Cecily Brown is an active and acclaimed painter born in London in 1969. She received a Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts from Slade School of Fine Art in 1993. She has lived and worked in New York City since 1995 and has been exhibited in institutions across the United States and Europe such as Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Tate Gallery, and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Her work can be described as tension filled scenes that drift over the border of figuration and abstraction, which often results in her categorization as a “Neo-Expressionist” or a feminist Abstract Expressionism.

As I was walking across the 17th century art section at Walters Art Museum, hanging behind the big rectangular pillar in the middle of the hallway, an oil painting on panel by Trophime Bigot draws my attention. The high contrasting tones of colors and values and the artist capability to make the grotesque painting appealing interest me.

Artists use their artworks to communicate different meanings and transfer specific messages to the audience. Their artworks can be presented in different forms like architecture, drawing, painting, sculpture, pottery and many other forms. Each artwork contains a specific meaning which is usually based on the artist 's beliefs, culture, identity and the nature surrounding us. Rona Rubuntja from the Hermannsburg Potters, Bronwyn Oliver, Christo and Jeanne Claude each presented their art in different forms but they all communicate meanings and ideas to the audience. Rona Rubuntja who is a senior member of the Hermannsburg Potters and her famous pottery work ‘I 'm Black’ for the exhibition ‘Our Land is Alive’ at the National Gallery of

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

One thing about the news today that my Mawmaw has noticed is how it has changed so much since she was young. If there was a shooting or a tragedy, it was a rare occasion. Today, a major crime happens weekly. From the church shooting in Georgia, to the explosion in France, and, just recently, the shooting in Colorado at the abortion clinic all happened within months of each other. She especially recognizes how the devil is attacking young people of today.

When it comes down to it, I am a weirdo. If someone were to take a consensus of what people thought of me, it would defiantly be along the lines of that, however people probably would have come to that conclusion for some other reason all together. The reason I’m talking about here is because I know how to ride a unicycle and juggle. I have had the basic talents for becoming a circus performer since I was seven and I’m still accumulating a repertoire of amusing, yet odd talents that, who knows, maybe one day will be useful.

I wish I could see “Goofy” again! Goofy was my old best friend about 3 years ago. He and I were like Batman and Super Woman. Goofy was his nickname and we called him goofy simply because of his facial features that resembled those of the cartoon character “Goofy.” His actual name was Robert, but he will always be know as Goofy to me. Goofy was the type of kid who you would look in his eyes and see no type of hope for the future. Goofy and I were raised under the same circumstances but he chose another path to take. Goofy and I were made and molded by the struggle around us but instead of seeing such demising circumstances and choosing to try to make it out, Goofy chose to embrace the struggle as his only path in life. I would always look into

The contemporary artist of focus for this catalog is Patricia Piccinini. Patricia Piccinini was born in 1965 in Freetown, Sierra Leone and had only lived there for a few years of her childhood. In 1972, at the age of seven, Patricia and her family relocated to Australia. Prior to pursuing art, Piccinini studied and received her bachelor's degree in economic history from Australian National University in 1988. Only a few years later, she then realized that her true passion was art. In 1991, Patricia Piccinini received another bachelor’s degree in painting from the Victorian College of the Arts. She is affiliated with many different aspects

While written for ages 7-12, I can’t deny as an adult I fell in love with this delightful story. Yvonne has a captivating way of telling the history behind the painting

I was standing aside a friend, and turned to ask her if she felt the grace of God around her just as I did, -as a believer herself- she agreed with me, and we both sat there and felt the glory that this painting offered us. As I glanced at Mary Magdalene’s face I wondered if the artist was able to convey the same emotions I felt, but it seemed as if she was basking in the moment and realized that Jesus Christ is the human form of God, and it seemed as if she was terrified and relieved at the same time, and was ultimately humbled that she was in the presence of God.

On November 23, 2016, I attended the Art Gallerie On Main in Bismarck, ND. Lydia Richez-Bowman owns and operates the gallery. Additionally, she is the artist of most of the work in the exhibit. The other artists are from the local and regional area. Richez-Bowman’s acrylic painting, Winter Solstice, beautifully shows a green and blue dragonfly flying near the sun. Another piece by her is Time Travel. It brilliantly illustrates a great tree with green leaves. The tree is partly covered with a black gate. The arch of the gate has three large circles in which the top of the tree branches are seen through. Zoe, by Anthony Nelson, is a portrait of a young girl. The portrait is made of charcoal and white chalk. The piece has detail, as the lines

I would never claim to have had a terrible childhood. My childhood was great, and I got to grow up beside my older brother with mom and dad looking out for both of us. After I started going to school, I remember spending my hours before and after school at the First Christian Church where I attended daycare. My dad would sometimes pick me up from daycare and take me to the post office where he was the postmaster. While he worked, I would sit his office working on my homework. Sometimes he even had to go to the post office during the nighttime, and bub and I always tagged along to play in the empty, dark building. Our time to play at the post office and for dad to work there ended when I was around ten. He was forced to retire as his health

After I spent most of the afternoon perusing the paintings in the online galleries, I finally selected an oil on canvas painting titled Flowers in a Vase. The artist is Rachel Ruysch and it is displayed at The National Gallery in London. There are many things that I find interesting about this particular piece, aside from its obvious beauty. The most prominent is being painted by a woman.

The consequences of less fortunate, or neglected children not being able to eat lunch can cause children difficulties with concentrating in school. The children will be focusing on his or her stomach growling; instead of the teacher's lesson. He or she will not be able to focus on task, and this could lead them to getting left behind with the understanding of concepts. When a child starts fallen behind his or her peers, then the classroom becomes difficult to grasp and stay on task. A less fortunate or neglected child that forgets to do his or her homework, and lacks participation in class. Usually this can lead them to failing or having to repeat the grade, which is a goal that the teacher tries to deter once he or she identify the problem

I chose to critique a painting that I saw when I went to the Fine Arts Center here in Tullahoma. The Fine Arts Center host many different exhibits in a year, but the recent one is The Watercolor Society’s one hundred forty ninth Traveling Exhibit. The Tullahoma Fine Arts center used to be the house of The Baillet Sisters. Supposedly the women still walk around, and open doors. On the upstairs wall there are two paintings of each of the sisters.
