The Love Of Art : My Love For Art

Attending The Mississippi School of Arts is not only an opportunity, but a privilege. Working with a large network of alumni and former students that have similar passions in life, can keep me motivated to do art. Having a community of artist around will help me to stay productive and creative. Surrounding myself with other artist can lead to new ideas, constructive criticism, and a great camaraderie with classmates. I want to be able to attend workshops and lectures, meet with visiting artist, and participate in extracurricular activities that bring me in contact with other artist. By the time I graduate, I hope to have an the opportunity to meet with numerous individuals in the art and design world. These connections can help me lead to art

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

In this pursuit of art, I’m constantly researching or dialoging with multiple artworks. Sometimes my own, sometimes the works of others. The past couple years I have felt a little more limited in my dialog with art, mostly due to time constraints while being in school and working. A similar sentiment shared by many students who are experiencing these difficult times, I’m sure. This lack of time to fully advance myself in the art that I’m trying to practice is trying, but does not make the task completely impossible. My choice to advance my career as an artist through the pursuit of a secondary degree was one of the best influences to my art. Surrounded by a strong community of incredibly talented and helpful staff and colleagues has elevated my work beyond what I could have imagined. Advancing my level of higher thought along with it.

This art work made by Pierre Auguste Renoir is oil by the visibility of the smudges and the texture the oil creates over the whole painting. The artist uses color evenly, the men are wearing white while the women are wearing dark navy blue, while the men and women are evenly distributed throughout the picture. The artist uses more dull colors, no dull vibrant colors mostly white, yellow, and dark blue. The colors used are even and well blended. Some symbolism used in the painting is how the men are all wearing white cutoff t-shirts but the women are covered up in dark clothing which around that time period women did not show skin possibly. In this piece the forms are realistic and

As I continue through my third year of my Art History Major, I find not only my knowledge but also my mind expanding into a broader range of relevance to my career and life goals. Art History is the study of social, economic, religious and political components, which shape history through aesthetics. Studying the environment and events that influence the artworks produced throughout history has drawn me to the history of Christianity and its effects on First Nations peoples in Canada. I come from a multicultural family where I share Beaver Lake Cree heritage from my Father and Catholicism from my Mother. The contrast between these two belief systems has brought my interest to understand events that occur and have taken place to those who I have met, and also their ancestors.

With so many outlets to find R&B that suits your taste, why settle for a flavor you don’t like?

Throughout the 20th century, women struggled to take their place as female artists. One artist who has become very well-known and admired for her bravery and talent is Frida Kahlo. Her art was greatly inspired by her indigenous Mexican culture, she brought bright colors and dramatic symbolism to her works. She primarily painted bold self-portraits, and brought her own personal experiences to life through her artwork. The life of Frida Kahlo is one of love, suffering, and talent.

Art can be defined as, human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature. It’s also the conscious or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium (freedictionary.com). It is the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of arts collectively as paintings, sculpture, or drawings: (ex. museum of art; an art collection). Art can also be the principles of methods governing any craft of learning; (ex. the art of baking; the art of selling).

My intended major is Art History. When I first took the Ancient-Medieval class in 2011, I was taken back by all the historic beauty to be seen and stories, to be heard. When I met Terri McDermott, my Western art professor, I became drawn even more so. I loved every lecture, assignment, exam, and taking notes. Having become an outspoken student, I communicated to professor McDermott after every class about comparisons between movements and artists. She quickly took notice of my interest and motivated me to take on the next class. At this time, I started to believe I had found my major so I set up an appointment to meet with a counselor to create my educational plan. From then on I began checking off classes on the associates degree for transfer

Pillar 1 Subject Matter: In artwork there is usually one main theme or subject matter to the piece. This focus allows the audience to understand or get a sense of what the artist is trying to get across. The subject matter of artwork is what tells the story when looking at a piece, it is usually takes up the majority of the canvas. Although it may be hard to identify for some people it is what the artist chooses to be the one main focus of the piece. In the Islam faith their first pillar, Shahadah, is the profession of their faith in one God known as Allah. Like in Islam, art in a creative way professes one purpose, one story, one subject.

Art is a way to escape from the real world, and at the same time release my central emotions

I like the primary colors on the repeating circles which look like monkey bars. The two buckets at the top of the poles must bring hours of fun and excitement for the children as they fill up with water and spill over on a hot summer day. This is a nice area to encourage children and families to go outside and play. I feel there is too much television and video games these days and not enough outside adventure. This neighborhood art is an outdoor invitation for fun of all ages! There are lakes and activity areas in my neighborhood too and I am admiring their beauty different now that I am in Art Appreciation.

When people encounter an artwork and try to understand it, some would refer to the artist’s intention, but some may think it is not helpful. This interpretation is concerned as one essential component of aesthetics, both in the philosophical perspective and in common sense. They two kinds of people have their official name for what they believe. The debate here is about whether the artist’s intention can influence the interpretation of the art.

‘The Louvre’ is the museum I researched, and ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ is the painting I decided to choose. The Louvre Museum is the largest in the world, and is situated in Paris, France. Around 35,000 objects are exhibited over an area of around 40 square miles. The Louvre is also the second most visited museum in the world, trailing only the Palace Museum in China. The louvre has more than 9 million visitors annually. (Louvre, 2016)

     Unfortunately, for some artists, the reality of life isn’t so beautiful. One of the most talented, yet mentally ill artists of all time was Vincent Van Gogh. He was also from the 19th century belonging to the post-impressionists. In order for one to analyze the art of
