One of my most prized works was "Forever Free" (1867), a sculpture depicting a black man and woman emerging from the bonds of slavery. Another one of my pieces, "The Arrow Maker" (1866), draws on my Native-American roots and shows a father teaching his young daughter how to make an arrow.

Allow me to introduce myself my name is Olive Rush. I was born on June 10, 1873 to a Quaker family close to Fairmount, Indiana. I come from a long generation of Quakers. I was raised on a farm with six children. Many Quakers view artistic recreation as a nonessential pastime or way of life. I was lucky enough to have parents that were supportive and encouraged me to pursue my dreams as an artist. My parents were both artistically inclined but were never able to express those talents because of our background, and because art was not considered as spiritual. They made sure that I was, and I showed these gifts at a very young age.

I have chose to tell the story, and achievements of well renown artist Peter Morgan. Peter morgan is 33 years old. He grew up in Abingdon, Va with his parents Ed, and Helen Morgan. Peter graduated from Abingdon high school in 1996. Peter had never taken a ceramics class until his sophomore year in college. His college professor at Roanoke College inspired him during his time taking ceramics to go the length with it. He went on to continue his education at Roanoke College in Salem, Va. He later received his Bachelor of Arts degree from this university. He then went on to receive his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts in San Francisco, Ca. He also received his Master of Fine Arts degree at Alfred University

John Augustus Walker was an artist based out of Mobile, Alabama. He was born February 9, 1901 to John L. Walker and Lilly Roche Walker. “Walker was first encouraged to pursue art by his teacher Maud Mayme Simpson during his years at elementary school in the Mobile County School System. At age 16, Walker entered the work force as a stenographer for real estate agent F. M. Backes to augment the family

After serving in World War II, Richard enrolled in the University of New Mexico where he painted the Albuquerque series, his master thesis. He was taking a flight above the clouds where he saw farm lands and farm roads. Albuquerque is an oil based paint on muslin that follows the idea of abstract thought. Richard is on of the greatest artist ofd the postwar era and many look up to him and his art abilities. I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the abstract thoughts paintings. However, they are absolutely stunning paintings. They can be seen in all modern places throughout the world. Abstract paintings are taking over the art world for their unique looks. For such an odd painting, art like this make you appreciate the thought behind

The artist John Lythe Wilson I was suggested to look at and also an artist I believe can help me elevate my artwork and bring it to a level of appreciation throughout many perspectives. Wilson is an artist from Rock Hill, SC and did the bulk of his schooling in

One interesting fact about my historical figure is that he was born with his twin brother who passed away before the age of two. Another fact is that he loved drawing so much and started at such a young age (the age of three), his dad built him his own studio so he wouldn’t draw on anything in the

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.

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 name of my art work selection is the Osiride statue of Senwosret I.

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.
