mother who was my literary guardian, and encourage me at that path. She was the closest person to me at that time. She has been teaching fine art for more than thirty years at one of reputable schools back home. She didn’t settle for that job only. She was cooperating with many other artist running exhibitions that won awards. Five years ago, my mother was promoted to be a supervisor at the ministry of education of all the art instructors over the region. As child whose literary guardian is an artist, I spent most of my time trying to imitate my mother’s painting.

In his essay, “Nature”, Emerson conveys, Nature can be a supportive friend who teaches valuable life lessons and helps develop a new way of thinking, if a person spends quality time with it. Nature teaches a valuable life lesson as, “In the presence of

My Christian artist is James Seward. James Seward was born in Alabama, and raised in Tennessee. He spent summers with his grandparents in the wild back-country of Alabama. When he was six, his grandfather bought him his first set of oil paints, and as a young child he often painted his grandparents by lamp-light, to their great astonishment. "From the time I was five years old, I was continually painting and drawing in that great environment,” the artist reminisces with fondness.

And when I remembered that painting, years later, I knew that would be the focus of this paper.

In his times of dire need, this man would always look at the large painting in admiration. If only everyone could reflect his image. But no, humanity was so undeserving of what it already has obtained. The one to the left of that holy image, was that of his father. His father was likely the next thing closest to Jesus. Or at least he thought so. Well, though? No, he knew it to be nothing but the only truth. On the right side, was a picture that was differing from the others. It lacked the intricately engraved,wooden frames. But nevertheless, it was simply pinned to the wall. The flames danced upon those walls, illuminating the pictures of what we should all aspire to be. Perfection. Well, those pictures portrayed perfection to the man, accept for the one pinned to the wall. In a sudden fit of rage, strong hands tore the picture from the wall, sitting it directly in the center if the candles. His eyes seemed to glow brighter than the light of the candles,as he watched the picture of Historiaburn. He finally eliminated one from his list. He stared at the tiny gold labels under the frames. 1﴿ The Good ﴾Father﴿ 2﴿The Righteous Judge ﴾The Savior﴿ 3﴿ The Evil Finally, he could put up a new picture. That of Levi Ackerman.. It felt like she was a dandelion in the wind, floating on the air and sky. Her body felt that of cozy and content. It was very easing,and almost hypnotic. Within that moment, the feeling abruptly left. Mountains of reality

Throughout the story, Charlie begins to have flashbacks of his past life as a child. He starts to recollect childhood memories and begins to recall his mother Rose, his father Matt, and his sister Norma. Throughout these childhood memories, Charlie starts to realize how emotionally

A great artist once wrote, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. This artist was Vincent van Gogh, soon to be an appraised artist known all around the world for his works, such as Starry Night. He is one of the very first artists of the post-impressionist style than is now adored in every continent. However, there is much more to the man than one painting. Creating a full timeline that stretches beyond Gogh’s life, this paper will discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and the impression he made on the world.

Toulouse’s art inspires me to paint in a similar fashion, how he can get so much across with such a simple painting. The reason for choosing him was that La Toilette captured me, it is such a beautiful painting but it so simple. It doesn’t show the face of the model and only use blue as its main colour but it still gets something across the viewer. That is what inspires me, that even though he painted in such a simple way, he still communicated his messages and meanings easily.

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.
